    Food was beyond expectation, all our dishes were absolutely delicious. Ambiance was perfect for us, it was so well set up and energetic. Love the banyan tree in the middle of the restaurant. Would definitely go again and am looking forward to trying their brunch menu next.

    Merriman is the consummate restaurateur. His approach to food, service, and dining environment has remained remarkably focused on his customers. We have experienced this since dining at his original Big Island location over thirty years ago. We have dined there and at his additional restaurants now many times since. It is impressive to me that his Monkeypod at Waikiki restaurant has all of the features of his original, albeit in a much larger venue. Here we had creative dishes like poke tacos, and long established like Mahi Mahi macadamia nut crusted. They were all outstanding and served with care. Remarkable in such a high volume setting. We always look forward to dining at his restaurants and feel fortunate to do so when visiting these lovely islands

    Came here for the first time to celebrate an anniversary and now I can see what all the hype was about. This is an epic date spot for cocktails and a sunset, I highly recommend. Food and drinks were awesome, but a bit overpriced. I look forward to coming back for their happy hour.
