    The Ahi Tuna steak was absolutely perfect. We started with the waygu appetizer and it was the best selection of meat and presentation was top shelf. Can’t say enough about how perfect Ulu was this night.

    Ulu was such a disappointment this year. This restaurant has beautiful ambiance but the food has gone down hill. We went 2x last year because the sushi was outstanding. This year while we were there we learned they no longer serve much sushi- a bunch of basic rolls and poke made at tableside . The poke was tough and not the melt in your mouth type of sushi. The fish was ok in preparation and was the same for each fish. The soufle was great. The meal was very expensive for minimal quality. We canceled our second reservation. We looked at Noie but the reviews were not good and if it is the same fish as Ulu it just wasn’t great. Also the service was not special at all.

    The atmosphere and food and service were all impeccable! Could not have asked for a more perfect setting! It was definitely pricey! But I cannot complain when everything else was so perfect!
