Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Anthony Rush

From the OpenTable editors: Playful cocktails and comfort food are the stars at this stylish sequel from the beloved Senia team led by chef Anthony Rush and his wife and co-owner Katherine Nomura. Get comfortable at one of green banquettes overlooking Alakea Street or at the marble bar and pick from nearly two dozen cocktails like the tropical Secret Swiftie with amaro and dishes like beer battered fish and chips. End on a sweet note with the flight of three pie-inspired cocktails.

    We’ve dined at Podmore to celebrate my husband’s birthday a few weeks back and had to return to share the experience with visitors. From the vibe, to the drinks, to the food, to the service we are lucky to have this special gem in Hawaii!

    We have enjoyed our two visits to Podmore, once for drinks and once for brunch. Service has always been good and the room is lovely. We look forward to the next time.

    This was our first experience here, but will definitely go back. We made our reservation late with only seating available. Although getting there early for our reservation, we were seated quickly by a very friendly red-headed server. Alex took care of us at the bar and helped guide us through the cocktail and dinner menus. I enjoy mescal and spice ordered the "4 Tha Hotties". My wife wasn't certain what she wanted as all the drinks sounded delicious, and Alex helped her make a selection. The cocktails were excellent. For food, we started wit the "Devils on Horseback" and "Pork Buns." We only recently learned about Devils on Horseback and these were different from others we tried on a recent trip to Napa. Both the Devils on Horseback and Pork buns were delicious. For the entree, my wife had the scallops which were delicious and seared perfectly. Alex helped me nail down the Fish and Chips, although the Braised beef and chicken pot pie sounded tempting - we will have to return to try them. The meal was filling leaving no room for dessert, which was a disappointment as the dessert menu looked inviting. We will have to return to try more options.

    We arrived 20 minutes before our reservation and we were still seated immediately in a nice corner table. The food was amazing, chop salad and triple fried chips, kale land truffle asagna and curry chicken dish. Only complaint is the lasagna was tiny, but amazingly delicious. Our waitress was amazing and very attentive and gave us privacy when needed for phone calls. Home made ice cream sandwich was the best also, and the free non alcoholic birthday dessert drink was a stellar touch. The chai iced latte was so good we had to have two, and the cold brew coffee was excellent as well. We will definitely be back next time we’re in town.
