    We had an incredible experience at MonkeyPod Kitchen. Our server Sabrina was incredible and the service alone would make anyone want to go back. The fact the food, drinks and the ocean views were amazing too was a bonus! Highly recommend!

    We sat on the patio & it was lovely. Had the avocado & tomato salad with lemon vinaigrette dressing. We split a margarita pizza & the orange cicle pie. Everything was yummy! Service was a bit slow, but the server was nice. Would definitely go back!
