“Mamma Mia.... Request for TIA!!!!! Probably one of the best servers will come across... the host working yesterday was super chill too. Her food knowledge was A1 and she specials spiel was very natural! I love when a server can give me a spiel on a dish and it not feel redundant or "scripted." On that note though, I would have totally got the burger of the week if I could tolerate spice... All i heard was jalapenos... I really wanted to try the seafood linguini arrabbiata pasta. However, it does comes with a spicy marinara sauce(for those that don't know what arrabbiata is). Thankfully Tia had suggested to do it with "white sauce" (roasted garlic cream). And that my friend, is why... I say she made an amazing recommendation because I will be back for that pasta! Small things I would like to mention... i wish they had noted which items were a bit spicy... maybe with a . The Bruschetta was a bit spicy for me, but the topping mix was amazing... i believe it was the peppers on top of the crostinis... On another hand, the FUJI APPLE flatbread is the way to GO! If you are looking for something sweet and savory... it WEEERRRKS! The fig jam brings a nice little sweet wander in your mind with the tart of apple and saltiness of the prosciutto... and the bite of the apple with a nice salty finish! Every bite is different honestly!!! I love the balsamic glaze too!!! (Honestly, anything with a balsamic glaze is chef's kiss). Oh yeah and it had a nite bite because of the arugula! As mentioned, my pasta was cooked to perfection. It is not easy to get all the components to be as perfect as it was. The seafood, individually and together, was perfectly cooked and not over done. It was very abundant with the fish, shrimp, and the mussels. Like I said, I want thing again when I come back. I also tried some of my friend's pua'a taco that was tasty and filling! Lastly, i love the location, by the marina! I love the open air experience! The vibe is very laid back and just a nice spot to be. We were in the corner and could see everything. And this is how I imagined celebrating my friend's birthday! I would also like to mention... they do free beer (least that's what i was told... don't hate me if they don't do it anymore) for your birthday... of course you have to be "of age"! Anywhos, thank you sooo much Kona Brewing and Tia for making this one of my best lunch experiences!“
“Awesome beach on the windward side. There's a military checkpoint at the entrance, so it's only accessible if you have military ID. Because of this, it won't get too crowded and not so much riff-raff.Secure area with a large, shaded pavilion and lots of tables. Full bathrooms (not nasty porta potties) and outside showers. Definitely family friendly. Waves on this side of the island are pretty mild to moderate later in the year. Soft sand, warm, blue water, and the occasional jellyfish. Watch out. So darn good, though. Top 3 beach on this island for me.“
“Wait time was 5-10minutes, we were there during happy hour and got 1/2 price appetizers which were all delicious; sliders, chicken lettuce wraps, nachos, and BBQ wings. Food came out fast. The BLT didn't disappoint. Our waitress Josie was great.“
“We were craving motsunabe and had never tried the Motsu Spicy Chige Nabe before. It was absolutely delicious! We were very happy ? It wasn't very spicy but they didn't skimp on the motsu! ? The motsu teppan is always a must for me! So good with hot rice or as an appetizer with sake ? Servers are very sweet.“
“Their coffee is delicious, we ordered a regular venti coffee and a peppermint mocha frappe. Both were very yummy. We also ordered a breakfast bento and it was pretty good. The rice was luke warm but not bad. Nice little coffee place. CASH ONLY and no ATM.“

“The local lawyer's call Ferguson's Irish Pub = Conference Room F.The old school wooden bar and leather padded bar stools create a comfy & cozy feeling without overwhelming the narrow room due to the spacious, cathedral high rafters.Behind the bar, the dark door wood continues as a massive cabinet and then rises up to form two pillars cradling a mirror. The cabinet proudly displays a mesmerizing kakaleidoscope of beckoning booze bottles as an Irish-looking lad, Mr. Reed, welcomes you by name with a freshly poured pint, ready-in hand.At lunchtime, Ferguson's Irish Pub reminds me of the sitcom "Cheers" except classier and without a jolly, plump man permanently perched on a corner stool (well... Ferguson's version of "Norm" isn't permanently perched on a corner bar stool but he is often found precariously perched on a Ferguson's stool).By 4:30 p.m., the downtown Honolulu business women and men from the surrounding towers of concrete have snuck out of work early and are hammering back cocktails to erase the drudgery of office work. By 5 p.m., you'll be lucky to find an empty seat as the spirited crowd shares laughs and war stories while challenging a newly introduced chum to pound down a drink involving the merger of glassware, each containing an unsettling-colored fluid.Some call Ferguson's an Irish Pub but I call Ferguson's a sanctuary for Much-Needed-?Midday-Liquid-Therapy!“
“Stopped by Growlers for a beer while I waited for Tonkatsu Tamafuji. Lots of beers on tap, friendly staff, and a pretty chill environment. My wife and I had a lot of fun playing darts (which was free!). Pretty rowdy crowd watching the Huskies decimate Cal, but everyone was having a good time. One thing I will say is that the bathrooms were pretty poorly stocked with tp and toilet seat covers but definitely a cool spot to hang out. Thanks Growlers!“
