    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.

    The experience was great except the music was so loud we couldn’t talk to each other. Save a few decibels and you would be amazing

    A few of the food plates were not well proportioned around wise for the cost. Food was delicious, but could use more, especially the gnocchi.

    Great service, food was good. There is a live music, so it is a bit loud. I would go again for lunch when there is no music.
