et al. 4210 Waialae Avenue, Honolulu, HI 96816

"I made a 7:30p reservations for et al on a St Patrick's sunday night, but the reservation probably wasn't needed. The restaurant had maybe 3-4 tables seated by the time I got there. The ambiance is romantic and perfect for date night. The whole restaurant being behind the door of the Kahala market is an oddity, but it's not a big deal. Some reviews also talked about slow service, but I didn't experience anything too out of the ordinary. The wait staff also The menu and drinks menu was small, but diverse enough to give you choices. I recommend the matcha whey, which had a nice mouthfeel and a smooth vanilla finish, for a drink. I recommend getting the smoked tako , which was very tender and had a nice crispy crunchy on the outside, and the Hawaiian clam chowder, which was a little thinner than your typical New England clam chowder but was teeming with clams. I also recommend the citrus brined pork chop and every bite was delicious. The pork itself was moist and had a crisp edge. The pearl onion accoutrement was a little too raw for my taste and I wished the pork chop came with some starch as well. I also got the ube pave with guava sorbet. I would skip the ube pave next time and stick with the sorbet of tropical flavors."

"its ok. really just ok. nicely written menu, nice atmosphere, what i would consider’good place to meet’ but as for the food… its ok. on the pricey side, you are paying for the location really. probably best to opt for the deli stuff at the connected market. good parking i ordered the popular breakfast bowl for my brunch. it was… just ok. you feel me?"

"We really enjoyed Et Al. The service was 5/5!!! I got the Kamakua mushroom risotto and had them make it gluten free with added chicken. It was good! The chicken was definitely dry though. My boyfriend got the burger and he really liked it!! I like that it’s inside a supermarket. Really nice atmosphere and ambience, reasonable prices."

"We went to Et Al. On a whim and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of food and atmosphere, especially for being connected to a grocery store. The waitress was very kind and offered great recommendations. I thoroughly enjoyed the mushroom risotto, with added chicken, and the bone marrow appetizer. My party also had the burger and the lobster roll. Everyone stopped talking as soon as the food arrived because it was so tasty."

"Great experience! We got to sit at the bar and was served by Wayne. He was very knowledgeable about the drinks and food, giving great recommendations on the difference in drinks and food items. Food was delicious and we will be back...."
