The food and environment were great, a bit on the pricier side, but guess this is normal for Hawaii. Wanna give a big shout-out to our server Nathan who accomandated my boyfriend's food allergies so well! Not only did he take the effort to communicate multiple rounds with the kitchen to make sure the food is allergen-free, give recommendations, he also went above-and-beyond and offered us both regular & gluten free bread, and helped divide the steak for us to share. Nathan was super friendly and gave us tips of travelling in Hawaii too. Thank you Nathan for your amazing service! On allergies: many GF options or food that can be modified for be GF. Gluten & soy free options are a bit more challenging

Staff was helpful and menu was clearly listed for gluten free items that didn’t include cross contamination issues.

GLUTEN FREE REVEIW - Celiac Disease Farm to table restaurant with excellent food and service. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and provided me with plenty of information on what I could and couldn’t eat. She even informed me that they have a shared fryer but an accommodation could be made by not frying something or omitting it completely if it came on an entree I chose. When she brought out my husband’s gluten containing food she would remind me that his is unsafe to eat so no sharing. A second server brought out our entree and they knew mine was gluten free specifically compared to my husbands. It is pricy (and there aren’t a ton of GF options) but well worth it if it is in your budget for the experience.

We tried FORC before and hated it but figured we’d give it another chance. This time it was more mixed. We loved the poke, it was poisson cru so the flavor was unique and refreshing. My miso butterfish was cooked perfectly but it was pretty bland. The sides were a plain boiled potato and some rock hard squash. The menu says this dish is gluten free but you have to specifically ask for it to be prepared that way. This is frustrating because if I hadn’t asked about the tempura flakes I wouldn’t have known and would have gotten sick. Maybe the regular version is more flavorful and they just omitted the sauces/spices. It’s a shame because the butterfish was so tender so the dish could have been amazing. My husband liked his beef rib lau lau but half of it was fat and it was giving more of an irish beef stew vibe than lau lau. Service was definitely lacking because they were understaffed so everything took forever. Not the server’s fault but annoying nonetheless. Idk if I’d give it another go, maybe for drinks and apps but the pricing is similar to Merriman’s and their food quality is more reliable.

I come to Halani every time I’m in Hawaii. Their whole Kona kanpachi is one of my favorite things I’ve ever eaten. This restaurant is so considerate of dietary restrictions. Their whole menu can be made gluten free, and they have a separate menu for vegans with great options. Their cocktails are also delicious, and the vibe is great. Our server Angie was so sweet and attentive to our party’s dietary restrictions. We loved the live musician and hula dancer as well!
