I've never had a bad time at Hula.
The drinks are some of the best mixes in the valley. Be careful though, they pack a helluva punch.
From the burgers to the Mongolian beef bowl to their ceviche, you can't pick a bad dish.
They set out to be a throwback 50's style tiki bar and they nail it.
But, if you really want to enjoy yourself, sit at the bar. John (the tall guy) is hands down one of the best bartenders in the valley. Somewhere the art of that job got lost. The fun, easy to talk to, quick witted bartenders have been in large part replaced with a surly, too busy to chat, cooler than you crowd that makes it hard to be a repeat customer anymore. Not at Hula.
Some people think that five stars are too commonly given out. I think five stars are deserved when it's a place you've recommended *first* when somebody asks you where to go downtown. Hula's been that more than once.
