For an Unforgettable Evening: The Height of Resort Luxury

When you're ready for a truly special, once-in-a-lifetime meal, the restaurants at the Four Seasons Resort Lānaʻi at Manele Bay are in a class of their own. Imagine open-air dining rooms, the gentle sound of the waves, tiki torches flickering against a starry sky, and service that anticipates your every need. This is where you go to celebrate.

Nobu Lānaʻi

Perched on a cliff overlooking the stunning Hulopoʻe Bay, Nobu Lānaʻi is more than a meal; it's an event. World-renowned Chef Nobu Matsuhisa's signature Japanese-Peruvian fusion cuisine is executed flawlessly in this breathtaking open-air setting. For a truly unique experience, you can book the intimate teppanyaki dinner, where a personal chef prepares a multi-course tasting menu right before your eyes. The ambiance is sophisticated yet relaxed, a perfect match for the innovative and beautiful dishes.

The restaurant itself is architectural poetry. The design incorporates natural materials like lava rock and koa wood, creating spaces that feel both elegant and deeply connected to the island. Floor-to-ceiling windows can be opened completely, allowing the ocean breeze to flow through the dining room. When the sun sets, the sky explodes in colors that seem almost too vibrant to be real, painting the horizon in shades of orange, pink, and purple that reflect off the water below.

ONE FORTY American Steak, Hawaiian Seafood

The name ONE FORTY is a clever nod to both Lānaʻi's 140-square-mile area and what many chefs consider the perfect internal temperature for a medium-rare steak. This elegant, open-air restaurant specializes in exactly what its name promises: the highest quality prime and wagyu steaks and incredibly fresh, locally sourced Hawaiian seafood, all served with an unbeatable ocean view. Serving both a lavish breakfast and a sophisticated dinner, it's a cornerstone of the resort's dining experience.

The restaurant's design pays homage to the island's ranching history while maintaining modern luxury. Leather banquettes, warm wood tones, and soft lighting create an atmosphere that's both masculine and welcoming. The exhibition kitchen allows you to watch the chefs at work, adding theater to your dining experience. The wine cellar, visible through glass walls, houses one of Hawaii's most impressive collections of vintages.

Osteria Mozza Residency

A true treat for food lovers, this restaurant is a residency from the legendary Los Angeles Chef Nancy Silverton. Located in the same beautiful space that hosts breakfast, it transforms at night into a romantic Italian haven with stunning ocean views. The menu blends traditional, soulful Italian cuisine with the freshest seasonal ingredients from our islands, featuring beloved classics from her famed restaurants Osteria Mozza, Pizzeria Mozza, and chi SPACCA.

Chef Silverton's approach to Italian cooking is both reverent and innovative. She respects traditional techniques while incorporating the incredible local ingredients available on Lānaʻi. The pasta is made fresh daily, the mozzarella is crafted by hand, and the vegetables often come from the resort's own gardens. The wine list focuses heavily on Italian selections, with many bottles personally chosen by Chef Silverton during her travels through Italy.

Malibu Farm Restaurant & Bar

For a taste of California cool with a Hawaiian soul, Malibu Farm is the spot. Perched right above the sparkling waters of Hulopoʻe Bay, this poolside restaurant has a glamorous yet laid-back vibe, focusing on fresh, local, and organic farm-to-table cuisine. It's the perfect place for a sun-drenched lunch or a breezy dinner, often accompanied by the sound of live music in the evenings.

The restaurant's philosophy centers around sustainability and health without sacrificing flavor. Many ingredients are grown on-site or sourced from local farmers. The menu changes seasonally to reflect what's available and at its peak freshness. The setting is stunning—you're literally dining above the bay, with views of the water and the dramatic coastline stretching in both directions.
