It's a shame that they're closing soon, and it's also a shame that I didn't decide to come check out this place until when I found out about their closing! At least, I got to try their famous complimentary soufflé bread and their whipped guava butter. Also got to try their chilled crab salad which was super delicious! I ate the whole thing quick. Got to try my friend's laksa and the taste was good too! Our server was very friendly and answered a lot of our questions. The ambiance was amazing too. We were seated outside with the beautiful ocean view. I hope to try a few more dishes here before they're gone for good.

Sad to report that after two consecutive visits to Mariposa on 3/19/26 and 3/20/26, the food quality and some of its services have spiraled down. To be fair, media outlets have reported that Mariposa together with Neiman Marcus will close soon. I am unaware of any specific date of closure. We asked our servers and they informed us that they were not given a date yet. We wanted to have our farewell lunches here and my friend and family decided on back to back dates. I was eager to enjoy another dining experience at Mariposa. I have fond memories of enjoying meals with my late mom and friends at Mariposa. While service on 3/19/26 was excellent and just like what I remember in the past, service on 3/20/26, fell below as it appeared the restaurant was understaffed. There were issues with our meals on both dates. For the first time on 3/19/26 and then on 3/20/26, we were served burnt popovers. The guava butter didn't have its usual flavor as well. The Wagyu burger I ordered to be cooked medium was burnt and definitely well-well done. It was difficult to eat and I couldn't finish it. The side salad was delicious. The side of fries were perfectly seasoned and tasty. The second day, I only ordered the seasoned fries. Cooked perfectly, however, the seasoning was on the heavy side. My family's meals of the scallops with polenta and crab pasta were both underwhelming. Both were bland and without much flavor. The crab pasta had an unexpected red chili pepper after taste. No one finished their meals. I was offered tastes of each dish. The second day, a family member noticed that the cloth napkin she was provided was torn all the way down on the side seam. Our popover server for the second day, informed us that all the popovers that day were coming out dark brown. This is the first time I chose not to have any more popovers after trying the first one! I guess things must be difficult at this time. I wonder if all the chefs have secured jobs elsewhere. Just be forewarned that your experience here may not be the same as before.

It is unfortunate the restaurant is closing (end of May along with the retail store). So normally I wouldn't go to a restaurant that is about to close because I know the space will be crowded and staffing and resources will be strained. But my friend had made a reservation a month ago, invited me to join at the last minute, we went for dinner last night. We arrived a little early for our reservation. Out front, there was plenty of parking. Inside, the space was clean, the ambiance was lovely, and a live musician was performing. We were seated outside on the lanai and enjoyed the view at twilight. The weather was perfect especially considering there could've been a full storm. The service we received throughout the evening from our waiter and the other staff who served and greeted us was all top-notch. Kudos to their professionalism, each one appearing fresh as daisy and treating us kindly, pleasantly, and patiently even though our seating was at closing time and the restaurant was still quite busy. I stared with a pineapple cocktail which I enjoyed for its refreshing sweetness. For dinner, I had the spinach salad and substituted a portion of salmon for the standard pipikaula. It was a meal-sized portion, I enjoyed the quality and balance of ingredients, the excellent vinaigrette, and the delicious creaminess of the goat cheese. If you've never been to Mariposa or it's been a long while, I wouldn't recommend going now, it's just not going to be the same. Instead, go to a newly opened restaurant, they need your business. But if you are nostalgic for Mariposa, it may be worth trying to go one last time although my understanding is they are not taking reservations, and I don't know if they are even taking walk-ins although the staff are super nice so maybe they will seat you if you ask nicely and explain why you want to eat there.

Past its prime. Sadly. Lovely atmosphere and views from the lanai. The popovers were over-baked and consomme salty. Food over-priced. Returned for one last meal, but wouldn't return again based on my last visit.

Laksa Seafood Curry

So sad to hear one of my favorite restaurants Mariposa will be closing end of May. I have to go few more times before they're closing. Made reservation on Sunday brunch. Requested outdoor seating. Restaurant look very clean and bright. Once we sat down, our server Kyle came to greet us. Overall service was excellent. 1. Consommé - alway my favorite. Free refill. 2. Bread with strawberry butter - the bread was very airy and crispy, the strawberry butter was just right, not over sweetened. 3. Laksa curry - the best laksa on the island, lots of ingredients included clams, ahi filet, prawns, eggplants, scallops. It came with rice. Delicious. 4. Crab pasta - the portion was big with lots of crab meat. The sauce was very creamy. Delicious. 5. Wagyu Cheeseburger - the party was juicy and cooked perfectly. The fries were so crunchy and flavorful. They also included salad as well. 6. Clam chowder - very creamy and delicious. Mariposa will be missed. Hopefully they'll open a new one at other location.

03/11/26 Food was excellent!.. think they are short staffed as the popover guy wasn't as available... he was busy bussing tables. It was very busy and will be missed. One if the best lunches I've ever had there. Scallops were amazingly delicious! Corn chowder and steak salad, delicious.

I heard Neiman Marcus was closing so I took it as an opportunity to eat at their associated restaurant, Mariposa! It's located on the 3rd floor. You can either enter from inside the mall or from the parking structure and take an elevator up. The interior was so cute, I loved the ceiling fans and the balcony views of the beach. We started with complimentary bread and butter. The bread was fluffy and perfectly flaky, but the star was the butter. It had a hint of sweetness! Our main entrees were the Chicken Paillard Milanese & Shrimp Puttanesca. The chicken was very crispy & juicy, the arugula salad added a nice fresh component, and the savory tomato sauce brought it all together. As for the pasta, the noodles were cooked perfectly and the shrimps were HUGE. Both very good portions to share. For dessert they gave us a cookie box for my friend's birthday. I'm a sucker for warm chocolate chip cookies and these definitely hit the spot. I need someone to leak their recipe right now!!!

Buddha bowl

Casual ambience. Wonderful service and food was tasty. Our waitress Yoon was great and made sure everything was impeccable. Complimentary bread, strawberry infused butter, and warm soup broth. Got the scallops risotto, pork chops, and Buddha bowl. Then ended with fudge cake.

Mariposa is a lovely restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to sit indoors because it was kinda windy. Their service is top notch! Waters were constantly filled, the complimentary popovers were delicious and our sever was very friendly. I had the roast beef sandwich with fries for an additional $5. The roast beef was okay, nothing really spectacular about it, kinda on the bland side but the arugula, tomatoes, cheese and chimichurri added flavor to the sandwich. It's a pricey restaurant, about $30-40 a head for lunch. I don't know if they have a dinner menu. It was a nice place to reconnect with good friends. I would definitely go again!

Attended the Neiman Marcus Mariposa Christmas breakfast. It was really cute and featured all of the well-known Christmas songs. Dancing was lively. The server was courteous and quick to bring me coffee that I needed since it was a morning event on Saturday. A delicious French toast, scrambled eggs, bacon and pastry breakfast was served. I was placed in the first row and really felt the Christmas spirit. Usually the Mariposa events sell out fast and was glad to be in the audience.

Mariposa is a great spot for a business lunch or a relaxed professional meeting. The open-air atmosphere captures the Hawaiʻi breeze beautifully and offers a lovely view of Ala Moana Beach Park, creating a calm yet upscale setting. The food is consistently excellent. They start with their signature popover--my personal favorite--which I enjoyed so much this time that I completely forgot to take a photo. On this visit, I ordered the pork chop, while my colleague had the crab pasta. Both dishes were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious, with great balance and flavor. Service is top-notch. The staff is friendly, attentive, and professional, making the overall experience seamless and enjoyable. Highly recommended for business lunches, client meetings, or anytime you want dependable food and great ambiance.

Popover with Strawberry butter
Wayne I.

Looking for a place with great customer service, good food and a view? Then checkout Mariposa located in Neiman Marcus at the Ala Moana Shopping Center. It's not a "cheap eat" place but worth it if service, food and ambiance matters to you. You start off with complimentary consomme and popovers with whipped strawberry butter. We had the Laksa Curry, Crab Pasta and Braised Beef with Polenta. Everything was good except for the Polenta. We pushed ourselves to have dessert-Acai Parfait and a Lilikoi dessert (sorry, forgot the name). Plantation iced tea and Cafe Mocha were good choices for a lunch meal. Pro tip: Ask to sit on the patio next to the railing if possible. Great view of Ala Moana Beach park. Love that they put the shade down so it doesn't feel like you're eating in the sun.

Braised Pork Belly & Seared Scallops
Rebecca L.

Found out mariposa is closing and had to make sure to get the popover one more time! Made reservations online and sat outside on the balcony. Despite the weather the view was super nice and my boyfriend and I had a nice dinner. Unfortunately the night we went there was no fish of the day and their blender was down so it changed our original planned orders. I ended up ordering the penne and my boyfriend had the wagyu burger. We also had the corn chowder and pork with scallops as a starter. Food and service were all great! Pasta was slightly on the spicy side but flavored well. We went on a Thursday night so it was their Sunset menu but we plan to go again for their full lunch menu before they close.

Making reservations on opentable is ezpz. We had tickets for 730, so we had an early dinner on a saturday at 5pm. Not busy when we arrived but by 6pm, it was packed. So make the reservation. I ordered the carbonara which was creamy and delicious. I'm not italian so i don't know how authentic it was but it was GOOD. My date ordered a salad with Korean Fried Chicken and beets. I don't know anything about beats but the KFC was FANTASTIC. Sugary deliciousness. We had a slice of olive oil cake with a spoon of rocky road to go with it. OMG. The olive oil cake is so delicious. It's almost like a pound cake but i guess made with olive oil so it also had this nice crust to it. But I would come back every single day for the rocky road ice cream. It was just rocky road but it was really good. Prices were average for honolulu. And service was good, not great. I guess the inside is pretty spacious in terms of tables but they pack you in like sardines so you can't help but be in your neighbors conversation. And it's a bit loud. So maybe not the ideal first date unless you go at an off hour where it's less crowded. Or maybe the bar seating would also work. 10/10 would 100% recommend to anyone.

The top with the caramel was very bitter and I was surprised. The cake itself was good though. We also ordered the rocky road icecream because they said it won an award (?) and that was really good. I would order the ice cream again. The service was great, kept checking on us and refilling our waters. We sat outside and it's a very small area, would recommend being on the inside.

A special thank you to Jessica K. for her incredible service and excellent recommendations. The dinner menu offered so many delicious options that it was difficult to choose! We started with a Blood Orange Margarita and a Grapefruit Basil Martini - both were refreshing and absolutely delicious. From the spring menu, we selected two appetizers: Eggplant Arancini and Lamb Skewers. All we can say is - WOW! Truly outstanding. Although we were already quite full, we decided to share the Macadamia-Nut-Crusted Fresh Catch. Once again, everything from the flavor and temperature to the presentation was five-star quality. The fish was perfectly tender with a wonderfully crunchy crust. The almond rice was an excellent accompaniment, and the grilled asparagus was the best we've had in a long time - perfectly cooked. For dessert, we had the Pineapple Crème Brûlée. Make sure to save room for this - it's smooth, silky, and absolutely delicious.

MĀZE was the standout highlight meal of my trip to Hawaii this year. The chef's menu with drink…read morepairing was easily Michelin-star worthy. Taste, presentation, service, ambiance -- MĀZE really had it all nailed down. If there's one meal you should book for your trip, make it MĀZE. Although the menu looks short, it is deceptively filling. You start off your meal with a few amuse bouche bites. It's really a wonderful start, because the salmon toast was one of the best bites I had all night. The smoked salmon was melt in your mouth tender and the toast was fried to perfection. Another bite I really enjoyed early on was their "Fat bastard" oyster. I've never had this type of oyster before, but this one was especially plump, sweet, and had just the right amount of brininess to it. There's honestly not a single straightforward bite across the courses: everything has layers upon layers of flavor and a complexity that really accentuates the talent of the head chef. After the first course, there's an option to add a supplemental course for $34 -- a "Wagyu musubi". I cannot emphasize enough that this addition is a must. If you're coming as a couple, it's large enough that you're able to share a single one so that each person gets two bites. This bite is as delicious as it looks. The Wagyu is rich and fatty, and the crispy nori is the textural element that breaks up the melt-in-your-mouth texture of the beef. The tare delicately brushed on top adds a bit of saltiness to the dish and doesn't take away from the enjoyment and appreciation of the Wagyu itself. Another bite that I'll forever remember is the Jeju abalone dish. Served over a bed of finely minced edamame and served in a chicken jus, the dish had sweet, savory, umami, and all the right textures. I ate this dish especially slowly because I wanted to savor each and every bite for as long as possible. The abalone is tender and cooked perfectly -- not rubbery whatsoever. I overheard a chef saying that the tasting menu changes every month, and we had visited when they were mid-cycle. I believe some of the permanent menu items include the bourbon barrel smoked salmon toast and the wagyu musubi, but I really hope to see the Jeju abalone dish again someday when I visit in the future. Since MĀZE is from the the duo behind the famous cocktail bar -- Bar Leather Apron, just down the street, you would expect nothing less than extraordinary cocktails for the cocktail pairing. I can confidently say that there was not a single drink pairing that I was disappointed with -- both on the alcoholic and non-alcoholic side. My favorite cocktail of the night was their take on an Old Fashioned that was served with the Washugyu flat iron galbi course. I simply cannot say enough good things about MĀZE. Do yourself a favor and book a reservation right after you book your plan tickets to Oahu -- you won't regret it.

After reading the write up in the NY Times decided I had to splurge and try it even though I…read morecouldn't imagine drinking a cocktail with each course without getting wasted. So glad I went with the cocktail pairing bc I wanted the whole experience. It was really lovely and fun to sit at the counter watching all the young people assemble the food so carefully and our bartender craft our drinks. Each drink was perfect - either refreshing or light or sweet or smoky and really did complement each dish. My fave was the egg white gin one that came with the fish course. My fave foods were the charred lettuce that came with the meat course and the shave ice was superb - corn syrup and plenty of black sesame it was not too sweet and so refreshing! Overall a very special meal and a place to keep in the rotation for special occasions. I'd say definitely go with the cocktail pairings bc that is what makes this place unique. Also if you want to get some courses with a mocktail instead of getting all four as cocktails they will accommodate that - then you don't need to get as tipsy. I wanted to try all the cocktails so I just didn't end up finishing each drink - not bc they weren't delicious, they were! I just didn't want to go past pleasantly buzzed. We didn't get any add ons and were still full by the end of the meal. Clean bathrooms and bright space and awesome service. Not a single misstep.
