    Service was good, but food was very average for the name. We expected much better. Actually, It was equivalent to the captive resort restaurants. You are better off with many other restaurants in the Kaanapili area, e.g. Fond or Joey’s or Sansei.

    We’ve been to Monkeypod several times over the years. Over Christmas break it can be very loud and food is good but maybe not the best value. We’ll try it again on a less crowded night. Wailea location is lower key if you’re down there.

    Great cocktails, food, and dessert. Had a lovely meal and would definitely come back. If you dine here, leave some room for the coconut cream pie!

    Inconsistent experience from Lunch to dinner. Fish tacos and Monkey Pod Mai Tai's were excellent at lunch. Same order at dinner, fish tacos were dry and Monkey Pod Mai tai was weak. I'd skip the Coconut Cream pie, didn't taste like coconut, just a heavy pile of cream and hard crust.

    This place lives up to the hype! The food was wonderful. I had the cheeseburger and house fries. Delicious ! My wife had the fish sandwich and really enjoyed it. But the Strawberry cream pie was incredible !!
