Sun Deck at the Lani Kai

This restaurant is located on the 6th floor of the Lani Kai Resort. Parking is not free. The parking attendant, an older bald, heavy set man, is pretty gruff and does not appear to like his job. He was yelling at people constantly. He even yelled at our Lyft driver for wanting to drop us off closer to the elevator as I have a disability. We took a Lyft over here. In order to get to the restaurant part, you need to go up an old elevator that holds 6 people, go through a loud, rowdy bar and then you get to the outdoor seating. Even though we called early in the morning to reserve the swinging table next to the view, and were promised it, they said they did not receive our reservation and it was made for another indoor restaurant up there! So then we had to speak to the manager, 2 servers and finally after waiting for other diners to leave, we were able to get the table we requested in the morning. We ordered Crab Cakes, which tasted mediocre and Clam Strips with fries. Nothing special.

What a great place to watch the world go bye and have a great bite to eat with a great strong drink at a fair price! Our server Megan was AMAZING! She greeted us with a smile and interacted with us throughout the evening! We asked if we can stay till they close and she didn't skip a beat and said of course I'll be happy to take care of you! Let me tell you she nailed it, very personal, happy to be at work considering it was a holiday! Can't wait to go back and I hope she's working, as we will be asking to sit in her section!!! See you all there!

We really enjoyed our dining experience. Take the elevator to the Top floor. We had reservations and were given a choice of the restaurant area or the bar area. We chose a high top next to the window to see the great view. Julie was s very friendly waitress. The food was very good and we would definitely go back again. Let the parking guy know you have dinner reservations and he will let you know where to park.
