    Amazing and delicious started with the special tomato clam soup. It had a little kick to it, which was a wonderful surprise. Charbroil oysters on the half shelve were perfectly done. Had the scallops they melted in your mouth with every bite. The staff was amazing . Always making sure we were doing great. Definitely be back

    On Valentine’s Day, 4 of us were finding most places were not available for a regular dinner since we’d just arrived from out of town. Suddenly Open Table showed Pono Pacific had an opening, so we snagged it. The mahi mahi was the perfect combination of sweet and crunchy. The squash appetizer was also delectable. Mussels complemented the halibut, and the shortbread tart deliciously completed the exquisite meal. It turns out a previous reservation had just serendipitously canceled, lucky us!

    Beautiful ocean view so don’t go at night or when it’s dark - the steaks are fabulous and the best sauce is the mushroom sauce which you must ask for with your meal - the chocolate lava cake will please several of you and you probably only need one - if it is your birthday they will give it to you for free! Surf and turf is to die for! Reservations are a must and prices are expensive but you will not care as the food is just that good - remember the daytime views of the ocean as you dine are majestic!

    We try to eat at Ada's every time we are in town! The food is always Excellent! This time, we both had the Seafood pasta which has a delicious rich tomato-based cream sauce(reminds me of vidka sauce).... delicious from the first to last bite. My husband also had the wedge salad which did NOT disappoint.... pulled high with bacon, blue cheese, cherry tomatoes..... not the block oficeberg lettuce with 2-3 bacon bits you see at other restaurants. Thank you Ada's for great food and service, as usual!
