Mānalo Lounge – meaning ‘sweet water’ in Hawaiian, celebrates Hawaii’s diverse mix of cultures that have influenced the area’s cuisine. Inspired by Oahu’s natural resources - where the fresh water of the mountains harmoniously merges with the salt water of the ocean, thus creating a sweet water, the cuisine pays homage to the mix of cultures found here, as well as throughout Asia and across the greater Pacific. Akin to the saying, 'Ae Kai - to bring together the land and sea to serve as a gathering place, Mānalo Lounge serves as a welcoming intersection to gather with family and friends for dinner, in a contemporary, yet casual setting at the water’s edge.

    Nice place overlooking the first lagoon. We sat in the shade as the sun wasn’t down yet, so that was nice. They have a decent pupu menu. We had bao buns with short rib and pork belly, goyza, bibinbap, and bok choy salad. All were delicious.

    Anniversary dinner.. Given isle table, had to ask for ocean table, they were available mind you. Took way too long for anyone to serve us, beginning to end. And no we don't need parking validation!!

    Server was not attentive. Had to wait long periods with empty glasses and the lounge wasn’t even that busy. The greeter guy was nice. Sushi was excellent. Everything else was mediocre. The skewered meats were cold when we took our first bites. One mai tai was extremely strong and the next was fairly weak. $175 for overcooked A5 wagyu. They ask if medium rare is ok for the wagyu. I should have said no, it should be seared briefly and served cold (rare) in the center. By the time it gets to you and you finish the last piece that’s been continuing to cook on the hot stone, it was well done. Cool presentation, but it ruined the meat. I was excited about trying it, but was disappointed.

    Lovely evening at Manolo. All of the seating has a view of the ocean and combined with full moon it was beautiful. Staff were very attentive without being intrusive. Cocktails were great and we enjoyed multiple small plates including crispy garlic shrimp, Oahu sushi roll & spicy sushi roll. It was all very good and plenty for 2 people to share. Overall , a great dining experience. We would definitely go back.

    Hubby and I had a “date night” while on spring break with the kiddos. Great escape from the chaos of the Aulani next door. It was the best food we’ve had all week during our Oahu and Kauai trip. Enjoyed the cocktails, especially the pineapple mule in the copper pineapple. And the sweet and savory dessert was awesome.

    What an amazing experience. If you are looking for Asian cuisine in Ko’Olina, this is the place. Incredible ambience, drinks and food. They have a Keiki menu for diners with kids. Service is impeccable and synonymous with what you expect from four seasons brand. Our waiter Travis remembered the name of our daughter after one mention. These little details don’t go unnoticed and really do add that extra detail that sets the four seasons apart. Highly recommend to anybody looking for a memorable experience with great views, vibes and food.

    We enjoyed our son and daughter in law anniversary at Manalo Lounge. The staff were very personable and welcoming to us. It was nice of them to celebrate their anniversary with a very delicious desert. The service was great and appeared that the waiters appeared to be dedicated to our table; but not so. Also, the waiter gave us some education on the items on the menu. Great ambience at this restaurant.

    The ambiance is unmatched. Ocean view, open air dining at a luxury resort is phenomenal. The service was fantastic. The food prices were steep, as expected, but not as tasty as we expected. The FS Oahu sushi roll had a lackluster flavor; I mostly tasted the cucumber. The spicy hamachi roll was delicious. The bibimbap was really good too. Both of our drinks were good, not great. My pineapple mule tasted like a regular mule. The food was good, but I expected it to better from the price and other meals at FS Oahu.
