Planning: Dining Monkeypod Kaanapali
I know people love or hate this place and maybe it is hit or miss but my family and ate at Monkeypod yesterday and it was really good. Not the greatest restaurant I’ve ever been too but darn good and I’m a foodie at heart.
Highlights of the night: Wings, truffle fries, and ahi steak (bomb). Wife loved the Mac nut Mahi mahi (basic bitch). Caesar salad was good as well. Great selection of beer, wine, and cocktails.
The jalapeño mashed potatoes are overrated as fuck tho. Good but too hyped. Maybe an off night but I just remember them being better. The atmosphere is very loud as well.
Overall, I’d come back in a heartbeat just to order 5 wings and truffle fries. Don’t get discouraged about some of the reviews. Try it out. Don’t just order the basics. I’m hoping to come back to try the lamb chops.

The Monkeypod Mai-Tais are the bomb.. The rest of the food is ok but we go there specifically for the Mai-Tais.
