Billed as the best dining on the island, we visited Hula Shores twice; once for drinks and returned for dinner. The island's reef makes the ocean glassy so there is not the constant sea spray and wind that is sometimes associated with ocean front dining.Reservations are recommended in the high season but visiting in September, we never had a problem getting oceanfront tables to admire the sunset painting the island of Lana'i unreal colors.
Nightly entertainment is a nice touch and features talented local performers performing popular and original Hawaiian songs. One night we were treated to a song called 'Holo Holo Bucky' that paid tribute to the local FedEx driver. The next visit we were treated to an excellent rendition of 'Moloka'i', originally performed by Malani Bilyeu.
Prices are very reasonable, the waves gently lap 10 feet from your table and the service is friendly. This is the perfect place to dine on Moloka'i and I wish I was there at this moment sipping a tropical drink while watching the sun slip behind the coconut trees swaying in the evening breeze.
