Restaurants near Hawaii Opera Theater

We‘ve been there multiple times, but today’s foods were phenomenal! Everything tastes better than last time we visited. Other things are we always ordered, but tagliatelle was first time. I love the shrimp texture. Near perfection of firmness. Feel very fresh. Zhoug sauce is spicy and delicious. Everything was tasty and we were very satisfied.

Had lunch here with the ladies today. It was our first time and we all enjoyed it. We ordered the Biscuits in a bag with jam and the truffle fries for appetizer. Couple ladies tried and loved their cocktail “A Honu World”. For lunch we had the Smashed Burger, prime Rib Moco, Chicken Pot Pie, Fresh Fish Sandwich and their version of the Saimin. Then for dessert we had the bread pudding, coconut lime sorbet, coffee and vanilla ice cream. The sorbet was delicious and refreshing and my fish sandwich was moist and oh so yummy! Our server Dylan ( I’m sorry, I hope I got that right) was helpful and attentive. Service and food are 5 stars!

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.

Overall we had a great experience. We were seated quickly after arriving, our server greeted us, brought us water, took drink orders, went over specials, and got our order taken. The timing of everything was great. We got our drinks, our appetizer came out shortly after, and our food came out shortly after we finished the appetizer. Everything was delicious. The staff was very friendly and great throughout the whole dinner. We’d definitely come back. We would just note to be seated inside next time. The street noise was a little loud for our liking, but not enough to ruin the experience.

Excellent food, ambience and service!! ❤️ I haven’t been there for awhile. Popovers were delicious as usual. The food was superb. I had the salmon ochazuke. I love risotto and I love chase and I love salmon so it was a perfect dish to try. It was delicious!!! My girlfriend had the shrimp crab Louis salad. That looked delicious too!! There were so many I love. So I will surely b back!
