   We’ve been dining at Kilani’s for 20 years and it has always been excellent.

   A thoroughly enjoyable dining experience. Attentive staff and delicious food. The Chilean Sea Bass and the Island Wings were top notch!

   We absolutely love dining at Kalani's. The service is great and the food amazing. The fried ahi appetizer is so delicious. Ask for extra sauce...it is thick, sweet and tasty. The crabcakes are the best is all of Tahoe! The sashimi hamachi from the raw menu is perfect for a meal or appetizer to share. My husband's go to is the Kalani Roll when we aren't having the sea scallops or chilean sea bass. We typically share the Kalani's spin on Caesar Salad. It is large and could be a meal in itself with the addition of blackened shrimp (may favorite). We try to frequent South Lake Tahoe at least 4 times per year. Kalani's is a must for us.

   My party of three all had fish dishes. I had the medley, my wife the Salmon and our guest had the fresh Mahi Mahi! All were excellent. Before dinner I had a house Martini...shaken...3 olives at their bar...best ever! Dining at Kalani's is a real dining experience!

   This restaurant has consistently gotten better over the years. We were seated on time, had a very pleasant waitress and had an outstanding meal for a reasonable price. Doesn't get any better than that. And the location is right in the heart of Heavenly Village. Will come here on every visit to South Shore.

    My sushi roll was excellent. My entree, the mixed seafood grill, was good quality but very bland. My husband got a Caesar salad which was good. He ordered a medium rare filet and was brought a ribeye. He only likes filet, so we politely sent it back, no big deal, things happen. The server apologized, we waited for his replacement meal, in good spirits. His filet arrived fully raw with only seared edges. We didn’t want to send it back again, so we asked for the check and a box. We went home and cooked his raw steak, at which point it was quite decent, but also pretty bland. Restaurant comped our drinks without us asking or complaining (a margarita which I liked and drank, and an Irish coffee which neither my husband nor I could drink because it tasted awful, we did not mention it to our server) and brought a dessert to go. Overall, the service was good, ambiance was nice, but I wouldn’t return for the food quality vs price. I really liked the sushi though.
