Lanai City Grille
Lana'i City Grille is the alluring restaurant located within the historic Hotel Lana'i. In harmony with the charismatic ambience of the hotel itself, this friendly venue glows with Hawaiian charm and is a bona fide feast for the senses.
The menu was designed by culinary genius, Beverly Gannon and is a delightful mix of island fresh ingredients with vibrant flavors and colors. Anticipate generously portioned entrees ranging from locally caught seafood, prime meats and our signature rotisserie chicken.

"Excellent meal. Lovely ambiance. Great service. Best sea bass I've ever eaten! Lanai roll outstanding. Wine a bit disappointing for the price. Would definitely recommend this restaurant. Knew of the culinary adviser from watching Top Chef, and we were not disappointed in the food. Great experience."

"This is the best restaurant on Lanai (sorry Four Seasons). The food is locally-sourced, and includes goodies like Lanai-caught venison as well as fresh local fish brought in daily. Service is friendly and personal. Theresa and Jacob are particularly memorable in their attention to detail and great attitude. Michelle was our host the night we were there, and she made us feel welcome and special."

"We really enjoyed our meal at Lanai City Grille. I had the roasted chicken and my partner had the ribs and both were very good. We started with the bisque which was really wonderful. The bar and wine list offered good selection. The only slightly disappointing this was being seated in the back room which is lacking in ambiance -- ask to be seated in the front room, if possible."
