Visited Village Bottle Shop & Tasting Room for food and drink before the movie scheduled at 9:10…read morepm. What a great decision! We sat at the bar and was served by a wonderful bartender Michelle. So many draft beer choices on the daily board, along with a nice selection of wines too (for the non-beer drinkers) ... so there is something for everyone here. But the best surprise here was the food! This Kapolei location has a full page food menu (unlike the one at SALT which is quite limited for food options). We ordered the Chop Chop Caesar Salad, the Dirty Dog hotdog, and the Beef Tallow Fries with the Furikake Ranch sauce. The salad was extremely fresh! The hot dog was delish! BUT the winner of the evening was definitely the Beef Tallow Fries ... so GOOD! The perfectly cooked fry ... not greasy and with the just the right amount of CRISP. Highly recommend getting these fries ... you're welcome. Favorite alcoholic choice of the night was the Lanikai Shaved Ice Tropical Seltzer Mango ... I know, say that fast 3 times. But trust me, it's worth it! So refreshing, just the right hint of mango with a something something shaved ice top note :-) Anytime I see this listed on the board, I will for sure be ordering it. Super clean inside bar, outdoor patio, and bathrooms. Service was A+ as well. Thanks for a great evening Village Bottle!

What a difference! So glad we decided to give them another chance!…read more Since my last review, we've been back twice, and I have to say, they have really turned things around! Both experiences were so much better, and I'm happy to give credit where credit is due. Our first visit back was a great experience! We sat at the bar, and the bartender was fantastic! It was an extremely busy night, but what really stood out was her communication. She let us know upfront that the kitchen was running behind and that it might be about 30 minutes before we could place a food order. We really appreciated her honesty and keeping us informed. We didn't mind waiting because we knew what to expect. Sure enough, about 30 minutes later, we were able to order, and our food came out fresh, piping hot, and delicious! Great service and communication made all the difference! Our second visit was another online pickup order, which was exactly where things went wrong during our previous experience. We ordered two burgers and fries, with a scheduled pickup time of 7:05 PM. We arrived around 7:15 PM, and to our pleasant surprise, our food was already ready! The staff even took the extra step to double-check our order to make sure everything was correct. Such a simple gesture, but one that really shows attention to detail and customer service. I'm a firm believer in giving businesses a second chance, and I'm so glad we did! The food has always been something we've enjoyed, but seeing the improvement in service, communication, and efficiency makes the experience that much better. It's not always about everything going perfectly, but how a business handles things when they're busy or running behind. These last two visits showed us that they've made positive changes, and we truly appreciate it. Thank you, Village Bottle Shop, for turning our previous disappointment into two great experiences! We're happy to be back and look forward to returning again!

BRUNCH REVIEW! Food: 5/5…read moreService: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Located inside of Foodland Farms Kapolei, this place is easy to find. Lots of parking available as well since this is part of a shopping center. Made reservations via OpenTable and glad that I did because I noticed this place was pretty busy for brunch. I believe brunch is on Saturdays and Sundays. My party and I shared the Korean Chicken & Mochi Waffles and the Two Eggs with Anykine Fried Rice and Portuguese Sausage. We also ordered a bottle of mimosa to share. Portions aren't really big but this was enough food for the both of us. Food was delicious and we recommend ordering them. We didn't realize that the spread for the mochi waffles was wasabi-based, so beware if you aren't a fan of wasabi. Our server was friendly and helpful. I loved the ambiance of this place. Great place for families and catching up with friends. I recommend stopping in!

I came here to celebrate my best friend's birthday, and we left so utterly disappointed that none…read moreof us will ever return. I highly recommend avoiding this place if you are planning a special occasion--or any meal at all. Our experience was a disaster from start to finish: * The Birthday Guest's Meal: The birthday guy ordered the steak frites. The center of his steak arrived raw, and his fries were soggy, limp, and stringy. * The Burger: My other friend ordered a burger. It was entirely uninspired and nothing special; he ended up leaving a quarter of it behind on the plate. * The Anykine Salad: (MORE LIKE WASABI KINE SALAD) I initially ordered the Anykine Salad with chicken and absolutely hated it. The entire dish tasted overwhelmingly of nothing but wasabi, and the chicken was so incredibly dry it could have been a prop. * The Dessert: Our server was kind enough to take the salad away. Because I felt awkward sitting at the table without food, I decided to try the chocolate mud pie as a replacement. It was severely freezer-burned and so rock-hard that trying to cut it with a steak knife nearly split the ceramic plate. Nobody at the table enjoyed it and since we paid for it, ate what we could handle, and we left a quarter of it behind yet again. The only saving grace was our server, who was attentive enough to clear the inedible dishes. However, the kitchen's performance was completely unacceptable. I feel terrible for bringing my best friend here for his birthday and subjecting him to such a miserable experience. Save your money and go somewhere else that actually cares about food quality.

Something that our group religiously gets is the garlic fries, ta always ordered by at least one person. Because they have high ceilings, sound travels very fast even if there are only a few people. Their food/drink menu is not vast but it is very fitting for a cafe. They have unique flavors and if you are into creme brulee, they have multiple food and drink options that you can choose from. The service workers are always kind and helpful when you have questions or need suggestions. They also bring you the food when it's ready with help of a number/card stand. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Kapolei

My husband and I started with a beer and a cocktail with the crab artichoke dip. The appetizer was delicious and hot. We ran out of bread and were able to get another serving of house bread easily and quickly. Beers tried were: Howzit's Hawaiian Time, and Hana Koa's Rice Breaker x2. He enjoyed both. Cocktails tried were: Thai Gimlet, Doctor's Orders, and a tequila cocktail that a regular suggested a float of mezcal with. All were delicious, unique, and approachable. I've managed a few bars, and I can say with full confidence that their cocktails are fairly and affordably priced, delicious and well built. For our entrees, we enjoyed the Chicken Parmesan (husband) and Seafood pan roast. My husband left nothing on his plate, and I asked for a takeout container for the remnants of my sauce- it was THAT GOOD. Our experience, dishes, and beverages from Kalapawai Kapolei has always left us happy and full, the staff is why we keep coming back. Props to everyone and thank you for our wonderful experience on our rare night out

You can get ground steak mixed with bone marrow for $17 plus fries at Burger Bar IN WAIKIKI. How could a boxed burger possibly be more expensive in Kapolei? Fries would have been an added cost.

Until one day we grabbed dinner here with another family and I had to eat here, and I was shocked in the best way. I scanned the menu for something I could eat thinking I'm only eating fries, but then I saw the grilled cheese....and then I saw additional toppings are no extra charge?! And they serve mushrooms?! I added on that protein with veggies with ridiculous excitement. While waiting for the food, I really do appreciate that you can see it all being made, so I'm surprised no one talks about it for it's apparent freshness. And comparing the price for what you get, I hope they continue to stick around. The aesthetic of the place just screams old hospital with all the bright lights and white and red, and it kind of hurt my eyes so I'll eat here again, just not stick around. Call me crazy, but I liked the grilled cheese. Everything was smashed well that allowed the bread to melt together and be held by the cheese. I also appreciate the mushrooms being added and everything was good for the price. Why did I take a star off? Just needs a little more work cleaning. When we went, there was no one inthere, so there's no excuse for the kids chair being dirty with soda spilled on it and it was there before we walked in for who knows how long. They definitely had enough time to go over the store and prep for the rush, or in this case, for two families to come in and eat.
