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.

My husband and I came to Mahina and Sun's last year four times, with and without other guests. We love the local vibe (dog friendly), the decor, the live music, intimate feel and the food! We shared the Ahi spread for an app. Very nice portion. Delicious. I had the risotto with roasted mushrooms and fennel sausage. Not a huge meat eater so the small pieces of sausage kept the risotto very delicate. Wine list is limited, however, the champagne choice was very good and my one class of red was actually excellent. (I work at a winery in Napa.) Of course we'll see you again this trip!

I’m admittedly, somewhat of a steak snob and I’m very hard to please. The steak at Stripsteak however was wonderful - perfectly seasoned and cooked, and the beef quality was incredible. The A5 wagyu was a little rich for me personally, but the Washugyu Ribeye was perfection. We also loved the ahi crudo roll appetizers- a must get. The hamachi and ahi tacos were also pretty good. Service was very good and professional. However, one comment I would make is that I ordered an expensive glass of Opus One to accompany dinner and they should have brought the bottle to the table and poured it in front of me. However, that was not rhetorical case. For high-end wine and alcohol, it should be presented in the bottle.
