Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Ala Moana

We had to make reservation changes multiple times an hour prior to our reservation time. The hostess was extremely accommodating and so helpful and polite during all interactions. They were able to meet our party of 8 requests even though it was a Saturday night and holiday weekend. Waitress was very friendly and attentive and food was great as usual. Love coming here, will continue coming here and will always recommend others to as well.

Highly recommended!! We came to 100 Sails Restaurant & Bar multiple times for their buffet. But this was our first time having to order off of their lunch menu. Started with clam chowder soup, lunch & ended with dessert everything was perfect & delicious!! Our server was on point with seeing how we we're doing randomly, taking our completed dishes off the table & continuously refilling our water. EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT!! Oh & when she brought our tab she also gave us cute bagged Miso Sesame Brown Butter Cookies.That was totally not expected! Mahalo Nui Loa!

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.

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.

Excellent food, ambience and service!! ❤️ I haven’t been there for awhile. Popovers were delicious as usual. The food was superb. I had the salmon ochazuke. I love risotto and I love chase and I love salmon so it was a perfect dish to try. It was delicious!!! My girlfriend had the shrimp crab Louis salad. That looked delicious too!! There were so many I love. So I will surely b back!
