    Having reservations, we got seated right away. The only issue we had was it took awhile for our food to come. The waiter acknowledged it and was very apologetic. He even compt one of alcoholic drinks we had ordered

    We had a wonderful Valentine’s Day. We sat on the rooftop and it was beautiful and had a slight breeze which kept it really comfortable. We had a fantastic server who stayed on top of everything. We ordered the Lobster Spring Rolls and Blue Crab cakes for appetizers and they were delicious! Then for dinner we both had Crab Bisque and the Filet Dinner. Outstanding. My steak was ever so slightly overcooked, but the flavor and tenderness were superb! We ordered the Pineapple Crème Brûlée and Key Lime Pie to go. Both were excellent, but beware…that Key Lime is RICH! I totally recommend this place for date nights, family dinner and just a nice place to relax and have a great meal.

    Our waitress and other servers were excellent. Very helpful explaining the menu and attentive through our meal. The food was great, starting with the grilled Brussel sprouts. We all had really creative fish dishes as entrees. I had a seafood paella which was different and delicious. Wednesday was half price wine day. 50% off a Neyers $80 bottle was the topper !

    This is not our first visit to the Hula Grill and will not be the last. This visit was for my husbands 60th birthday. I wish we were seated at the rail but table was just fine. The service and food were both perfect. The new bartender had trouble making a bay breeze, kept forgetting the pineapple, but they corrected it fast and without attitudes :-) grateful. I appreciated that the music playing was Hawaiian. We come to Hawaii almost yearly and Hawaiian music is what we want to hear when having a meal. So thank you Hula Grill for a great meal and great atmosphere. Was wonderful. Oh FISH “ALL” was cooked to perfection!
