We made 5:45 reservations for Valentine’s Day dinner. Our table wasn’t ready for 25 minutes after, but it was worth the wait. The menu was limited, but my wife and I found an entree’s that was delicious. My wife had ahi tuna and I had chicken. Both meals were prepared perfectly and the food was great. Our server, Astrid, was cordial, prompt, attentive, and competent. We tipped generously, as she earned it. Very nice evening.

We had a Valentines dinner and it was wonderful. I had the yellow fin tuna feature and my wife had the fresh catch mahi mahi. Both were perfectly cooked and paired with delicious sides. We also enjoyed the coconut shrimp appetizer which was totally unique, not fried like most. Exceptional. We rarely order dessert, however, our waiter offered their peppered pineapple ring in a sweet sauce that balances the fresh ground pepper, topped with yummy vanilla bean ice cream. Totally worth it.

We had a wonderful experience with a Valentine’s Day lunch at Monkeypod. My husband got the Mahi sandwich and I got the fish tacos. Both were delicious! We loved our server but didn’t get his name. Always have a great experience here.

There were 4 of us and we each had a Bloody Mary w/Bacon. It's a little spicy and the bacon has an amazing taste! We also ordered the Malasadas to start which were so good and fun to inject the caramel into the malasada, and swipe the lilikoi syrup when eating. We had the avocado toast, and it seemed the portion was not as large as usual, however it was fine as we weren't that hungry. 2 of us ordered the breakfast with bacon and eggs, which were arrived cooked perfectly as ordered. the other person had Eggs Benedict w/avocado, spinach and tomato with the yolks soft, as ordered and crispy hash browns were ordered by each one of us and they came out perfectly crispy! We love Mala Ocean Tavern and have eaten there many times.We always The service is impeccable and the entire staff is very friendly and accommodating.

Hubby had the herb roasted Ali.. spelling, very light swordfish with a sensational sauce, green beans and fingerling potatoes. He said his was outstanding! The Hula pie was great too! Wonderful dinner!
