THE MONKEYPOD KITCHEN<\/span><\/h1>\n

If you\u2019re getting married at the \u201cSecret Cove at Ko olina,\u201d or anywhere on the west coast of Oahu, The Monkeypod Kitchen<\/span> should be on your short list of restaurants to dine at.\u00a0 The restaurant is perfect for small sized parties, say 30 people and below.\u00a0 While their menu selection is rather small, the majority of their featured dishes and appetizers are great.\u00a0 If you get in your order before 5:30pm, most appetizers and personal pizzas are half off.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Along with delivering great tasting food, the Monkeypod also boast a collection of thirty-six different craft beers on tap.<\/p>\n

\"monkeypod-kitchen-wedding-reception-3<\/a>Their pizzas are half off during happy hour and can be ordered as an entree!\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"monkeypod-kitchen-wedding-reception-1<\/a>These chicken wings were really good.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"monkeypod-kitchen-wedding-reception-5<\/a>The fries were awesome.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"monkeypod-kitchen-wedding-reception-2<\/a>Poke (raw tuna) tacos with an avocado cream sauce. \u00a0This was really great.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"monkeypod-kitchen-wedding-reception-4<\/a>This is some type of ravioli appetizer and it was not good at all.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The price tag that goes along with dining at The Monkeypod can get quite large. It\u2019s nothing out the ordinary of an upscale restaurant; just don\u2019t expect Outback Steakhouse prices here.\u00a0\u00a0 On average; appetizers, wine, salads, entrees, and desserts, will run around $80 per person without tip<\/span>.\u00a0\u00a0 I always tell couples to expect to pay around $100 per attending guest at your reception, so the Monkeypod comes in right on the money, literally.<\/p>\n

\"monkeypod-kitchen-wedding-reception-6<\/a>My steak was a grass fed piece of beef topped with some type of tomato cheese sauce. \u00a0It worked really well and was a good steak.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The cons?\u00a0 Unfortunately, it\u2019s the live music.\u00a0 It\u2019s not that they don\u2019t sound good, the music can be loud for some. \u00a0Let\u2019s face it, live music is loud by nature.\u00a0 There\u2019s no other way to have it.\u00a0 If you love live music, you\u2019ll love this place.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t love live loud music, you may hate it. If loud music bothers you, request that you sit on the top floor, and farthest away from the music and it won\u2019t be a problem.\u00a0 In my opinion though, the live music rocks; It really sets the mood.<\/p>\n
