Be sure to stop in here even if you're not golfers! The setting is gorgeous and offers some different vantage points than the hotel. The food and service were excellent as well.

For being the only coffee shop in Lanai, it's actually really good coffee! I'm from Portland and I'm obsessed with coffee. I was pleasantly surprised.

With the Pacific Ocean as the backdrop, Nobu Lanai showcases Chef Nobuyuki "Nobu" Matsuhisa's signature new-style Japanese cuisine, as well as new creations infusing local ingredients. Drawing upon Chef Matsuhisa's classical training as a sushi chef in Tokyo, his life abroad in South America and his travels around the world, his culinary style blends classical techniques with exotic global flavors. Chef Nobuyuki Matsuhisa is renowned for his clientele of the world's most affluent celebrities and connoisseurs.

One of the better sushi experiences on the planet. Simply put, Larry Ellison likes Nobu, and since buying the island from Rupert Murdoch, he's made sure he's improved everything from the local community pool, to the experience of the Four Seasons. Part of that was convincing Nobu to open on Lanai, with fish flown in almost daily from Tokyo seafood markets, on a private jet. This is some next level stuff. There is a teppan-yaki, communal dining experience available, with your own private chef (think Benihana, but yeah, that's insulting to Nobu). Reserve ahead, for sure. The sake menu, the bar, the traditional sushi, and the amazing execution on the unbelievably fresh product, all make this to be one of the best dining experiences you could hope for. Some of the appetizers are out of this world creative, and I do believe there's a tasting menu if you just don't want to deal with choosing. You can't go wrong. We ended up here twice during out trip, because we couldn't help ourselves.

My wife and I had dinner at this restaurant after reviewing reviews on TripAdvisor. The restaurants at the resort we were staying at were great, but we wanted a change so we gave Lanai City Grill a try----we were glad we did. It is located in a historic building that we were told was used as a club by the Dole family.The menu offered a variety of items, but we chose seafood, which was fresh and delicious( I believe it was Ono). The service was great and friendly.There was a choice of indoor and outdoor seating, with live entertainment in the outside patio area.

ONE FORTY's name pays homage to Lanai's beautiful 140 square miles and a steak prepared at 140 degrees. At Manele Bay, enjoy traditional breakfast fare with an island influence and dinner featuring hand cut steaks and fish caught just off shore. With an emphasis on local ingredients, our Chef showcases the flavors native to Hawaii. Choose a wine from our accomplished 300 bottle selection and enjoy the picturesque view of Hulopoe Bay.

This was a surprising treat, because you learn to be wary of the hotel restaurant. But the entire F&B operations, at this property, are unparalleled, and both breakfast buffet and dinner were incredible. The breakfast has a number of Japanese inspired things, from miso soup, wakame salad, sashimi, poke, rice, etc. Made to order omelettes, and fruit and berries, some you might expect plus some local stuff you might never expect. Their service is gracious and filled with Aloha. The dinner was absolutely incredible, with some of the best seafood of our lives. The seafood tower could feed 6, but nope, we took care of it. They have nailed surf and turf. Fun fact: "140" means both the square mileage of Lanai, as well as the perfect temperature for a steak. =)

We liked this place so much that we had two lunches here. It is a bare bones restaurant. Nothing stands out except for some really good food at a reasonable price. Our group of 8 tried many different items and everyone was satisfied. My Mahi-Mahi platter was yummy. Highly recommending that you stop if you want a really good casual lunch

Lovely setting with license plates from all the states as décor. Great bar with friendly patrons and bartender Barbara was as well. Apparently the pizzas are favorites, we just had drinks before going back to Maui on the ferry. A MUST stop in Lana'i City!

The food here was so light and delicious. We ordered their food and had it delivered beachside or pool side nearly every day.
My better 1/2 loved the acai bowl with granola! I enjoyed the Crudités with Hummus, assortment of hot sauces and pita bread. They also made a great watermelon juice, smoothies and of course afternoon cocktails with fresh squeezed juices.

Just after arriving at this drop-dead gorgeous property and getting acclimated.. and after
enjoying a killer sunset, I decided to have a nice relaxed simple dinner so I wandered into
the Sports Bar. I travel alone so naturally, as I always do, I sat up at the bar where Alyssa greeted me with a large smile and total Aloha spirit! She was a combination of an ambassador, local guide, bartender, food advisor and server all in one...just a delightful
gal. Four Seasons is known for a very personable staff, this young lady was a star!
I enjoyed a very large, tasty authentic fresh Hawaiian lobster roll, the lobster was sourced
from the Big island and it was totally delicious. For dessert I had a wonderful creme
brulee with fresh berries and house biscotti. The sports bar overlooks the beautiful pool area and ocean...great place with fantastic service good food. I highly rec it!!
