    Great service, fabulous menu options, plus flavor and presentation were on point. Consistently…read moregreat every time I've visited. On top of all that, one of my visits this month was for my birthday with my two teenage kiddos and, even without a kids menu, both were also able to find food they liked!

    Poor poor experience. Me and my fiancé made a reservation for 7:30. Sat at 7:28. Took 15 minutes…read morefor a server to come to our table and speak to us then another 30 to even order our drinks. Total hour and a half wait for our dinner to even get to us. Extremely difficult to get the server to come to us to take any order of any kind. He never even came to ask if our dinner was correct or tasting good. The portions were small and nothing filling. Advertised as fine dining is a joke, obviously must be a regular for a good service. The table next to us, a lovely older couple, had multiple members of the staff come and speak to them and bring them free drinks "from their favorite bartender." I understand the persistence of regulars for an establishment but that is no excuse to ignore and not give the same respect and priority to neighboring tables. I work in the service industry myself and have so much love for it and this place is nothing id ever experienced. Extremely dissatisfied with everything this restaurant had to offer. Will not be returning. Edit: I intend on returning to Apero! The owner reached and sent an amazing message. It has drastically changed my opinion about the establishment and hope to revisit soon!

    This was a pleasantly unexpected play between sweet and savory. Its vegetarian and so delicious.

    These shishito peppers are hands down their top two items in my opinion. The best I've ever had, and I've had them all over Honolulu.

    The food, service, and ambiance are all a 10/10. Our waitress Hannah was FANTASTIC. She was kind,…read morefast, and knowledgeable about the menu. She was genuinely kind and always had a smile. The food was INCREDIBLE. The crab cakes are the best I've ever had in my life, and the catfish po-boy was life changing. The inside of the restaurant has a great feel to it. I would recommend this to anyone.

    Service, atmosphere, waterfront view: all on point…read more Here's what we ordered: Appetizer: STUFFED MUSHROOMS. They were very dry. As if they were sitting under a heat lamp or forgotten in the oven. Flavor of the crab was good, though I think I would have rather had a majority of the cheese on the bottom, mixing with the juices from the mushroom and crab instead of heavily coating the top like a crispy crust. Entrees: SHRIMP RAHKEE. Saw so many good reviews for this. I was underwhelmed and disappointed. The whole thing lacked flavor. I had to shake a generous amount of salt on top and it was still lacking flavor. Shrimp were large and juicy, they just needed more flavor. Sauce was thin, could have been thicker and more complex. All of it was just bland. I ordered this over pasta which was cooked perfectly al dente. For my sides, I got the STUFFED POTATO and ASPARAGUS. Stuffed potato was nothing to write home about-- it also tasted as if it was sitting under a heat lamp or left in the oven a bit too long; flavor wasn't bad, though.. Asparagus was asparagus. Would have preferred a nice crusty bread like a French Bread over the Texas Toast. Not terrible, but not great. My teenager ate up my shrimp. My teenager ordeeed the SHRIMP SALAD. He said "it is what it is." Nothing super special but he didn't really have any complaints. My husband ordered the PORK CHOPS with ASPARAGUS and STEAMED VEGGIES. He really Enjoyed the pork chops and shared a bite with me, which was delicious-- cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. His steamed veggies were dry and asparagus was asparagus. My youngest ordered a KIDS CHEESEBURGER. Unfortunately, much like many places serving a kids cheeseburger-- it was pretty basic. My youngest had a few bites and wasn't interested in finishing it. This is served with chips. I should mention that all of the entrees looked visually tasty and we really wanted to like them. Maybe we were just there on an off night. Our server and everyone working there was very nice and attentive. The owner gave us a hearty smile and good bye. Service itself earned half the rating for me. View of the water was really nice, though I probably won't be back if I find myself in Monroe again.
