Mariposa - Honolulu

My friend and I had a wonderful lunch at the Mariposa today. I haven't been back for a couple of years and was so glad that we did. We had the choice of being seated inside or on the veranda. The view from the veranda is beautiful as ever, but we decided to stay indoors. It was a bit humid. The popovers and chicken broth were served soon after being seated. They are still as wonderful as ever! I selected the Chopped Salad which was very tasty with cubes of watermelon and mango. My friend had the Braised Duck. She raved about it! We also shared the Mariposa poke, which was also amazing. To end the meal we went for something light, mango sorbet, very refreshing. The service was very attentive and courteous. We were given a lot of time to eat and chat. Never feeling rushed. It's a wonderful place for great food and ambience.

Prior to Covid, I would conduct business lunches at least once a month at Mariposa. My clients liked their salads, popover and selection. This was my first time back, since Covid began four years ago and very little has changed. Like all restaurants, prices have gone up and I noticed that they're not as busy as they used to be with a line at the door. We decided to share the crab pasta and the salmon ochasuke. Our waiter was very nice and had the kitchen split it and placed them in separate plates. He asked us if we were celebrating anything and provided a complementary slice of their macadamia pie for my guest's birthday. As always, service was excellent, and the food was good. You now have a lot of choices at Ala Moana. Mariposa will be on the pricier side.

Been here before but first time since covid. The menu has changed completely and the prices have gone up. I used to get their pasta with goat cheese all the time but now it's not there. The popovers are consistently delicious though with their strawberry fluffly butter. The restaurant has indoor and Lana is seating facing the ocean. I ordered the lobster club and didn't know it didn't come with fries but it was delicious! Definitely a cute place to come with friends for lunch or brunch! Tif you're lucky you can get a beautiful view of the beach as well! Service was prompt when we had 15 people. We preordered our food so it came out quick! There is a time limit even with a huge party though. They are constantly busy! They even made a vegan dish for my friend.

Delicious plantation iced tea and holiday special king crab pasta. Server Hunter kindly split our Laksa curry and Mariposa Chopped Salad . The Mariposa burger was as its usual finest and huge accompanied by veg sticks and seasoned hurricane fries. We ended w their Affogato prepared with Illy exoresso and vanilla gelato and a scrumptious baked-to-order Chocolate Chip cookie w ground coffee beans. We appreciate Hunter!!!

We held my friend's bridal shower here today and everything went so smoothly. The Manager, Justin, was highly responsive and executed everything that I had requested for the party, including a very specific food order due to health restrictions, to perfection. In fact, when they delivered the food, he brought it out the dish himself. Amazing!! The service we received from Hannah and the rest of the staff at the restaurant today was above and beyond. I've always loved Mariposa for its bright and happy ambiance, yummy food, good service, and of course, we can't forget the popovers. : The impressive experience today just validated my love for this place. Everyone who attended had a great time and raved about the experience. Thank you Mariposa!
