    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!

    Been coming to hideout for 3 years now every time my wife and I visit Oahu and it never disappoints. The Hamajang Board is a must order. The pork belly Brussels are definitely my favorite and my wife ranks the ahi sashimi with some of the best she’s had. Vibe is always on point as well. Theres plenty of great food around Waikiki but many places in the area are lacking in this department so it definitely sets the hideout apart. Every live music act or DJ I’ve seen there have been great. We’ll keep coming back.

    Outstanding service from Jae and the entire staff. Excellent meal: caprese salad was very flavorful, pasta with clams and pasta with sea urchin exceptional, and the panna cotta was perfectly prepared. Cocktails and wine were delicious, and the chilled limoncello a lovely finale.
