Leilani's on the Beach - KaanapaliExcellent meal and service.Excellent meal and service. Will absolutely come back!5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMAWESOMEThere were 5 of us for dinner...my husband and I and our 3 guests. We all had something different, and everybody loved their selection. They loved it so much, our friends went back 4 days later!! I had the miso glazed prawns (early bird special) and it was delicious. LOved the red sangria too.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMWow!Leilani's is part of the T Group of restaurants (Dukes, Kimo's, Hula Grill) so we knew it had to be good. But this was so much better than good!
My husband had the prime rib (maui beef) that was rare, juicy and nicely seasoned. I had the citrus grilled fish which was swordfish that night. UMMM.
Wonderful food, great service - and HULA PIE! Hula pie is a signature dessert with the T Group, vanilla ice cream with chunks of macadamia nuts, MOUNDED into a chocolate crust, served with hot fudge, chopped macs and whipped cream. Heavenly!5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMFantastic Food, Stunning FoodMy husband and I dined here our last night in Hawaii and had an amazing experience. Our server was very helpful and made a wonderful recommendation for me. I had the most amazing fish ever - monchong in a lemon caper butter sauce. I wish we had gone to Leilani's earlier in our trip. I would have gone there every day! Thank you for a wonderful experience.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMYum!This was our second dinner at Leilani's in four nights.
This time we both ordered prime rib which was still medium-rare despite a late-ish reservations. Perfectly served with smashed potatoes and delicious sauteed vegetables.
We treated ourselves to Hula Pie again. Not to be missed.5/2/2013 12:00:00 AMGorgeous viewWe only came for drinks, dessert, and the view, but I'm sure a full meal at Leilani's would be amazing. The view is the best part, outdoor dining in Hawaii can't be beat. It's top of our list to come to next time we visit!4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food and view were fantastic!The food and view were fantastic!

GO THERE....4/2/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food and funWe went to Leilani's twice while on Maui and both times it was very enjoyable. The food is excellent and our servers were personable. Two things I would change - the drinks were a bit weak on alcohol yet very expensive, and to obtain parking validation at Whaler's Village you have to wait for a few minutes after your meal for the manager to show up with a sticker. Not a very good system. But otherwise it was a fantastic meal and an ideal location.3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMGood selection on the earlyGood selection on the early bird menu at a great price. Too bad they gave our ocean front seats away and had us in the main area.3/28/2013 12:00:00 AMLeilani's lives up to its name!!1st time @ Leilani's . Everything was great. Made the reservation on Open Table, we were sat right away & had a great table, there were 3 of us. We each had a different appetizer, each one was as good as the other. Poki, Sashimi & Chowder, all excellent!! For Dinner my Wife and I shared the Mahi & Tiger Shimp , while my Son had a Fliet. All was good there as well, Mahi was excellent, Filet was really good. Portion size was perfect for us, as I said we shared & it was plenty, but we had appetizers. There was enough room for a Apple Crisp Sunday that was perfect. Also if you like Bread, the bread at the beginning is amazing!! Price point is fine, not overly expensive, I mean its Maui & it was fair. Would go back without thinking about it.3/27/2013 12:00:00 AMOur table was ready on time.Our table was ready on time. The service began when we sat down and didn't stop through our entire meal. We had a large group, but they did a great job. Wonderful selection of "pupu's", and at least my entree was wonderful. Seared Ahi steak done and spiced just right.3/21/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat service, ok foodOverall the food was ok and the drinks watered down. Nothing was bad but nothing was exceptional. The service overall was excellent as they were all extremely attentive and were great at ensuring that we had everything in place for a 2 year old that was within our party.
If you're a foodie, overall you'll be disappointed as the food is just bland.3/21/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Special Occasion placeWe have been to this restaurant many times and is my husband's favorite place to eat for his birthday.
