I only come here about once every five years, and it always amazes me each time. Great food, wonderful service, relaxing atmosphere. Mariposa is located on the third floor of Neiman Marcus in Ala Moana, which explains a lot. Everything is airy here: white walls, light brown tropical-inspired fans, direct view of the Pacific Ocean, and even the chairs have this thick weave pattern through which you can see through the large openings.
My favorite thing about this place has to be the popovers. Oh yes, their famous popovers. Instead of boring bread, they serve these AIRY (apparently my word-of-the-day) popovers, served with apple butter when I went. Soft, light, and melts in your mouth - these popovers are the perfect introduction to the rest of your meal.
Next I ordered my entrée: pork tenderloin, which was sliced and placed on top of a layer of kale and mashed potatoes, surrounded by brown butter apple shire sauce. Deliciosa. Service here is impeccable - probably one of the best in Hawaii. I definitely don't want to wait another five years to return.
