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 went to Podmore for my birthday lunch, and it was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The ambiance was elegant yet cozy, the service was warm and attentive, and every dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. You can truly taste the quality and creativity in each bite. It felt like such a treat and made my birthday celebration extra special. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an elevated dining experience in Honolulu—can’t wait to come back!

    Birthday Brunch Celebration with the Bestie! The server was friendly and knowledgeable. My friend commented that she thought the service was a little slow but I was ok. She thought if they were quicker we could have ordered another round of drinks. They didn’t have the ice fruit balls drink on the menu that made them so popular but we picked some others that were delicious. We both loved the Golden Triangle and I loved the Going to the movies 2 part drink! We enjoyed the chicken and waffles and the carbonara was yummy. We went over board and got the smoked pancake. The presentation was really cool. I would like to come for happy hour or dinner sometime!
