Partook in the Prix Fix Chef's Menu at Senia and we were amazed. We have been to Senia numerous times before for the a la carte menu, but the Chef's counter really took the meal to the next level. Topped off with the most beautiful Beef Wellington I've have ever seen, the meal was comforting, yet full of whimsy.

The Podmore is a gem of a place! It is a gorgeous space with staff that are kind and thoughtful. That attentiveness is part of the menu too: it is simply one of the best places in Honolulu for a creative and tasty cocktail; the food too is wonderful. I go every few months with a friend or when friends are in town and each time, we have a delightful experience. Top-notch!
