From the OpenTable editors: Playful cocktails and comfort food are the stars at this stylish sequel from the beloved Senia team led by chef Anthony Rush and his wife and co-owner Katherine Nomura. Get comfortable at one of green banquettes overlooking Alakea Street or at the marble bar and pick from nearly two dozen cocktails like the tropical Secret Swiftie with amaro and dishes like beer battered fish and chips. End on a sweet note with the flight of three pie-inspired cocktails.

Known for its "elevated Britain" menu, guests rave about the fish and chips, steak pot pie, and brunch offerings like the smoked soufflé pancakes. The cozy ambiance and attentive staff make it perfect for special occasions.

    A rare miss in the Honolulu dining rotation. We decided to stretch out a bit for a Sunday brunch and it was poor decision. From unbelievably slow service to a non-notable menu, Podmore, unfortunately, missed all the check points. This is, of course, taking into account “island time” and attitude. A rare disappointment in an otherwise fantastic food scene!

    The Restaurant was nicely decorated for the Christmas season. The staff was friendly and cordial and granted our request for a different table so we both had a view of the restaurant. Food and drinks were good. Would recommend the restaurant to others.

    I had gone to podmore a few years ago. And they added a lot of new stuff to their menu. I loved it. We went their for a Christmas dinner with friends and everyone loved it. They were very accommodating. Great service. Great food, great ambiance. Interior makes you feel like you’re in New York. Loved it. We will definitely be going back! Thank you to the wonderful staff.

    The Podmore is a gem of a place! It is a gorgeous space with staff that are kind and thoughtful. That attentiveness is part of the menu too: it is simply one of the best places in Honolulu for a creative and tasty cocktail; the food too is wonderful. I go every few months with a friend or when friends are in town and each time, we have a delightful experience. Top-notch!

    The restaurant itself is stunning, and the service was excellent. The drinks were fantastic, but the food didn’t quite meet our expectations. The carbonara lacked creaminess and flavor, and while the chicken and waffles offered an interesting twist, the chicken was a bit chewy, and the potatoes were overly greasy.
