Osteria Mozza Lanai brings Nancy Silverton's Italian cooking to an open-air dining room and terrace facing the Pacific. The island enters the kitchen through lettuces from Sensei Farms, Hawaiian eggs in the pasta dough and local kiawe wood for the pizza oven. Breakfast is served here too. Reservations are required for dinner, and the restaurant also welcomes visitors who are not staying at the resort.
NOBU LANAI pairs Nobu Matsuhisa's Japanese cooking with a cliffside ocean setting. Sushi sits alongside hot dishes such as miso-marinated black cod and rock shrimp tempura. A separate teppanyaki experience brings the preparation close to the table. The restaurant has a children's menu as well as its main selection, and reservations are required. With much of the dining space open to the air, the setting retains the feel of the coast even during a more formal evening meal.
Malibu Farm is the poolside address for lunch, drawing on local and organic ingredients. The Break serves Hawaiian coffee and light breakfasts, then salads, sandwiches and house-made gelato; shared plates and cocktails carry it into the evening. A pool table and other table games give the lounge a social role beyond meals. Nobu Bar adds sake and Japanese bites, while in-room dining allows dinner on the lanai or a family meal away from the restaurants.
