    Ulu was perfect. Our server was very attentive and accurate with our meal. We had a table right next to the water so we were very pleased.

    We had the best focaccia and lobster ravioli. It was out of this world. Nick, the waiter took extra special care with my food allergies which made it an outstanding experience. We had a front table and watch a beautiful sunset. Highly recommend this restaurant and I’ve already booked two more reservations Aloha.

    Experience was great, food was delicious. Mahi was moist. Crab cake app and shrimp was the best. Table was in back by kitchen, not the nicest table. Made another reservation to go back.

    Great dinner tonight. We enjoyed the surf and turf and the bistro burger. My hubby thought his surf and turf was excellent. Best filet he has had on Maui and the lobster ravioli was delicious. Sauce and vegetables were delicious. My bistro burger had Gruyère. Geese, mushrooms and fresh greens on the burger. Delicious! Wonderful setting and great service. This was our third meal here this trip, and probably won’t be our last!

    We went for breakfast and we both had the Classic and a side order of wheat toast and a third egg. The sausage patties are cook with wonderful sear on them, the bacon has an amazing smoky flavor to it and our eggs were cooked over easy to perfection, plus we absolutely loved the smashed fried potatoes!
