ULU Ocean Grill restaurant at the Four Seasons Resort Hualālai sits on one of the most beautiful oceanfront beach settings on the Big Island of Hawaii. They had me at inspired cuisine composed of 75% local ingredients from Hawaii Island. The whale show and breathtaking sunset were a magical bonus. Jump to review.













Check out my trip to Buddha’s Cup Kona Coffee Plantation – inspired by dinner at ULU.
My dinner at ULU Ocean Grill was one of the most memorable and delightful dinners I’ve ever had. This was thanks to the breathtaking sunset, the whale who kept jumping out of the water, the impeccable quality and fresh local ingredients used in drinks and dishes, the tasty combinations of flavours, and the excellent service (thanks Lee).
I was not staying at the Four Seasons Resort Hualālai, sadly, as it is a beautiful setting! It was worth making the drive (valet parking is included with dinner) to and from Hualālai just for dinner…I’d repeat, including trying the breakfast, if I had more time on the Big Island of Hawaii!
I had heard good things about about ULU, and was prepared for a splurge. Be ready to spend $250-$350 for two (incl tip) for this beautiful dining experience. The setting is calm and relaxing. I especially appreciate the use of local ingredients, the hight standard of quality, and the Hawaii casual welcome that makes an evening here a fabulous Hawaiian experience.
It was hard choosing which photos to use for this post, so many came out well (good light and good architecture)! I look forward to coming back!
