Service was rude, unprofessional, and unwelcoming. They gave us uncooked mozzarella sticks, Ravioli was served super messy, and the smoothie tasted like sewage water. read more

Very cute spot with plenty of street parking. Our pizzas had generous toppings and a nice crispy crust. Sandwiches were hearty and thick for the Rueben and the Italian. Service was fast and friendly with reasonable pricing. Would definitely recommend to others and come back again. Ambiance is nice and chill too. read more

We came here on a weekday night and there were a few other staff here. My partner ordered the catch of the day and I ordered the vegetarian pizza. My partner said his fish plate was good but it wasn't the best fish he'd had on the island. My vegetarian pizza was fine but my main disappointment was that I had ordered the vegetarian pizza specifically saying like 2-3 times that I didn't want mushrooms. When I got the pizza, it was filled with mushrooms. I'm not sure what happened but the staff member didn't seem to care even after she saw all of the picked off mushrooms. We thought this place was fine, but weren't super impressed with our experience. There were a lot of people here who live here, including a volunteer. It was an interesting experience. read more

Meh........I wouldn't get again lol. Try this out if you want pretty basic pizza and pasta.

We checked their hours and it said they closed at 8. We arrived at 7:30 and the open sign was still lit. So we went inside and the woman behind the counter told us "sorry we are closed at 7:30 today". So I asked if we could still just get a few beers on tap and she looked at me with a nasty look and tone and said "no, we are closed. We are mopping up the kitchen and leaving for the evening. We would like to take your money since we've only had one customer today". No apologies, no "hey there is a liquor store around the corner" nothing but contempt for us. The poor attitude alone would make me never want to go there again. read more

Great food and excellent service at Pele's Other Garden! A nice casual, friendly atmosphere in one of the few restaurants that you will find in Lana'i City. They have plenty of deli items for lunch, and for dinner they have various entrees, appetizers, organic salads, pastas and pizza. I ordered the veggie pizza and it was ready in about 20 minutes. So good and delicious! You can also book a reservation online at their website. read more

Great food, great prices, and wonderful service! The road pizza is amaze! Will definitely be back!

Great place for a pizza! We ordered the meatlover's pizza. Service was fast! Pizza was thin style with a light sauce topped with tons of pepperoni, Italian sausage, etc. crust was nice and light and crunchy. My wife also ordered their bruschetta and said that was the best she's had. I'd highly recommend stopping here for a pizza, bruschetta, and a beer! read more

Really delicious lunch. I had the BLTA wrap. So so good! They chop the bacon up small so it's easy to eat and enjoy. Their fries are amazing too. My husband had the Italian sub and my son had a quesadilla. Great little local spot that really is the epitome of Hawaiian atmosphere. read more

Fabulous place to unwind, have a drink , and enjoy both the aloha and wonderful food. We had the veggie pizza, and they happily accommodated our request to add artichoke hearts to the pie. The owner is amazingly efficient, and embodies aloha. Please please make sure you stop by this establishment if you're on the island of lanai. Good food and good people... Can't go wrong. read more

The pasta was cooked perfectly! Barb, the owner was fabulous. She helped guide me to a wine of my liking. We had a great local experience. I highly recommend it ! read more

We dined at Peles Other Garden today and it was a wonderful place to enjoy lunch. Both of our dishes, the French Dip and Meat Lover's Pizza were excellent. The owner was friendly and the service fast. I highly recommend this for a quick lunch or dinner when visiting Lana'i City. read more

We stayed at a top rated 5 star hotel on Lanai, but had to make a run for some "real food." We took a chance and wow. The resort couldn't hold a candle to the food and friendship we enjoyed here. Barbara has not only nailed chicken parmigiana (coming from a true Italian) but she is a delightful hostess. Highly recommend (when you've had enough of the five star truffles and drizzles). read more

I tried ordering from there not knowing that their kitchen closed at 7:30. So I called and when I did a lady answered and said "sure if you want to pick it up tomorrow" That part itself wasn't rude it was the tone of voice and aggression when she said that made me mad. read more

Yummy food and good service. There aren't a lot of options on Lana'i but this one was tasty. The gluten free pizza was good and so was the salad. We came for lunch too and had a sandwich and a tuna salad - tuna sandwich on lettuce to make it gluten free. The staff is friendly and helpful and they know what to offer someone who needs gf food. read more

Small place with pretty decent food. Overpriced food and the service was really slow. If you are in Lanai City there are other options but again, the food was decent so if you are not in a hurry, stop in. read more

We arrived at dinner. Were seated. Another groups order was taken before ours despite that they arrived after us. When the waitress approached we ordered drinks and asked how long for pizza. She said 20mims. About 25mins later, no drinks, no pizza. She came out and abruptly announced that we would get our pizza before our drinks. And it would be quite some time for either. Before we could even make a facial expression, she asked , so do u want to cancel your drinks and pizza? Cuz I am busy with other things to do. Whoa! Ya, we left. read more

SO YUM! I was visiting Lana'i and hubby told me that THIS is the place for pizza and wings. He was so right! We arrived around 6:15 on a Wednesday night and there was plenty of parking outside and seating inside. We ordered hot wings and a meat lovers pizza. I got a Sprite and hubby couldn't decide on his beer. The owner Mark told him to try a new pineapple lager that he just got in and if he didn't like it, my husband wouldn't have to pay for it. He tried it and loved it. I just thought it was supercool of the owner to offer. The decor is SO COOL. License plates from all over the world. Literally. Some really fantastic vintage beauties. So fun to look at them all. Food: The wings. Oh myyy.. I would go all the way back over just for the wings. They are so delicious. You may have to get a basket for yourself. You've been warned. Pizza: I love pizza and I can be picky about it. I really liked this pizza. The crust had a nice crunch to it and the sauce was sweet and spicy. Lots of toppings and cheese. Oh, and HUGE. We ate 1/2 for dinner and 1/2 for lunch the next day. Sadly, I got NO photos of my food. We were just so hungry! Really delicious food, great staff and cool place to eat. It's a definite stop if you are on Lanai. read more

I went to Lana'i with the goal of eating at all the local restaurants during my 3 days on the island. I ended up only eating at two of the local eateries and I went to Pele's Other Garden THREE times. It was a combination of their selection, quality and friendliness that kept me coming back. From their sandwiches at lunch time to their pastas and pizzas at night, I enjoyed everything I ate there. My best meal there last month started with the Bruschetta and Caesar salad, followed by the amazing Toad Pizza, and ending with the Creme Brulee Cheesecake. Make sure to share the pizzas if you get the bigger size! read more

We stayed on the island of Lanai for 11 days in April. I apologize ahead if the information is not up to date due to my delayed review. Pele's small veggie pizza $12.00 and garden salad $9.00 were good for dinner. The owner never smiles, and was having a glass of wine outside. read more

If you're not local (not hard to tell as there are only approximately 3100 residents), not the proper hue, or both, don't be surprised if you're service is very sub par or even totally non-existent. I recorded this woman on my cell phone (the owner?) chatting and taking her time ringing up friends, right after she told us she'd "be right with us." We came in looking for a quick, cold drink and we were initially acknowledged at 8:30. At 8:50 she decided to grace us with her presence to ask "how can I help you?" "What time do you close" I asked. "9pm" "Well I suppose, there isn't much you can help with at this time is there?" read more

Amazing lunch! They have a great selection of foods here. We got the French dip and the quesadilla. Prices are a little high, but with how good everything was, and how much food it was I can understand that. Overall I would come again, but maybe split a plate read more

Ordered a Bruschetta, can't remember what the other dish was called - bread slices topped with shrimp and sour cream w/ capers & a Vegetarian Pizza on Gluten free crust. They were all very tasty and I would recommend Peles Other Garden anytime to anyone. Excellent service. Thank you, Happy Lana'i Resident read more

What an excellent dinner spot in Lanai City. Great atmosphere and very reasonable prices as compared to any Four Seasons on the island. Barb the owner is fantastic and so fun to chat with. Recommend Pele's as a definite must to eat there while on Lanai! read more

As soon as we walked in we were greeted. Friendly customer service for this small establishment. They were only a few people here, but we were taken care of right away. There is outside seating, indoor seating, and indoor seating with bar tables and TVs. The drinks we ordered were delicious!! I ordered a ginger margarita. Really good. Our food came out hot and prompt. The quesadilla was full of flavor and we ordered the buffalo wings with sauce on the side and they came out perfect. For a small island, this is one of the few spots that has a full bar and serves great food. This seems to be the spot where the locals hang out too...so you know it's a good spot. Highly recommended. read more

On my recent visit to Lanai I made an effort to check out all of the local eateries in Lanai City. Let's be honest, there aren't that many. Of the casual local joints that surround Dole Park, Pele's was my favorite. I felt this restaurant had the most comfortable seating and atmosphere and was the cleanest. I appreciate the various beers they have on tap and I thought the pizza was tasty, although a little greasier than I'd like. Service was a little slow, but I just chalk that up to "Island Time" so it wasn't an issue for me. Pele's like everything else on Lanai, was pricey for what it is is, but again, I think that is just part of being on a small island in the middle of the pacific. Pele's was able to accomodate our party of eight and I had a great view - a view of the desserts in the case. We didn't sample the cheesecake or the chocholate cake but both looked yummy. In summary, if you are looking for casual fare in Lanai City, skip all the rest and hit Pele's. I know I wish I did! read more

Good Lunch alternative to the local Hotel food. Relaxed Atmosphere and friendly owners. Everything on the Menu is pretty good. Enjoy read more

I love Pele's. The calamari is the best anywhere! Their vegetarian pizza is fantastic! Barb, the owner, is awesome! She does a really great job of getting stuff in making sure the food is always fresh and fantastic! There's a great selection of pizzas, pastas, and salads! read more

Great veggie pizza. I added feta cheese and it was amazing. The complaints that it's slow service is ridiculous. It takes time to craft perfection. This is Hawaii. Get used to the laid back pace. Friendly staff & nice window breeze and seats to people-watch. I recommend the Wailua Wheat on draft by Kona Brewing Co if you like lilikoi and like light beer. read more

Peles Other Garden - Delis Near Me - Lanai City, Hawaii

9/15/2011: I waited to write this review because I was waiting for my credit card dispute against Pele's Other Garden to be resolved before I rated the restaurant . It was resolved yesterday, and as you may have guessed from my star rating, it was in my favor. The owners of Pele's Other Garden served us for dinner. The man was pleasant and talked motorcycles with us after seeing our 4 year old playing with a toy Ducati. The woman was nice but never got us anything we asked for. It became the joke of the week. Whenever we asked for something, she would cheerfully chirp, "Certainly!" then walk away and forget all about it. For the rest of the trip, "certainly" meant "you're never gonna get it sucka". We ordered a chicken parmesan pasta (tasted terrible), a veggie pizza (passable), bruschetta (meh) and he had a glass of pinot grigio. I found the food bland and overpriced, although overpriced seems to be the norm for Lana'i. I paid with a credit card and left the customer copy of the credit card receipt on the table because I had memorized the amount. Imagine my surprise when I received my credit card statement the following month and found that my new total was $80, $15 more than I had authorized and signed for. My bill had been around $50 and I had left them a generous tip--the total I had written on the credit card slip was $65. I was so pissed that they tried this dirty trick with me, knowing that I had left the receipt there and counting on me not to remember what I had paid for on vacation. Shame on them, trying to make a few extra bucks in this sleazy way. We're going back to Lana'i this weekend and we'll be sure to avoid this joint when we're in town. read more

The pizza and wings were not very good. The fries were terrible. The price of beer is good, but our bill was we were overcharged so we notified the waitress, then the manager came out and told us that he corrected part of it, but would not give us the happy hour rate on the last beers because the order was given to him too late. We let him know that we ordered before 6:30 and he started to clench his fists and argue. The waitress was super slow at taking orders and the beer took about 20 minutes to arrive each time, which was fine with us. But the attitude of the manager was awful. Skip this place. read more

Frozen food, cannned sauces and outrageous prices. The help is very friendly, the owner was kind of a jerk, and he's the reason we won't be back. You can get away with a lot on a small island with few other options. Here's a word, try some aloha spirit, take it in trade for the prices you charge. Coming to Lanai? Consider bringing your own food or just stick to Blue Ginger or Canoes. read more

Peles Other Garden - Delis Near Me - Lanai City, Hawaii

OK, to start with, my travel partner and I really are beer snobs, so it's typical for us to try and find restaurants which offer a decent selection of taps or bottled beer. It's a bonus if the restaurant offers microbrews and/or local offerings. So we were delighted to see 12 taps at Pele's when we stopped in for a reconnaissance mission to scope out a place for dinner and drinks. We asked the owner about the taps and complimented him on the number of taps and quality selection of beer. We told him we'd return for dinner later that evening. He asked if we had reservations and we said no. "Do we need reservations?" Yes, it's best. We were a little perplexed since this is such a small island and community but we happily agreed to get out name on the list for 7pm. Secondly, I'd like to say that we both really wanted to like this restaurant. Honestly. It was right off the main square in Lanai City, very clean restaurant, lots of beer taps for to appease us and the Italian based menu had a decent amount of choices. So we get there at 7 promptly and were seated near the bar area but unfortunately that is where our dining experience mostly took a dive downhill. My partner had the bowtie pasta in a creamy pesto sauce with prosciutto ham and butterflied garlic shrimp. I ordered the sausage pizza and asked if jalapeno's could be added (us Texans love our jalapenos). The waitress said 'sure, no problem!' There was only one waitress and she was waiting on about 5 tables total, including ours. Our drinks took a very long time to come and each time between drinks we were both sitting there with empty glasses for 5 minutes or more, so her attentiveness was not there. The food. Oh the food. My partners pasta really wasn't tasty, it was, at the best 'ok', but for $19, we expected much more. The sauce wasn't very flavorful and the 4 shrimp on top appeared to be boiled and just laid on top. (that's the way it looked to us) He did eat it but we were both ravenous from the 8 hour hike we did earlier with a minimal lunch. My pizza was not at all good. If that wasn't a Cisco frozen pizza or a box pizza, then honestly I don't know any other way to describe it. The "jalapeno' peppers, weren't there, but instead what appeared to be sliced banana peppers were in place of it. When I questioned the waitress, she said 'oh they must have been out of them'. I nicely emphasized that banana peppers are no substitute for jalapeno peppers. She said she'd remove the pepper charge from the ticket. (Darn right!) The crust of the pizza was crispy like a thick saltine cracker and the sauce looked like it definitely was mass produced (from a can?). The sausage were small dime sized sausage balls, not sliced sausage like I had hoped. So I asked for the standard condiments with pizza (cheese and pepper flakes to sprinkle on the pizza) and they never arrived. I should mention that a small family of 3 came in and sat at a table nearby and ordered the large pizza. They ate most of it but we both saw the same look we had. It was obvious to us they had the same feeling about the pizza we did, just from their expressions and what was left on the plate. OK. So the beer was excellent! How can you mess up beer from a tap? Beer prices were actually decent too for Hawaii (5$ each pint) but the food and slow service was so bad that, on the next two nights we ate at other local restaurants and went down to the lodge to have some decent bottled beer. One other thing that my partner and I noticed. The owner definitely seemed to gravitate to attending (himself) to what appeared to be the locals while the waitress attended to what were obviously tourists. We also noticed that many tables were open during out entire meal, which made us wonder if the owner's strategy was to get us to commit to dinner by saying we needed a reservation. I can't prove that but it did make us wonder. I won't say that you shouldn't eat there but just be forewarned and pay attention to the general consensus of other reviewers. I wish we had done so and saved $30 in bad food. One more thing... there was an $8 charge for an additional plate request, so if you wanted to split a $16 pasta order, it just became $24 very quickly. That's sad. read more

Surprise, surprise, I went back. I was on Lana'i for mouflon season and we were looking for lunch and drinks. Of course, Pele's is the only game in town. I had prepped everyone with my past experience here, but I don't know if they quite believed me. We walk in, and there is Mr. Nice Guy. I let the three ladies of the party lead in, let's see what happens! Sure enough little comment after little, wise comment.. The humor was so dry, one spark and we'd have been goners. But this time I did see, it was in fact, humor and not.. pure prickism. I really didn't want to admit it, but I actually found a few things he said to be funny. So here it goes: I believe my first impressions were false. The New York style sandwiches were good, lots of meat, good bread, generous portions. Nothing mind blowing, but satisfying, yes. The onion rings are big and beautiful. Just how I like.. my onion rings. There were fewer number of beers on tap than earlier in the year, they no longer had Maui Brewing Co. which was a big disappointment. So for the hot afternoon, it was Stella's all around the table. Anyways, the bottom line is, this spot is "a-ok" with me. My apologies to those I may have steered away with my dramatic (though maybe justified) first review. It's a chill place for lunch and drinks, I see myself visiting Pele's again when I return to beautiful Lana'i. read more

Food was slow but good. Really didn't want to touch the furniture or much of anything cuz of obvious crud. Floor is in dire need of cleaning. Whole place needs a serious grooming from top to bottom, inside and out. Please get in there and bring up the quality of the room to match the food. read more
