The Podmore is a gem of a place! It is a gorgeous space with staff that are kind and thoughtful. That attentiveness is part of the menu too: it is simply one of the best places in Honolulu for a creative and tasty cocktail; the food too is wonderful. I go every few months with a friend or when friends are in town and each time, we have a delightful experience. Top-notch!

Really nice meal. Tried the Lamb Ragu Pappardelle and was very happy with it. My father-in-law had the miso glazed pork chop and he was really, really happy with it. He liked it so much he gnawed off the bone to finish it off. A choice we made to avoid the cold temperature for inside dining, we did ask to sit outside and had to listen to the buses and Harleys. BUt was better than the cold insdie.
