   Menu is very hard to order from if you are not particularly fond on Greek food. Preparation was not attractive but quality of food was good. Service was way to rushed. Ordered salad and it came in under a minute. Same with main course. Felt like it was sitting in the back already plated. Also waiter was very nice but not informed. He gave us no rundown on the menu and was not able to answer questions. Also presentation was not good. My fish was swimming in oil to the point I had to ask for another plate to separate it from the oil. The most disturbing part however was the decision to eliminate the music and hula performance that we had grown to love and what drew us time and again to the restaurant. Will be awhile before we return.

   Exceptional food and a stunning atmosphere! We were blown away by the lamb chops – truly the best we've ever had. The branzino, beef kabobs, and calabrese pizza were also outstanding. The dramatic evening sunset skyline provided the perfect, unforgettable backdrop. Highly recommend!

   Beautiful spot with great ambience. We ordered bread with dips and a salad and asked for it to be brought out first. And we ordered 2 entrees to share. About 1 minute after bringing us the appetizer and salad, they brought out the 2 entrees. We couldn’t really enjoy the appetizers because we needed to get to the entrees before the flies got them. The Cacio Pepe was good but the very expensive local fish was mediocre at best as it sat there for a bit and lost its appeal. Not worth the very high price.

   Halani was stunning in design, and the food was flavorful and well-presented. The cocktail menu was absolutely top notch - innovative, locally inspired, but still palatable. Service was very compassionate and our server gave great recommendations, but it’s clear that the staff were stretched too thin. This was probably an especially busy holiday weekend, but the experience fell short here. We waited probably 10 minutes too long to receive a dessert menu, then another 15 before our server was able to return, and at that point we had decided to just head out instead of trying one. If Halani can staff up or manage their table commitments better, this would be an all-around top notch experience.

    HaLani was incredible. The resort itself was beautiful, the restaurant interior was stunning, and everything we ordered was delicious. They sat us at a table where we’d have a nice view of the sunset and all of the staff was awesome. We got the bread balloon, dip trio, falafel, halloumi, fried zucchini, trio of skewers, Caesar salad, orzo salad, Waygu steak, and the roasted cauliflower and it was all fantastic. Would definitely recommend checking this one out.
