    The hosts were just wonderful to us! They welcomed us with Aloha. The little neck clam special was the best! Hope they add it to the menu. (Hint) The Steak Salad was delicious. The service was excellent! The music was the cherry on top! It’s worth coming just to listen to Howard Ahia! What an amazing talent and a wonderful human being! The desserts were just ok. Thank you for the non alcoholic drinks selection. However,If you’re only going to offer 1 n/a beer please make it a good one! Heineken 0 sounds good but they don’t call it 0 for nothing! I would add any of Athletic Brewing Company’s IPA’s They’re all non alcoholic They’re delicious and it shows that you care about quality and not just a brand. Over all a wonderful evening and we’ll be back soon! Thank you!

    Had a fantastic dinner last night with my husband and toddler at a cozy upcountry Maui spot. The vibe was intimate yet casual, perfect for our family. The drinks were amazing, the steak was cooked to perfection, and our server, Ben, was attentive and kind. Can’t wait to return!

    Wonderful old building with a delicious menu and nice beverages on offer. Our waiter, Joe, was exceptional as were the rest of the staff. Well worth it and a perfect spot to eat prior to our red-eye flight back to North America!

    Loves every minute of our visit to MonkeyPod. Seated immediately on the side patio. Jess greeted us and brought us 3 Mai tais and a whiskey sour - delicious! Then we shared a Gem Salad and a Brocli Salad - both delicious but the Brocli was so unique we all agreed it was the best. Fish Tacos, Fish and Chops and Macademia Nut encrusted Mahi Mahi we all excellent but my Rib Eye was over the top. Cooked to perfection. We had a bottle of Tempranillo which paired well with everything and topped it all off with Banana Cream pie. Would recommend the entire meal all over again. Jess was an excellent waitress!
