Our food was very good and worth the price but the sides were ok and over priced for what they were. We knew Mina’s would be more casual in comparison to Noa’s (which we’ve also dined in and enjoyed) but may have expected just a little more. Perhaps our expectations are a bit too high. We will likely return during the day or sunset to take advantage of the beautiful views.

Great service, food was excellent. We even had a front row seat for viewing a fireworks show! (It didn’t have anything to do with the restaurant). The fish was fresh and well prepared. The various sauces were excellent. I had yellowtail tuna with foie gras. The dish was fine, very pretty and for the most part tasted good. I don’t like raw fish and this was raw (on purpose). Others really liked their dishes.

First the good: the food here is amazing if a little pricey. Unfortunately the quality of service was very low. The server asked us if we'd like drinks moments after handing us the drink menu. When we said we needed a moment to review they did not return for some time. The food and drinks came out at a very slow pace and the servers gave us no indication of how much longer the food would be to come out.

We had a last dinner in here for our honeymoon. It was a right choice! What server recommended was perfect and food serving was also good. (Slow and in sequence) I would like to come and have dishes again ! Recommend: grilled shellfish including lobster, oyster and butterfish, electric cocktail!

9/12: Great location and very good food. We waited over 30 min for our drink order. Once we had our drinks the service was better but the delay set a bad tone. It was our anniversary dinner and they asked us about it but did not do anything special. 9/21 Update: We were contacted by Mina's management and invited to try them again so that they could correct the service issue. We had dinner last night and were totally blown away by the service and food. Everything was exceptional! They even provided several complimentary items including an amazing 40th anniversary dessert tray. Can't say enough about how special they made the night.

Food was amazing! We got the butterfish and swordfish and both were outstanding. The only thing that would have made it better was our check in experience. In spite of reservations made months in advance (which probably wasn’t necessary, btw) in which we specifically requested an outdoor table as close to the water as possible, they closed those sections due to possible inclement weather (that never materialized). And we were told if we wanted the section that was still at least outdoors and in view of water (vs in a garden annex section out of sight of all water or indoors) we were being warned we ‘might have to wait forever’. So that wasn’t great. I felt sort of bad that we were persistent about eating in that area. And also they didn’t have their unusual live musician for possible inclement weather (that never materialized), and that did impact the atmosphere—we’d heard the live music the night before and really wanted to enjoy that. But we understand weather (or possible threat of it that never materialized) is under no one’s control. Nonetheless, we did get seated in the outdoor covered area and did not have to wait forever, and once there the service was excellent and food amazing, so I only took 1 little star off overall for the less than welcoming check in process. We’ll definitely be going back a few more times!

I don’t dine out often but went there for my anniversary, and let me tell you the food was great! Better than I expected it to be. I’ve been to a few other high end places that the food wasn’t even worth it! Our server Damon was also great and personable. The NY steak is what I was worried about because we love a good steak and usually get let down. That steak was good! Seasoned and cooked to our liking. Will definitely go there again!

Minas used to be my favorite restaurant on Ko Olina. They no longer have a happy hour menu apparently as of July 31st. The food has gone done bill tremendously. Caesar salad bland and only 5 pieces of lettuce? Duck fat fried looks good but had 0 taste, diddnt even taste like potatoes. Beef lettuce wraps, terrible. Beef tasted like it had been boiled, then fried until complete dried out. Told the servers that the food wasn’t good or up to par for the extremely high prices their commanding and they diddnt care. They said sorry and walked away. I know prices are high here and that’s fine, but it’s not OK with to serve portion sizes for a toddler that is flavorless and poorly prepared. I should have listened to the other recent reviews saying the food was abysmal. Total pass on this place now, too bad people will still flock to it because of its location and Michael Mina’s name slapped on to the restaurant.
Mina's Fish HouseResponded on September 7, 2023
Aloha, thank you for taking the time to leave the review. Many guests enjoy the ability to now enjoy the food that was previously on Happy Hour menu along with a full dinner menu. However, your experience with the food is not the experience we want our guests to receive, even with appetizers and sides, and we are sorry that there is some lost trust due to this. We would love to make it up to you, please reach out with your information to carlos@fourseasons if you are so inclined. Regardless, we will take your feedback and pass it along to our Chefs. Mahalo, Carlos, General Manager

Really disappointed. Came here pre-Covid and enjoyed our experience. This time …. not so much. The “specialty” ginger soy scallion kanpachi ($115) tasted like it didn’t have the soy. Definitely bland. The green beans were significantly over cooked. We were surprised this would leave the kitchen. Our kids had the keiki Mac and cheese and also … bland. We’re such fans of Michael Mina restaurants so this one was a big let down.
Mina's Fish HouseResponded on September 7, 2023
Aloha! Your experience with the food is not the experience we want our guests to receive, it should be note that our Ginger-Scallion Kanpachi does not contain any soy, nor would there be any soy flavors. We greatly apologize for this misunderstanding, and we wish could have rectified in the restaurant. Please reach out with your information to carlos@fourseasons if you are going to dine at another Mina Restaurant soon, either on vacation or near your home. We'd love to make it up to you. As always, we will take your feedback and pass it along to our Chefs. Mahalo, Carlos, General Manager

We dined at Mina’s last night, we loved the ambiance, open air Hawaiin and on the water, the Hostess, our Waitress and even the Sommelier were great. Our dinner started with a unique and tasty Cocktail, we then ordered our food. One of our two Apps and our the main dish, were not good, all at higher pricing, even for Hawaii standards, sorry to say but we won’t be going back.
Mina's Fish HouseResponded on September 7, 2023
Keith, sorry to read this review. After the strong start, warm hospitality and delicious drink, we wanted the rest of the evening to go just as beautifully. If there's any way we could speak a little further about this, I would love to do so. Please reach out to Carlos@FourSeasons when you have time, and maybe we can find a way to connect on this experience. Regardless, we will pass on the praise to our service staff, and the area to grow for our kitchen. Mahalo, Carlos

Cameron was the highlight of the evening. He was one of the BEST waiters I have ever had and I am 66 years old and have dined in some of the finest restaurants in NYC and around Hawaii and the Caribbean. His recommendations were spot on (the Butterfish was to die for the endive and crab salad as well as the octopus all of which he recommended) were outstanding. Highly recommend Mina’s.
