Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Anthony Rush

From the OpenTable editors: Playful cocktails and comfort food are the stars at this stylish sequel from the beloved Senia team led by chef Anthony Rush and his wife and co-owner Katherine Nomura. Get comfortable at one of green banquettes overlooking Alakea Street or at the marble bar and pick from nearly two dozen cocktails like the tropical Secret Swiftie with amaro and dishes like beer battered fish and chips. End on a sweet note with the flight of three pie-inspired cocktails.

    The drinks are tasty and definitely crafted as reflected in the prices. The mushroom toast with bacon was indulgent and so good. We also got the scallop which were also ono. Originally ordered the bar snacks but when they came to the table and were just small packaged bags of potato chips we decided against them. Not sure if they are good or not but will look for someone's review of them to decide whether or not to try them.

    Love the ambiance, the staff, the location. The menu is a bit challenging. I love the place. But they need to recognize that the menu options need to add simpler options like more salads and simpler fare like steaks and pork chops.

    I'm a repeat diner here. the food here is perfect, concentrating on flavor and presentations -what may look like small portions are instead rich in flavor and perfectly proportioned. another great dining experience.

    It is our new favorite restaurant. We like Roy’s, Fete, MW, Senia , etc. But this was a great change of pace if you are looking for comfort food which is somewhat hard to find on Oahu Would definitely recommend as the Drinks, food and service were superb. Looking forward to going back. Great night overall. Thank you to Podmore for a great evening.

    Before our meal, they presented us with complimentary cocktails in small flutes, just enough to toast our daughter's birthday. Very classy! The Yuzu meringue pie is excellent.

    Absolutely love Podmore. The portions are smaller, but surprisingly filling! Both of our meals were delicious. A real treat in downtown.
