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.

  • Wine Tasting & Pupus: A Taste to Savor Corsica

    US$61.00 per person

    Prepaid

    12 Jan 2025 only
    15:30
    Join us this month for Island Expressions: A Taste to Savor Corsica, a journey through four exceptional wines from this storied Mediterranean island. Each wine comes from family-owned estates and offers a distinct perspective on what Corsica has to say to the wine world. Known as a hidden gem in rosé production—perhaps the only place that could be spoken of in the same breath as Provence—Corsica boasts an unmatched quality and unique identity. This lineup showcases a captivating range, from the authentic, rugged expressions of two traditional vignerons to the refined styles crafted by winemakers with a more modern approach. Together, these wines paint a vivid portrait of Corsica’s vinous diversity and charm.

    We had the hummus appetizer, grilled scallops entree and kabocha and fingerling potato sides. All were excellent. The pita bread that came with the hummus was warm and soft and delicious.

    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.
