KŌNANE
From the Breakfast Buffet to on-the-go lunch specials to the most sophisticated dining events, look no further than Kōnane, a sophisticated 120-seat Chop House and Sushi Bar located on the top floor of the Clubhouse.
Our signature coastal cuisine features healthier offerings and lighter fare as well as traditional Chef specials. Whether you prefer to dine inside or out, there’s no need to request the best table here when every table overlooks the event lawn and offers the best ocean and sunset views on the island.
Kōnane is named after an ancient Hawaiian game resembling checkers, but requires the strategic skills of chess or Go. A petroglyph depicting a Kōnane board is one of the cultural sites along the Kohanaiki shoreline and became the inspiration for the name and logo of Kohanaiki’s signature restaurant.

Cuisine Philosophy
Start with a taste to suit every palate and every occasion, mix in daily menus showcasing curated ingredients sourced both locally and from around the world, and top it all off with stunning ocean views. That’s Executive Chef James Watts’ secret to creating his signature coastal cuisine found only at Kohanaiki.
At Kohanaiki, we strive to put pretty much anything and everything at your fingertips. Want a special something flown in overnight? Need a special ingredient for your vegan, gluten-free, dish? It’s probably already waiting for you, as our staff are highly sensitive to anticipating your needs.
From exquisite bites and sips at the Beach Bar or a casual dinner at the Beach Restaurant to the most sophisticated dining events at Kōnane, the Chophouse and Sushi Bar at the Clubhouse, you’ll discover tastes to suit every palate and daily menus that feature only the finest ingredients from around the world.
You’ll also discover inventive dishes expertly prepared using wholesome ingredients sourced right here on the island. The freshest fish are caught every day, just offshore in the deep waters of Ono Lane. Everything from ahi, ono, mahi mahi, opakapaka, and uku, to onaga, monchong, and opah are line-caught and delivered fresh on the day they are served. Mixed greens and coveted Kona coffee come from local upcountry growers, while our own on-property certified organic community farm yields a tremendous variety of just-picked fruits, vegetables, and herbs for use in Kohanaiki’s tempting dishes. Of course, the farm fare is always available to members to prepare gourmet meals at home.
No matter their origin, Kohanaiki’s ingredients translate quite deliciously into simply mouthwatering cuisine.
Our Cellar
To ensure the perfect pairings, we take our wine (and spirits) cellar very seriously and brew our own unique craft beers onsite.
The Clubhouse has reserved space for Members’ prized bottles, with wine storage lockers lining the hallways of the lower level. The Kohanaiki team has also assembled an expertly curated wine list with highly sought-after California, Oregon and Washington wines, plus 50 consecutive years of Château Mouton Rothschild in the Clubhouse wine room, where members can host private tastings among some of the most coveted wines in the world.
At Kohanaiki, we believe in a moving wine list and encourage our members to try different wines; we will open anything on the list and pour it by the glass.
