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.

    Dipping trio with fresh pita is a must, great cocktails, great fish - try the monchong with greek preparation - incredible mild white fish similar to black cod, crazy good lemon sauce. Very popular, at times waited a little for our server but considering how busy the restaurant was, it wasn't bad overall. Would definitely love to return.

    The service was lacking and slow. Entrees came out at different times. The food was ok but certainly not up to snuff for the price point. We found the whole experience very average and overpriced. At this price point one would expect the serve’s attention to things like refilling water etc… the food was average, the service was lacking and overall we were disappointed. I would not recommend this establishment and will not return. There are many great restaurants in the area at this price point that are far better value for the money.

    Thank you Puka! (Sorry if the spelling is wrong) we had the trio appetizer, and the kebab combos for lunch. We tried the Mezcal horchata cocktail and it was delicious. Mahalo!

    Great food. I loved and enjoyed Tasting Trio, Burrata, tzatziki and hummus were so delicious. We loved Hand cut linguine, so rich with citrus and uni flavor. Servers and staffs were friendly. We live close by, definitely will come back soon again. Thank you so much.

    The breakfast options were good. The best thing on the menu is the Shakshouka for breakfast. The Yuzu pancakes were a bit sweet for my taste, but overall the experience was great. I did not try the continental breakfast because that is normally a staple for hotel restaurants. I plan to revisit Mara to experience their brunch options.
