    Service is always impeccable. Very well presented. Bluefin poke and pork bao buns were amazing. Onaga was soft, flaky and delicious. However, sorely disappointed in the ahi Wellington. Beautifully presented tho lacked in flavor even with the lau leaf and paté. Creative but fell short. Everything else was great, atmosphere, music etc. With this new menu, I don’t believe I’ll be back and rather opt for either Canoehouse or Moana for the pricing.

    We were celebrating my husband’s bday and were seated at a fab oceanfront table. We shared pupus, salad and entree - all of quality, presentation and deliciousness. Our server Sharon was exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The entire staff was very welcoming and attentive from beginning to end of our experience. Mahalo Ulu!

    Have been here many times. Our favorite on the Big Island. Its right on the beach with tables right up to the ocean where you can hear the waves while you are having dinner.

    We had an amazing time here with our children. This was the last meal of a 7 days stay on the Big Island, and it was my favorite meal. The food was excellent, the view was beautiful, and the service was the best we had anywhere. They were particularly attentive to our younger son's many food allergies. Our server overheard us discussing that it was our anniversary and sent over a wonderful dessert without any initiation on our party. Overall, I wish this hadn't been our last day on the island because I would have wanted to come back a second time. Highly recommend!

    We had the most wonderful time with the most incredible views, and our server, Tic was so much fun! The young ladies at the front desk need to check their attitudes when checking us in. Other than that one snafu, it was wonderful!

    Ulu at the Four Seasons is pure magic. Set right on the ocean, the view is breathtaking — waves crashing just steps away and a sunset that felt unreal. The food was a standout, blending local Hawaiian flavors with creative, refined touches. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The service was exactly what you'd expect from the Four Seasons: gracious, attentive, and seamless.

    Normally outstanding, we were disappointed with the “Fish of the day” special. The bloodline was left in for us to remove ourselves, and while not a big deal, it’s something you would not have to expect to do at a restaurant of this stature. Service was impeccable, but we would need to rethink the menu next time around.
