Taking advantage of its prime waterfront location, Leilani's offers stunning views of the beach and ocean from its second-floor perch in Whaler’s Village, an upscale shopping center in the Kaanapali resort complex. Located on Maui’s northwest coast, the restaurant specializes in fresh seafood and steak. There is a casual grill on the ground-floor beach level, with tiki torches and umbrella-topped tables on an outdoor patio. The more formal, yet still Hawaii casual, dining room is upstairs.
