    I would have come to Monkeypod every day of this vacation if I could have. The food and drinks are all such high quality and the service was amazing! Our favorites were the chicken wings, fish and chips, and the Monkeypod Mai Tai (the virgin Mai Tai was also great). Will definitely return our next time in Maui!

    This was an excellent experience all around. All the staff were polite and efficient. The food was outstanding start to finish. We ate on the patio, which is what we wanted because of the island ambiance and lower noise level. Bill, our server, was impeccable.

    Friendly and attentive service even on a holiday weekend. We tried the lobster deviled eggs which were tasty. Our entrees were the Mac nut encrusted Mahi and Mahi fish tacos. Both were great!

    Great food as always, the Mac nut crusted Mahi always is a delight. The new shrimp appetizer is just the right amount of kick and the Kula pie is a perfect way to end the night. Our server Sydney was awesome
