    Food was delicious, and loved the ambiance with the live music, dim lighting, and the restaurant being right next to the ocean. Me and my wife went on Valentine’s Day and we were able to get in right at our reservation time. She had the margarita pizza and I had the ribeye with jalapeño mashed potatoes and Swiss chard. The jalapeño mashed potatoes were incredible and so was the rib eye, which was cooked perfectly medium and tasted better than most nice steak houses I’ve been to. I would always recommend monkey pod to people looking for a good place to eat with a nice environment and setting.

    When in Hawaii we stay at The Kahala so breakfast is a must at Plumeria Beach House. Service was excellent thanks to Brad our server and the food was awesome and delicious as always. Highly recommend the sunrise papaya with the addition of crisp bacon and the Hawaiian style Bennie with taro English muffins and pork short rib,tender and delicious. Keeps us coming back for more.
