Best Cozy Restaurants in Ala Moana

Nothing like being able to sit down after hours of shopping and enjoy a good meal with a great view, that won’t break the bank. We dine and order from here frequently and have always enjoyed the experience. Make sure to make a reservation if you want to come in during the high traffic hours.

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!

Enjoyed our first visit. Started out a little noisy but as the evening progressed it started to subside. Love the ambiance. Waite Jordan and his asst bussing person (Haole young man) did an outstanding job with excellent service. Will spread the word. Mahslo nui

We really enjoyed our visit. Bacon candy was amazing Hamachi was also The beef brioche seemed a miss. It was 98% brioche and 2%beef. Could barely tell there was any beef at all. The only other thing is the empty plates cluttered our space ( at the bar) and we're not removed until we paying the bill. Towards the end of the visit we felt like we were left hanging. The waitress finally came over and gave us a water refill and took care of the bill for us. Again over all we had a great time. Everyone was friendly. Just a couple small things that could be easily managed.

Outstanding service from Jae and the entire staff. Excellent meal: caprese salad was very flavorful, pasta with clams and pasta with sea urchin exceptional, and the panna cotta was perfectly prepared. Cocktails and wine were delicious, and the chilled limoncello a lovely finale.
