Being an owner at WKORV we always visit Pulehu. It is a convenient location with good food. The entire restaurant is open with a view of the garden and the WKORVN complex. The management adjusted to a reservation foulup quickly and provided a pleasant evening.

The food preparation and flavors and presentation were superb. The view and overall ambience was beautiful. Our server, Drew, was a bit sub-par. Little or no personality and he went through his responsibilities more like a robot. Not to nitpick, but we should have been asked as each course was served whether we wanted fresh ground pepper. We shouldn't have... More

On 5/9/13, my wife and I had a lovely meal here,including wonderful service. The wild-caught, just off the Maui, Lanai, Molokai coast jumbo shrimp were magnificent with a sweet taste and very tender with just a hint of seafood. Never had shrimp like these. The caprese salad, with ripe picked Kula tomatoes, was one of the best I've had. The... More

If I could post the photo I took, I would. The view from the restaurant, the servers and the environment were all top-notch. Fantastic restaurant! Highly recommend!

My wife and I have eaten at Pulehu 3 times in the past couple of years. The view and setting are almost worth the price---fantastic. The food is overpriced and only average with smaller portions. You're paying for the ambiance, but it's worth at least one meal here just for that.

A little apprehensive, because of a couple of really negative reviews, we arrived at Pulehu for our 7 pm reservation. We were asked if we wanted to sit right away or wait for a table by the koi pool. We chose the latter and went to wait in the bar. Less than 15 minutes later our table was ready. Our... More

Poor food, awful service. The soup was very good as was one of the appetizers but their award winning sweet potato gnocchi were terrible and most unappetizing to look at. The pizza tasted like frozen pizza, not good at all. Our waitress was flippant and not attentive.

Over a two-week period in late March/early April we ate at Pulehu three times for dinner. Pulehu is open for dinner Thursday-Monday. Closed Tuesday-Wednesday. The first night we had six in our party with Benji as our waiter. Pulehu was the perfect atmosphere with equally impressive food. Benji is quite knowledgeable on wine and made a great recommendation based on... More

My wife and I really enjoyed our dinner here. It is a beautiful spot on a patio overlooking the koi pond and pool at the Westin. A night it is quite pretty with the restaurant lit up with a warm glow and open air. Our server was very good and food arrived promptly. The food was good but not amazing... More

So nice to see the elegant Elyse back at the hostess stand. She brings class along with that amazing smile. Cynthia was our server and was an absolute delight. The food was fabulous as always! Ciao Bella
