This place is prettttyyyyyyy! Beautifully decorated, good lighting, this is the epitome of "white girl brunch" and I was all in for it! Haha Stopped in today for some pupu's and so glad we did. No wait at all on a random Tuesday afternoon and was able to be seated immediately. One server, one bartender who both were very kind and welcoming. Fish spread with the capers was nice and hit the spot, duck fries also was nice and well sized. Bartender made a beautiful Mai tai as well. Big respect to the bartender for accepting an old gift card that I've always wanted to use since the north shore location. I greatly appreciated that and shows the respect that the owners have for its patrons for accepting all gift cards, old or new. Will certainly be back and glad I was able to wow the Mrs today with the ambiance. Well done team! read more

Came here for my birthday brunch with my bestie. Parking -- we parked in salt parking lot where highway inn and Starbucks are. The restaurant validated and I paid $3. Location-- it's upstairs right where the bathrooms and hanks hot dogs are directly across from pitch bar Food-- food was good! We did the clam flatbread, salad, and fresh fish. My bestie and I shared and devoured the whole thing lol! Oh and they also have yummy desserts . We did the chocolate coconut ice cream cake. It was huge but good! They also have a full bar. Ambiance-- it's such a cute little spot. There's ample tables and seating with bar seating as well. It is outdoors with a covering that they can open and close depending on the weather. The decor was also so cute for photos Service-- our server was really nice. Helped us choose from the menu and even comped one of my drinks for my birthday. Will definitely be back read more

What an afternoon delight. I'm confident this place can roll into an all night affair! Their happy hour is from 3-6 with dinner starting at 5! Well noted. We started off with bloody Maria's that came topped with a grilled and tender octopus leg. Yes, you read that right! For some of us that's a yummm. It was a fun way to open up our appetites for what else is in store. I got the Caesar salad with the grilled Kauai prawns. Just heads up cuz I was under the impression that it was a radicchio salad but it's actually romaine! They put a tinge of grilled radicchio on top. Just in case someone else was also looking forward to that spice I had in mind. Tia was our server and took care of our every request with kindness. And Alissa behind the bar didn't stay behind the bar! She was a memorable presence on the floor too and really made such a positive impression on me! There was a gentleman who came in kind of aggressively asking for the restroom and I thought she handled with such grace and poise! Proud of you, woman! This was our first time so I'm stoked to bring some girlfriends and see what the night brings. How about you? read more

Came here for lunch because we saw the fried whole fish!! We were lucky since it was available today. I think they should have it on the menu but it's only available when they have it. We only ordered two dishes. The fried whole fish and the Roasted Vegetable platter. Both were so delicious. So so delicious!! Would come back for this again. The table next to us decided to have the same thing. It was a winner! read more

We went for happy hour. It's bar seating only for HH. They redid their menu recently and it seems like they have improved choices. The ahi katsu fish bites were delicious. Wanted to try the shrimp quesadilla but they didn't have it on that day unfortunately. Never tried their food from regular menu but it seems good. I would want to go back to try it. I like the open air atmosphere. read more

It's always fun to find and try new restaurants on the island! Mana + Pua was one of those that was on my to-go list and finally got the chance to. We made a reservation a few weeks before. A few things about our experience: -When we arrived, our table was not ready. It was fine since half the group was running late but we had six people and there was really only one table in the middle that could fit everyone. When we arrived, the servers rearranged another table that we could sit at. But it was a bit unorganized since we had made a reservation in advance and they didn't have a table ready for us. -They were out of three dishes, two of which we were planning to try - the charcuterie board and ceasar salad. We were a bit bummed but made it work in the end. -Sunday brunch menu is different than their regular lunch menu so some items that we wanted to order were also not available (but that is our fault for not looking) Now onto the positives: -The restaurant is located on the top floor of salt and is open air, but covered. It has a great atmosphere and they are very chill. Service is a bit slow so be prepared to sit for a while. It is nice that they let you take your time and enjoy the space. -Despite them being out of some menu items, we decided to try their veggie board which was also very beautiful and delicious. It came with a good spread of veggies and some spreads and bread to enjoy. It is a good share dish and hopefully I can go back to try their charcuterie one day! -For my meal, I decided to try the mussels and fries which is listed as an appetizer. I'm so glad I did though because it was a great deal! They give a generous portion of fries and mussels served in a cheese butter sauce. Everyone was so shocked at the size of the dish. I would highly recommend! Everyone in the group tried different things - the miso french toast was unique and flavorful, and the other dishes were also great for a brunch meal (although I do think the mussels are really the best deal!) We were hoping to try their pasta (served at lunch) but we'll have to come back again! Overall, if you're looking for a chill spot to enjoy food, drinks, and company, this is a good spot! read more

Mana + Pua - Mussels frites ! - Wine Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Loved the vibe here... cool tiled floors, open air... Service was friendly but quite slow. Also, they don't do separate checks, which is always a pain with large parties. They do take reservations. I got the strawberry french toast, which was quite tasty. However, it didn't seem to have one of the elements mentioned on the menu (dukkah). Perhaps they could punch up their flavors/seasoning a bit overall. I would've loved to see more coffee options on the brunch menu. read more

Welcome to SALT... Mana+Pua is now at SALT and I couldn't be more excited as this brings a bit of flair to the area with this open air upper level that's been unoccupied for quite some time as this location fits just so perfectly with various other of cozy biz in the area nothing is quite like this. Being familiar with the previous location up north it's nice to see how they still kept it all the same as enjoyed their flatbread which is the chef's selection and though it looks simple the flavor was just insane, with sausage and mushrooms though i did come here for a gift card i just coudn't resist the vibe and stayed for a bit of snack and while there noticed they have some live entertainment as well. The service here is just a delight, very friendly and helpful where you can enjoy it with your besties or what i did was take a moment after a long work day to chill and relax...cheers to a return for their happy hour! Thank you! read more

My friends and I went here after several recommendations from friends. This place is great! You kinda wander upon a casual patio where people are dining and that's the place! I don't even remember seeing a sign out front. The service was amazing. Our server was a gentleman that said he lived in Maui for some time as well. The food and drinks were amazing, tasty and unique! I ordered the mussels which was big enough to share. It had cubes of pork belly inside, fries, and a blue cheese sauce. All the flavors together were very tasty. What my friends and I enjoyed most was the vibe, very laid back and friendly. It's located in a place with several other restaurants, so there's a parking garage, but you'd have to drive or take an Uber from Waikiki. We enjoyed this place very much!! read more

I really wanted to like Mana + Pua. I love the location, love the vibes of the restaurant & it's really just a perfect spot to have a cute girls brunch or what have you. Unfortunately we were left unsatisfied at the end of our meal. We had brunch reservations right at opening and were seated in one of the tables in the dining area. Our server was very sweet & she was on top of getting our drink orders too. The drinks themselves took quite a long time to come out for a restaurant that was completely empty. But I digress, we were still happy once we received them. Food wise: - Smoked fish spread: big portion of smoked fish, could have used a little more salt. - Moules Pommes Frites: star of the show! Lots of mussels, lovely broth - Anuenue Salad: underwhelming, additional seared ahi was not very tasty (had a fishy taste) - Wong's Fresh Catch of the Day: I didn't take a photo of this dish, but it was so sad. The server told us the fish was a blackened butterfish? We jumped on it but were disappointed to find the fish was indeed not butterfish, but a maybe monchong or opah, super tough & dry. This was last month so maybe things got better since then, but I would recommend this location only for the drinks & the vibes. read more

I went here for brunch/lunch today and it's a near open air spot on 2nd floor of Salt Kakaako facing Pitch sports bar.

I stopped by for happy hour and ended up savoring a full course dinner instead. The bartender was incredibly gracious and deft--polished, attentive, and genuinely kind. Every server we encountered was wonderful, anticipating needs with a warm, unobtrusive charm. As we were dining we noticed 2 men bring in a fresh caught ahi!! We had to try! The fish was impeccably fresh, prepared with care and elegance. What started as a quick bite and a couple of drinks blossomed into a memorable culinary evening--seriously, a delightful surprise in the best possible way. Highly recommend for both the quick drop-in and a lingered, special dining experience. read more

Super cute outdoor patio dining with a big bar area as well - good for small group dining (4-6 people) and maybe one larger group of 10. It is a little hard to move around with the big palms between the tables. Service was pretty good but they were surprisingly slow bringing out our drinks. Since it is a lot of small plates we were sharing, it was also a little hard to serve some of the food with only the fork and knife that you had. Food was ok - interesting menu, but it just wasn't as high quality as we hoped. The pappardele was our least favorite - the sauce was spicier than expected and not a rich meat sauce like we have typically expected. The local fried fish was fried really well but was a little hard to figure out how to eat with the sauce. There were seared lemons but it was a bit hard to know how to serve it all and if the lemons were meant to be decor or to go with the fish. I ended up preferring to use dome of the lemon on the fish over the sweet sour sauce. Caprese and cesar salads were both pretty good. We added seared ahi to the salad - it was completely cooked rather than seared. Tasted ok, just a bit disappointing when you are expecting seared ahi. Drinks were pretty good, just thought they would have arrived quicker given how big the bar area is. read more

Good service and friendly staff! Will definitely go back for mimosa sundays! But the real magic? Mimosa Sundays. Whether you're kicking off a celebratory brunch or winding down your weekend with friends, the bottomless mimosas flow just as effortlessly as the island breeze. Pair that sparkle with their pineapple-stuffed malasadas or loco moco eggs Benedict, and you've got the perfect excuse to come back -- again and again. read more

Friendly staff. But everything else was meh. Their beer fridge was on the fritz, so beer was only slightly cold. They were out of unflavored vodka. The duck fat fries were just ok - The Cutlery's duck fat fries were so much better. The fruitti di mare - needed a lot of salt, but the seafood was good. Only problem is that is came out about an hour after ordering. The flatbread was more like a thick cracker with cheese - too hard. read more

The bottomless mimosas on Sunday was such a blast!! Good food, good vibes, great service from our waitress, Karyna. Pricing was good and fair but Karyna made it so easy to dine there.

Mana + Pua is a new, beautiful place located on the second floor of SALT. The waitress did mention that the owner's husband catches the fish and seafood themselves, which is pretty cool. The restaurant is definitely high end seafood cuisine. The plating for all food items were beautiful. It did take a while for the food to come out but the presentation was definitely worth the wait. My favorite dish was the flatbread. The oysters were smaller than I expected, and the clams did make my stomach ache afterwards. They are still opening so a lot of their items are still not ready yet, and some of their menu prices were listed for less than what they said. (Ie. One item was listed on the menu for $32 but the waitress then said it was actually $60). Service was quite slow, as there was only one waitress walking around. We weren't really checked on and had to constantly signal for a worker. I didn't end up finishing my clam chowder and flatbread so I did ask for a to-go container but they only had the paper container. Therefore, the clam chowder was just clams. And my pizza was folded into a ball because the container wasn't big enough. read more

Wow this was a seriously huge disappointment. Such a beautiful spot but the food was pretty bad. Fraser salad was good but drenched in dressing. The taco was tough and too strong. The mussels were pretty much the grossest food I've tried all year. That said ...excellent service by our waitress. Recommend the lighten all the condiments on the food and decrease the dressing. Don't overcook taco! They complimented the mussels so thank you for that. read more

Good service& tasty food. We went to the Passport to SALT Yelp event. Had the poke chips & dragon fruit drink

Won tun poke was great! Dragon fruit Margarita was great too!Great open air bar, cool, and breezy

My husband and I were excited to try this new place, and it definitely exceeded our expectations! Drinks were delicious. My husband got the Mai tai and I got a Chardonnay; they have a great wine selection. The food was so fresh, high quality, flavorful, and overall reasonably priced. We got the smoked fish spread, flatbread, and pappardelle bolognese and enjoyed every bite; each dish was easily shareable. Service was attentive and friendly. And the vibes of this place are so cool; perfect for a date night, girls night out, or dinner with family or friends that are in town. We will definitely be back to try out more of the menu! read more

tl;dr - Awesome ambiance/decor, excellent service, very good food but for the price, I would have liked it to be better. Food: I had the special, which was ono in a green curry with tempura fried plantains and rice. The ono was very good - perfectly cooked and ono-licious haha. It was fine - it's a mild-flavored fish, and the waiter had told me that the star of the dish was the plantains. He did not tell a lie! They were amazing! The curry was good, but I wished it had more depth of flavor. The rice...oh the rice. It was crunchy/undercooked. Now, I will admit, I find a lot of rice here in Hawaii overcooked and sometimes a bit soggy (I suspect in many of these cases, it's been in the cooker a little bit too long and water has been added). I do prefer slightly undercooked rice to overcooked rice. However, for those prices, I'd really just like my rice properly cooked. It's rice--seems like it should be pretty easy to get right. I can't quite remember if it was supposed to have much for vegetables in the curry or not. Either way, I'm not remembering much veg, and I would have liked some more veg. Drinks: Decent wine list. Expected pricing. I didn't try the cocktails but looked like they had some good options. Service: Friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Probably a little slow for some, but I was looking forward to relaxing and fun night out, so I enjoyed the pace. Price/Value: I originally picked the restaurant based on the moules frites, and I think had I ordered them, I would have found the pricing to be more in line with the quality. They seem like one of the best values on the menu. Ambiance: It definitely gives girly brunch vibes, and I love it for that! It's a very pretty restaurant with a white, gray, pastel palette. It's outdoor, but covered with an adjustable roof to adjust with the sun or keep off the rain. read more

Great location & food was ok along with the price. Service was very poor considering we (2) were the only ones dining for lunch. Their register wasn't working so he just handed us a paper with our grand total but when we ask for a detailed billing our young waiter gave us the menu so we took it as we had to figure the pricing on our own. Will try them for dinner hoping I get better service & crossing my fingers that their register works read more

In town for a conference, myself and 5 colleagues dined at Mana + Pua. Most everything was sup-par. We ordered drinks, then ordered an appetizer for the table, then a bit later ordered our entrees. The appetizer came out at the same time as two entrees. Ten minutes later, two more entrees came out, then 15 minutes later the last two entrees came out, and they were dinner salads (the first two to get their entrees had already finished). The food was completely edible, but sub-par. Three of us ordered Ceasar Salad with seared Ahi. In all three cases the Ahi was completely cooked through. While the physical surroundings were nice, based on our experience, I can't recommend it and won't be going back. read more

i'm quite conflicted on this place. all i can say about my experience was that it was... awkward. we had a reservation for 5 at the bar top since it was the only table available at the time. not an issue at all i love bar top seating. we were waiting at the host stand for 10 minutes until someone came up to us. the hostess didn't really acknowledge us that much, she didn't give us menus and we were left waiting for 20 minutes with no water and no menus. i can't say how many times workers made eye contact with us and they just didn't acknowledge us. there's a guy behind the bar with slippers and board shorts who didn't know how to interact with customers, maybe the owners son? on another note my family and i heard screaming and yelling coming from the back. i'm not sure what was going on, the restaurant wasn't busy but we heard people cursing at each other and i saw the bartender leave in tears. mind you all of this happened before we even got menus on water. finally someone gave us menus but the whole ordering process felt condescending and snobby. after 45 minutes the appetizers finally came out. the fries were fries which were okay. i really enjoyed the candied bacon which was just crispy pork belly. i enjoyed my drink a lot as well it was super delicious. the dessert that they sponsored was fantastic as well. it sucks that the energy there was weird because it's a beautiful location. i won't be coming back to this place due the sheer awkwardness of our dine in. read more

Nice open air venue. Service was friendly and warm. Prices are a bit steep, but to be expected in Kakaako. (Ex. I'd recommend the Bloody Maria over getting just the grilled Tako dish based on value) Large selection of drinks, always love when a restaurant features local brews. Understated restaurant on the 2nd floor located in Salt Kakaako, worth checking out. Definitely can't wait to go back! read more

We had an amazing experience at M + P. All the dishes were delicious, but the flatbread of the day (pomodoro + pineapple + pepperoni + hot honey) was decadent. So good we didn't even take a picture. Hopefully they add this to the menu permanently. The dessert was also spectacular. Clam chowder was 10/10. Will 100% come back. read more

4 for ambience and service. 3 for food which was fine. Happy hour but only at the bar. Nice that they are open throughout the day and can go for an early drink. Open air setting is nice as long as it's not too hot that day. Good addition to SALT and will keep this in the rotation as a place to meet people for early happy hour after work. Not sure that I'd go out of my way to get dinner here though. This location might be challenging - used to be a seafood restaurant up there that seemed decent but that was gone for a while before this place opened up. read more

100/10 amazing food, drinks, service, and live music. I had the best experience today! We started with the bottomless Wycliffe mimosas for only $30 and then shared a few entrees which made the most amazing meal. We also go to hear the amazing singer and guitarist kimo, he played great songs and made the place feel great! The servers, specifically Karen, was so amazing and the vibe is so laid back it's a great place for a morning you need to brunch it out. read more

This place was kind of mid imo.. I enjoyed the original North Shore location a bit more than this one. I went twice since they opened a few months ago. The first time my bf and I went, we booked a reservation at opening just in case it was busy. When we arrived it was empty but the server still took 5 min to come and greet us. However, once seated, we had a great time. Their cocktails were yummy and so was their seasonal flatbread. Proceeding toy second experience. A friend and I decided to catch up over drinks and light dinner after work, and thought this would be a cute spot. After I arrived, I decided to get a table before my friend came. I stood there awkwardly for a good 5-10 minutes before anyone came to greet me and ask if I wanted to take a seat. Although uncomfortable, I gave them the benefit of the doubt, maybe they couldn't see me because of the big chair they have blocking their view? The server proceeded to ask if I would like to sit at the bar or the table, I chose the table and sat down to wait. During this time, I knew it was their happy hour but was not aware that we would have to sit at the bae to be eligible to order. When my friend arrived and sat, it was not till after that he informed us about that fact.. and because we were already comfy.. we decided to stay where we were. The drinks were still good and the decor of the place is always cute and charming. However, the flatbread was just okay. Mixed with the okay service, and napkins flying everywhere due to the restaurant being on a terrace, it was just okay. I don't know if I would pay $45 again for a meal. Also, sometimes I get a weird vibe in there(?) I don't know whether it's because I'm in my younger 20s so I don't look as sophisticated as others? I don't know... But take this as you will. read more

Catered an event in early May. Totally overpriced, portions of food was very little. Fish was over cooked & dry & so was the chicken. Tossed salad was ok. Ran out of water & the coffee served was Luke warm. A bunch of us went out to eat after because 17 people who paid for their meals didn't get to eat because they ran out of food. I will never use this business again. It was horrible. read more

The food was great and our waitress provided excellent service. Great location loved the openness of the restaurant.

Male, Bartender/waiter was very friendly and accommodating. Good food. Nice atmosphere. Attracts young professional women.
