Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Anthony Rush

From the OpenTable editors: Playful cocktails and comfort food are the stars at this stylish sequel from the beloved Senia team led by chef Anthony Rush and his wife and co-owner Katherine Nomura. Get comfortable at one of green banquettes overlooking Alakea Street or at the marble bar and pick from nearly two dozen cocktails like the tropical Secret Swiftie with amaro and dishes like beer battered fish and chips. End on a sweet note with the flight of three pie-inspired cocktails.

    We arrived 20 minutes before our reservation and we were still seated immediately in a nice corner table. The food was amazing, chop salad and triple fried chips, kale land truffle asagna and curry chicken dish. Only complaint is the lasagna was tiny, but amazingly delicious. Our waitress was amazing and very attentive and gave us privacy when needed for phone calls. Home made ice cream sandwich was the best also, and the free non alcoholic birthday dessert drink was a stellar touch. The chai iced latte was so good we had to have two, and the cold brew coffee was excellent as well. We will definitely be back next time we’re in town.

    Podmore never fails to deliver in every facet of a meal. The new menu is drool worthy. Everyone wanted multiple things, which means we will have to return soon. The price was really reasonable and the experience very luxurious.
