You are enjoying your vacation in Honolulu. You are starting to see why it is called the “fun island” because there is so much to do and see. Hula Grill in Waikiki sits on a second floor patio overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Enjoy a cocktail on the patio as you let the palm trees and topical weather take you in.

1. The Food
If you are unfamiliar with a Loco Moco, this is a life-changing moment for you. This traditional Hawaiian dish has several different variations, but it is usually a bed of rice, a meat patty, egg, served with gravy on top. We make these all the time at home and experiment with different ways to make them!
If this sounds like it is up your alley, the Hula Grill serves up a mean Loco Moco with pork and sausage. Channel your inner Hawaiian cuisine with this dish, or the several others to choose from on their menu.
2. The Drinks
There is just something about being on a patio near the water that makes me crave a cocktail. Hula Grill has a beer and wine menu along with their custom cocktails. We visited the restaurant for brunch so a mimosa was the obvious choice.

3. The View
With a view of Waikiki Beach, you are surrounded by palm trees and Hawaiian air. The waves crash into the shore beside you as beach-goers mingle on the sand. Blue umbrellas line the beach for the Outrigger Resort. There is no shortage of people-watching with this amazing view.
4. The Pictures
We made a reservation in advance because we wanted seats outside. In addition, we dined when the restaurant first opened as to avoid crowds. Getting a seat near the beach made for great pictures that we still look at years later.

5. The Location
Hula Grill is a sister company to Duke’s Waikiki. Both restaurants are located inside the Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort.
