Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Kalani's offers a "great Hawaii vibe" with exceptional food and service. Diners love the Chilean Sea Bass, ahi poke, and shrimp lettuce wraps. "Amazing service" from servers like Misty and Curtis enhances the experience. While some mention menu availability issues, the overall ambiance and "delicious" dishes make it a must-visit in South Lake Tahoe.

Super restaurant in the heart of Heavenly Village so a great location when visiting South Lake Tahoe. Good choice of food and New York steak was superb. Nice atmosphere and good choice of drinks, would definitely recommend this place

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.

With all the new staff, it took an hour before we got our first course, which was the wrong kind of sushi. The server did a great job doing what he could do, but we ultimately had a role of sushi and a salad and canceled the rest of the order And left. Might be a good place once everybody’s on boarded and trained up.

Great food! The sushi was excellent. The Hawaiian roll was very hot but good. We had the seafood platter and it was outstanding. We will go again soon.

The food was outstanding and everything came out well and on time, the only issue we had was our server. They were very un inviting and simply just wanted to turn and burn us. Not asking us anything but our Order and throwing our dessert menus at us. We had to talk with someone else about desserts and coffee and felt very un welcomed.
