Bali Hai offers stunning views and a lively atmosphere! I loved the Mai Tai and scallops; the berry cheesecake was a delightful finish. Our server Isaac was attentive, making the birthday celebration unforgettable. Perfect spot for a memorable meal with family or friends... Don’t miss it!

Bali Hai Restaurant is a delightful gem on Shelter Island! 🌴 The Polynesian décor creates a vibrant atmosphere, and the views of the San Diego skyline are nothing short of breathtaking - it's a perfect backdrop for any meal.

I tried the Bali Hai Mai Tai, which was refreshing and expertly crafted, along with the scallops that were incredibly tender. Don't skip dessert! The berry cheesecake was rich yet balanced, making it a delightful ending to the meal.

Isaac, our server, was attentive and made our experience even better. If you’re in the area, definitely stop by for a fantastic meal in a stunning setting... ❤️
