Dining at the chef's table at the Hula Grill

The kitchen at the chef's table at the Hula Grill. Awesome wood-fire grilled Ono tonight!
Chef Bobby Masters does an awesome job in the kitchen here.
Little known secret:  Ask to be seated at the chef's table.  If there's room, you'll
bypass the 45-minute waiting line out in front, and be seated with this view at the bar
or at one of 3 tables, set back a little bit from the bar.  If the chef does more
for you than just conversation, then remember to tip generously!  These guys are
hard workers and they really perform in the kitchen!
