Aloha, we are open daily from 7:00am to 11:00pm and are located on the waterfront of Waikiki Beach inside the Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort. We accept reservations & reserve a large amount of space for walk-ins. If your desired reservation is not available, please join our waitlist in person daily. Happy Hour is available daily from 3:30pm-5:00pm (excluding select holidays).

Our chef driven concept is led by the classically trained, award winning chef, Peter Merriman. Peter is a culinary pioneer and one of the founders of Hawaii Regional Cuisine. He has always been inspired by the people and products around him and this spirit has lead the movement to look at food in Hawaii in a new light. Monkeypod Kitchen by Merriman embraces this passion! Each item on the menu demonstrates our commitment to craft and showcases high quality, socially conscious ingredients, creative preparations, and perfect execution.

    Food was absolutely incredible - had the wings and fries as an appetizer and I had fish tacos for my meal while my boyfriend had the bourgeois pizza. The service was attentive, sunset view was gorgeous, and live music added to the ambiance. Can’t wait to come back!

    Beautiful ocean side table as requested and special attention for our anniversary celebration. Fish tacos were a bit spicy hot for me but everyone else was happy with their choices - lobster devil eggs, Organic Macadamia Nut Crusted Fresh Fish, broccoli salad and fish & chips.

    日本語メニューはQRを読み取ると出てきて、わかりやすかったです。ピザ、パスタ美味しくいただきました。海の横の席に案内されましたが、ビニールシートで覆われていて残念でしたが、潮の関係で波が高くぬれてしまわないようにとのことでした。でも、しばらくするとシートをあげにきてくれてめちゃくちゃ嬉しかったです。ご配慮ありがとうございました。

    My family had a very enjoyable dinner. We like the selection of food available, there was something for everyone. The service was professional and helpful. We like the ambience of the place, especially when you see a seal swimming by amongst the sail boats and surfers. We live on the island and this will become one of our go to places when we have visitors to the island.
