We celebrated our anniversary at Nico’s Upstairs and from the moment you enter the second floor you are greeted with a warm Aloha. Phillip our waiter was attentive to our needs and very Knowledgeable in both food and liquor selection. From (First )then (Second) and (Third ),the timing was perfect upon being presented with our selected choices. The food was very delicious and seating tables spaced out in a manner giving feeling of an intimate environment . We Highly Recommend Nico’s Upstairs for a truly enjoyable experience.

The Podmore is a gem of a place! It is a gorgeous space with staff that are kind and thoughtful. That attentiveness is part of the menu too: it is simply one of the best places in Honolulu for a creative and tasty cocktail; the food too is wonderful. I go every few months with a friend or when friends are in town and each time, we have a delightful experience. Top-notch!

Absolutely one of the best meals I’ve had on the island so far. Lifelong food enthusiast who has traveled all over the world for the best food. This was certainly one of the better meals I’ve ever had, clearly the best on the island so far. The atmosphere is incredibly casual for this level of food. And almost all of the servers were exceptional.

Excellent service once again. I was surprised of the value of the meals and I appreciate that being on a fixed income. Thank you. And to our server, she was wonderful. She had a French name.
