What a great night. The staff was fantastic and very friendly. We did the Chef’s Tasting Menu. We opted for the potsticker surf & turf and Kiawe roasted vegetables dip. For dinner my wife had the macadamia nut crusted fish and really liked it. I had the Hawaiian salt rub steak and it was cooked perfectly. We also had the original hula pie which is macadamia nut ice cream. This location offers great views and a decent sunset. If you’re thinking of eating here just do it, you’ll be glad you did.

This is a very nice upscale restaurant, at least at dinnertime. One of the best meals we had on Maui. I took the photos of our meals after we started eating (and swapped sides), so they don't do the meals justice. I'm knocking a star off Atmosphere because it was very noisy--we had a hard time having a conversation. At these prices I expect a somewhat quieter atmosphere where we can talk comfortably. Note that reservations for dinner are essential.

Located right on the beach, this is the perfect spot for a sunset dinner. We walked in and were told there was a 30 minute wait, but time flew by because the vibe was so great. We took some pictures on the sand and were just about to explore Whalers Village when boom our table was ready! It’s a high energy place with fantastic live music and dance performances.
The food was fine. The flatbread was a highlight. However the Hula Pie was a no for me, it was a bit too sugary for my taste and I realized I'm not a big fan of macadamia nuts

This dinner was delicious. We started off with the pork potstickers, then for the main dish we got the macadamia nut crusted fish and it was our favorite dish! At the end of dinner we got the delicious Hula Pie!!😁

We really enjoyed our dinner at Hula Grill in Kāʻanapali. It’s a large, lively restaurant with a great atmosphere, and the service was truly outstanding. Our waitress, Astrid, was amazing—so friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm. She really made the experience memorable.
We started with a couple of appetizers and drinks, but they were just okay. The cocktails were nothing special. The bread service was a big miss for us- it wasn’t even served warm, just room temperature. The ceviche was fine but not the best we had on the island.
The entrées, however, completely won us over. We ordered the wood-fired local fish (mahi mahi or ono- can’t quite remember!) and it was phenomenal. The romesco it came with was delicious. The filet was also excellent- perfectly cooked and full of flavor.
To top it all off, Astrid surprised us with their famous Hula Pie for dessert, which was such a sweet and thoughtful touch.
Overall, despite a slow start with the appetizers, the exceptional service and amazing entrées made this a fantastic meal. Highly recommend!
