    Monkey Pod has delicious food & drinks. The only thing that they do “wrong” is to rush you through your meal! I told our server that we wanted our appetizers before we would order our dinner. I had to explain that this is,”Dining”…. Not “Chowing Down”

    Food is usually good. Fish and chips--the fish was excellent. The fries were limp. Chocolate pie is the best.

    This is always a great experience. Very lively crowd. Live music (last night's smooth jazz guitar playing singer was really good). Service was great. Food is excellent. Not really formal, more casual, but with a special twist. (i.e., spicy wings, truffle fries, etc.). The setting is open-air, ambiance is upbeat, but it is not a quiet, romantic spot by any means. if you don't like noise, this is not your place.

    Food was tasty, service was fast and our sever was attentive. Food is a bit overpriced in my opinion, the poke tacos are tiny, and the happy hour is not really worth it when most of their appetizers are seafood, so you’re not really able to get a deal u less you order wings or fries. Pizza was ok, personal size, nothing amazing. Burgers were decent, their fries and truffle fries are tasty and the Mai Tais are great.
