Noelani's Island Grill

Recognized by the San Francisco Chronicle and Taste TV, this Peninsula venue leans into Hawaiian-Asian fusion with distinct neighborhood appeal. At the counter, owner and mixologist Noelani Maestrini pours unique Hawaiian drinks, while the kitchen dishes out items like kalua pork served in tacos or cabbage bowls alongside Shaka chicken. Colorful interiors, a sports-ready bar, and comfortable patio seating frame the space, where recorded island tunes and occasional live music keep the room lively without feeling rushed.
