              Excellent service and food. I had the grand experience for $205 and loved it. If you don’t want to spend that much money get the salmon. Wife ordered it and it was incredible, best salmon dish I’ve ever had. The dishes they used for every course were incredible as well.

              I’ve never been there and was not sure what to pick as far as seating so I chose the Veranda thinking it was out on a patio type setting. Instead it was like a living room, sitting on either a small couch or chairs and using a small table which you couldn’t sit up at. Near the drive way. We asked for inside seats and the hostess said it was taken, so we asked to come back later she said it’s busier later but said she will check. She came back and offered us a high top table which was better. So I did note that we were celebrating our anniversary and was not happy with the first seating and not real crazy being on the high top but we did take it. Just that for the price the seating is not price worthy. Our server was very attentive and nice.

              We tried the restaurant week menu for $80. Beef Tenderloin was just ok - not great. Grouper was good. Ok food for a high price and not really worth it.

              Hoku’s is elegant but not stuffy. The views of ocean & grounds surrounding this property are everything you would expect in a perfect surrounding of Hawaii. The food selection is varied from standard brunch items to stepped-up fancy. Service is patient, friendly & professional - impeccable in every way. We especially appreciated our server, Taryn! The overall experience was impressive.
