Mariposa is one of my favorites. I love the pop ups, the wonderful service and the ambience.

Our experience was outstanding! We had very attentive waiters and food was great as always. wagyu beef was extra special. Ahi sandwich was also very good and tasty.

I've been dining here for years and recently have been meeting friends or clients weekly at Mariposa. My most recent visit was average in service, with the food pretty good. The front hostess was not friendly at all, and she even brushed us off when asked to be seated earlier (5 mins before our reservations). Horrible first impression for my client's first dining experience here. We shared all of our items. Chicken Milanese was the best dish. Pork chops were tasty, it almost had a smoked flavor. The ahi salad was the worst dish. Very fishy and it had a hair in it. The server replaced my small plate with a new one and gave us extra pieces of fish. Sadly we did not eat it since it didn't taste as fresh as it could've been. Our sever seemed stressed the whole time but she was nice enough. I also had the crab louie salad last week and that was a huge disappointment. Very fishy and stone cold, unpleasant to eat. I think I'll try again in a few weeks but honestly the last few visits were underwhelming.

Although on a 6 lane road, pleasant view of park and ocean. Excellent service with famed popovers. Nice place for entertaining business associates or visitors

Beautiful venue, beautiful meal, and beautiful service. To sum it up, just beautiful. Thanks Debbie

Fabulous service even though they only had two servers. Busy restaurant. Food was excellent

Great place to watch fireworks on a Friday night. Don't forget to make reservations for a table on the patio. Tony our waiter was very nice and so was the entire staff at Mariposa. Live music was a plus also. What a great dinner experience. We'll be back soon.

In an Aloha Friday, Mariposa is the best place to enjoy a triple of quality beverages and foods, the sunset view, and the fireworks in Hilton Hawaiian Village beach. What can you ask for more?

I met an old friend for lunch at Mariposa as she wanted to hear about my 20-day cruise around the Caribbean on Crystal. We were seated at a table inside the restaurant. I had a Hendricks gin & tonic and she had a glass of N-M Chardonnay while I showed some of the 500-plus pictures I took and gave her my assessment of the “new” Crystal. The “must have” popovers arrived with dishes of butter for each of us. My friend thought the size of the popover shrunk ... I told her to ask for another if she wanted more; she did. She ordered the Mango BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich with fries and I had the Kiawe Smoked Pork Chop. Our server asked if I wanted my chop well done; no, medium. My pork chop was tender and delicious, served with mashed potatoes, asparagus and a Maui onion marmalade. I ended up eating most of her fries and all of my dish. The atmosphere is peaceful and one can have a nice, leisurely lunch here. Recommended!

The cuisine was delicious and flavorful. Our server Jessica was very pleasant and accommodating. Unfortunately my glass of Failla Pinot Noir was served directly from the refrigerator. But, it was corrected.

Great time, food was great, our server Audrey was attentive yet didn't make us feel rushed, and was able to pace our lunch exactly how we wanted it, thank you. Popovers were fresh and tasty as always. Great spot for lunch

Underwhelming Experience at Mariposa. I recently dined at Mariposa with high expectations based on previous experiences. Unfortunately, my experience fell significantly short. Our service was great, but it was obvious the restaurant was understaffed. Joseph when we interacted was very chatty and engaging, however was very busy and could not provide consistent service, and actually apologized for not being able to check in with us during the meal. The food, the main draw, was a major disappointment. As the menu was very limited with little to no vegetarian options. Not what we had come to expect, based on previous experiences. The menu at the restaurant was also smaller than what was displayed online. And to my surprise although on the menu, there was no available beer on the menu, as they were "out"... Surprising for a fully booked Saturday evening. Overall, I was left feeling underwhelmed and dissatisfied with my meal. I would not recommend it to others at the moment, and will likely not be returning sadly anytime in the future.

Our server, Audrey was the best! Although the fireworks were postponed due to the new year's tragedies, it was still a lovely evening

The staff was so kind to accommodate us with a child. Also quick to assist with ordering the food right away for him and giving us the perfect time to get our order in. They were very attentive and aware and we appreciated it so much.

Whenever we go to Mariposa, we always try and sit on Yuen's section and she never disappoints in service and attitude!
