We had the best view of the sunset during our Christmas dinner. We were worried that 4:45 was too early, but it was perfect as we had time for drinks and apps. Our mains arrived just as the sun dipped below the horizon. Service was excellent and our experience made this holiday extra special. Thank you Hula Grill!

In my 26 years on-Island I have eaten at the Kahala for numerous Holiday Brunches. This year's brunch was more expansive than previous year. And, the food quality was exceptional.

The food, and service is excellent. My wife and I dined at Hoku's before and we decided to introduce them to the restaurant and their feedback was they haven't tasted food that great. Matter of fact one of our guest remarked that "...even the cruise ship don't have food this good." We'll be back.
