Good service and great ambiance. Poor presentation of steak kabob. 4 little pieces with nothing else like tomatoes, peppers,or another garnishment. Pricey.

Cori, our server, was superb. My wife wasn't feeling well, and she was so kind in offering her some hot water with lemon as soon as we arrived. You just knew that she understood great service. My wife had a Ceasar salad and added chicken for protein, and I had the lamb chops. $71 was pretty spendy for the 3 chops, but they were delicious. I added the mushrooms as a side order and I would recommend them.

For this level of dining I expected more, even a little more. Second visit because group insisted. Less than a year ago I was underwhelmed by food and service and did not want to return. Thought maybe we hit a bad night. Food was served room temperature, not hot. The charred cauliflower and rigatoni came out when meal for 7 almost done without any apologies. The Waygu beef was overcooked and poorly flavored. Pasta dish overcooked. Not once was our water glasses filled and since food was over salted I was sooo thirsty. Waitress never came by to see if our meal was adequate.

We dined at Halani last night for Valentine’s Day and it was AMAZING. Our server was Ali(?) she’s y’all, blonde and has tattoos and she was INCREDIBLE. The bread balloon with the dip trio was out of this world, my kebabs were cooked perfectly and my husband’s flank wagyu steak was 10/10. I’ve been to this restaurant for the all you can eat breakfast brunch during the day but at night is a totally different vibe and just stunning. Everyone was kind and helpful from the valet to the servers and busters.
