Best American Restaurants in North Shore

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.

For Valentine's Day, my husband and I decided to dine at the Plumeria’s seafood buffet. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by our server, Eric, who was friendly and made us feel well taken care of. The selection on the menu was incredible, and we especially loved the carved prime rib and crab legs. The sashimi was so tender, and I really enjoyed the sushi bar. However, I have to say that the bread pudding was the highlight of the meal! The Kahala Hotel and Plumeria hold a special place in our hearts, as we’ve made many wonderful memories here with family and friends. We’ll definitely be back!

I gave my guests a lunch choice of food trucks, the more casual restaurant at Turtle Bay Golf Course and Beach House and was secretly thrilled they chose this one! The food and drinks (non-alcoholic piña coladas and Plantation Iced Tea) were spot on. I ordered the burrata with beet hummus and mixed greens with ume balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Didn't think I could finish it, but in the end it was all too tasty to leave any morsel behind. Others had the lobster/crab roll and the Kalua pork sandwich w/fries. Brussel sprouts with pork belly burnt ends are a great starter. Attentive service, a beautiful ocean view and relaxing live music elevated this excellent meal.

It was a wonderful time at the restaurant. Our server Connor Donovan was amazing The Mahi mahi amazing, The sourdough bread amazing, the yams anding. It was a perfect evening and dinner sitting outside watching the sunset.
