    The food, service, and view were absolutely amazing. Dont hesitate to eat here. The balloon bread and steak were particularly delicious. Live music also added to the ambiance.

    We booked a last minute reservation after our first choice fell through. We really enjoyed the food and the view! The family ordered grilled halloumi and watermelon for apps. Salads I recommend the burrata and papaya. For entrees I recommend kebabs, caccio e Pepe, branzino. The side of mushrooms went really well with the noodles.

    Not a great experience- service was lack luster at best. Many open tables yet it felt like they didn’t have enough staff. Food was good not great. Would have expected much more in terms of the service and that would have have offset the average food.

    We have been going to Halani for several years now. It had become our favorite along this coast because of their gluten free options and delicious food. However, now they have gone with a Mediterranean menu? The delicious blackened ahi dinner is now a thin ahi steak with a tomato relish? Kabobs with no fresh fish besides shrimp? No truffle fries? No gluten free chocolate crunch cake? We were very disappointed in our meal, but we do love the hostess, Venessa, and our waitress, Ashley. We live here part time, but we won’t be going back until the menu changes. Also, the Ha Bar dropped their ahi sandwich and Makai’i salad? Our favorites. Hoping for more well rounded variety in the future.

    Tiny portions for a big price tag. The food was good but not $200 dinners worth of good. Nice ambience lovely setting and Charlie our server was amazing. We probably would not come back.

    Really liked the food from their new Mediterranean menu, particularly the balloon bread with hummus. The two of us shared five smaller menu items and enjoyed them all (balloon bread, chicken kabab, bucatini, broccolini, and chocolate torte).
