    This was our second visit in 2 days. Food was amazing. Loved the two local guys playing last night. Great hip hop music. Server was great. First time sat by the water at sunset and that made our dinner complete. Monkeypod is ONO! 🤙🌅🌺

    Had a lovely evening at Monkeypod Kitchen. Beautiful ocean view! Our server Maka was an absolute delight! 5 star hospitality and customer service! Food good however entrees were cold by the time they arrived to our table. Maka was kind enough to give us dessert on the house that was delicious! Banana cream pie…YUM!!

    It was a fine experience except for the condescending male host at check in. Server was sweet and engaging, drinks were fine. I wasn’t a fan of the over dressed salad with a overly salty dressing. All the other food was great.
