    We had our Christmas dinner here. The staff was outstanding. Our waiter was attentive and kind. There was a female staff member that came over and gave my 5 yr old a Christmas coloring page and crayons. The atmosphere is chill and nice. The food was good. The scallops were amazing. Recommend for sure.

    Our experience was spectacular. I had been here once before but it was a first for my husband who was blown away. Kalei and Peter were our servers for the evening and they were attentive and absolutely amazing. Then, THE FOOD. We had the bruschetta, calamari and oysters to start the meal. I also had the coconut mojito. All fantastic. I had the prime ribeye for my entree which was cooked to perfection. Hubby had the monstrous crab legs that were deshelled by Peter table side, sweet and perfectly seasoned. To finish we shared a special birthday dessert which was the lilikoi crème brûlée. This was a meal and experience that we still talk about. Thank you again Kalei and Peter! Everything was amazing!

    We loved Heavenly! What a hidden gem in the bustle of Waikiki Beach! It was the perfect spot for our family of five to enjoy Christmas Eve dinner, sharing pupus and listening to Christmas music. The food was so fresh and tasted wonderful. Thank you, Heavenly! We'll be back!

    A fave of ours in Waikīkī! Quaint & tiny but cozy & fun. Absolutely delicious food for decent prices! Service is exceptional (Jamie is fabulous!) - the whole team is collaborative and helps each other out which makes everything seemless. Do yourself a favour and book a few reservations during your trip - you won’t regret it!

    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!
