Bistro Punahele Tonnelier

Well... I really wanted to like the food. The last visit I ordered the MONTE CRISTO (pain de mie (white bread) layered with, Swiss cheese and smoked ham, dipped in french-egg batter & served with crispy potatoes). It was very yummy... cooked to perfection. I wanted to order something different this time around, so I got the Crispy Spam Plate (Fried rice with onions, ginger, scallions topped with crispy deep-fried spam and two farm fresh fried eggs). My food was completely overcooked, as in burned to a crisp on the side facing down. The rice was also dry. The only reason I didn't send it back was because it already took a bit of time to come out, and the party I was with was already enjoying their meal. I will give them another chance, but stick with what I know.

This was our second visit to the restaurant, with our first visit almost a year ago. Unfortunately, the quality seems to have declined. At least in my case, the Le French Burger was disappointing — the bun was hard and the patty was chewy. The service was great and the ambiance is still very enjoyable, but the food didn’t live up to our previous experience this time.

Upscale Brunch spot with a unique wood stained ambiance and plenty of unique Hawaiian themed dishes. The mimosas are top notch here. They have plenty of steak, spam, and ground beef based dishes here. The coconut rice here is good, maybe a tad on the salty side but worth trying if you like fried rice. Overall the dishes were well presented and tasty. Be prepared to wait in line a while if you come during prime hours due to limited seating and staff. We found the wait worth the meal but will plan on coming much easier next time. Parking is easy to come by. The area is safe and near a police station.

Cozy brunch spot in Oakley with tasty Hawaiian twist. Thank you!

We’ve been trying to eat at this place and it’s either they were closed that day or we didn’t make it on time. Today it was fate. We finally made it. There was a little bit of a wait but not too long. Considering the place is small. Maybe 12 tables inside at most I can’t be sure. A few more outside but I don’t know if they’re serving outside. The ambiance is beautiful. It brings a bit Hawaii. The music and the food was giving me the island feels. The food we ordered was delicious and the price was not too bad. We ordered the Aloha tower, Loco Moco Fries, and Egg Benedict Salmon. For drinks we had delicious mimosas. I wish they were open more than three days a week. I really liked the food and the vibe of the place. And it look like there were some regulars that come often. As a bonus, we
