NOBU LANAI at Four Seasons Resort Lanai brings world-renowned Chef Nobu Matsuhisa's innovative Japanese cuisine to an open-air setting overlooking Hulopoe Bay, a designated Marine Life Conservation District known for spinner dolphins and sea turtles. Executive Chef Christopher 'Tex' Texeira showcases signature dishes including Black Cod Miso, Yellowtail Jalapeño with yuzu soy, Rock Shrimp Tempura and Crispy Mushroom Salad with Truffle Goma Dressing. Fresh fish is flown in daily from Japan, while locally sourced ingredients celebrate Lanai's flavors. Guests can enjoy the 15-course Teppanyaki dinner experience or savor A5 Wagyu prepared on volcanic hot rock, all with views toward iconic Pu'u Pehe.
Went there to celebrate my birthday and the whole experience was very disappointing.
The server was not attentive, had to wait for half an hour waiting for a dessert menu and got neglected all the time.
Left there feeling really bad for my birthday and had to go back and talked to their manager about this situation. Hopefully they will do better in the future.
And a friendly reminder that I would say tipping is optional and a good restaurant should be earning respect rather than expecting people to like them just for the ambience. The view is nice tho.
Btw the food is just your average Nobu, food and service in nobu by Sensei is so much better.

Let this be my favourite restaurant until the day I die, the pre drinks for table, the selection of foods, the service were what everyone deserves when treating themselves. A table of 12 handled and serviced impeccably. The waiter controlled the food, the portions and was glad to split food, all had a taste of something cold/hot and then a
Main. If you have a treat day coming, book, sit and be taken to heaven.

Nobu has long been one of my favorite restaurant concepts because of its consistency, ingredient quality, and service. In fact, much of the menu remains recognizable from when I helped open the Miami Beach location at The Shore Club around 2000.
Months before arriving, I made two Nobu reservations—one for two guests(June 13th) and another for six (June15th). I received confirmation emails for both, and the reservations were even mentioned during check-in.
Our trip was to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary.
When my wife and I arrived for our Saturday evening reservation, the restaurant couldn't find it. The hostess assured us she could still accommodate us, which unfortunately meant we would be seated at what was clearly the only remaining table: a cramped L-shaped two-top immediately beside a family with two very young children.
The children—both barefoot—played on the chairs, ran around the dining room, made dinosaur noises, and watched cartoons on a tablet throughout dinner. None of that was the children's fault; they were simply being kids. However, neither the parents nor the restaurant staff made any effort to keep the activity from affecting the surrounding tables.
We skipped dessert—not because of the food, but because we simply wanted to leave. The next morning, I cancelled our reservation for 6 people for Monday through the front desk, the ambassador cancelled in while I stood in front of her.
On Monday I was contacted by Nobu to ask if I was coming to my reservation and that our table was ready. I called down and told them it had been cancelled.
One additional observation: the hotel GM and F&B should spend an hour having a meeting at that particular L-shaped two-top. The table base leaves virtually no room for your legs, making an already cramped table surprisingly uncomfortable.

I recently visited [Restaurant Name] and unfortunately, my experience was not as great as I had hoped. The attentiveness of the staff was lacking, which made the dining experience feel a bit rushed and unwelcoming. The food was average; while it was edible, it didn't leave a lasting impression or satisfy my expectations. The overall performance of the employees also felt just average. There seemed to be a lack of enthusiasm or engagement, which contributed to the overall atmosphere of the restaurant. I hope they can improve in these areas in the future.
