Best Restaurants for Handcrafted Cocktails in Hawaii

Great place! Vintage Hawaii at its best with a wonderful view of Diamond Head. Cool music and casual dining, perfect for couples, groups or families. Loved it.

Merriman is the consummate restaurateur. His approach to food, service, and dining environment has remained remarkably focused on his customers. We have experienced this since dining at his original Big Island location over thirty years ago. We have dined there and at his additional restaurants now many times since. It is impressive to me that his Monkeypod at Waikiki restaurant has all of the features of his original, albeit in a much larger venue. Here we had creative dishes like poke tacos, and long established like Mahi Mahi macadamia nut crusted. They were all outstanding and served with care. Remarkable in such a high volume setting. We always look forward to dining at his restaurants and feel fortunate to do so when visiting these lovely islands

Came here for the first time to celebrate an anniversary and now I can see what all the hype was about. This is an epic date spot for cocktails and a sunset, I highly recommend. Food and drinks were awesome, but a bit overpriced. I look forward to coming back for their happy hour.

Excellent service and great choice of beverages!! Only had beer but the food looked delicious!

My mahi mahi was overcooked & dry- should have sent it back, but everyone else said their food was very good. Band was playing outside when we first arrived - was so loud we had to yell to talk. But that ended after 20 min
