“The service was amazing. Gave a great explanation of the menu, super friendly, and welcoming. The atmosphere is wonderful. The music is great decor is vibrant and lively. The food, oh the food. I fantasize about that burger, I dream about that burger, every waking moment of my life is spent mourning that burger. I would take a trip to Hawaii for the burger itself.

“My wife and I celebrated our 20th Anniversary on the Big Island and wanted to experience the best the island had to offer. Ulu Ocean Grille did not disappoint! Here is a summary of our dinner: We thoroughly enjoyed the Ebi Tempura roll - (it was good enough that we have encouraged several family members to join us at Ulu this evening for sushi and dinner) For our entrées we had the Mahi Mahi and the Spicy Crab Noodles. Both were perfectly prepared, very flavorful, and the presentation was perfect. For dessert, we couldn't decide between the chocolate or vanilla (the flavor of the evening) soufflé, so we got one of each (you only celebrate 20 years once!). Again, perfectly prepared and presented and was thoroughly enjoyed. And I can't overstate how excellent the service was. The staff went out of their way to make the experience memorable. It was the best dining experience I have ever had and I don't expect to top it soon, unless they outdo themselves when we return this evening. Ulu & Four Seasons Resort - well done!”

“We had a fantastic dinner, with outstanding service by Precious! She was a delight to talk with and paid very close attention to us throughout the evening. The octopus for an appetizer was so very delicious and our meals of Sea Bass and pasta with truffles and mushrooms were amazing! The atmosphere is beautiful with an ocean view and live music in the background. A bit on the pricy side, but if looking to splurge, a wonderful place for dinner!”

“Love it there! Our waitress was great and food was great except my steak came cold and they took it back and put it back on grill and it was then only warm Too much to pay to not have warm steak! Love the bread balloon”

“Listen, when I tell you this is one of my favorite restaurants on the Island, I mean it. Luke is our guy and has always taken such good care of us. I've never had a bad meal or experience that Luke didn't take care of himself. The man is in a league of his own. The food is amazing, Chef prepares them phenomenally. In fact I think we want to make another reservation for tonight. See you guys there.”

“Amazing selection! Incredible service! Best ice cream on the island!🍧🌴🌞💜”

“Loved our time here. Someone shared this in our local Facebook group so we came to try. Beer was ice cold in a goblet glass. Served by the lovely bartendress bri. Every employee was pleasant and we got help from bri, Kelly and elana. We will be back soon, thanks ladies for making us feel so much aloha and attention. Keep up the good work Johnny’s!”

“We didn’t stay here, we only came for dinner at the restaurant, but the experience was great. The view is incredible, we watched the sunset and it was absolutely beautiful. Even with the wind, we were still very comfortable while eating. Everything was delicious and the service was very friendly. It’s definitely on the expensive side, but totally worth it.”

“Great to see Raphael and Yani !!! Miss you guys. It was so good to see you :)”

“The food here is amazing! The staff is stellar. The bartender is creative and the chef is always looking for creative, innovative ways to serve amazing food. We have been coming here for over 9 years and absolutely live this place!”

“Island Breeze have been Rated the Best Luau on the Big Island of Hawaii!”

“Wow! Loved the tasting and the information that Ricardo shared. So much fun! Go and enjoy!”

“Came here with my girls for some bites, drinks, and a sunset view. Not disappointed. The view is amazing! The service all around is great, and special shout out to Cheyne our bartender. He took great care of us!! Jour was also amazing and made us feel so welcomed.”

“The performers were excellent. Atmosphere/setting was nice.

The food was good, but when its windy... you will add nature to your food. Desserts were average at best.

The service was not good. Seating was uncomfortable. No good direction to find the area.

Super expensive. The drinks are not included. In my opinion the total price is not worth the package outside of great performers and history.”

“The best salad I’ve had to date. The server cut the lettuce right off the plant at the table. It doesn’t get much fresher than that. Great experience and the view overlooking the golf course while eating during sunset was spectacular. Do yourself and the love of your life a favor and book it.”
