Overjoyed to see Podmore resume brunch service. Brunch menu is a tad smaller to keep things manageable but quality is still excellent. 1-2 brunch specials rotating through would definitely be something I'd look forward to if offered. For townside locations I think it's hard to beat Podmore as a Sat/Sun brunch spot.

The breakfast buffet was excellent - super high quality with extensive fresh ingredients. The service, as always at any Four Seasons, was friendly and near perfect. The view and Hawaiian trade breezes made for the most picturesquely relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommended.

We had dinner at Kalapawai on a Tuesday night. We requested a table on the patio that we got. We had the Ahi Nachos as an appetizer (big portion) and the auction fish as our main dishes. The food was very good. The hazy IPA was also very good. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. We had a lovely dinner and will return for sure.
