Everytime I search for restaurants in Kailua, Uahi Island grill pops up as most recommended, so we had to go try. I ordered the surf and turf, which is a strip of steak, topped with garlic shrimp, over a bed rice, and you have 2 side options, so my other was Mac salad. My steak was tough, chewy, I guess because it was a New York steak strip? And my rice was bleh. As a Filipino/asian, I love my rice, and it was a little, like dry. I don't know, it wasn't perfect. But the garlic shrimp was good. My wife had the red curry fish, the popular dish, and she said that was 5 star, and it was really good. We also ordered the furikake calamari and trio poke.. the calamari would've been good if it was a little softer, but that too was chewy, like the calamari was overcooked or something, and the poke trio was goooood!! I liked it! I also had a lihingmui margarita, was aight, not enough alcohol lol.
But other than that, customer service was good, girl was nice, food came out fast, and the ambiance was cute. Had a nice fast date with the wife. The decor was cute.. the workers have their art work display and for sell!!!! So you can actually buy their art. Get indoor and outdoor seating, public parking garage (metered) is right there if not street parking. Wish I got a picture of the art stuff/decor inside. Also have bar, and their popular dish was featured in diners, drive inns, and dive, with Guy!
Would I go there again? Maybe, maybe not lol. But you should go try!
