Elevated Dining High Above Lanai City

Perched overlooking the verdant landscapes of Lanai, Views offers an experience that feels disconnected from the bustle of typical island tourism. As you walk in, the first thing that hits you is the sheer scale of the horizon—the dining room is designed with expansive glass walls that turn the daily sunset into a live performance. It’s the kind of place that transitions from a breezy, sun-drenched lunch spot to a moody, intimate dinner setting as the trade winds pick up.

A Menu Rooted in Local Bounty

The culinary team emphasizes fresh, island-sourced ingredients, moving beyond standard fare to highlight the unique agriculture of Hawaii. You will find signature preparations of local fish that arrive with the salt-kissed scent of the Pacific still clinging to the presentation. The flavors are bright, often featuring house-made citrus reductions and herbs harvested nearby. For those looking for heartier portions, the menu features classic cuts of meat prepared with modern, refined techniques that balance heavy flavors with light, fresh garnishes.

The Lanai City Atmosphere

This isn't your typical white-tablecloth, stiff-service establishment. The energy here is relaxed, welcoming locals and travelers alike. Expect the occasional hum of lively conversation and the rhythmic clinking of cutlery, which adds to the grounded, authentic feel of the space. Be mindful that during the dinner rush, the acoustics can get a bit spirited; it’s a vibrant spot, not a library. Parking can occasionally be a bit tight near the entrance, but the short walk through the crisp Lanai air serves as a perfect precursor to a cocktail on the terrace. Whether you are celebrating a milestone or simply winding down after a trek through the island’s highlands, Views provides a visual and sensory escape that anchors you firmly in the spirit of the archipelago.

Beautiful views, great menu options, friendly service, right off the 18th green (a great way to end a round of golf).

This is one of the most beautiful and peaceful patios I’ve ever had the pleasure of dining on. The food is fresh and delicious, and the staff is incredibly kind. The views alone make you want to never finish your meal. It is the perfect lunch spot on a sunny day.

The most beautiful course in Hawaii. Very well-tended greens, pristine. Beautiful views from each hole. The staff is very friendly and professional. Great amenities (snacks and beverages-cocktails included-are complimentary); clean restrooms/locker rooms; great practice facilities (putting teen and driving range). A golfer’s dream! Each hole is so secluded that you feel as though you’re the only one there. Multiple tee box locations to choose from.

The golf course on Lanai is honestly one of the best courses I’ve ever played. The views alone feel surreal, but the entire experience was elevated by the Four Seasons team. After our round, we had lunch overlooking the ocean, and I’m still thinking about their lobster salad with mango and avocado. Fresh, light, and probably one of the best resort lunches I’ve had.

This is simply unique and spectacular. The course is your own with 30 total rounds a day. The clubhouse may have the best views of any in the world.

Unbelievable course - views layout and great service…! Easily see why Manele is Hawaii’s #1 course - great playability for various levels, nice layout and the view and conditions are pristine. Plenty of beautiful courses in Hawaii.. but the service here is also great from the moment you arrive and at the snack stand. Special shout out to Pete in the pro shop. Mgmt and leadership at this course is top notch

I played Manele Golf Course while staying at the Four Seasons, with the hotel staff helping me book a tee time. I played as a single, and although I’ve seen many ocean courses, there haven’t been many as beautiful as this one. It truly felt like the course was surrounded by the ocean.

Great view, and the fish and chips were the best one I’ve ever had. Also there was a cute bird on our table eating our pretzel sticks
