I celebrated my birthday here with my partner and it was our first time at Hula’s. We had such a wonderful experience, largely thanks to our server, Sarah H!
Sarah was absolutely lovely and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She walked us through several options and gave thoughtful recommendations for both drinks and food. Everything she suggested was fantastic…(in fact, the items she recommended ended up being our favorites of the night!).
She was also extremely attentive and detail oriented. At one point she noticed that my partner’s salad was missing the pumpkin seeds that were supposed to come with it. It was such a small detail that easily could have been overlooked (we ourselves didn’t notice!), but she caught it right away and fixed it. That level of care really stood out.
She made our first visit feel special and memorable. Thank you for making my birthday dinner such a great experience! <3

Really good happy hour drink and food specials every day!
There was a slight wait on a Tuesday (all day happy hour), but the service, vibe, and prices were definitely worth it!

I visited to celebrate my birthday and the food was very good. For some reason, our server forgot several of our requests — we asked for napkins three times and never received them:(. However, they did bring out a delicious birthday cake!

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.

I was in Santa Cruz with my friends and we were looking for some place to eat with food and drinks. HULA ranked on the top list with excellent recommendations from google and yelp so we decided to give it a try. Oh girl, I was absolutely impressed; this Hawaiian Island themed restaurant serves a variety of high quality vegan/vegetarian, gluten free appetizers, entree and their cocktails. Some of the best food we have ever had! Since I am vegetarian and most of the time I struggle with good food but this place surpassed my expectations and tasted like heaven.
This place has good indoor ambiance. unfortunately we could not get experience it! We saw one beautiful Hawaiian themed room next to their bar section with mind blowing decor and so asked host if they could accommodate us inside but they couldn’t. I still wonder why would not they want to serve us there 🙁
Anyways, our host sat our table in their outdoor dining area.The drinks and food came out quickly and tasted so great. I am sucker of good cocktails and every single one of them were delicious and well balanced with right mixology and the best of presentation. The service was also excellent . Server was sweet and friendly, she suggested everything to my taste bud .
This place stand out if you looking for some top notch hand crafted cocktails with very best vegetarian bites. A great place to hangout with your families and friends if you in Santa Cruz .The entire crew is friendly. They could have made our dining experience more enjoyable if they had served us inside the themed dining room.
Parking is convenient to get since there is one paid parking spot across the street and also parking is available on the street.

Really fun vibe, delicious food, nice staff. It was pretty busy, a 15 minute wait, and there were definitely not enough staff to manage all the customers. My poke bowl was super delicious, and the coconut shrimp rolls were AMAZING! Overall, great experience, probably better to go on a less busy day!

Hands down, one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had! My friends and I originally stopped in for a quick bite and a drink before heading out on the town, but ended up ordering way more than planned. Everything looked too good to pass up!! The menu is massive, and everything we tried was delicious. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by all the great options, I highly recommend the ahi tuna tacos (or the burger!), the sticky & sweet Kona chicken wings, or the Thai curry bowl! Huge shoutout to our server, Madison, who was an absolute gem. Even though the place was buzzing with activity, she stayed incredibly attentive, warm, and knowledgeable. She gave us amazing recommendations and made the whole experience feel relaxed and fun. Also, the hostess we met that night—didn’t catch her name, was super friendly and welcoming. Wishing her all the best in school and beyond! This place is officially my go-to spot anytime I’m in Santa Cruz. Can’t wait to come back!

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.

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.
