    Had a great experience at monkey pod! Amazing view, great vibe and great live singer! The happy hour is amazing. I suggest the white Walter drink (yummm) and the truffle pizza and fries. Amazing service made it even better. Will definitely be back !

    We had an amazing time. The food was fabulous, the mai tai … still drooling. The entertainment, John Akapo was so so good. Best of all was our server, Tida. What an asset to Monkey pod, great recommendations, attentive and just an absolute joy!!

    Views of the water, the live musician was so talented! Food was solid but also reasonably priced. If you’re looking for a modestly priced restaurant with a great water front vibe give this place a try.

    We were treated to a table facing the water - comfortable, wonderful ambiance. Our servers were friendly and attentive. The special macadamia-crusted mahi mahi was delicious!! We also enjoyed the live music.

    Breakfast food was good, not great, but the view and the service were both excellent! I enjoyed it so much that I returned the next morning.

    Excellent food, service, and ambiance. Expensive but well worth it for the quality of food and service. Music was good but too loud and made it difficult to have conversation.
