I've been thinking "I'd like to try here" long time and finally, I made it for weekend brunch with my husband. Parking is hard to find in downtown. If you're lucky you can get street parking but this time, because of construction signs were there so we parked at the meter parking near the post office where is only one block far from this restaurant. The restaurant is cozy but beautiful interior with based on green and gold color. When we got inside and checked in at the front the staff was very friendly and nice. I ordered Morning Harvest Hash that is so beautiful presentation. It looks very colorful and full of flavor. My husband chose "Christmas Breakfast" and Podmore bacon on side. "Christmas Breakfast" looks so unique and very tasty. We had a bite each dish and both were so good! We were very satisfied our brunch meal. Now, this place became one of my favorite place and highly recommend restaurant ! Well, this time we both ordered coffee but I'd like to try their brunch cocktail next time! read more

Staff was amazing. Drinks were fantastic. Excellent environment. Forgot something while getting a night cap, and they greeted me at the door with it the next day when I came to get it. Very thankful for them. Do yourself a favor and come have a cocktail here. read more

Podmore has been on my list to try for a while and so glad I got to finally check it off! Went for brunch with my friends and had a blast. First off, there is limited street parking but we parked in the post office lot and it's free on Sundays! The atmosphere and overall vibe is very trendy and cool. I also love their comfortable seating options! We started off ordering their fun cocktails. Recommend going with friends and getting a variety to try. They are so fun and unique; definitely instagram worthy! Can't wait to go back and try more! The food was flavorful but some of the portions are a little smaller than others (see pics). I had the chicken and waffles; beautiful presentation,good flavors, but a bit heavy. Our service was attentive and we appreciated their recommendations. Definitely looking forward to going back and trying out their dinner options! read more

Food: We went for brunch and ordered the English breakfast and carbonara pasta. The English breakfast came with a decent amount of food. The best things were the homemade sausage and the black pudding which reminded me of corned beef hash. I didn't care too much for the fried bread. It had a weird oily taste to it. We also got the carbonara which was solid with nice fresh pasta. Service: We were seated immediately and the server was very attentive. Ambiance: The decor inside looks amazing and so fancy. Perfect place to get dressed up and have a cocktail. Price: this is an upscale place so higher prices is expected. The carbonara is worth the price, but I don't think the English breakfast was worth it to me. Next time I'd like to come back at night to try their specialty drinks. read more

Brunch review: First time at this place for brunch. Restaurant is cute and decorative with friendly staff. Staff came frequently and open to thoughts and suggestions. Food: Tagliatelle Carbonara was tasty! You notice the fresh homemade pasta cooked al dente (imo) with bacon. Other members got the full English breakfast, friend chicken/waffles and Christmas breakfast. Parking: come a little early to find open street parking or a close garage Price: for brunch a little pricey but worth it for the atmosphere Will be back to try dinner and the cute & appealing drinks read more

I came here for a client meeting, and it was my first time visiting. My colleague didn't reserve a table in time, so we sat at the bar, which turned out to be a great experience. The bartender was hilarious and gave us amazing recommendations. I ordered the chopped salad with smoked salmon, and it was absolutely delicious! The drinks were fantastic, and it was clear the bartender was a pro who really knew his craft. The atmosphere was lovely--perfect for lunch without being too loud. The staff were attentive, constantly refilling our water and ensuring we were taken care of. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Podmore is a cute and trendy place for brunch or dinner. I went for brunch with a bunch of girlfriends. The atmosphere is what really makes this place so cool. Our food and cocktails were good. I don't remember what my drink was called but I love a clever cocktail and they do a great job with that. My friends got the rock cakes, which are scones. They said they were very good. Service brought the rating down a star. I asked about gluten free options. The server disappeared and didn't come back. Eventually when she did, I asked again and her response was pretty dismissive. She was very inattentive the entire time. I don't need her to be there constantly, but the restaurant was not busy and our waters were empty for a long time. read more

Podmore was one of the few eating establishments open downtown today, Good Friday. Neither one of us had been inside this classy-looking, European style bistro since it opened awhile back. For myself the place looked intimidating when it opened because it not only didn't allow you to see inside because of the half frosted windows but it looked expensive. Well, today we took the plunge and went inside. They no longer have frosted windows and the atmosphere was light and welcoming. The cozy sofa seating was comfortable and both the beverage menu and food menus were ample for the downtown crowd. I had a mimosa to start, followed by the sandwich of the day which was presented on a lightly toasted bun. Inside contained their thick sliced bacon, pickles, pineapple sauce and greens. A unique and tasty combination, although I found the sticky pineapple sauce overpowered the taste of anything else and made the bottom of the sandwich soggy. I felt like a little kid with my sticky fingers when I was done. My friend had this amazing looking salad with avocado and brightly coloured smoked salmon roses around the edge. For desert we both had one scoop of ice cream each: one was chocolate peanut butter and the other consisted of chunks of mango in sticky rice made with coconut milk. Both were positively decadent, but so delicious. Our server, Katie, made the entire meal complete. She was so knowledgeable about every aspect of the menu that she kept us entertained throughout the meal. I do plan on going back again. Thank you Chef and thank you, Katie. read more

Service: Wasnt great.. The server took forever to take our order even though it wasn't busy. Food: ok, idk why it's 4.5 stars!!! Maybe they just had a bad day. We ordered the carbonara because it's their popular dish. They use a thick cut smoky flavored bacon as their meat choice, which is fine, but they put sooooo much bacon that's all I tasted. I couldn't taste the sauce or any flavor the pasta may have had - just tasted bacon in every bite. We also ordered the Lamb with polenta and Ratatouille. The Lamb piece was so small!!! You could finish the Lamb with two bites. Both dishes were $28! Way over priced for the food portions. It is possible this place is mostly known for their drinks, which we didn't get any. The best thing we ordered were the French fries!! They were thick cut and crunchy and they gave a nice portion for that!!! Ambiance: this place is beautiful! It is a gem in dirty downtown. It's colorful and luxurious looking. Overall I would not recommend this place if you are hungry looking for a meal. Portions are small and over priced for a place that's not fine dining. ALSO, they charge a 4% kitchen fee. Hate places that do this ..... Isn't it ILLEGAL??? read more

Cute restaurant with nice decor inside! It's a little unassuming on the outside, but once you step in, the velvety booth seats and light fixtures at the bar made this place classy and refined. Service was excellent. Our server was very nice and seated us at a corner table by the window. Oh yeah make sure you make a reservation. Their Christmas breakfast is definitely worth a try. It's so savory and flavorful with a creamy sauce and lots of veggies on a crispy bun. The coddled egg was good but I realize I still prefer some runniness in my eggs. Also, looking at the other table's caviar addition, I don't think the portion is worth $30 so I'm glad I didn't order that. Husband got the English breakfast. The best thing there is the sweet bread coz I like blood sausages and they did it well. Parking on Sundays can be easy. A lot of lots don't charge until afternoon. Street parking should be free too. I'd recommend this place if you want an elevated breakfast experience different from the typical type of breakfast food. read more

Great vibe for brunch or dinner. Went there on several occasions and the food and cocktails were great. Small portions so keep that in mind. Parking might be challenging but I always got lucky with street parking. read more

I don't know where to start. This place was phenomenal! I haven't been this impressed by drinks and food for a while. My friends and I decided to try Podmore out and we were all floored. I guess we'll start with parking. It's downtown Honolulu so parking is at a premium. My friend and I parked at the first Hawaiian bank building which was only five dollars after hours. We started with the spinach and mushroom toast with bacon, the crispy pork sliders and the smoked salmon dip. The mushrooms melted in our mouths, the crispy pork sliders had an interesting contrast of sweet and salty, and the smoked salmon dip was a salmon dip like no other. No joke, I wasn't expecting much from the salmon dip but I was pleasantly surprised. This first drink I had was "let's go to the movies" the popcorn infused old fashioned paired with the cola cocktail was mind blowing. I also drank the notorious PIG. I never had a drink that was so savory. It was almost as if I was drinking taco. Weird, yet so satisfying haha. My friend had the "life's a peach" which was very refreshing. I had the lamb vindaloo curry and it was amazing. The perfect amount of spice and loaded with meat. My friend had the scallops which were phenomenal as well. Perfectly cooked scallops with a truffle béchamel was a perfect combination. Of we needed dessert, the Banoffee pie was to die for. Everyone needs their own slice because once you take a bite you'll just want more. Last but not least, the service. The service was so great! All the employees work well together and all have excellent recommendations based on what we were already drinking. Good service is hard to find but not here! If you're looking for a nice restaurant or just want a fun night out, definitely check these guys out! read more

If I could give this place 10 stars I would! This was an incredible cocktail and dining experience in Honolulu! We just happened to stop in while trying to find an office. We did not have reservations and we were seated at the bar. What an incredible experience Alex the bartender offered! The menu had some of the most unique concoctions. The flavor profile was spot on from the descriptions! I felt these drinks were Michelin worthy! The ambiance is a bit upscale but still casual. Their dining area is not very large. It is comfortable and inviting. The green seats and purple bar chairs go well together. read more

One of the worst restaurant experiences I've had in over 10 years. We arrived at 8:45 PM and placed our order by 9:00 PM. Two tables seated directly next to us arrived around 9:15 PM and ordered by about 9:30 PM -- a full 30 minutes after we did. Despite that, both tables were clearly prioritized over us, receiving their food about 30 minutes before we did. By the time our food finally came out (around 10:20 PM), those tables were already finishing their meals. The most alarming part: we ordered the pot pie and lasagna(s) 30 minutes before the table next to us ordered the exact same dishes -- yet they received theirs first. There were no menu differences, no special requests, and no reasonable explanation from staff. We were simply left waiting while watching later-arriving tables be prioritized over us as if our order did not matter. And there was no proper apology either. Our server came over and "apologized" so quietly that we could barely hear it, and then nothing else happened -- no manager, no chef, no meaningful acknowledgment of how unacceptable the situation was. The staff's attitude honestly felt like this was normal, even though we were clearly being overlooked while tables that arrived and ordered after us were prioritized. To make it worse, when our food finally arrived it was basically at last call, and the staff started checking in about last orders/dessert like we should be wrapping up. If our food had come out on time, we would have been done eating like the tables that arrived after us and actually had time to consider dessert. Instead, we were left waiting most of the night and then felt rushed at the end, which was incredibly inconsiderate given what had already happened. We were also the only table speaking Japanese in the restaurant and the only visibly Japanese customers seated in that section. With the same dishes, same section, and an earlier order time, it's extremely difficult not to question whether we were treated differently. If this was a mistake, it was an unacceptable one. If it wasn't, that's even worse. Either way, we left feeling uncomfortable and deeply disappointed. read more

This spot exceeded my expectations! We got the shepherds pie, fries, and carbonara. Everything was absolutely delicious and my personal favorite was the carbonara. We ended the meal with a fruit cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and that was very tasty. The ambience of the restaurant is great and you could easily come here for a fancy date night or business meal. Parking can be hard to find, but we got lucky and found a spot right in front of the restaurant. The service was attentive and we had an overall great experience here. I would definitely return on my next visit. I recommend making a reservation as the spots fill up quickly. read more

Came here for brunch. No reservations but they were able to fit us in. I found all the staff to be very friendly and helpful. I had the carbonara, which was decent. I think what I enjoyed the most, though, was the atmosphere. Velvet booths, mirrors, a cool tiled bar, and good background music too. I'm definitely interested in coming back to try the dinner menu. read more

Podmore is Located on Merchant street, this place is so cute and a gem! I met my friends here for a weekend dinner, highly recommend reservations which we had since this place is pretty packed. Parking is street or any downtown parking garage nearby. We had a cute area for the 5 of us and it was so comfy. My friend and I arrived 30 minutes before our reservation and they let us sit down and order drinks while waiting for the rest of our group which was nice. I heard they just redid their menu about a month ago to cater more to local tastes as well as lower prices. I really enjoyed the food here. We ordered some triple cooked chips (french fries) for our appetizer w home made ketchup, so good. For myself i ordered the beer battered fish and chips (The mahi-mahi was really fresh and delicious), the batter was nice and crispy and not too thick, I highly recommend this fish and chips dish. It came w a home made tartar sauce that was different but so good. My friends also enjoyed the Confit Duck leg, Curry, Carbonara pasta, Shepards pie (lamb) and the steak and mushroom pot pie. They have special holiday alcoholic drinks which i enjoyed. I got a Staying Up for Santa peppermint mocha martini, a festive holiday nightcap el dorado 8-year rum, licor 43 chocolate, rumple minze, cold brew. It was good, not too sweet but yummy. The service was really friendly, they did add mandatory tip for our larger group as well as a kitchen fee but we all didn't mind. the atmosphere, service, food was all so wonderful, i would come back again for sure! Two hour limit for the reservation which is more than enough time and understandable since this place is so popular (we actually had 2.5 hours since they sat 2 of us 30 min early). Cant wait to try more food here. read more

It's nice to have a restaurant, cocktail bar/lounge in the lower, diamond head (makai/east) end of downtown Honolulu. Most of the restaurants, bars, lounges and pubs are bunched in the upper side of downtown or Chinatown. Podmore pretty much stands on its own on the opposite end of downtown. It's a nice, chillaxing (chill and relaxing) place with a nice ambiance and feel. The décor is trendy, a modern hip vibe. They have bar seating as well as table seating to accommodate larger parties. They are now open for lunch and weekend brunches. It is a great place for lunch, after-work drinks and dinner. They have a very impressive selection of specialty, house and seasonal cocktails. Their menu is constantly evolving and rotates every so often so there is always something new and indulging. This holds true to both the cocktails and food menu. Presentation is top notch. All dishes and drinks are made with care and are photogenic. Great service and wonderful people! Alan, the head bartender and Rebecca are very friendly and bubbly, an overall comfortable experience if you happen to meet them. Podmore is located on the corner of Alakea and Merchant Streets in the Joseph Podmore Building (across City Financial Tower and First Hawaiian Center). There is no parking garage for this building, however, there are on-street metered parking on Merchant Street in front and Richards Street. There is also parking further away at the post office or on King Street fronting the Iolani Palace grounds (also metered). If you choose to park in the one the nearby building parking garages, it may be a bit more expensive, so you may wanna check out parking rates beforehand. If you work in downtown Honolulu, even better, it is just a walk away from any office for lunch or pau hana. Restrooms are located in the center, back towards the kitchen. Reservations are recommended (even for seating at the bar), and especially if you are in a larger party or happen to plan to go "peak" time for lunch or dinner. read more

Podmore - Shepherds pie - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Some of the worst service I've experienced in HI. Food, drinks, and ambiance are great which is why 2 stars are being given instead of 1. Made a reservation and we were seated on time. After ordering drinks, we were told that most of the entrees were unavailable, which included all the dishes we were interested in. Had we been notified before putting in our drink order, we would have decided to come back another time. Ordered Caeser Salad, Fish and Chips, and Prime Flat Iron Flank Steak. We waited 50 minutes for the Caesar Salad, and 80 minutes for our entrees. The Flat Iron Steak was missing the chimichurri sauce. The table next to us put in their order just a few minutes before us and received their order in a reasonable time. They were finished before we received our Caesar Salad. We were given 2 complimentary small drinks after over an hour of waiting, which was a nice gesture, but when we asked what was causing the delay, we were given a vague explanation that the "kitchen may not have been well prepped for the night". This did not feel satisfactory given that the table next to us did not have the same issue. Given the price point, we did feel that more could've been done to accommodate the inordinate waiting time we experienced, and better communication throughout was warranted. The icing on the cake was a 3-4% "Kitchen Appreciation Fee" added to our bill, which is ironic if it was indeed a kitchen issue, and not a mistake from the server. read more

The food was good, except for the butter chicken, which was bland and had doughy naan, but our service was poor. We had Josh T as our server and he neglected us and said microaggressions toward us.

I love this place! While the menu/offerings have changed over the years, everything I've ordered has HIT . I miss old menu items only because they are delicious. This place has great cocktails and yummy food, which is my favorite kind of place. I also love the decor and use it as inspiration for my own home . All the servers over the years have been friendly and helpful if you need any recommendations. This is not a cheap eats place, but if you can swing it it is SO worth it read more

My friend and I made reservations for a late Brunch at 1:30p on Saturday, 12/7/24 at Podmore. We were greeted and promptly seated at a cozy table at the rear of the restaurant overlooking the bay windows where we could see the street. The ambiance was warm with the sparkling Christmas lights aglow throughout the restaurant. The waitstaff looked smart in their uniforms as they served us. Our waitress was very friendly and explained the menu and her favorites as well. We ordered our drinks first. I ordered the Sherpa Chai Iced Latte composed of Nepali black tea, Peruvian ginger, spices, sugar with my choice of Oat milk. I enjoyed the flavors with the cinnamon spices and cardamom bursting through. It wasn't too sweet which was perfect. My friend ordered it also, later in the meal. My friend also ordered a refreshing cocktail called St. George and the Dragon. It was composed of St. George Vodka, Dragonfruit syrup, Kalani coconut, Cappelletti aperitivo, and lime. It was a lovely pink hue. This drink is similar to a Cosmopolitan. Then it was time to order our meals. Unfortunately, the kitchen didn't have my first choice on hand that I wanted to order. I wanted to experience the Full English Breakfast. The Full English breakfast came with fried eggs, bacon, black pudding, Podmore sausage, potatoes, tomato, mushroom, baked beans, and fried bread. I've been to London, and wanted to taste it again. Fortunately, they had my second choice that I ordered which was the Tagliatelle Carbonara a house-made pasta, egg, parmesan, with Podmore bacon. I was satisfied with the rich and creaminess of the sauce and the firm and chewy texture of the house-made pasta. The bacon was unctuous and tasty, as well. In the middle of my meal, my mind was still on the English Breakfast. My friend mentioned that I could get a side order of the Black Pudding, since she heard a neighboring table order it. Thus, I was happy to order a side order of Black pudding to sample, and eat along with my Tagliatelle Carbonara. The flavors were satisfying, and I was pleased that I got a part of the English Breakfast. My friend ordered the "Christmas Breakfast" made up of Potato rösti, spinach, house-smoked salmon, double yolk coddled egg, brown butter and hollandaise. She enjoyed how the egg yolk decadently flowed out of the egg as she cut it. She enjoyed the salmon but said her Potato rösti was a bit salty. Overall, she enjoyed the dish, she said. My friend also ordered the Rock Cakes (4 pieces) of miniature scones. It was tasty. Since we ordered it with our meal and it came at the end of our meal, our friendly waitress let us have it as a complimentary dish. My friend also wanted to try the Sticky Toffee Pudding for dessert since she read good reviews on it. Unfortunately, they no longer make that, and it is no longer on the menu. Comprehensively, we had a wonderful experience eating here at Podmore. This restaurant was busy and everyone was enjoying themselves. The ambiance made you feel that you were actually in London or New York as the restaurant owner emphasized in his Instagram interview. The food and service were sublime. Thank you also to the wonderful waitress who took a photo of us by the Christmas tree. Parking: We parked at the Post Office which is near Podmore, and had to feed the meter 2x since the maximum time is 1hr. at the parking at the Post Office. We didn't want to rush ourselves and enjoyed our leisurely Brunch at Podmore. read more

Came here to catch up with the bestie over a fancy brunch. Service was impeccable. Street parking easily found nearby on a weekend. Mid century modern decor. Food is beautifully plated. Christmas breakfast: smoked salmon Benedict, but replace the English muffin with a hash brown. Interesting take. Thick Hollandaise. Not as rich as you would think. Perfectly poached egg. Fried chicken & biscuit: what my friend got. It was my favorite bite of the meal. French toast: shared for dessert. Small portion. Nice sweet finish. It wasn't too busy. Reservations highly recommended. Quiet ambiance to enjoy a good conversation with your guests. read more

This place is beautiful and food was interesting but the attitude of staff, rules of the restaurant and extra fees will ensure we don't return. We walked in around 12:30PM for a two person business lunch. Dressed in suits with briefcases in hand. Staff inquired if we had reservations to an almost empty restaurant. We did not but they agreed to accommodate us with a bit of pomp. After being seated, my colleague took out his laptop to run a quick financial analysis which was needed for our next meeting. No zoom or teams, etc. just an excel spreadsheet. The staff aggressively told us, laptops are not allowed to be used in the restaurant. We thought it was a joke but no it was not so the server had to get permission for us to use our laptop for a brief business discussion. I did not see a sign or anything on the website stating NO Laptops used at lunch time meetings at a restaurant in the financial district! Next, we declined drinks from their over priced drink menu which was also met with a frustrated facial expression. We ordered and quickly left to go prepare for our meeting. Upon paying the check, there were extra fees added at well which again, no sign or information. Beautiful place, ok food but won't return! read more

Beautiful interior but not the best food. My friend and I made a reservation for brunch but we were a little past 15 min late for it because we couldn't find parking and we had tried calling to let them know but no one answered. We ended up parking at the Alii Place building which was such a good deal - $0.75 for each half hour for the first 2 hrs. Other parking structures were like $4 per 30 min so yeah, no brainer! When we got there the front desk girl acted annoyed but ended up seating us anyways because another group that just arrived said they did not have as many in their reservation as originally planned. We tried the rock cakes which tasted purely like dessert, so I would have liked them last. I guess they have different flavors all the time and the flavor we had was white chocolate with chocolate chips or something. We shared the full English breakfast plate which took soooooo long to come out omg. It ended up being good but lots of weird meat things I didn't like, and in the end I felt I could have just made something better at home. The smoked soufflé pancakes also took ages to come out and we were so impressed by the presentation but sorely disappointed by the taste. It was very salty and had a strange texture. TLDR: Perhaps just a nice spot to grab drinks at the bar? Very cute spot, just didn't like the food or time it took to come out. read more

Returned here for a second time to celebrate my bday with my girlfriends. The food was again excellent in taste, quality, and presentation , but unfortunately the service could have been better. I hesitated to order the **Chilly Chung Chow cocktail since it was $30, but so glad my friend encouraged me to get it ("so I could die happy") because it was phenomenal! A Pimm's based drink served in a glass full of colorful little fruit flavored ice balls in cranberry, pomegranate, pineapple, ginger. The server poured a Spiced pear, spiced ginger, fresh lemon juice concoction into the glass. Mmmm! All the flavors of the fruit and spices blended beautifully with the strong alcohol! One of the best cocktails I've ever had! We started with the rock cakes which was perfect for 4 of us since we could each get one. Get them because they're delicious and you will have something to nibble while you wait. Today we did a lot of waiting which was even more off putting because of the two hour time limit and having to tend to the parking meter. FOOD **Christmas breakfast-loved this crispy little potato rosti with house smoked salmon that paired well with the spinach, egg and hollandaise. Friend called it an elevated hash brown. I'd get this again! *Mediterranean salad- everything is chopped up into colorful confetti atop fried chickpeas and tahini for a tasty and refreshing salad which was a good complement to the other dishes. Comes with 2 pieces of sourdough toast. *Fried Chicken and biscuit - got to taste a bit of my friend's "elevated chicken tenders" which was good but I preferred other dishes. DESSERT Smoked soufflé pancake- comes with a presentation where they lift the cover to release smoke surrounding a pancake beautifully decorated with berries and flower petals. I expected more sweetness but the salty butter pad made it more salty. Instead of a dessert for the bday we got a nonalcoholic beverage (I forgot what it was but it was good!) in flutes decorated with pretty pink petals perfect for our ladies toast! While I still love this place, today's celebration was marred by the service. If it was due to lack of help then I can be more sympathetic. No one came to take our order for about 10-15 min. The drinks and rock cakes came in a timely manner but the entrees took a while and dessert got served a few minutes after the main dishes way ahead of time. Perhaps it was because my friend ordered it with all our other food but they should have asked since it was odd. I like to drink water and wanted a refill several times but no one came around and I didn't see anyone to hail down. At the end of our meal we wanted a photo of the group and the server who was not so gracious took only one whereas last time they took several. We were given a verbal warning along with a look that it was time to go, but we had not even received our bill yet and the restaurant was not even full. Really wanted to share the wonderful experience I had the first time with my girlfriends but have to deduct 1 star for the timing issues today. read more

here for an anniversary dinner, which i have noted in online reservation. It wasn't even busy when we arrived. And they put us in an uncomfortable seating arrangement. With another family in a small nook. It was like they were watching us eat and we were watching them eat. I should've said something but I succumbed to silence. I just didn't want to speak because i gelt small kine shame i we was the only filipino there and i was the dark kine filipino lol. i wish they gave the seating arrangement a bit more of a consideration. But this pretty much set the tone for me Because the only thing running in my mind is regretting the fact that i took my wife here. I hope the food is good because at the moment Im not having it. ALSO the tables are so small that they cant bring all the good to us all at once. read more

Came for happy hour before our play. LOVE this spot!Definite must!! First time here. PARKING could be challenging. There is street, meter, or near by paid public lots. I took an Uber. Check their social media platforms for parking ideas. Located on the corner of Merchant St & Alakea St. I walked in to this gorgeous space and was seated at a corner window. This area looked like it could seat 8-10 comfortably and had a few cocktail tables. The restaurant is intimate but you could definitely coordinate an intimate wedding, milestone birthday, or any occasion like dinner for 2 please. Reservations are recommended. Our server was very pleasant and knowledgeable. The libations are pricey but they are hand crafted and include wonderful service and a lovely ambiance. The small plates are perfect for sharing. Everything we order from the Twice cooked Fries with Homemade Ketchup to the Grilled Bread and Roasted Kabocha topped with Pomegranate Seeds was absolutely delightful!! This fabulous spot offers Lunch, Dinner, and weekend Brunch. I'm looking forward to trying the popular Brunch soon. read more

We arrived exactly at 9 am on Sunday. Our brunch started with a mimosa and Bloody Mary made by bartender Alex. We ordered the morning hash harvest and a full English breakfast. Sunny side up eggs, thick cut bacon, black pudding, Podmore sausage, fried potatoes, grilled tomatoes, mushroom, baked beans, and toasted bread. This canvas of delectable food made for an imaginative "blending of flavors!" For example, ah yea you must slide the eggs onto the buttered toast! BMT!!....meaning you gonna grind the thick and salty bacon, delectable mushroom and tomato in-1-bite!! The Podmore sausage, baked beans, fried potatoes covered with homemade ketchup....eaten together...popped on my palate!! All washed down with a juicy Bloody Mary! Plush, soft, squeezy seating throughout the restaurant. Even the barstools were comfortable. We were skeptical about dining here. However, after this experience we will return to try other menu items. read more
