Best Dining Bets in Lanai

Lanai City Grille (tel. 808/565-7212; https://lanaicitybarandgrille.com): Celebrated Maui chef Bev Gannon (Haliimaile General Store, Joe's) redesigned the menu in this cute Lanai eatery, where the decor consists of pine-paneled walls, chintz curtains, and a fireplace. The menu sticks to whatever is in season and fresh that day, from the fish and seafood to the rotisserie chicken.

Pele's Other Garden (tel. 808/565-9628; www.pelesothergarden.com): You don't have to spend a fortune at the high-priced eateries in the two resorts on Lanai: This charming bistro in the heart of Lanai City has a full-scale New York deli (yummy pizzas), and you can also get box lunches and picnic baskets to go. Dinner is served on china on cloth-covered tables -- a real dining room!
