    What more could you want from an elegant beachside restaurant. Everything matched or surpassed my hopes. If you get the chance ask for Lillybeth, she is wonderful. Thank you Ulu!

    We had the perfect table closest to ocean with a wonderful view. The presentation of food was superb. Preston our waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu. Crab noodles, black pepper steak and bao were amazing and creative.
