Restaurants near Swanzy Beach Park

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.

Our server/waitress was excellent; very attentive, welcoming and one of the best we've ever had anywhere!! Food was great which is why we keep coming back. The only drawback was the smell where we sat, 2nd booth going towards the kitchen. The booth chair was ripped, the odor from the carpet or kitchen was not pleasant. Just a suggestion that an update/renovation might be needed.

I gave my guests a lunch choice of food trucks, the more casual restaurant at Turtle Bay Golf Course and Beach House and was secretly thrilled they chose this one! The food and drinks (non-alcoholic piña coladas and Plantation Iced Tea) were spot on. I ordered the burrata with beet hummus and mixed greens with ume balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Didn't think I could finish it, but in the end it was all too tasty to leave any morsel behind. Others had the lobster/crab roll and the Kalua pork sandwich w/fries. Brussel sprouts with pork belly burnt ends are a great starter. Attentive service, a beautiful ocean view and relaxing live music elevated this excellent meal.

Excellent all around. One of the best meals we have had on the island. Not stuffy. Our waiter was top notch. Good drinks great seafood. Beautiful atmosphere. They explained everything well with the menu. Very accommodating. Would definitely go back.

Overall we had a great experience. We were seated quickly after arriving, our server greeted us, brought us water, took drink orders, went over specials, and got our order taken. The timing of everything was great. We got our drinks, our appetizer came out shortly after, and our food came out shortly after we finished the appetizer. Everything was delicious. The staff was very friendly and great throughout the whole dinner. We’d definitely come back. We would just note to be seated inside next time. The street noise was a little loud for our liking, but not enough to ruin the experience.
