| - After a long day and a longer week, I agreed to fetch the BFF from the airport in exchange for dinner. We initially decided on Maizie's, but when the entire lot at the Landmark was full, we circled around to the adjacent complex and decided to try Hula's instead. The patio was full, but we were immediately seated inside. Our waitress Victoria was quite charming and gave us plenty of time to look over the menu while we chatted. After a few minutes, he decided on a beer and I asked for a passion fruit iced tea and the Zombie - a delightful combination of rum and fruit juices.
After we ordered, we sat back and enjoyed the ambiance. The indoor seating area was empty, but a group of four was seated beside us. I wasn't sure about the close seating with connected tabletops, but it really wasn't so bad, even when a group of four was seated right beside us. I excused myself to use the restroom and was happy to see it was clean and non-smelly.
A short while later, our meals arrived. We both ordered burgers - his was beef and had mushrooms and mine was Ahi, and of course, we both ordered the sweet potato fries. Unfortunately, they were undercooked! We let our waitress know, and she took our plated after apologizing. She returned minutes later with our burgers and a promise of a fresh basket of fries for us to share. The fresh batch of fries was much better - hot, crispy on the outside, and perfectly cooked on the inside. I think Mazie's are better, but these were definitely good. Our burgers were each served on really nice, thick buns with sesame seeds. I can't speak for my friend's meal, but my burger was wonderful! I asked for no slaw and the sun-dried tomato pesto aioli on the side. The aioli had a really nice flavor and tasted great on the burger. The ground tuna seemed to have been combined with diced serranos which gave it a really, really nice flavor and a bit of heat.
Despite being stuffed, we each finished our meals and sat talking for a long while after. Our waitress was super-attentive and kept the iced tea and water refills coming steadily. Nice surprise: after the bill was paid, she brought us an order of shrimp rolls. She said it was an incorrect order but wanted us to have them since we were so great. I'm not a fan of shrimp, but the rolls looked and smelled delicious. I tried some (sans shrimp) and loved the flavor of the toasted coconut flakes and the really great pineapple dipping sauce.
I am very much looking forward to returning to Hula's again and again. Lunch service will begin on November 1, which seems too far away. Great service, great food, great ambiance - love it!
