Best Restaurants for Groups in Kaka'ako

What an amzing Mediterranean Restaurant l!!! Foods was fresh, taste was well balanced and service was amazing. A must try.

Friends and I were there for the wine pairing dinner. Everything was great. Good food and wine. This time it was a bit livelier than other times. Maybe it was due to the New Year and people were getting together. But always a nice time. Thank you!

Had a lovely evening at Monkeypod Kitchen. Beautiful ocean view! Our server Maka was an absolute delight! 5 star hospitality and customer service! Food good however entrees were cold by the time they arrived to our table. Maka was kind enough to give us dessert on the house that was delicious! Banana cream pie…YUM!!

Merriman's Ward is definitely our first preferred spot for wino wine share get togethers. Food's fantastic and approachable and the corkage is still wino friendly compared with other places that have corkage charges set to discourage bringing special bottles to share with friends. We enjoyed a 3 hour commiseration over a bottle of Radio Silence! Servers were attentive but not intrusive--they let us do our wine share thing; very nice and appropriate wine glasses. All in all a place not to be missed. Thanks and mahalo again Merriman's Ward!!

Everything we ordered was flavorful. We tried here mainly because they indicated a vegetable broth used for their vegan pho. 1 of us is a vegan and the rest were not. For our vegan diner they also had a delicious tofu bahn mi and tofu spring roll. All the dishes we ordered were tasty. They only had 1 waitress. It was busy for her so 1 of the kitchen help came out to take our order. The restaurant is pretty plain, like cafeteria style seats and table, so it was pretty casual dining.
