Our island is full of stories, none more inviting than the one told by the dish in front of you. Known for its modern take on Hawaiian comfort fare, Alaia embraces the community through its support of nearby Mauka Farms, telling their story through every plate, bite, and sip. Using unique, native produce such as apple bananas, Moloka'i sweet potatoes and tomatoes from Pele, a third generation farmer, our culinary team works in tune with the seasons. At Alaia we reap the bounty from the mauka to the makai, working with hand-selected fruits and vegetables from our farm to your table​. We let the quality and simplicity of the ingredients speak for themselves. And we love what they have to say.

    We went there as part of our 50th anniversary celebration on New Year’s Eve and everything was wonderful! The hostess wished us a happy anniversary and the server recognized it as well. The seating was beautiful overlooking the ocean at sunset. The food was delicious, the ambiance was great and the staff was attentive and friendly. Definitely recommend.

    We ordered 2 mahi specials and one beef tenderloin. Food was pretty mediocre and not cheap. Although servers were friendly, delivery to table was a shambles. One of our mains was missing and wrong main was brought to us instead of to the table beside us. Cheesecake for dessert was very good. We are guests at the hotel.

    We enjoyed an ocean view had the catch of the day - Mahi Mahi as well as the fresh made pasta with mushrooms and prawns. All was delicious. The children’s menu also had a fresh fish option. Our server was friendly and the entire experience was just lovely. Highly recommend.

    Bread was just okay. Beet salad was disappointing, consisted almost entirely of arugula - just a few chunks and shavings of beets. Had to ask if this was actually the beet salad!! Mahi mahi tasted nice, but wasn’t served warm. Husband enjoyed his mushroom pasta. Choices of wine by the glass weren’t especially impressive. Elderly mother-in-law initially sat with us and ordered wine, but almost immediately had to be taken to her room due to illness. Despite not touching her wine at all, it was not taken off our bill. Poor form.
