I had an exceptional dinner experience at Hualani’s last night, and it all started with the fantastic service. Our waiter, who’s name has totally slipped my mind but was from Colorado, was an absolute highlight of the evening. From the moment we were seated, he greeted us with a warm smile and took the time to explain the menu in detail, offering thoughtful suggestions based on our preferences. Not only was he attentive throughout the meal, but he also made us feel truly cared for without being overbearing. He checked in just the right amount, ensuring our drinks were refilled and that we were enjoying our food, all while maintaining a friendly and genuine demeanor. He even went the extra mile to accommodate a last-minute dietary request, which we greatly appreciated. The food itself was stellar, but it was the personal touch and thoughtful service that made the night truly memorable. His recommendations were spot-on, and he made sure the entire experience flowed seamlessly. It’s rare to come across such a combination of great food and outstanding service, but this dinner was a perfect example of both. Highly recommend this place, and if you're lucky enough to have him serve you, you're in for a real treat!

Excellent greeters are friendly & courteous. The waiter, Todd, very attentive and excellent customer satisfaction. The atmosphere was perfect with live Hawaiian music. Originally, ordered prime rib medium rare, only medium was being served. Filet was the only alternative. I accepted. Overall, restaurant is highly recommended.

Went to celebrate a birthday and we’re not disappointed. Prime rib was very tasty. Mashed potatoes had an odd flavor, not what we are used too. We started with the salad bar, with many tasty items to choose from so didn’t miss eating the mashed potatoes. And can’t go wrong with the hula pie for dessert. The wait and service teams were friendly and attentive. Was a great experience.

Excellent experience! Staff top notch! Eating at one of the outside tables was exceptional!

My wife found a this restaurant’s listing when looking at the area on the internet. The menu was attractive and the location was ideal. It did not disappoint. Very happy we tried the Japanese Grandma’s Cafe.
