    We went to Medici Supper Club to hear The Hot Club of Hulaville. The space is intimate and we sat next to the stage, by the piano. There were clear plastic curtains on moveable stands on the stage to distance the performers from the audience. COVID-19 check-in consisted of taking our temperature; since we prepaid, there was no need to fill in any forms. We shared a table with three ladies from North Carolina so there wasn't much in the way of distancing at each table. The food was served on paper dinnerware and this, although understandable, probably contributed to my overall impressions of the cuisine. We started with a bowl of soup (Wild Thai Chicken) that tasted like Penang curry; followed by a simple salad with an Italian vinaigrette dressing. This was followed by a small bowl of Moroccan Vegetable Tagine, which was a mélange of vegetables in a sweet but savory gravy. Shepherd's pie was next; this to me was the most successful of the dishes; it was a square of pie and was very tasty. Finally, a slice of lemon cake with sliced berries and what was described as crème fraiche ... more like a whipped topping to me. One could order wine by the glass or go to the bar and select bottles. I chose a pinot noir from Bouchard Aine & Fils; a very pleasant wine for $20.83. Wines by the bottle were "the deal", a glass cost $8 and cocktails were almost double that. Now, the reason we came .... The Hot Club of Hulaville. That night it was a trio and they played for a little more than two hours with a break between sets. Nothing beats live, acoustic music. The sound was excellent, not too loud (this is coming from a musician), with good clarity. Five stars for the entertainment. So, my impressions ... the food is good and would be better served on dinnerware, not paper plates. They were short-handed two servers and the place was essentially full so I give them credit for the service provided. You can't beat the cost of wine by the bottle; there's nothing special but for $20, you cannot find fault. They plan more frequent events, I would return without hesitation, depending on the artist.

    DO NOT GO THIS PLACE Terrible experience I ever had I attached the screenshot of email I got. Basically they misunderstood that I'm other guy who did rude thing. And they did reject to go dinner very in advance even thought we bought tickets 1month ago. Farther to that, they said something nasty to me. I felt like they re racist. And after I did prove that I'm not that by proving my personal information, and they stop replying. I was so confused and sad because I and my girlfriend were planning to go this dinner and exited to go since 1 month ago. I haven't got apologies and even I haven't get response to my email,,, What a horrible company and person.

    Of course I recommend spending an evening at Medici's Supper Club. The variety and quality of entertainment is pretty good, if I do say so myself! The ambiance is lovely and servers are attentive. There are not many spaces that provide an intimate listening experience, and we are grateful for this one. Mahalo, Tim and Carolyn Stanton.

    The venue is intimate and it allows you to see and meet the musician you plan to go see. As for the food that is what made it go from 5 to 4 stars. First of all the food is served on paper goods. It was ver inconsistent with the serving. Our friends go like a few spoons of soup where it was for a child. The potatoes looked well done for me and better for others. I couldn't eat the top it was burnt. I will eat the next time before i come here. I don't know if they think it out the different flavors when you eat their 4 course meal. It didn't settle well with my stomach.

    This is my second time came to Medici's and I was extremely upset how they handle covid protocols. In my opinion, they should be closed because they don't care about the government issued required COVID guidelines. We were informed by the owner that we were the first ones who booked the tickets so they gave us the best seats, balcony. But in my opinion, balcony is the worst seats because we can't really see the performance at all. The balcony is very small and they squeezed five seats. Before we arrived, there were already a party of three seated. We were seated with those people we don't know. They shouldn't seat us with other three people in such a small shared table in the first place, and they didn't offer any plastic barrier which against covid protocol. I talked to one of the waiters and they finally put a plastic barrier between us, but the table part was not protected. I felt extremely uncomfortable but since we already paid the tickets and they cannot refund us. The tickets indicated the Honolulu jazz quartet started at 6:30 pm, but the bassist and pianist arrived around 7:10 pm. And the performance started around 7:30 pm. I'm a musician myself and being late for performance without any explanation or apology are unacceptable. The performance is great, but the saxophone player isn't the best, he couldn't even play the heads in when played a Chick Corea tune very well, which again makes me doubt their professionalism. The foods are very mediocre, and they definitely don't worth $59 per person. I definitely do not recommend this place and I really hope the owner could take covid seriously.

    Aloha I attended my first show Saturday night to watch and listen to Johnny Valentine Great little club the show came with a delicious meal served buffet style plenty to eat. The bar was convenient and not over priced. I'll definitely go back again and I'm driving in from the west Side

    Food is always great. Great local artist at affordable prices. Awesome acoustics and ambience. We have been here FIVE times now. And plan to keep coming back as long we see jazz and Blues offerings!

    Lovely, cozy little setup. When you walk in, you feel like you're entering someone's home--fake flowers and oil paintings everywhere. The rug going up the narrow stairway creates this warm, comforting "grandma's house" sort of feeling; however, if you are in a wheelchair, you will most definitely have difficulty accessing the venue. They offer lots of amazingly talented jazz musicians. I got the opportunity to catch Gypsy 808 there. They did a superb job that night. Medici's is a small intimate venue. There's some space for swing dancers off to the side near the stairs up to the bar, but sometimes, the dancers move toward the middle of the stage which might block your view of the band. It seems like the people who come here are regulars. Everyone seemed to know each other. There was a moment where a woman started watching a video on her phone in between songs, and she was immediately shushed by some audience members. The room has greatly amplified acoustics, so please be respectful of the band; speak quietly, don't answer calls, and put your phone on silent. As mentioned earlier, there's a bar at the top of a couple of steps in a loft type of area. They have very cheap drinks and cocktails. A bottle of cab is only $20 and a glass is only $6! Love that! The whisky sour was delicious although, I can't remember how much I paid... Maybe I had too many... Overall, it was a lovely evening. Next time, I need to try the buffet!

    Attended a private function here. Its a arts/music school. The venue is very quaint. Its opened on friday and Saturday to promote new jazzy bluesy new musicians. The food is not bad either. Good place to consider for private function with ample parking.

    Medici's is a gem of a live music venue located on the 2nd floor of Manoa Marketplace (and connected to the Manoa School of Art and Music). This past Saturday, my BF and I went to check out the Honolulu Jazz Quartet with special guest, DeShannon Higa. The band was simply amazing! The acoustics in the room are superb!! The owner and bartender were very welcoming!!! The room seems to fit about 35 or less on the lower level. There are mostly a couple rows of folding chairs and a good number of chairs around little tables, which is perfect if you plan to drink and/or eat. Also, the fliers say to get there early for the best seats but it seems that you can call ahead to reserve a table, which is a plus if you end up going with a small group. The upstairs level features a bar in one area, and a banquette table with seats that look down at the band. We were told they don't always sell alcohol but this past Saturday they had some hard liquor (vodka but i can't remember what else), a few bottled beers (Guinness and Angry Orchard Cider are 2 that I recall) and wine. However, Medici's is also BYOB ($5 corkage fee/bottle or 6 pack), which really helped me since I'm pinching pennies. It's also convenient that Safeway is around the corner because during intermission, my BF ran over to pickup a 2nd bottle of wine. Their food selection is also worth checking out. They offer an all-you-can-eat salad bar ($15, also included desserts). The salads included greens but also couscous, deli meats and cheeses, breads, etc. They have pizza at $5/slice (we got veggie - it wasn't the best but it was satisfactory). And, they'll do an entree of the day - on Saturday it was Moroccan beef served with a rice side dish ($12); I think that also came with a naan bread and chutney. Next time I'll try the entree! Cover was $20 but I don't know if that varies by night. Please check this place out! It's so great to find a sweet setting for live music and super fun to head into Manoa. Their event calendar can be found at www.manoaschoolofartandmusic.com but the owner mentioned they'd have a dedicated Medici's website up soon.

    I loved this place. With a mature quaint atmosphere the Jazz performances are amazing and sound system is mint.

This was a year ago, I didn't get a chance to until recently. I wanted to check out Sweet Mango's showroom which happens to be at The Pineapple Patio. From what I read, they do pop up events at The Pineapple Patio. The location of The Pineapple Patio is on South King St. right after the pet hospital and Central Pacific Bank. Stay on your far left lane as South King St. is one way. Make a left when you see State Farm Insurance. What I dislike about this place is the parking lot. Parking is very limited and very tight. I had a hard time parking my vehicle and hard time getting out. Once you find parking, you hit the buzzer for your pop up business and someone will come down to open the glass door for you. Walk up the stairs and you will see all the different vendors. During my visit to The Pineapple Patio, I had to pick up my son and was in a rush. I didn't get to browse around to the other vendors. What caught my eyes were all the plant and succulent across of the Sweet Mango's showroom, I wanted to check it out but had to leave right after. I will check it out when I have more time. Sweet Mango's products and showroom is so neat and organized. I loved the pineapple design prints on most of the merchandise, it is so nice and colorful. I had to get a pineapple print Turkish towel in green for me and a towel for my mom for Mother's day. Besides Sweet Mango Hawaii, some of the Vendors at the event were Tidepool Love, Kahulale'a, Aloha Dreamboard, and The Writing Desk. I read that it is best to check Instagram/social media's Pineapple Patio page for the upcoming events. What a great idea and great place to get your shopping done!

Look for the pineapple sign on the left side of King Street. There are about 10 parking stalls underneath the patio and street parking on King Street. This place is used for small start up businesses such as clothing and jewelry. It's a good place to have pop up events on the open patio or in their room. Another thing that I'm thinking about is possibly holding a bridal shower here in the future. Looks like a perfect venue to rent out and cater food at. (Not necessary to get catering, but definitely an option) They also rent out their furniture and plants that they have showcased around the patio. Super cute place and hope to be back soon!

    As a child, I remember admiring and wondering who lived in this estate that borders Kapiolani Park…read more It was once known as the Winstead House that was built around the early-1900's. The estate was huge as it included horse stables, garages for horse-drawn carriages (later for automobiles), surrounded by undulating and well-manicured landscaping. The estate once extended from the intersection of Diamond Head Road and Paki Avenue to Kapahulu Avenue, around where Jefferson Elementary now stands. Back in 1992, the house was dedicated to the City and County of Honolulu. During 2003 - 2006, the C&C did a lot of renovation to the property and had a lot of concerns about its maintenance and use. Prior to its dedication by the Winstead descendants and the C&C renovation of this property, the Diamond Head Neighborhood Board held community meetings or gatherings. This property was also used as a backdrop to some local television shows..uh, anyone remember Magnum P.I.? To date, I don't know whether or not they have been permitted to continue using the space as such. Currently, there are offices that occupy its basement area by the Parks & Recreation administrative staff. All I can say is that if I worked in this facility, it would be very difficult to get any work done. I'd be wowed by the cool, gentle breezes, sunny blue skies and close proximity of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach. But, that's what makes this property perfect for the Parks & Recreation to own and manage! #306

    Place is AWESOME!!! I totally forgot about this location for events too! Shoots!…read more They can hold over 300 people sitting side by side for a screening, move or even music or dancing. But they can also rearrange a sitting arrangement so there is open areas for people to stand and mingle. Then they have the lounge area. That's our favorite! The couches are enormous and the set up is immaculate! They had floor walkers and escorts who helped everyone find seats or direct them where to go. That's as a good thing. Usually m, people have to figure out what to do or where to go at these events, no?! Lol. But this was a once in a lifetime experience for us and it was AWESOME! Of course my son didn't want to watch himself on screen, but, we all loved it! He did well. In fact, they ALL DID! Every single film was done excellent! I wish we could've stayed for the whole thing, but unfortunately we had to leave early because the kids had school the next day. So we left around 9pm. Maybe next time we'll have a better chance in watching our son on screen again. Soon! For sure... Ok that's about it! OH! And the restroom! Oh my... it's an experience to have. Lol! It's amazing! One door for ALL to enter. Then as you pass the main door, your in the lobby of the restroom. Like they have in fancy theaters or auditoriums or hotels. Yup! Only difference is, there's no seats or chairs to lounge on. There's a long marble counter top with about 5 individual sinks. Each side accessible for anyone to wash up. Mirrors along the wall. And then the MENS DOOR for their restroom is on the left and the WOMENS on the right. Ever the bathroom stalls were cozy. Toilet seats were nice and comfy, not those public restroom toilets. But the hotel kine. Just without the extra fancy buttons. It's definitely somewhere anyone should go and see. Especially when they host an event there. OK NOW IM DONE! Thanks for reading!

    This Courtyard is like a chameleon!…read more It becomes an outdoor ice Skating Rink in the Hawaiian "winter"; changes into a open-air movie theater on the second Thursday of the month when the weather is warmer; and converts to a concert venue on the third Wednesday of the month during the spring, summer, and autumn. At other times, people enjoy this space as a Yoga studio/art gallery. Ward Village makes really good use of this area. Chairs are set up for the movies and concerts. A gigantic tent is erected when the weather is suggesting rain. Otherwise, the audience enjoys gentle trade winds, silhouettes of palm trees, and views of fluffy clouds, gorgeous sunsets, and sometimes... the silvery moon. There's a water feature on the far side of the courtyard, so if the sound bothers you, sit nearer to the entrance and away from the wall. Most events are free - just look for the community events online and print out your tickets! If the event you're interested in is a Brunch, the fee will be posted an you'll get a chance to try specialties of local restaurants, using a ticket system. There's ample free parking nearby and a beautiful, clean restroom on the ground floor of the "IBM Building". The co-ed sinks are a great idea for efficient use of this facility! Check it out!!!
