Hula Grill exceeded every expectation. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Every dish tasted thoughtful and well-balanced. The cocktails were just as impressive: refreshing, well-crafted, and the perfect complement to the meal. Our server, Geoff, was fantastic. He was attentive, friendly, and made the entire experience feel welcoming without ever being intrusive. His recommendations were spot on and added to an already great evening. The views were spectacular and truly elevated the experience. Between the incredible food, outstanding service, and beautiful setting, this was a five-star night from start to finish. Highly recommend.

A great place, located above Dukes. A great view of the ocean, nice modern decor with a Hawaiian theme. We had dinner and the food and drinks were all fantastic. We will definitely return.

We had a reservation and we were seated quickly on a Saturday. The service is absolutely phenomenal, everyone’s so kind and attentive. The calamari is amazingly flavoured and textured. The mahi-mahi is so mouthwatering!! We are extremely impressed by the fish dishes and the cocktails – the cocktails all taste delicious (we tried 3 of them). We were also celebrating a birthday and their cake is amazing. Not to mention we had a breath taking beach view. Best experience from start to finish.

Absolutely loved the Hula Pie at Hula Grill! The fudge was absolutely amazing – so rich and chocolatey. The crunch of the macadamia nuts really added that perfect texture and flavor contrast. Even the base of the pie was delicious, just like the rest of it. Our waiter was really nice and hooked us up with an extra big slice, which made the whole experience even better. If you’re in Waikiki Beach, this dessert is a must-try! Highly recommend.

If you want to eat somewhere with a beautiful view of the ocean this is the place! If you are lucky enough to get a table along the balcony they are the best. Everything we’ve gotten here has been delicious. Most recently we went for breakfast on Christmas day and it was wonderful. I got my favorite Bloody Mary served in a super cute tiki glass and the chef special waffles which were blueberry haupia flavored. My husband got their Macadamia Nut Banana Pancakes. Everything was great! We come back every time we are in waikiki.

Hulu Grill is slightly hard to locate, its on floor L. Which is between LL and 1. The view is worth finding tho. The food was good. We had the Korean Wings and the Mahi Tacos. Have to get a dessert!!! I would recommend the Hulu Pie or the pineapple upside down cake. The alcoholic drinks were a bit small for the price but the flavor of the spiked Lemonade was soo good!

Hula Grill is located in the Outrigger above Duke’s. Reservations recommended. The shrimp carbonara was really great. We also got the swordfish. They have several kids options (grilled cheese and grilled chicken breast was what our kids ate). They also have freshly squeezed guava juice and lemonade.

We really had the best time here! We had walked up and down the street past the location many times and Gigi, the host, always looked so happy and approachable so we stopped to talk to her and she was so engaging and lovely. We were tired as we had just arrived and were checking out the area and she was really welcoming. Hula Grill is above Dukes and is a fabulous overlook of Waikīkī Beach with a more chilled atmosphere than Dukes. We dined twice for dinner. The drinks and food were both excellent and perfectly timed, our waitresses were both fun and engaging. The salads were fresh, the ribs were just so delicious and crispy we got them both times, with mash instead of rice per our waitress’ recommendation, and boy was she right. We tried the pie too which was huge! Overall a wonderful experience watching the sun go down over Waikīkī beach.!!

Kudos to Jorge, who was amazing and made our experience an absolute delight. The local drinks were delicious and our meal did not disappoint. Celebrated our anniversary dinner and so thankful that we were presented with a complementary dessert that hit the spot. I recommend going with the daily dinner specials that Hula Grill offers (I believe it differs each day). I went with the fried fish plate and my wife had the two-fish plate.

We arrived for dinner without a reservation and opted to wait for a table rather than sit at the bar. We waited just under 20 minutes and were seated on the balcony with an enjoyable breeze, view of the ocean, and music from the downstairs restaurant, Duke’s. Our dining experience was more delightful thanks to our wonderful server, Ocean, she was attentive and intentional. Looking back on our trip, this was the most enjoyable meal we had on Oahu. Highly recommend!!
