    Alec was our server...best of the best! What a delightful time! Both my wife and I had the ribeye steaks and boy were they exceptional. They came out hot off the grill...medium rare...very good. We definitely will return! Great restaurant and server!

    Halibut and Rack of Lamb were very tasty. Our server Misty recommended both dishes and glad she did. They were both great. Also the wings appetizer were also very good.

    We have never been disappointed when eating at Kalani's. Has quickly become our favorite restaurant. Menu has so many options and everything I have tried has been amazing. Everyone we take there raves about the food and service. Our server this time was Missy , as busy as they were she was very attentive, knowledgeable about how the dishes are prepared and has a great personality. Drinks are excellent-favorite is the Espresso Martini!! Ordered too many deserts but somehow we managed to eat them all! Special thanks to the staff member that found my bracelet when cleaning up and chased us down!!

    My boyfriend and I had an early dinner at Kalani’s before a concert at Harrah’s on a Friday evening. We were greeted and seated promptly. The calamari appetizer was outstanding! The coating was light and the calamari wasn’t chewy. The clam chowder also was wonderful. My boyfriend had the shrimp scampi pasta, which was very good, but could’ve used a little more garlic in my opinion! I had the Lilikoi Caesar salad, which was wonderful! We were so full we did not have room for dessert which is very rare for us! We will definitely be returning!
