    Excellent food, service and great table too. Actually we have never had a bad meal at Hula Grill. The fish and preparation is delicious. Hula Pie is a must. Can be easily shared by 3-4 people.

    We went for our engagement dinner, we were pretty nervous since it was our first time visiting the restaurant but as soon as we got there our waiter *ANDREW*!!!!! Made us feel very comfortable, you would think he went to the university of servers! From knowledge of food to manners he had it all! We went for sunset and the view was just straight out of a movie.The food was 10/10 we got the petite platter with lobster, double shrimp, and crab legs. Also the lobster mash potatoes,spam fried rice and duck fat French fries. By the end of the meal we were full but we wish we could fit more food! Shoutout to Andrew for the complementary dessert and drinks for our engagement, will definitely revisit and ask for the same server!
