The old Shorebird restaurant in the Outrigger Reef Waikiki has been transformed into a large Monkeypod Kitchen. The ocean views are incredible. The menu mirrors the Monkeypod Kitchen in Ko'Olina. Wish they would have mixed it up a bit with some different options. We went pretty much with the standards that we order in Ko'Olina. Nothing really stood out here but I did like the Poke Tacos. The Ahi was super fresh. Our Waioli Mixed Green Salad was served without the Beets so my Wife told the waiter and in less than a minute we had a small cup of Beets delivered to the table. You cannot go wrong with the Pumpkin Patch Ravioli and the Hamakua Wild Mushroom & Truffle Pizza was a hit with my girls. The Roasted Chicken Wings are flavorful and have a bit of heat. We all however did not like the Yogurt Sauce. My Daughter wanted to try the Jalapeño Mashed Potatoes and ended up not really liking them.
The Chocolate and Strawberry Pies were really good so save room for dessert.
Service was good but there were a lot of employees standing around doing nothing. Probably because they have only been open 8 days and there was not much direction. This place will be successful just like Ko'Olina but will not be my first choice for lunch or dinner in Waikiki.
