Get comfortable at one of green banquettes overlooking Alakea Street or at the marble bar and pick from nearly two dozen cocktails like the tropical Secret Swiftie with amaro and dishes like beer battered fish and chips.

    The restaurant itself is stunning, and the service was excellent. The drinks were fantastic, but the food didn’t quite meet our expectations. The carbonara lacked creaminess and flavor, and while the chicken and waffles offered an interesting twist, the chicken was a bit chewy, and the potatoes were overly greasy.

    As if the 3 pages of spectacular craft cocktails wasn’t going to be hard enough to choose from, I was amazed by the choices on the Podmore holiday menu. Clausmopolitan might be my new fave, but St George and the Dragon was everything I want in a drink and more. The food was unique, hot and fresh. Our Bartender was generous and kind. Not to mention his drinks are some of the best I’ve ever had! Gorgeous room, cozy ambiance, chairs and booths you sink into, and the volume is perfect for conversation. Make a reservation, you’ll want to stay a while.

    Our Podmore brunch was just the right situation for two old friends to catch up. The dishes were creative and expertly prepared and the atmosphere was cozy and pleasingly decorated. It was easy to talk. The staff members were gracious and hospitable. I look forward to coming back and trying other dishes

    We chose Podmore to grab a nice cocktail before heading to a dance spot… We were excited about seeing our favorite bartender (who has a British accent), and while he was there, he was not our mixologist that night. Initially bummed, we still ordered a drink as well as an order of their amazing fries. Simple but a good choice for pre-dancing escapades! We have always had a spectacular time at this establishment and I highly recommend you try it!

    We literally fly over from Big Island to do date nights here. It's that good. Technique is off the charts, service is impeccable without being overbearing, the ambiance is perfectly balanced between laid back dinner with the wife vibes to big promotion or anniversary meal worthy. Every nuance is thought of. Loving the new "Elevated Britain" menu style, even on something as simple to eff up as Fish and Chips- it's beyond perfect here. No step is overlooked. Brined fish, thrice fried chips, a tartar sauce where you can decipher herbs from vinegar and find the harmony between the two. This is a restaurant for other chefs on their off day, and that is why I literally fly on an airplane to eat here. We did dinner tonight, have brunch reservations tomorrow and, then we hope a plane back to my island. So worth it. Cheers to the whole Podmore team, and Mahalo for caring so much. It shows, and it's appreciated.

    Overjoyed to see Podmore resume brunch service. Brunch menu is a tad smaller to keep things manageable but quality is still excellent. 1-2 brunch specials rotating through would definitely be something I'd look forward to if offered. For townside locations I think it's hard to beat Podmore as a Sat/Sun brunch spot.
