Absolutely LOVE this new chef and menu. My previous experience at the Hart was extremely lackluster. This new restaurant, – the menu, drinks and chef – absolutely blew me away. Every menu item I ordered was incredible, and fairly priced for the quality and unique experience. I was so excited to give this place a try after its opening in May 2023 and I will absolutely be going again as a regular. I also love the Hippo Bodega next door – great place to walk around and browse while waiting on my party. All in all, so thrilled to have Present Tense in town!

Another reviewer suggested to wait until their service kinks are worked out…and I thought, how bad can it be? Food looked so good, so we decided to give it a try with the right expectations and sat at the bar, in hopes of better service.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Present Tense and I must say, it was an absolute delight for all the senses. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was greeted with warm hospitality, an inviting ambiance. Present Tense truly exceeded all my expectations, and I cannot wait to share my exceptional dining experience with you.

The food was very good! Our favorites were the Pork Belly Bao Buns, the Japanese Sweet Potatoes, and the Himachi. We had 2 scallop dishes and honestly were not impressed with either. My only complaint that we had is we ordered the cooked Scallop dish, we told the server and he said no, that’s what you ordered. Only to find out we got the cold Scallop dish instead of the warm dish. So our server then got us the warm dish but we were then charged for both. But as I said, everything else we ordered, we absolutely loved! Also the ice creams are a must when trying this place!!

We had a wonderful dining experience here at Present Tense. The ahi toast was my favorite, but the homemade Boa buns with pork belly, aged tuna toast, ribeye skewers, and the Ube soft serve were all out of this world. Cheers to the chef!

I was really impressed! Only had the fried chicken and sesame soft serve, but both were. Brandon was also a really nice and attentive bartender. 🙂

Had a nice light lunch here. Very tasty and refreshingly pleasant. The staff is attentive and accommodating, cocktails were also good, again refreshing and light. Give them a try you’ll be grateful you read this post. For the money you get a nice portion of food too. Enjoy!

Met some friends here for brunch today and the food and service were outstanding. Wonderfully fresh Hawaiian style cuisine. The Bento Breakfast was so good I would go back tomorrow and eat it again. I think I love the design and style of the restaurant itself more than anything. It’s truly modern beauty. We will definitely be back.
