Best Hawaii Regional Cuisine Restaurants in Mccully-Moiliili

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!

Having reservations, we got seated right away. The only issue we had was it took awhile for our food to come. The waiter acknowledged it and was very apologetic. He even compt one of alcoholic drinks we had ordered

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.

We had a wonderful Valentine’s Day. We sat on the rooftop and it was beautiful and had a slight breeze which kept it really comfortable. We had a fantastic server who stayed on top of everything. We ordered the Lobster Spring Rolls and Blue Crab cakes for appetizers and they were delicious! Then for dinner we both had Crab Bisque and the Filet Dinner. Outstanding. My steak was ever so slightly overcooked, but the flavor and tenderness were superb! We ordered the Pineapple Crème Brûlée and Key Lime Pie to go. Both were excellent, but beware…that Key Lime is RICH! I totally recommend this place for date nights, family dinner and just a nice place to relax and have a great meal.

This is not our first visit to the Hula Grill and will not be the last. This visit was for my husbands 60th birthday. I wish we were seated at the rail but table was just fine. The service and food were both perfect. The new bartender had trouble making a bay breeze, kept forgetting the pineapple, but they corrected it fast and without attitudes :-) grateful. I appreciated that the music playing was Hawaiian. We come to Hawaii almost yearly and Hawaiian music is what we want to hear when having a meal. So thank you Hula Grill for a great meal and great atmosphere. Was wonderful. Oh FISH “ALL” was cooked to perfection!
