    This is a tough review to write but I feel like I should share, even though we probably didn't have the "full" experience. My husband and I had walked around downtown Half Moon Bay and saw the sign for a little beer garden, and decided to walk over. The owner was outside grilling (Superbowl Sunday) and having a good ol' time chatting with another customer. We sat down and he immediately turned the heater on for us and asked what we'd like to order. We had 3 beers between the two of us, and it was $40. Way more than we expected, but honestly we had such a fun time and he gave us a treat of some of the chicken he was grilling. Super friendly guy and staff, fun little random beer garden, definitely not what I would usually look for since they were limited on drink options, too, but we really enjoyed talking with him. As a side note - I saw a few comments about not having restrooms available for customers... I did ask and they directed me inside to use the main restroom, so no issue on my end for that piece.

    Nice little family business and yes it is authentic. My daughter got the pineapple shaved ice and I got the shrimp salad. They were both tasty, and service was amazing.

    5 stars for the Dole whip. Knocking down a star for the uncomfortable Gen Z stare experience.

    Great spot to grab a bite in Half Moon Bay! Relaxing atmosphere and really nice, warm hospitality. The food was like I was back on Kauai (plate lunch grilled chicken, Mac salad, spam musubi, shave ice and we got the dole whip, which is a must get). Will go here every time I'm in HMB.

    Favorite spot in HMB to visit. The bbq chicken, shrimp, and tri tip are on point! The sauce Nano uses on the chicken is top notch. The vibe, the atmosphere, the friendly service, and the tasty food have made us add Nano's into our rotation, we will keep coming back! Thank you!

    This is our must stop every time we go to HMB. The food is amazing!! Beer always cold and the service is great. Love how it feels like friends in the backyard hanging out.

    I anticipated this would happen, but dining at Noelani's makes me miss Hawaii so much. I truly felt…read morelike I was in Hawaii and not the Bay Area once we settled down and ate. FOOD: 9/10 DRINKS: 9/10 SERVICE: 9/10 AMBIANCE: 10/10 What we ordered: Island Sliders (Spam, Kalua Pork, Katsu) Fish Tacos Pork Belly and Pineapple Bites Lilikoi (Passionfruit) Margarita Mai Tai FOOD: 9/10 The food is flavorful and yummy, as well as served hot. Of all the things we ordered, I think my favorite is the Katsu Sliders, which shocked me because I am not a fan of katsu lmao as it is normally underwhelming, respectfully. DRINKS: 9/10 The drinks are yummy, and you can definitely taste the alcohol in the best way possible. Strong, but not to the point where it overpowers the different flavors within the drink. The garnishments for the drinks are the cutest! SERVICE: 9/10 The staff are very friendly, attentive, and served the food at a decent time, considering how packed they were getting. AMBIANCE: 10/10 My absolute favorite. Everywhere you turn, there is a piece of Hawaii in every aspect of this restaurant in unique and eye-catching ways. The live music is my favorite and very good! I love all the island reggae hits sung as well as covers of different popular hits. I would say the ambiance and live music are what make me feel like I am in Hawaii for sure. You definitely feel the Aloha spirit out here!!!

    Came here on a Tuesday evening around 7:30 PM to celebrate my sister's birthday. The food was okay…read more(definitely not authentic), the drinks were good, and everything came out fairly quickly. Unfortunately, the service completely overshadowed what could have been an decent experience. Our server, Maria, was inattentive and came across as rude throughout the night. After taking our order, we barely saw her. When I politely asked for a water cup, understanding that she was busy, her response was simply, "I know," in a dismissive tone. Before dinner, we had asked the restaurant to refrigerate our birthday cake. By 8:30 PM, we had finished eating and I kindly asked for it to be brought out. My sister had also received a birthday dessert promotion directly from the restaurant's website. When we asked about it, Maria told us they "don't do that anymore." If that's the case, it should probably be removed from the website to avoid misleading customers. When Maria eventually returned to clear a few dishes, I politely reminded her about the cake since we were trying to finish up before closing and be respectful of the restaurant's time. Her response was, "I know, can I do this first?" Again, it felt unnecessarily rude. Considering she hadn't checked on our table in over an hour, I simply wanted to make sure everything was moving along so we can leave on time and allow for the employees to close up and leave on time. It also took an unusually long time to receive our final bill. Ironically, the only time Maria seemed attentive was when it was time to pay. The Hawaiian food, drinks, and overall atmosphere were decent, but the poor service made what should have been a special birthday celebration disappointing. Based on this experience, probably will not return to this establishment. Plenty of negative reviews regarding service, believe it!
