    Our wonderful waitress from New Mexico was so helpful. She not only helped us pick out the best flap jacks, but filled us in on our Peral Harbor trip. Many Thanks!

    Monkeypod is always great food! Enjoyed the famous mai tais as well. The band was way too loud last night playing music with a repetitive beat. Absent that, a delightful evening with a spectacular view of the fireworks!

    Amazing atmosphere. Beautiful view. Great energy. Service was friendly and efficient. Fish tacos, seared ahi burger, fish sandwich, and fish & chips were all very good. Nice night out in Waikiki.

    Quality food and varsity view. The staff did a great job controlling the shades on the ocean side to balance the sun and view. Banana pie was amazing.
