Restaurants near Magic Island

Had lunch here with the ladies today. It was our first time and we all enjoyed it. We ordered the Biscuits in a bag with jam and the truffle fries for appetizer. Couple ladies tried and loved their cocktail “A Honu World”. For lunch we had the Smashed Burger, prime Rib Moco, Chicken Pot Pie, Fresh Fish Sandwich and their version of the Saimin. Then for dessert we had the bread pudding, coconut lime sorbet, coffee and vanilla ice cream. The sorbet was delicious and refreshing and my fish sandwich was moist and oh so yummy! Our server Dylan ( I’m sorry, I hope I got that right) was helpful and attentive. Service and food are 5 stars!

We continue to return to Ruth’s Chris for their excellent service and wonderful food. We have never had a bad experience or meal. The manager, David, is very friendly and ensures that you have the best experience possible. Definitely worth the price and we highly recommend them.

Food was delicious, and loved the ambiance with the live music, dim lighting, and the restaurant being right next to the ocean. Me and my wife went on Valentine’s Day and we were able to get in right at our reservation time. She had the margarita pizza and I had the ribeye with jalapeño mashed potatoes and Swiss chard. The jalapeño mashed potatoes were incredible and so was the rib eye, which was cooked perfectly medium and tasted better than most nice steak houses I’ve been to. I would always recommend monkey pod to people looking for a good place to eat with a nice environment and setting.

This was our first experience. It was Valentines Day so perfect. Everything was amazing! The food, taste and quality were delectable! Portions were just right. Our waiter.. His service was outstanding! Very personable. Appearance of the restaurant magnificent! Reservation I made was right at sunset. It was Friday night so we got the Fireworks over Waikīkī too. Only thing disappointing was I left a note in the online reservation stating we were celebrating our engagement but staff wasn’t made aware. So best to call them direct I guess if you’re planning an occasion like that.

A friend was in town for only two days and we had missed getting together on her prior visits. I chose Hau Tree lanai for brunch and it was perfect. She liked the choices on the menu and the ocean just outside. The food, service and ambiance were their usual best. My favorite restaurant for 20 or more years and am always impressed.
