    my 27th birthday was awesome, and my mother invited me here, to Punahele Tonnelier. for a saturday, it was busy, and had a small 5 minute wait i ordered their surf n turf, while my mom ordered the Loco Moco. on the side, some french toast. as beverages, some champagne to celebrate my life and some water to never dehydrate food was elite, and the whole experience here was one i would love to experience again. thx, mom! surf n turf (8.5/10) this plate was solid and strong, with potatoes and some steak bites as the main flavors. add some hot sauce to it plz loco moco (9/10) traditional hawaiian plate, with a base of rice, hamburger patty and fried eggs on top. my momma loved it, but wish it was larger champagne (10/10) no words babbyyyyy and thx, Punahele. you rep Hawaii greatly

    Classic French Toast
    Alexis G.

    Oooh wow! Definitely coming back to Oakley for this one!!! A refreshing breakfast that keeps you feeling full. The perfect ratio of balanced savory and sweet recommended is both a signature plate and French toast. The meat is heavy if you're not used to spam etc. Pairs well with their tropical drinks. Service is quick! BUT without the rush feeling. Servers are nice and friendly, wait time (you put your name on the list) and wait to get called, on a mid Sunday was less than 10 mins! Huge win! I'd definitely come back with the fair pricing with the portions you receive. (4 drinks, 4 plates around $100?) Yes, sign me up! It was SO delicious! Only con - please maintain your bathroom!

    Food and service is phenomenal. A cute little restaurant that is very homey, and intimate. Portion sizes are well worth the price you are paying for. You have to try their mimosa flight where you get to choose your flavors. Only comment is that the tables felt sticky.

    House Signature Omelette (Smoked Salmon with Spinach and Onions)

    I've never been to Oakley, but a dog meetup brought me to the area! My companion, Dad, and I came to the area with my pup. My Dad recommended we try Bistro Punahele Tonnelier due to it being dog-friendly and offering Hawaiian fare. Since we had my puppy, we sat outside. I can't speak for the ambiance inside but outside was super casual and rustic. The furniture was a bit dirty outside (ants crawling), but the staff wiped it before we sat--we just had to monitor the ants. Service by staff was great. We were notified that there was only one server so things would be slow but our lovely server was phenomenal. They gushed over my puppy, provided water and snacks for her, and took care of us checking in regularly. The bistro serves typical American breakfast and lunch with a Hawaiian and French influence. When it comes to Hawaiian food on the mainland, I don't play around. Having lived there, I do have high expectations. For my meal, I had the House Signature Omelette, Smoked Salmon with Spinach and Onions. For my side, I had the potatoes. The omelet was generously packed with spinach, a filling portion, but lacking a bit of seasoning. The potatoes were superb--crispy and creamy. Companion had the Fried Portuguese Sausage and Spam omelet. I had a bite and thought it was okay--just meat and egg nothing else. Flavors weren't truly there. My Dad had the Aloha Tower which was a sight in itself--meat and carb forward galore. He said it was delicious. Though I never come to Oakley, I'm glad we had a pleasant meal. I say this restaurant is worth trying if you live in the area for the unique offerings, but not one I'd go back to especially for the Hawaiian food. The wooden bistro is right off Main St. with lots of parking out front.

    Aloha Tower and French Toast Stuffed

    5/5 experience, best bistro (and maybe restaurant) in Oakley! I had the Aloha Tower and my partner had the Stuffed French Toast. Absolutely delicious and everything was cooked to perfection. The service was impeccable, great staff and overall great ambiance. Will be coming back here again, loved it!

    Egg, spinach Benedict
    Fer R.

    First time visiting for breakfast. Finally after all these years! I was super excited! Looks bigger on outside than actually inside. Tables are really close together and I personally didn't feel like I had my own personal space. Like when my neighboring table mate got up to leave her butt pretty much rode down the side of our table. Definitely could not walk straight out... even walking sideways was too close The bench seats along the wall are uncomfortable, I had to switch seats with hubby. The food was aiiight. I ordered the egg Benedict. It wasn't the one thats on the website menu. This one had the English muffins, sautéed spinach, poached eggs, caramelized onions, bacon and French hollandaise with smoked paprika. It was meh. Just meh. It looked messy when presented. The English muffins were soggy AF from the sautéed spinach. Then layered with 4 thick bacon slices then the poached eggs with hollandaise & a sprinkle of paprika. The 2 csmall tablespoon size dollops of caramelized onions were on my potatoes. Not on the Benedict at all. I could have gotten a better Benedict down the street. I was disappointed for sure, no Aloha there. Hubby ordered the Aloha Tower... he liked it. Aloha for him. Service was fast & friendly. Coffee was BLACK! They do offer honey to sweeten it up a bit. All in all, I'd go back to try one of their burgers.

    So good!! I love coming here when they are open and the food is always good no matter what you get!! The owners are very sweet and chit chat with the table when they can!! only complaint is that they aren't open very much just the weekends in the morning.

    What's left of the Classic French Toast!
    Eric C.

    Ok, so I found this place on a fluke. But I'm happy I did!! So I didn't know what to expect because I've never really eaten Hawaiian themed food. But upon arriving you had to wait outside and write you name on a list! It was kinda cold that day so this method sucked! But that being said once we got inside the overall service was great. I went with the Loco Moco fries, my daughter went with the chimichura steak minus any kind of sauce! And my wife got the same thing with all the sauce. Plus we tried the French Toast. All the food was really good. The Loco Moco was really good! I'm skeptical of eating gravy but I must say this meal was really good. The burger patty was really good. Overall I really enjoyed this restaurant and I will come again! I'm so sorry for the photos I remembered I needed to take them half way through!

    Smoke salmon eggs Benedict, oj mimosa, and tri tip sandwich and fries
    Cassie K.

    Came here on a whim Saturday morning around brunch time and glad I did. We wrote our name down and waited maybe 15-20 minutes before being called for our table of two. We thought we'd have the option of sitting outside but instead we were brought directly inside and sat at the small table by the window; unfortunately our view to outside was a little blocked by the baby seats stacked outside lol but otherwise the natural lighting was beautiful at that time of day. The inside is much smaller than I expected but the ambience is so wonderful! It felt cozy and intimate inside and we absolutely loved all the decor. Our orders were promptly taken by our server, he had curly hair and a septum piercing, really nice dude. I ordered the smoked salmon eggs Benedict and a mimosa and my bf ordered the tri tip sandwich and a beer. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals and agreed on coming back. Wait time was reasonable, vibes were on, food and drink were delicious, and service was great. I can't wait to come back and try their other menu items - I was so excited when I saw they had spam on the menu lol. Definitely recommend coming here :)

    !!! Amazing experience !!!! We went for breakfast last weekend it's a small place but amazing food & excellent service. Vibe is very cool.... We had to write our names on the waitlist it was not bad at all we hardly waited for 10 mins... parking is very limited but still there is public parking on the street. It's a very small downtown area. We loved all our dishes & enjoyed the half sampler mimosas. It was fun tasting various juices with our champagne. Will definitely be back for trying other dishes... we both are remembering those potatoes... OMG !!!! They were awesome!!!!! Prices are very reasonable with generous portions... we had plenty leftovers.

    One of the best breakfast places that we have been to! The most delectable crispy potatoes ever and the eggs were poached to perfection. Along with the caramelized onions and fresh spinach and super tasty Portuguese sausages this Eggs Benedict was fit for a king , that too a Hawaiian King !! And the portion size was humongous ! I made 2 mini meals of the leftovers at home. The accompanying Mimosa sampler half carafe was also very fresh, bubbly and we loved the 4 choices of fresh juices served along side. We absolutely loved the Champagne served! Better Half ordered the Paniolo (Hawaiian Cowboy) Skillet breakfast - an absolute treat for eye as well as the mouth. Wonderfully scrambled eggs tossed with crispy potatoes and Portuguese Sausage, we swooned at every bite. Again humongous portion size, that she made 2 Mini meals of the leftovers! We also ordered the Kabuku style garlic prawns which we shared. Absolutely fresh prawn, wonderfully cooked in amazing Kabuku flavors and perfectly paired with rice and Asiago cheese roll! We were swooning at the very sight of this dish and will return just for this dish soon! Nicole our waitress was very attentive and courteous and service was smooth and without any long waits in between . As named , the ambiance and decor is a Perfect combination of Hawaii meets French bistro. We will returning very soon!

    Steph C.

    Yes to it all! I loved my experience here. Get here when they open. They are popular and have a waiting list for a reason. Mimosas are delicious. The service is friendly (shout out to our server who gave us edible glitter in our mimosas! Made our day). The food is instagrammable and fulfilling to every desire. Potatoes are crispy and soft. The decor and overall vibe is welcoming. Many ceiling fans to cool you down during hot summer visits. Clean bathroom. Single stall. Located just outside the restaurant. You'll see it on your stroll in. Street parking. This is the full package. Go try it.

    Ask the Community - Bistro Punahele Tonnelier

    Are pets allowed for outdoor dining?

    Yes, they have an outdoor patio where you can bring your pooch.

    Hi, can management pls reach out to me asap?

    Is this place currently open? It sure looks like a mystery? The hours on the website are different from the hours posted on the door. And if you go to the storefront, it looks like it's been closed for quite a while So what's the deal?

    They are only opened Friday-Sunday 10-2pm

    Is this place dog friendly?

    If you get outdoor service on the patio otherwise no

    Is it ever open? I've tried to go 3 separate times now and it's been closed every time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    They are only open three days a week. Friday,, Saturday and Sunday. On Friday it was open on 10. Not sure on weekends think 10 or 11?

    I saw a post from 4 days ago from the business owner that they were open Monday thru Friday 10am-2pm? Is this wrong. I've been here several times now and they've been closed? *okay, so it's Monday Thursday Friday then. Owner response said "Thru" Thx!

    That is correct three days a week only at this time

    Do they offer bottomless mimosas? If so what day?

    I went in on a Monday and they informed me of the bottomless mimosas that day!

    Do they serve breakfast & brunch all day?

    Not that I know but I would call just in case. Make a reservation if you go. The place is tiny and when I went it was packed

    Do they take large groups, would like to try this place for my birthday?

    It's a really small place with most tables being 2-4 tops.

    No scoop mac salad for the loco moco? Also how much for extra gravy all over and extra scoop rice?

    No Mac salad with the loco moco. Not sure on the extra gravy. The rice is $2 as a side order

    Do you have haupia?

    Yes they did last time I went

    Any Gluten Free options?

    Yes there are several they said on the menu were gluten-free.

    Can I order something to go, a la carte?

    Yes you can!

    Do they do to go orders?

    Yes I ordered to go once

    Is it kid appropriate?

    Yes, you can order vegetarian omelets and they have crepes and pancakes. See their menu at www.oakleybistro.com

We asked for a bit more cooking time on the sliders and they obliged. What was great about Monica's is that you aren't up charged for the space. You are specifically paying for the food, which they cook as you go. Meaning, as your party eats certain items, Jorge and crew replenishes the servings of that item. That way your food is hot and always fresh and not sitting g out for minutes or hours. Along with the food price were water, coffee, tea, and soda. No one around can bet the price or the service we received. Thank you, Jorge and crew for representing Monica's Riverview to the utmost!

I really like that because it makes it a consistent date spot because the food is constantly changing and it's a new experience every time.
