I have been wanting to go to Mara since they first opened earlier this year inside the Renaissance Honolulu Hotel on Kapiolani Blvd. The reviews have been good so we decided to try it for Date Night. The look is bright and fresh with a nice attention to details. Loved the woodwork and lamps. Our server was great and overall service was good. Food however didn't deliver on flavor for me. Started with the Greek Yogurt Tzatziki with Baked Pita.
This was a nice starter that was light and pretty good. The Baked Pita was perfect. The Beet & Citrus Salad was all Beets and they were delicious. Problem was they covered the Beets with spices that I really didn't like. Might have been Cumin. Wife liked it more than me.
The Grilled Mediterranean Octopus was a bit chewy and very bland. The Linguine Frutti di MAR(A) was cooked perfectly but according to my Wife was very tart with too much lemon. The Lamb Wellington was cooked nicely but the Lamb did not seem to have bee seasoned. The wrapper was dry and tasteless. This meal was not satisfying and I would not return.
