The Mermaid Bar

The iconic Mariposa meal starts with a Demitasse of savory consommé and a popover with a fruit butter. Today we enjoyed our favorite dishes: Pork chop with mash potatoes and asparagus and salmon ochazuke. The pork chop was seasoned and very juicy and delicious. The salmon was flavorful and firm with tasty risotto dotted with special relish, furikaka, and assorted fish roe and a tiny container of additional hot, green tea. We savored the well prepared meals.

Horrible service. Food was mediocre. View and ambience were great as always, but never going back there for dinner. The sever got my order wrong so sat there while my wife ate and then she never came back to check on us after my meal finally got delivered. It was also lukewarm when it arrived. She didn't compensate for it one bit either. Just a very immature server who shouldn't be working at a restaurant where dinner is going to cost $250+ for a couple. Very disappointing

If you're looking for a fabulous sunset view (from 5:30 - 6:30 pm) and wonderful local Hawaiian music with special friends from off-island, Mariposa's outdoor dining is IT! The special menu item - the Giardiniera Salad - was notable for its large size, variety of vegetables and deliciously light dressing. The salmon that I chose to add with was a bit on the dry side. My guests loved the salmon ochazuke which had an ikura (fish egg) and veggie relish. We were pleasantly surprised and delighted to have been serenaded by Cameron Achuela. It was a challenge, however, in finding information about the "Sunset Lounge" menu, which applies on certain days of the week and for limited hours. I had to go to an Instagram posting and OpenTable to find information about this menu, which should be displayed on the NM Mariposa website! Overall, thank you for a lovely evening!

Our server Kai was very attentive and thoughtful. My sister and I shared the Cobb salad and he split the salad for the both of us. My burger and her pulled pork sandwich were delicious.

terrific food and great service from Kawai (as usual) and John is great too!! I got the porkchop and it was cooked perfectly!

Oh waiter was Kyle. He was absolutely delightful. I will ask for him again. Unfortunately, when I come again for lunch tomorrow with my other friend, he's not working lunchtime. He was friendly and polite and made sure that we had everything we wanted without being too intrusive.

I requested for Hunter but unfortunately he was off today. But Joseph was very good as well Go Tigers

Mariposa is always at the top of my list for "fabulous venue, food and service." I especially enjoy lunch due to their incredible pop-overs! Today my friend and I split the seared Ahi Salad (see image).

Great place... love the ambiance... food very good.... the bread they serve you (pop-overs) are the best in the world... so tasty. Great time.

Such a lovely dinner with picturesque sunset view of Ala Moana Beach Park with excellent quality of food and exceptional service

Wonderful lunch with visiting friends. I had the scallops and tried the Haleakala for the first time. Service was quick but did not feel rushed. We were in and out in less than an hour.

Always a consistent experience. Food & service good. Usually our choice for lunch when we have visitors.

Our server was fabulous! He was so patient, we couldn't figure out what to eat so he gave us a few recommendations and it turned out great... Our food was delicious.

Their menu is so limited and they ran out of almost all entrees — it wasn't even half way through the dinner service. The food took unbelievably long. Their kitchen was experiencing some major backlog — we got delivered doubles on multiple occasions.

Dined here at least 10 times in the past 15 years. Upon arrival was informed that kitchen is overwhelmed and food will be at least 40 minutes which I thought was strange, especially since there open stations. When waitress arrived I asked her if there were any dishes 86'd from the menu (I.e. are you out of anything?). She responded the duo dip (gaucomole chip dip). After a while we were ready to order but it took sometime for her to return to take our order. I ordered an appetizer, a split salad with shrimp and asked about the fish entree. She advised they were out of the fish. (Now understand the current menu has been scaled back more than 50% from what it used to be. There are only 3 entrees offered). So I then ordered the ribeye steak and was told they are out of the steak. That left only 1 entree, the risotto. So in disappointment I ordered the risotto. After a long wait a runner drops a salmon salad on the run and tries to run away. I stop him and tell him we ordered a split shrimp salad not a salmon salad. He takes it away. A waiter comes by and then drops off the ahi tataki appetizer which was good. The manager then graciously comes by and apologizes for what we're encountering. I ask him about the shrimp salad since 40 minutes have gone by since we ordered it. He said he would check on it. The waitress drops by and gives us 2 cups of corn chowder on the house for the delay and items off the menu. Finally 20 minutes later the split shrimp salad arrives and it was fine. The waitress then comes by and asks whether we would like coffee or dessert. I then asked her, what about the risotto we ordered. She was completely befuddled and it was obvious to me she had never placed the order with the kitchen. It's one thing to screw up a an item ordered, but to be out of 2/3 off your entrees, long delays and then screw up your order is inexcusable. This was not a packed house by any means. Needless to say I won't be coming back.
