Food was great. Our waitress was very good. My wife took her recommendation and was extremely surprised how good it was. My filet was excellent. We will visit again next trip.

Miso sea bass was overly SALTY from the miso without any other flavors balance it out. Even worse was the fish tasted off. Mixed seafood grill came with risotto. The rice was UNDERCOOKED. It came with catch of the day, which we were told was barramundi. Last I checked this fish is native to Asia and Australia. Service was also slow, took over 20 minutes after ordering to get our food. Wouldn’t be so bad is they gave some house bread to keep huger at bay but they didn’t. And had to ask twice for lemon. Super disappointing. We were better off eating at the restaurant at our hotel.

I expected sushi to be better for the price. Try rice was dry and not sticky. Sushi was just average.

Very busy with the summer crowd. Noisy inside; our server, Shelby, who was awesome, had to almost shout. We’ve been in previously and the food is always awesome. Once a few large parties left, the noise inside was better.

The lychee martini is not to be missed! Altho no lychee as a garnish, the flavor made up for it - perfect. We shared the appetizer baby back ribs which were just the right amount of sweet. Then the Chilean sea bass. It was succulent as it should be but we weren’t crazy about the buerre blanc sauce and pesto mashed potatoes. The miso was not obvious and the pesto was jarring with the fish but the fish was delicious. Next time we were in town we will definitely return.

We were referred by the concierge at Marriotts Timber Lodge as an excellent fresh seafood restaurant and we were not disappointed. We had tuna sushi, a mixed greens salad and entrees including fresh seafood. The reasons for 4 rather than 5 stars are: 1. The seats were low vs table height; the server was delayed 10 minutes before taking our order and again bringing our wine; and when I ordered a more expensive second glass of chardonnay it came ice cold. I tried to warm it in my hands unsuccessfully and our server made some excuse related to the room’s air conditioning. Thus no 5th star.

My wife and I had a reservation at Kalanis on a Friday night. We were seated immediately upon arrival. It took a while before a server arrived. We did not have a wine list. We asked an employee standing around for a wine list. He said the waiter will provide it. We eventually got a wine list. We ordered a bottle of Chardonnay (which was very good), a house salad, the mixed seafood and the shrimp scampi. Instead of the house salad a different salad was served (that we returned). Food was very good, service (Raul) attentive and friendly. The wrong salad also showed up on the bill. It was corrected quickly. Overall we had a very good dinner despite a few hiccups.
