    We celebrated our 15 year Anniversary last night. Although we were seated at the counter, it was still an amazing experience and we honestly would choose it again. Our bartender Clark was very attentive, very knowledgeable and provided amazing pairing recommendations. The food was to live for and we thoroughly felt like we celebrated 15 years the way it should be celebrated. 1000% highly recommend. You WILL NOT be disappointed.

    We are supper diners and we recommend making reservations. They get busy. With reasonable expectations anything you order will be satisfying. I wouldn't say that they are a budget venue, however, fair for what you receive. They always have a chef special for steaks and seafood as well as a catch of the day entee. Their cheese and salumi platter is a great start for 4 guests with cocktails. Hope you enjoy!

    A fave of ours in Waikīkī! Quaint & tiny but cozy & fun. Absolutely delicious food for decent prices! Service is exceptional (Jamie is fabulous!) - the whole team is collaborative and helps each other out which makes everything seemless. Do yourself a favour and book a few reservations during your trip - you won’t regret it!

    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!
