- JJamesPortland / Oregon •4 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoGreat service from Ally. Views and ambience were spectacular. Ocean views aplenty. Food was pretty good. Nothing inventive or spectacular, but solid. They really push their Mai Tais which were very tart with a thick and super sweet foam which reduces the size of the cocktail by a good amount. Not even close to others I’ve had in Waikiki.More infoMonkeypod Kitchen - WaikikiPrice: Moderate• Hawaii Regional Cuisine• Waikiki•4.6
- KKathyVIPLas Vegas •41 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoFried rice was hard, not much flavor. Ordered vegetarian omelet twice and both times it was broken on the top, not enough egg? Best pastry item was the chocolate croissant with a custard filling. Servers were nice and friendly, good service.More info100 Sails Restaurant & BarPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Waikiki•4.5
