This place used to be Mahalo, which I like much much more than this new take-over. This “beach” theme just felt generic and lazy. Nothing to write home about. Honestly would not go again or suggest this to anyone. If you do end up there, the pina colada’s aren’t bad but I’ve certainly had better.

This restaurant is amazing however, I just wish they gave you more food. Myself and all of my friends were still hungry after ordering a full meal. Also they do allow you to substitute or add on anything.

I was there with friends for the 4th of July. The food and drinks were decent if perhaps a bit overpriced. I got the island bowl with smashed avocado, which was just rice, beans, greens, plantains, salsa, and guacamole. It was good, but probably not worth the $12. The 5 of us shared a pitcher of the berry mojito, which was light and refreshing. The ambience was great- very island feel. However, we were seated on the rooftop and it was quite hot and sunny. The service was a little slow, but they admitted to being short-staffed for the holiday.

Stopped here for brunch. I guess this restaurant used to be Mahalo. I was pretty disappointed that the menu in the restaurant did not match the one that had been posted online. Having just relocated from Hawaii I was expecting some Ono Grindz, but most of the traditional Hawaiian and Hawaiian-fusion foods were missing from the brunch menu. I don’t think the Hawaiian decor really fits the menu... why there are Kona Surfboards and no Kona beers on the menu is beyond me. I think it would be good for them to maybe go in a more SOCAL direction with the decor since that better matches the current menu. The frosé was tasty, and the food was pretty alright. The Rooftop was cute, but really needs some outdoor fans or misters for the summer time.

When we arrived for our reservation we were greeted by an extremely rude hostess. Fortunately our waitress was the exact opposite, and made the evening quite enjoyable. Service is great, drinks were tasty and the food was amazing. Definitely plan on going back.

It’s not Mahalo’s anymore! Was super disappointing to get there and see that was the restaurant that I made the reservation. One more couple left the place just like us

Mahalo (now The Beach Social) was great. The food was delicious and the interior was SO cute. My only qualm is that between making my reservation and actually going to brunch there, they rebranded and changed their menu. They didn't have a new brunch menu yet when I went. I likely still would have gone if I'd known about the change, but it would be nice to have gotten the heads up before trying to find the restaurant.

My first time at Mahalo wasn't bad, but the food was nothing to write home about. My 2nd time at Mahalo was definitely worse. For starters, they don't use air conditioning. I made the mistake of going on a hot, humid day, and their ceiling fans and open windows did nothing to remedy the utter discomfort of breathing in steamy air while your body sticks to the table and chairs. All we could think about was how to hurry up and get out of there so we could go eat ice cream at Jeni's next door just to cool off. Their rationale is they're trying to give you an island experience, but it doesn't make sense for business because who wants to eat a big meal while sitting in a sauna??? Also, it's extremely unappealing to see the chefs and wait staff constantly wiping sweat off their faces. They just rebranded themselves under a new restaurant called Beach House Social, so hopefully the new place is more prepared to handle the plentiful hot weather of a Chicago summer. Now, let's talk about the food. The veggie poke is unlike any veggie poke I've ever had, and that's not a good thing. I didn't taste a single traditional poke flavor. It was basically some bland vegetables drizzled with a tangy red sauce, and a side of bug. Yes, that's right - there was a dead bug stuck to my dish. It wasn't a live bug that flew in through the open windows because it was very much dead and stuck to my plate. (Thankfully, they didn't end up charging me for this dish.) My cousin ordered a seafood omelette, which contained a shrimp shell, and my other cousin ordered fish poke, which contained a bone.
