Blue Ginger Cafe - Lanai City - Homemade pastries, fresh mahimahi sandwiches, grilled pork chops, and ensemada keep this little café jumping from morning till night. It's an excellent and cheap alternative to expensive hotel restaurants. 

Dining Room - Lodge at Kuele - Imbued with the ambience of a holiday dinner party.  Flames blaze in giant stone fireplaces, and a pianist/vocalist zings between mellow jazz standards and contemporary Hawaiian faves. The menu reflects what's freshest and the chef's whims. Playing off the theme of rustic luxury and the local passion for hunting, a venison preparation is always on the menu. Great Service!

Ihilani - Manele Bay Hotel - Although the over-the-top decor (handblown Italian crystal chandeliers, Chinese-style antiques, and a glass ceiling) has been toned down, this restaurant is a bit fussy for a beach resort where most of the guests are wearing flip-flops. The chefs combine local produce with fine ingredients from around the world in contemporary Italian cuisine.  Always a memorable!

Lanai City Grille - Visitors to Lanai are likely to find the best meal of their trip at this unpretentious restaurant. While not quite casual, the Grille is bright & welcoming, with lots of wood, sunny yellow walls, and the smell of home cooking.  Prices are moderate.

Ocean Grille - Manele Bay Hotel - Formerly the Beach Restaurant.  Open-air seating under sun umbrellas means you can stroll up from the beach or hop out of the pool to tuck into fresh seafood plucked from the ocean by local fishermen. 

Pele’s Other Garden - Lanai City - By day, it's a deli and sandwich shop; by night, cloth goes on the tables and casual Italian cuisine hits the plates. This is the only restaurant on Lanai outside of the hotels that has a liquor license, so you can sip on fruity concoctions, beer, or wine with your meal. The bright-yellow room is decorated with license plates. Now that they have one from every state (& 6 countries), there is a collection of beer taps.
