Ambiance - AMAZiNG, Service - Spectacular, Food - ONO!!!!. Thank you for accommodating our group this evening

I enjoyed brunch here more than dinner. Both menus were limited and items seemed overpriced. I did enjoy their brunch mimosa flight. Service was good and the environment is trendy. I just don't think their menu made it worth returning. read more

Food was fantastic! They were able to accommodate for our party of 11 on the same day. Granted, the phone customer service was not the best. However, restaurant service was great and food was delicious. Parking is easy because it's inside of a mall. Entrances through Food Land and via parking lot side. Restrooms are away from the restaurant so don't forget to ask for the code. read more

Amazing food and service! Jay our server was awesome!!! Super friendly, knowledgeable and such a delight! Loco moco was my fave!!! A must try!!! Can't wait to try the items on the lunch and dinner menu!!! read more

One of my new fave spots! Reasonable priced for the menu. Very awesome menu that changes! It's always been so good. Love the ambiance of the place and it has a wonderful drink selection! read more

Yummy food and drinks! Try the mimosa flight and the breakfast bowl. Off the beaten path so we didn't have to fight crowds. Lovely staff.

I really want to like this place. After eating there twice this week, I felt like I needed to review this restaurant. The ambiance is nice and location is convenient. However, I feel the food & menu is off the mark. The pizza dough tasted like it was frozen dough, the toppings were OK but nothing special. The only real green was one salad offering. The risotto was super thick & too rich. Their take on chicken & waffles was nothing special for the price however the sesame butter was an interesting twist. The loco moco was different but lacked the gravy. Since I went with a party of 6 and a party of 5, the only thing that people raved over was the clam Chowder. Everything else that the 2 groups ordered was fairly mediocre including their service for a restaurant of this caliber. read more

Thought I would give this place another shot since the food is amazing but, there's an employee grace who made our experience very unpleasant, we had an issue with our meal and was trying to get an issue resolved. Before we had finished talking she had walked away from us, she ran frantically around the restaurant. Instead of trying to resolve the problem she instead tried to find someone else to blame, Very unprofessional I will not be coming back. read more

DIVINE! Entirely creative and innovative! Kudos to the chef! The Memorial Day short ribs with creamed succotash was very light and incredibly tasty! The Maui beet salad is a MUST! The creamy goat cheese underneath the beets made the dish, sliced radishes, oh I'm salivating just thinking about it! This was our best meal on Oahu and possibly ever! Soooo memorable! Great staff too! Lovely interior! Ohhh and the dessert Lemoncello cream with divine honey! Five star! read more

We were seated 30 minutes after our reservation time. We were told they were running behind and if they were that far behind they should have called us. It doesn't help that we were starving and the waiting area is literally a grocery store. Once we sat down our experience improved. Service is off as we got our appetizer before we got our drink. Good news is food was the highlight so for a restaurant that's good as the rest can be improved more easily. Aranchini was 10/10, kampachi was 10/10 and burger was 8/10. We might try brunch but probably won't try for dinner unless service and timing drastically improves. read more

The seafood platter appetizer was excellent. Their mochi waffle was perfectly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Only complaint was the food seemed to be over salted. read more

We got the mochi waffle with blueberry sauce and whipped butter cream, clam chowder and short rib loco moco. All was delicious. The clam chowder was rich and filling, very flavorful, probably could be a meal on its own if your not too hungry. The mochi waffle was chewy and slightly sweet (don't need to add maple syrup). the short ribs were tender and the fried rice was bomb. All the portions were a good size. High quality at a very reasonable price read more

I love this spot for happy hour 2-5p. Nice clean aesthetic, good service, good food, and good prices. A plate of chicken wings is only $5! Can't beat that. The chicken liver pate spread w sourdough is yummy, but I ask for the tomato jam on the side because it's quite salty. I love bringing people here for an easy spot to access for good bites. read more

We decided to try take out. I arrived after and gave my order: oysters ahi tartar lobster roll clam chowder entre salad About 20 minutes later I was called to be told that they do not prepare oysters to go, even though they are on the take out menu. They hadn't even dropped my ticket yet, as the cashier had to to retake the order. The ahi tartar was pretty much like beef tartar, but without the taste of what makes up tartar: mustard, egg, Worcestershire, etc. Nice size portion but taste is MEH. The lobster roll came on a brioche roll. It is a nice size portion but again without much added to the lobster, leaving not much taste. It seemed to have a fennel/anise hint which I didn't favor. I also think a savory type of roll or one less sweet would pair better. The chowder has an excellent taste. I wish they sold a larger portion. The salad was very good, and the dressing paired nicely. I haven't mentioned that I have had 5 restaurants here and been on the product advisory board for Proctor and Gamble. The staff is friendly but had to ask lots of questions to the manager. May or may not return in 6 months read more

Love eating here. Great addition to Kahala. Everything I've eaten here has been delicious! Great menu selection, excellent service and ambience. read more

I came here for my 21st birthday brunch and I loved it! Very good customer service and our server James, gave me a complimentary lavender shot since he saw it was birthday. It was good and really kind of him. We had the ahi tartar for starters and I had the mushroom risotto for my main dish. Both were very delicious and I would totally recommend them. I also had the mimosa flight which had pineapple, coconut, and orange flavored mimosas. I ended up really liking the pineapple and orange mimosa the most. Overall I really enjoyed this place and the interior is super pretty 10/10 recommend! read more

Located inside Foodland Kahala. The place is pretty small but it's definitely a cute place to dine in. Service was okay for the most part but could've been better as our waitress hardly checked up on us. As for the food, my best friend and I ordered buttermilk pancakes because we had a sweet tooth. The pancakes come with blueberries. It was alright. There wasn't anything special about them in comparison to any average pancake. Overall, I recommend this place for anyone who wants a quick breakfast/brunch. I probably won't come back for breakfast in awhile but I'd definitely want to try out their lunch or dinner menu at my next visit. read more

Had a chicken caper dish that was not good and super pricy. My boyfriend had a burger that was dry and really bad. The vibes here are very mediocre and the menu is ridiculously overpriced. read more

Oh my first time trying this place and we are still waiting for our food a good 30min. They still have a handful of tables open, making the assumption it's reserved. During our wait, 3 people waltz to the bar area to order drinks and then this is a kicker they stood in the middle of the floor pretty much hovering over peoples back at the bar. We literally seen a handful of employees and I believe she is the manager or lead host on the floor and no one made the attempt to have them move to the side. Well the food has not come out yet to provide a review but wouldn't recommend this place at all. read more

Ive tried everything on the menu and everything is good but my favorite is chicken and waffles..it is so delicious you must try!!! Service is always excellent for an overall great dining out experience..et al is a great choice. read more

A very good place to hang out! And good cocktails Make sure you get a reservation, especially during the weekends. read more

Second time here and I absolutely love the food and drinks here. The vibe of the restaurant is so chill. Great for a nice dinner with friends or even a date night. The windows let in good natural light especially nearing sunset. Hope to try breakfast or brunch sometime. Staff are super knowledgeable about their menu and loved their input into their preferences. read more

This review is strictly for the pizza. I'm a pizza guy. I eat pizza between 3-5 times every week. I'm not exaggerating. I enjoy all styles when done well. I typically like thin, crispy crusts, but I'm also very excited about well-executed Chicago style deep dish, New York style, Detroit style, or even the usual hand-tossed variety. The key with making an excellent pizza pie is the crust [PERIOD] You can have the finest quality toppings in the world, but if the crust doesn't pan out, neither will the whole pizza experience. Et al's crust was not good. It was a medium thickness crust with no character of note. It was almost as if cardboard had been used to carry the toppings into my mouth. I've eaten frozen pizzas with a better medium thickness crust (DiGiorno's comes to mind, much better). Et al's toppings were of decent quality, but cheese was put on top of the raw veggies. When this happens, the moisture from the veggies pools onto the pizza instead of getting evaporated away (I learned this the hard way in my first attempt to make a supreme Chicago style pizza). I had large pools of moisture on the Et al pizza...also not gonna help the already dismal crust situation. Not trying to be too hard on these guys. I'm sure some of their food is top-notch. They have really high reviews, but I haven't seen a pizza review. If I had, I probably would have ordered something else. Also, this restaurant has a diverse menu and definitely doesn't specialize in pizza. I'm sure that has something to do with my experience. read more

My friend and I sat at the bar and were lucky enough to be served by Jay & Prestyn! We had the short rib arancini, mushroom risotto, & pappardelle bolognese. Accompanied by a coconut mimosa, passionfruit mojitos, & the rum runner. All were amazing! Jay & Prestyn were so fun to talk to! Love coming here... always impressed by the food, drinks, & staff! Mahalo! read more

I really wanted to try their dessert since it was my birthday.. the server instead of asking if we wanted dessert or anything else he just gave us the bill, that is the first time I never tried a dessert on my birthday, that was supposed to be my cheat day and I was so disappointed read more

Food and service were great. Atmosphere cool too. Would definitely patronize again. Lives the prosecco with the heart! read more

The next best thing to eating the fresh flavors at a farm to table restaurant, is being a grocery store to table.. et al. is literally inside the Foodland Farm grocery store. At this restaurant, you will find food presentation comes out like the chef is also artist, so no, it is not just deli take out on a china plate. If you are an IG foodie photo snapper, you will love the photogenic details in the presentation, stacking the layered natural colors of purple lavender tinted in the cocktails, the purple flower petals ornamenting the deserts or local fruits like Bananamisu with coffee syrup. Colin Sato, formerly of Beachhouse at the Moana knows how to cater to the multi-verse of cultures in Hawaii..banh min for breakfast, gourmet loco loco, salmon, fresh poke to short rib arancini, comfort food burgers with Hawaiian beef.. the menu is varied and interesting. The happy hour menu offers gourmet experience at a better value and without the crowds. The cocktails anytime are colorful without being Hawaii kitsch. Here is a toast to the little details, like I like the friendly size of the crushed ice... The Sunday brunch I will not describe, as there is already a wait list and we'd like to still be able to pop in for ulu hashbrowns spontaneously. The place is gaining in popularity, and there is now often a waitlist for brunch. I will just say the fresh coconut chia pudding is a clever digestion aid.. and the omelet is light and fluffy as the Japanese influence is tasted in the texture might make the wait worth it, You could wait at the bar for your table to be ready.. as the bartenders know their stuff... adding clever twists suited for Hawaii's climate and love of flowers. There is a bar if you want to watch the show, or a community table if you are open for spontanious connections, or you could score a glass of ice wine for a mere $75. To say it scales here would be an understatement. You can pop in for coffee, or celebrate that big day with the new graduate, the bridesmaid party, the 3 generation grandfather birthday...whatever that maybe it could scale here. You will probably need a reservation for dinner. I love the high ceilings, the vaulted doors, the speakeasy entry, the easy parking if you can find the front door..., Also the wait staff has that aloha chill service that is friendly, present, but not pushy. You are allowed to linger, to celebrate, to finish a deep conversation, or even just be... The kind of place you can go solo, .sit alone and muse over your day and enjoy a moment of peace and serenity before shopping at the adjacent grocery store. That's right, you just exit the et. al and enter the flower section of the Foodland Farms...You never feel like your table is waiting for the turn over. Harold, our waiter today was fresh faced and delightful in his interactions, yet knowledgable about the menu and ingredients, enthusiastic about offering his recommendations, and unobtrusive in his approach and attitude and gave equal respectful attention to the women and men at the table. We not only enjoyed learning what beans were being used today in the house blend, or that we could order a double espresso with a lemon wedge, but we love it when the hot coffee came quickly and hot, cold gelato came out icy on a hot day.... the used dishes just disappeared without a fuss. Harold gets double thumbs up today and we hope to see him next time! We love the cool air temperature, and the lighting.. as well as the decor touches like the blue and white checked palake Traditional hawaiian cowboy fabric backing the bar stools, draped with printed lei looks like any local Hawaiian slack key musician would feel at home here after a gig, despite the fact this is actually a chain restaurant owned by FoodLand. So, thank you et al at Kohala for offering new relaxed quality dining choices when so many old favorites have closed during this time. We appreciate the opportunity to savor the flavors of our local chefs, in new settings, and glad to see opportunities for outside of folks working and eating Ono grinds without having to commute to Waikiki. Best of luck to you all! Mahalo! read more

I was wanting to try this place for a while, and the food did not disappoint (me)! I went with a friend. Upon walking in, we both said something about how nice the decor and setup of the restaurant was. Between the two of us we shared the arancini, and we shared the cheesecake/mascarpone bar for dessert. I got the short rib loco moco and lavender lemonade for myself. They got the burger, and a vanilla iced coffee, The lemonade was delicious. It came with lots of ice (which I'm not usually a fan of), but the flavor was strong, so it was good even when the ice watered it down. The arancini was very good, and so was the loco moco. My friend tried and enjoyed both as well. I just felt that I basically ordered the same thing twice, just in ball form as an appetizer, since the ingredients are basically the same in both dishes. Either way they both tasted good. My friend did not particularly enjoy their burger though. They said that it was just an average burger, not bad but not great. Their iced coffee was unsweetened, so they had to ask for simple syrup, but it was better after adding it in. They did not finish their burger or coffee though. I, on the other hand, ate every last bite of my meal. The mascarpone bar was also delicious. I enjoyed it and ate most of it myself. I did feel bad that I enjoyed my meal, and my friend did not enjoy theirs. I will come back though, and definitely try other items. Hopefully I can bring my friend back to order something else off their menu too! read more

Second visit. Second time disappointed. Coffee was lukewarm and bitter. Ordered the softshell crab benedict. It was served cold and the crab was not crispy. This restaurant excites me with its vision and creativity. It is so disappointing to find that their execution falls short. read more

Beautiful interior attached to the nicest, newest Foodland on the island. Amazing food. Not a ton of vegetarian options but the ones that they have are absolutely delectable. Excellent service. Wonderful for lunch or dinner. Their risotto is the stuff of legend. read more

Pancakes here are excellent. The braised ribs loco moco was only ok but the omelette was amazing. For the prices you pay your expect better service. Server was nice but super slow. The mimosas tasted really good, but not worth the price. read more

We stopped here to kill some time and have a drink with something small to eat. We ordered oysters and clam chowder and and they both came out so fresh and delicious. The food around us looked so enticing as well. We'll definitely be back to try more. read more

I really wanted to try out the restaurant inside of née foodland Kahala market so I went solo and it was definitely worth it. I made reservations online using open table for 1pm. I arrived around 12:45 pm and I was told table won't be ready until 1 pm so I asked if I could sit at the bar and she let me seat right away at the bar. Service at the bar was great. Prompt and good service. I ordered their Mai Tai, Oysters for app, and then mushroom truffle risotto for main course. Cocktail was well crafted and tasty, app oysters were fresh and delicious with their Yuzu sauce on the side! Mushroom risotto was great with touch of truffle taste but no actual truffle on the top. It had great volume and I was super full at the end. Decor is nicely decorated and it is comfortable. Such a great place to dine at. I will be back for sure! Oh make sure you reserve ahead online or by calling because they are often very busy and full. read more

We tried et al for lunch and were not impressed. Small portions, high prices and small menu. The beet salad was extremely skimpy, the risotto was mushy, the cobb salad was small with a overly bitter calamansi dressing (almost inedibly sour), and my burger was so-so (Counter burger, across the street, is far superior). While we were looking forward to a new eatery in Kahala, et al is gonna need to up their game before we return. read more

I ordered the chucked oysters and they were very delicious. Although it comes 3 to a plate I wish there was more for the price of $13. Mochi waffles were delicious, very fluffy with a tender bite and the blueberry compote wasn't too sweet it was just right with complimenting the taste together with the whipped cream. I also got the crab cake Benedict, it's a whole crab about 6inches wide and it was delicious. I loved the aesthetics in the restaurant and it's connected with a grocery mart. The bathrooms are located outside the vicinity which is a downer but the food was great. read more

I've been wanting to try this place. We got a reservation on a Friday at 730. Our table wasn't ready so we were seated at a high top in the bar area. The place is small - maybe seats 30-40 so reservations are a must. The decor is really nice with high ceilings and pretty bar. We had the seafood platter which had oysters, shrimp cocktail, ahi sashimi and poisson cru. Everything was fresh and the poisson cru with coconut milk and lime was delicious. We had to ask for more chips though. I had the burger with fries which was thick, juicy, cooked medium like I ordered. My cousin had the lamb and raved about it. My other cousin ordered the pork chop and also loved it. Hubby got the papardelle pasta with bolognese and really enjoyed it. For dessert, the chocolate pb textures...omg..deadly delicious. Crunchy brownie bites with peanut butter. Yes do it! The service was nice, although it took a while to get served. I'll be back to try the happy hour. read more

Got takeout of the tako pasta, kabocha pasta, and the mushroom risotto. The pastas were mediocre - the citrus flavor (? didn't know that was in the pasta) was overpowering. The risotto was good but not worth the 20 min extra wait for the takeout. read more

If you're looking for our unique breakfast menu, you found the place. Foods great as is the service.

We must have caught them on a bad night. We had a reservation, but still had to wait 20 minutes for our table. No apologies offered but blamed it on people not leaving. Clam chowder was good but very scant serving. I had one small clam and more bread than chowder. The rest of the dinner was very good...at least for us. We could overhear the diners next to us were complaining about poor service. Diners on the other side had to call the waiter back to take their order. This was our second visit and we were excited because our first visit a few weeks ago was great. I hope they can address the problems because this can be a really nice place on this side of the island. read more

Great ambiance. Great selection! Ordered the catch 38 and Hager steak! Both tasty. Service was excellent.
