Amazing ocean view, live music mouth watering food. We started with lava flows and fluffy focaccia bread in their famous dipping sauce. Crab filled wontons were a great compliment. The entrees were prepared perfectly macadamia crusted mahi mahi, panko sesame ahi and ginger pesto opah on noodles. We topped the dinner and our celebration with hula pie. Alex was an excellent server making our celebration so wonderful. He was helpful and made sure all our meal was perfect. Thanks Hila Grill - we’ll be back!
