Mariposa At Neiman Marcus - Honolulu

Can't believe I've been sleeping on Mariposa for so long! Came here for the first time for lunch with a friend and the overall experience was amazing, if a bit pricey. I appreciate that they do complimentary popovers with strawberry butter a cup of bone broth soup to start the popover was just okay, but the bone broth was really flavorful. We got the salmon ochazuke and laksa curry both came out with super short wait times and were delicious. I'm used to my laksa having more of a kick and with noodles instead of rice, but still enjoyed the creaminess and taste of the curry all the seafood components were perfectly cooked. My friend loved the salmon ochazuke as also perfectly cooked and on point for Japanese comfort food. We split the macadamia nut tart for dessert crust was yummy. Especial points go to the service which is attentive without being intrusive and they were so kind to let us sit and catch up in peace without feeling rushed at all. Ambiance is peaceful and breezy and I will definitely be back!

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.

A beautiful brunch at Neiman Marcus. Every single dish we had was perfection. The meal started with a flavorful consume and the most delicious popover. I love the guava butter that comes with the popovers. Those two are such classic staples of NM Mariposa restaurant. My husband and I split a crab and shrimp louis salad which was delicious and perfectly cooked with the tastiest thousand island style dressing. For our entrees, we split a lobster sandwich (we were hungry) and my husband had the braised duck special while I opted for the chicken Milanese. All of the dishes were perfectly cooked and such a delight to eat. My daughter had the chicken tenders and the complimentary gelato that the kids meals come with. We were so happy at the end of our meal. Despite eating a lot of food, we didn't leave feeling heavy or tired. We were full but energized... reminded me of what it felt like to eat and go about your day in your early 20s . The prices are fair and not expensive when you consider that most of these dishes cost about as much as it would to eat at a Nordstrom or any other restaurant. The ambiance and soft Hawaiian music was so relaxing as well, I can't recommend eating at the Mariposa restaurant enough.

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.

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.
