Oceanfront and elegant, the CanoeHouse rests on the gorgeous Kohala Coast, and from its tables provides breathtaking views of the crystal blue Pacific. Since it's on the west side of the Big Island, it enjoys one of the best sunset views too. Inviting you to enjoy a market fresh menu with fresh fish, seafood and locally grown vegetables, the eatery focuses on the bounty Hawaii has to offer.  With unrivaled sunsets, unique appetizers and signature martinis, the CanoeHouse is paddling the Big Island forward.

Located at the exquisite Mauna Lani Hotel along the Kohala Coast, home to the best dry and sunny white sand beaches on the island, CanoeHouse menu dubbed "from the farmer," including a roasted kabocha squash (a local island variety) soup, and a farmers market salad with feta cheese and Hawaiian goddess dressing, reflects the freshness of the island's crops. Butter leaf salad boasts Hawaii island goat cheese, peppercorn brittle, tomato, cucumber and a brown butter lilikoi vinaigrette. Main dishes include exotic Kona lobster, fresh island fish, local ribs and lamb chops, all with a Hawaiian flare and flavor.
