Noelani's Island Grill

My favorite place for celebrations on the peninsula. Great food, fun atmosphere, friendly servers and live music. The drinks are kicking too. I always feel like I’m on vacation when I come here. Favorite choices are Mama’s shrimp, poke sampler, the Mai tai, birthday sparklers!, and pork anything. Gluten free and vegetarian options. Mahalo!

Every time I want to feel like I'm in Hawaii, I go to Noelani's. They have Hawaiian music quietly playing in the background and when the weather is nice, the french doors open up to let the breeze flow in. Both the lanai in the front and back are must do's. Food is amazing. They use Mochiko flour on some items so you can have breaded gluten-free chicken...like Shaka Chicken which is to die-for. Love their spam musubi, tsunami fries, and I especially love their cocktails. My daughter introduced this place to me several years ago: celebrated her 18th bday here, catered her graduation party, and ate here with her many times (B,L,D). The owner and staff are very freindly. You can tell they enjoy working here and the top-notch service level shows!
