Fairly priced full tasting menu, excellent experience. A must for Hawaiian fine-dining! Can’t wait to see this place evolve— decor stuck in decades past, too empty for a Friday evening.

This was a fabulous meal! Service was perfect--friendly and attentive without ever being pushy or overbearing. The variety of food was amazing, as were the combinations of flavors and textures. Wines were expertly paired to each course, and they had a nice selection of non-alcoholic specialties as well. This was easily the best meal I've had in Hawaii, and one of the best of my life! Thank you, Chef Mavro, for a spectacular experience!

Highlight was Chef personally presenting his famed onaga dish which was outstanding. Some notes: Too much qualitative difference between 4 and 6 course tasting menus. Go big or go home. Wine pairings on six course were not impressive. Uneven. Was looking for buildup along with courses from light to a full bodied red for the last course lamb. Lobster course was chewy. Onaga was outstanding. Terrific service

This remains the best fine dining restaurant in Honolulu. Yes, Chef Mavros lacks the ocean view of a La Mer, but we find the quiet dining room to be a serene change, a place completely outside the bustle of Waikiki. The innovation and the elegance of the food and the quality of the service is really unmatched. Nowhere in Hawaii do you find local ingredients prepared in such outstanding ways. Everything that comes out of the kitchen is perfect, in flavor, in ingredients, in presentation. The seafood bourride was the best we’ve ever tasted, a light velvety sauce covering a beautiful piece of perfectly-steamed island fish. The coq au vin was simply elegant, small pieces of excellent poultry with just a touch of sauce. And the risotto with truffles melted in the mouth. As always, we enjoyed the wine pairings. The Mavro team knows exactly what wines enhance their food and the food, likewise, enhances the wines. Yes, we know that the price will be higher than that of most restaurants. But Mavros is a special place and we’ll worth it.
