Mediterranean cuisine is a way of life, one that respects the land, the people, and the way we eat. These principles are mirrored in Hawaiian culture and MARA Restaurant & Bar celebrates this connection by highlighting the historical cuisines of modern day Greece, Italy, and beyond while working in harmony with the bounty of ingredients from Hawaii’s plentiful and revered āina, from mauka to makai. Central to MARA’s culinary journey is a rotating fresh market seafood list where guests are invited to select their preferred fish and preparation inspired by the various cuisines that encompass the Mediterranean Basin. Our chef’s creativity is complemented by an elevated beverage program showcasing bespoke cocktails with in-house-made elements and a world-class wine list. Join us on this exploration and let your mind, body, and soul set sail across the Mediterranean.

    Drinks and calamari was delicious. My steak and fish entree was just ok. I had the monchong with Greek style which lemon and olive oil…it was too tangy for me. Ribeye wasn’t worth the $80 price tag. I’ll just be back for the drinks and calamari

    Excellent food and service. DJ was playing nice music and not to loud to hear each other’s conversations while eating dinner. Highly recommend this restaurant for dinner.

    The appetizers are solid. We ordered the trio dips. Best thing here. Fried zucchini was good, but it's basically tempura. Fish entree was meh. Very salty and nothing special. Pavlova dessert was way too sweet. May come back for their small plates at Happy Hour.

    That was on Thanksgiving Day brunch time. Online information was not enough so, we didn't plan to have TKG menu as a result, needed to pick up less items than usual. Besides that, they are good though.

    I had a 6pm reservation that I changed to 6:30pm that morning when I called the restaurant directly. When we arrived the hostess was so incredibly rude to my gf and she was sitting at the table crying. I thought it was a mistake and went to speak with her and she was again extremely rude to me and said “you want the manager - he’s right there!) I was in a state of shock. (She was upset because it said our rese was at 6:15 and we arrived at 6:30). We were sat in the bar area. I did bring it to the attention of the manager that said he would “handle it”. I’m not sure what he meant by that, but the correct thing would have been to have the hostess come over r and apologize to all of us. Instead, he brought an additional drink we never requested or ordered and thought that would fix things. I will NEVER return to this restaurant! I have worked in restaurants for years and know the business well. The restaurant business is not difficult to navigate and be successful, but for some it is. I just don’t get it. This restaurant is not a local spot and I will never return there and be sure to tell all my friends!!!

    Wonderful ambiance and nice waitstaff. Menu is a mixed bag of Southern European/Mediterranean. My cocktail, hummus, and ahi were good, but the vegetarian options for my husband were not so great especially considering the price. The mshroom kebabs are only giant mushrooms (with one piece of zucchini and a little eggplant on the side) and not well seasoned. A mixed veggie kebab with couscous would have been better option for vegetarians. The zucchini chips and kabocha squash were also just okay.
