    Hualani's not only had a beautiful atmosphere but also the food was outstanding. We had five starters and all were incredible but if I had to say, which was best, it was the lobster tempura and the scallops. The Wagyu steak and lobster was delicious followed by a warm chocolate molten cake with peppermint ice cream.  We are absolutely returning here. Tristan was an attentive server as well.

    I took my small family of 3 here for Christmas Eve dinner. The food was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced all things considered. Everything tastes fresh and professionally prepared. Service was a little delayed due to the holiday, but we were overall very pleased with our dinner. Amazing food, beautiful view, and a really welcoming ambiance. We will happily return should the occasion ever arise. The Hula Pie is literally to die for and makes a great addition to any dish you order. All in all, a great experience for me and my family!
