Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Ala Moana

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!

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.

Excellent service. The food was exactly how we ordered it. Oysters were fresh and beautifully presented. A must is the Wolfgang salad - juicy tomatoes, sweet onions, roasted red bell peppers, bite sized shrimp, hearty blocks of bacon, all nestled on a bed of iceberg lettuce. The ribeye was tender and juicy. We enjoyed our dinning experience. Parking is validated.

Sat on the patio with a nice breeze! Seated immediately and enjoyed a leisurely lunch with views of the ocean! We are not in Kansas anymore.

Best experience! Actually enjoyed it way more than other places like this! Will be back again for sure! Service was amazing, ambiance was perfect for a family dinner and they were open late!!! Major plus!
