    opentableで2名、15時30分に予約し、15時30分に受付に行ったにもかかわらず、受付の女が他の飛び込み客と同じように待たされた。iPhoneで予約メールを表示し少し声をあげて他の受付に抗議したらすぐに入れてくれた。

    We just got appetizers but the food was immaculate. The Mai Tai was amazing but there was also plenty of beers to choose from. Highly recommend the chicken wings and jalapeño mashed potatoes !!

    Let me start by stating that we frequently eat at Monkeypod. Today I had the Thanksgiving turkey meal. The turkey was fine. The mashed potatoes were a bit better than mashed potatoes in a Swanson frozen dinner. The mac 'n cheese was bland. Stuffing was creative and good. The turkey leftover sandwich to take home was a cute idea. Fun. Creative. But a couple of pieces of dried-out turkey in between two pieces of soggy toast totally negated the fun idea. I just can't believe Monkeypod was so off today.

    Everything was great but it does end up being a pricey evening and the noise level was ridiculous. Loved the gnocchi and all the appetizers. The lobster pasta was scrumptious. Cocktails were great. Chocolate cream pie very average.
