The Challenge at Manele Clubhouse

Now this, my Unilocal friends is paradise. Swanky lunch spot. Good food. Overlooking one of the most peaceful and gorgeous views. What else could you want?
The place. The restaurant itself is beautiful with attention to details with fabulous accents, from the legs of the tables to the handles on the silverware-​a keen eye was used to style this place.
The view. The perfectly manicured green grass contrasted with the deep blue ocean against the pale blue sky. If you can’t relax here, there is no hope. If you decide to look away from this pristine backdrop, the large screen TV in the bar area was showing the NFL game.
The food. The grub itself was decent. I tried the burger, quesadillas and summer roll. The roll had a sweet sauce that had a little bit of a kick. The quesadillas were packed with shrimp and also had a little bit of a kick. The burger was good but could have been a bit more juicy. My table mates reported the fish and chips was the best entrée on the menu.
The bathrooms were also very high end with real towels to dry your hands.
High end + breathtaking paradise (extra star) = Manele Clubhouse

If you ever visit Lāna’i or simply would like to celebrate an event w/​a fancy brunch or dinner, then I highly recommend eating here at the clubhouse which is now called Views at the Manele Golf Course. The food tends to run a bit pricey since this restaurant is at a Four Seasons hotel, however, the quality of the food is worth it.
Oh and I can’t forget, the view is beautiful! While eating, you are overlooking the ocean, where you can see the famous Sweetheart Rock.

Lovely place, great food and million dollar view! The shrimp quesadilla was delicious and also order the nachos with salsa, avocado that was very good.

Wonderful place! Great food, service and extremely friendly people!
My wife and I had a golf package to play here for 5 days during our stay at the Four Seasons. We ate here twice and we had had a great time! Food was good & million dollar view. We ordered Fish and Chips and Sashimi, and very good, very fresh.
We would definitely come back in the future! I really enjoyed the golf course 5 days in a row as well!

This is THE place to eat when in Lanai. Order the fish and chips and enjoy the breathtaking and romantic views.

Seriously… with only a handful of choices to eat on this little island, this could be the best! 1^st of all… the most stellar view ever! 2^nd… the staff are unbelievable! 3^rd… the food is unmatched in variety, in presentation, in taste… such a great mix!
Lobster salad, Shrimp BLT, oh… and make sure to do the home made potato chips with Maui Onion dip for apps. And save room for the over the top gourmet handmade ice cream sandwiches.
You’ll need your camera for the most picturesque spot. Watch the spinner dolphins and soak it up!
GOODstuff!

This is a great spot to have lunch! Beautiful views of Manele Bay. Outstanding staff and good food! Don’t rush your meal here– enjoy the view.

Lunch at the Manele Clubhouse is a must if you are staying at the Four Seasons. First, the view overlooking the ocean is stunning. The atmosphere is also extremely lovely and tranquil. Second, the food is outstanding.
We had the seafood salad and the prawn BLT. The seafood salad was refreshing and all of the seafood was super fresh and perfectly cooked. The dressing was also delicious. The prawn BLT was delectable and unique.
Also, the ice cream sandwiches are awesome. They are all great but the ginger snap is particularly good.

What a great lunch. We were just heading up to check out the view before we left and had to eat. The service was really helpful and friendly, weather (of course) beautiful and fare is delightful. We split a salad and entrée because we weren’t that hungry. Seriously, couldn’t resist! Had a couple of cocktails as well, but not too strong we couldn’t get back to the resort :)
If you happen to be on the wonderful island of Lanai, you should make the time to eat here. I know, it’s a golf clubhouse, right? But everything in Hawaii is (usually) better :) We happened to hit it on a very nice day at the end of lunch rush and our service was prompt and helpful. I hope to return to this island in this lifetime (or the next if I’m lucky ;) That time I will be sure to save room for a full meal!

A little bit off the beaten path but a quick shuttle ride over will have you from the Four Seasons driveway over to the Clubhouse in a few minutes. Perched perfectly above Manele Bay the view is breathtaking and the service is impeccably Four Seasons even though you are not officially at the resort.
We had the Shrimp Tempura skewers (three) to start, the sauce was light and fantastic, the shrimp were large and juicy. Perfect start! I ordered the Kona Fire Rock Ale (thanks Dan for the suggestion) and we had a seared ahi salad with lilikoi dressing and a Bulgogi sandwich. Both dishes were fantastic, my wife could not get enough of the salad dressing which was light, delicious and had the right amount of lilikoi flavor. My Bulgogi sandwich was amazing, loved the seasoning and it was perfectly cooked… highly recommend this dish. I didn’t see the Kalua Pork Sandwich on the menu that Dan suggested so I am assuming my Bulgogi rotated in.
If you need an escape from the Ocean Grill I would highly recommend coming by. I believe they are open from 11am — 3pm. We showed up at 2:30 and they seated us without any problems.

Surely one of the most picturesque lunch spots in Hawaii.
The clubhouse at The Challenge at Manele Clubhouse is beautiful, calming and quiet.
I had fish and chips while watching Dolphins play in the cove in front of Sweetheart Island.
Fish was perfectly cooked and served with a lemon caper tartar sauce and the best crispy fries i’ve had in a long time.
If you are on Lanai for Golf or just want a great meal come to The Challenge at Manele Clubhouse.

The clubhouse at the Challenge at Manele is another good option for lunch on Lanai. We stopped in after our round and had a great lunch and a few beers. My wife had the Ahi salad. I had the kalua pork sandwich with stone ground mustard. I liked that a lot and would recommend that to anyone that likes good BBQ. It was pretty tasty. We enjoyed a few of the Kona Fire Rock Ales with lunch, which ended up being our local beer of choice for the trip. A great meal with excellent views of the golf course, hotel and bay.
