Everything was excellent but I would like to caution diners that there are paintings that depict some partial nudity. For a place that caters also to children, I feel that this must be appropriately addressed, as my young son was intently staring at one such piece of art. Otherwise, the food, drinks, and service were excellent! We were well attended, and food both arrived quickly and cooked very well! I am a little confused by the Johnny Cakes, though - they are advertised as Jamaican but look nothing like any I've ever seen.

Hula's Island Grill is a great place with tasty food that has a little twist. Kona wings: 8.5/10 They were amazing! Moist, flavorful, with a great spicy sauce and dip (maybe habanero?). Jerk grilled chicken 8/10 They said it was spicy, but it wasn’t really. The seasoning was delicious, the chicken was juicy with a nice grilled crust, and the coleslaw was a perfect side.

The burgers were shockingly underwhelming for the price. I left still hungry. Small patty, weird bun, and the sides... the sides. Why skimp on the lowest cost items like fried potatoes or coleslaw? Especially when the sandwich is small. The drinks were better than the food. The saving grace.

Absolutely amazing. We were during the happy hour, ordered chicken wings and Hawaiian ceviche. Inexpensive and tastes so good. The drinks were great. And we had the Kings crab curry, it was fantastic! Highly recommend. I'm visiting, but if I lived here, I would eat here everyday!

What a treat! Hands down our favorite Santa Cruz restaurant. We love a great Polynesian/Tiki restaurant, but this is tied for best overall, anywhere, in our opinion. This restaurant delivers on location, atmosphere, music, menu, quality of food and it's in the Surf Capitol of the USA. Every dish was perfectly prepared. The menu and nightly features were so interesting, we made hard choices. If this restaurant were nearby, I'd return daily until I tried the whole menu. Seriously, it's probably a great thing for us that this place is over 1000 miles away, and yet we can't wait to try it again.
