Best Hawaii Regional Cuisine Restaurants in Ala Moana

Had a great dinner, we had steak it was excellent. The view was perfect. Ocean our server was perfect, friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and enjoyed conversation about Honolulu. Would recommend to dine here. Our dinner with drinks ran 1 1/2 hours. We had a reservation, arrived about 10 minutes early, we were seated immediately. Enjoyed the evening.

The food was amazing, and the service was incredible! Our server Mike and the rest of the staff were above and beyond incredible! The manager Diva is also very on top of everything in that restaurant and is so concerned that everything goes perfect on the table, and it did! Thank you, Diva, and Mike, and all the rest of the people that were involved in our excellent dining situation.

Had a lovely evening at Monkeypod Kitchen. Beautiful ocean view! Our server Maka was an absolute delight! 5 star hospitality and customer service! Food good however entrees were cold by the time they arrived to our table. Maka was kind enough to give us dessert on the house that was delicious! Banana cream pie…YUM!!

Was pleasantry surprised at the overall experience being that it is a clothing store first! Food and the wine list were really good! After hearing about the coconut shrimp app, we had to have it, and enjoyed it! I was so happy to see blue crab/ avocado salad as a main entree and loved it. Don’t see it around much at all. We also had the Chilean sea bass and the ribs and they were excellent too. Service was outstanding and the drinks were innovative and delicious.

Merriman's Ward is definitely our first preferred spot for wino wine share get togethers. Food's fantastic and approachable and the corkage is still wino friendly compared with other places that have corkage charges set to discourage bringing special bottles to share with friends. We enjoyed a 3 hour commiseration over a bottle of Radio Silence! Servers were attentive but not intrusive--they let us do our wine share thing; very nice and appropriate wine glasses. All in all a place not to be missed. Thanks and mahalo again Merriman's Ward!!
