Beach - Lahaina

We love Hula Grill. Great for small plates or a big meal. Staff was fun with our large party of 10! Don't forget the Hula Pie

You just can't beat a restaurant with an ocean view. We stopped in for just cocktails and to share a dessert. The server was very nice but seemed a little overwhelmed with using technology for placing the order and having us pay our bill. We split the Hula Pie and still couldn't eat it all between us! It was very good but HUGE! The dessert was definitely the star of the show so I can't recall what cocktails we ordered but I do know they were good as well.

The location of this restaurant is great as it's in Whaler's Village and is also right by the water so you get a view. The tables are in a sand/gravel combo which makes it a bit more difficult to get to your table depending on your shoes. Once seated, our server came over to start with drink ordered. Our server did misunderstand what my friend's name was and he latched on to that and kept calling him the wrong name and telling stories about his friend with that name. Unfortunately, we couldn't get a word in to correct him and it just became and annoying part of brunch. Once it was time to order, I tried to order a salad and have the cilantro removed but they said it wasn't possible. Additionally some of the other menu items couldn't be adjusted either so I just settled on the fruit platter which was luckily fresh and had good presentation. Our group all thought the food was OK (definitely not great). All in all, it was nice to try once but I wouldn't plan to go back.

Great food. Tatiana the server was amazing. A+. Great place to visit and eat seafood.

My review is solely based on in my first experience trying The Original Hula Pie. My husband who vacationed here almost 20 years ago, could not stop talking about this amazing hula pie on the entire flight over. So obviously I had high expectations about this hula pie. First when we arrived there was already a long wait to get a table, so if you aren 't coming in for dinner the bar area is first come, first serve... which is what my husband and I did and therefore we were seated right away. After placing our order with the bartender my official Original Hula Pie experience was on its way. Within 5 minutes of ordering I had the Hula Pie in my possession. For those of you that don 't know about this slice of heaven, it 's basically ice cream nestled on what tasted like a homemade chocolate Oreo like crust with light whip cream all over. After my first bite, I immediately knew why my husband couldn 't stop talking about this Hula Pie. It 's that delicious, it 's so good we finished it within minutes!!! While I knew my blood sugar was high, for a moment I didn 't care because the hyperglycemia from the hula pie was worth every bite. You have to make it a point to come and try this Original Hula Pie when you are in the area. This is a staple for everyone to try and the restaurant is right on the water so a huge plus is the beachy ambiance that has a beautiful beach view!
