Totally ignored upon arrival. Two of us walked around entire restaurant and no one acknowledged us. We left as we felt very unwelcome.

My mahi mahi was overcooked & dry- should have sent it back, but everyone else said their food was very good. Band was playing outside when we first arrived - was so loud we had to yell to talk. But that ended after 20 min

Booked for Christmas dinner. Nowhere does it say that this is 21 and older. Wouldn’t serve us, which was ok as the place smelled like stale old cigarettes.

We went to Hulaʻs for lunch to celebrate my friendʻs graduation. We read the menu the day before and decided to try three interesting dishes. We announced to the server that we were prepared to "pig out" and ordered all three to share. The tastes were fabulous, the happy clientele close to us added to the ambiance. We were not able to finish all the food. It was nicely packed up for us to enjoy at dinner that night at home.

Lee was the absolute best! She was so great and told us about the cocktails you can get in a pitcher that are only $13 on sundays (and $15 every other day of the week) great deal, great service and great atmosphere!
