Review:
We had a large party of 8 and when we arrived, our table wasn’t ready. Since they didn’t have a bar, we walked two doors down to their sister restaurant to enjoy a cocktail while we waited. 10 minutes later we were called to our table. The service was prompt, friendly and sincere. The food was just incredible!!!!!! I am a steak snob and their rib eye was tops!!! I had read the previous reviews before our dining and almost cancelled based on the other comments. But I’m glad I didn’t, because I was the hero of our group of friends for recommending such a great place. No complaints amongst anyone, in fact, just the opposite…..rave reviews!! We will be dining there again soon and will recommend Mahalo to other freinds and family. We had four adults and two younger children with us for our first visit.
We had 5pm reservations, brought our own wine, which the corkage fee is $20.00. For a place like this that was $10-$15 to much! Dinner went good, food is good although so overpriced for the area. At about 7pm we were finishing up with dessert, our bill was $350 with tip and the manager came up to our table and asked us to leave because the next reservation was waiting for our table. I was so upset. I wrote a letter, mgt offered $50.00 off our next visit, but I have not been back because $50.00 does not even cover two people, and we were six people inconvienced.
* Pros: good seafood, nice presentation
* Cons: price, parking, service
