    Always a great experience! This time, we had a server, Shay?, who was absolutely wonderful! Kind and professional but still made us laugh. The food was top notch, as it always is!

    Monkeypod mai tai was amazing! Poke tacos and salad were great but the fish special was a little overcooked for my taste.

    We thought the food was delicious! We ordered the Poke Tacos, the Bulgogi tacos, Goat Cheese and Lamb sausage pizza, and finished it off with Banana Cream Pie. Again, food and service was amazing. The noise level was off putting to me. I wish on the reservation I could have selected outside or inside. Or that the hostess would have asked. I heard her ask walk in people. I almost walked out the nose was so overwhelming. I’m thankful I stayed bc the food really was delicious, but if I go again, I would def want to sit outside to reduce the noise level.

    Matt was our server and he was kind and informative. He made great recs on drinks and dessert. Monkeypod is popular so rec a reservation, but worth checking out… and try the Mai Tai!
