    Reservation made for lunch at HaLani, which was not open, nor disclosed in the several reservation reminders. Directed by a sign to Ha Bar. My guest ordered a salad with added shrimp (3) which arrived without dressing. My $33.00 Shrimp Caesar had 3 shrimps, a half bowl of salad and “torn foccacia” replaced with grocery store type croutons. While I have dined at HaLani many times for both dinner and lunch this was a very disappointing meal.

    The setting at Halani is so lovely and our server Charlie was fantastic! We enjoyed the watermelon starter as well as the burrata, both were delicious. The burger and tacos off the bar menu were also top notch. We sampled several desserts to finish off the evening, none of which disappointed! All in all a wonderful dining experience!
