    We’ve eaten here several times while staying at the Westin. It’s very good but inconsistent.

    Excellent food. We enjoyed the coconut shrimp and macadamia nut crusted MahiMahi. Both we beautifully prepared and presented.

    Unfortunately they didn't have the patio open they said due to the wind. All other restaurants on the beach had their patios open. At first they sat us way in the back of the restaurant all by ourselves. We felt like they sat us in the kids' section. We asked to be moved up front just a little bit, which helped somewhat. I wouldn't have picked this restaurant if I knew we would have been way inside. The food was extremely expensive for mediocre food. We made due with appetizers. The entree were overpriced. I probably wouldn't go back.

    Friendly greeting, noise level was challenging as we are older. We had a lovely server When she knew we couldn’t hear her she made a point to go to each couple separately to explain the specials. Mahalo Jordyn such a beautiful smile too. The Mahi was delicious, scallops too. We will be back.

    Dining room crowded, loud, stuffy and glaring with setting sun. Setting does exceptional food and service huge disfavor. Spectacular fresh mahi-mahi encrusted in macadamia nuts, perfectly seared scallops, great house brut rose and kind knowledgeable waiter. Setting however is stressful: crowded, stuffy not so tranquil for a $200 dinner.

    Small menu with limited choices. I felt our server was bugged that we didn’t order drinks but then again Ulu doesn’t have a blender. I would rate 6/10.
