   My only complaint was that the Big Island Seafood on Ice was overpriced. If we had known how much it was, we would not have ordered it. However, it was delicious but not worth the price we paid. We will return but will not order that.

    This is a place you must visit when on the Big Island. We have gone to a few upscale restaurants, but this one so far has been the best. The food is fantastic; the flavors of every dish are perfectly balanced, the portions are reasonable, and the presentation is...well you can see from the photos. Our view was beautiful. There were several times we just sat in silence just taking in the sunset. I wish the service was better. We came as soon as the restaurant opened, so it wasn't busy yet. We were greeted within a reasonable amount of time, but empty dishes were piled up on our table after the appetizers were finished and it took an extremely long time to receive our entrees: filet (medium temp) and the crab noodles. They gave us a complimentary chocolate souffle because we were celebrating my husband's birthday. He liked that a lot and I ended up getting a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was a little overpriced at $14 for one small scoop, but it was the best vanilla ice cream I've ever had in my life. We also ended up having some children sat right next to us, which were pretty well-mannered until the youngest one got fussy and would randomly wail. The parents were good about acknowledging this and would try and distract the child, but it was still disruptive nonetheless. We ordered A LOT of food, two cocktails, a carafe of sake, and a dessert; our bill ended up being $350. Our service and disrupted ambiance may or may not be something you experience if you visit this restaurant, but the food is a must have try.

    While the dishes we had, Misoyake Hamachi and Crab Noodles, were delightful the menu seemed very limited which did not provide many options. These two dishes were delicious and expertly prepared. It would have been nice to see a pork preparation and a tempura shellfish to round out the menu. The dessert menu looked good but with the exception of the soufflés much of it seemed to be frozen or chilled. I would definitely recommend Ulu for a special night out, but more variety would make this restaurant spectacular!

    Gorgeous location we watched the sunset. Hamachi and tuna roll for appetizers where delicious and fresh. For dinner we split the crab noodles and the sashimi platter. The food did not disappoint. Landon was our server he and everyone at the restaurant were very friendly. Dessert was there lava cake and was also amazing. My only complaint is that the drinks were a little on the pricey side.

    Wonderful food and amazing service! My husband and I had an oceanfront table to enjoy our dinner and watch the sunset. It was beyond romantic and a very special night. Our server, Carola, was a true professional. Her recommendations were on point and we enjoyed the chef’s sashimi sampler, the kanpache, Landmark Chardonnay and a lovely semifreddo for dessert. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant. (Please note, it is expensive but worth the cost.)

    Food was over priced - of course the setting is lovely but many hotels in the area have oceanside dining and the dinners there (Canoe House and Browns) are actual dinners with local seasonal foods whereas Ulu seemed more pretentious than delicious.

    What can I say? We ate so close to the water, hear and see the waves, sunset. Service is exceptional. Food is best on the island. Expensive, but worth it. This is the best to eat on the island, I am sure of it. On most of the island, service and food have spiraled downhill since the pandemic, but Ulu has come back better than ever.

    Very classy Polynesian feel. Staff is very professional and courteous. Food presentation, temperature and taste was what you expect from a Four Seasons restaurant, excellent. Very nice wine selection and the Soufflé for desert was the perfect bookend. The outdoor seating is separated from the beach with a little used pathway. A perfect setting at sunset. Well done ULU!

    My wife and I live on the Big Island full-time. We frequent all of the island's fine dining restaurants, located both in and out of the resorts. Ulu's offers some of the island's best food and service. The location is oceanfront and is truly magnificent. The prices are very expensive, but appropriate considering its location. Be careful when ordering alcoholic beverages because these prices can be extremely high.
