Hula’s Island Grill

It’s an election year and Americans have choices to make – important ones, like luau pork sandwich or jungle tofu bowl; barramundi crusted with macadamia nuts or pan-seared shrimp tacos; spicy edamame or those gluten-free ahi wontons. These are serious issues… or they would be, if you didn’t have the option of voting the party ticket at Hula’s – party, as in everybody having a great time. Vegetarian, gluten-free, wanting to share, not wanting to share, fish, meat or whatever, Hula’s is one of the most inclusive restaurants around.
