If wishing to dine in the restaurant, reservations 48 hours in advance are advised. It means the food is so good that your mouth is broken, basically exceeding the expectation for tastes and sense of absolute food goodness. This restaurant warrants the introduction of the Hawaiian slang phrase 'broke da mouth' which is what you would say to your grandma when trying her fresh prepared dinner. The very homey feel of this restaurant echoes in the cuisine, composed of great mostly local ingredients. Hukilau Lanai has food that a Hawaiian grandma turned chef could be proud of. *Reservations highly recommended- 48 hours in advance (they are that popular) Hours: Tuesday through Sunday 5 to 9:30 pmĮnvironment/Dcor: Indoor/outdoor covered seating in keeping with the lanai theme, low light, fine dining setting inside, with live Hawaiian music and more causal seating in the lounge entrance area. The ocean is just 50 yards from the restaurant and can be seen from the upper lounge, and the lower dining areas. It is a very visitor friendly environment with Hawaiian slack key guitar music drifting along on the ocean breezes every evening in their lounge. There is an air of family about the place, which is surprising as they are located amidst a hotel lobby in Kapaa town. Hukilau Lanai is becoming very popular for its consistently delicious food and a courteous service.
