Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Kaanapali

We made 5:45 reservations for Valentine’s Day dinner. Our table wasn’t ready for 25 minutes after, but it was worth the wait. The menu was limited, but my wife and I found an entree’s that was delicious. My wife had ahi tuna and I had chicken. Both meals were prepared perfectly and the food was great. Our server, Astrid, was cordial, prompt, attentive, and competent. We tipped generously, as she earned it. Very nice evening.

We had a Valentines dinner and it was wonderful. I had the yellow fin tuna feature and my wife had the fresh catch mahi mahi. Both were perfectly cooked and paired with delicious sides. We also enjoyed the coconut shrimp appetizer which was totally unique, not fried like most. Exceptional. We rarely order dessert, however, our waiter offered their peppered pineapple ring in a sweet sauce that balances the fresh ground pepper, topped with yummy vanilla bean ice cream. Totally worth it.

On Valentine’s Day, my wife and I had a late lunch at Duke’s. We were seated on the lower deck closest to the beach with a wonderful view. Our server, Keeley, did a superb job and delivered our salads, a mango BBQ chicken and a shrimp & crab. Both were excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and will go back again.

Our fresh fish choices were excellent. I had the parm. Crusted mahimahi with Avery light lemon butter caper sauce with mashed potatoes and heirloom colored carrots! Hubby had the herb roasted Ali.. spelling, very light swordfish with a sensational sauce, green beans and fingerling potatoes. He said his was outstanding! The Hula pie was great too! Wonderful dinner!

The fork tender short ribs were delicious and our waiter was attentive.
