Mahina Marathon

I finally decided to try dinner at Mahina, and now it will be a place I frequent. The ambience and setting are gorgeous! A soft sandy beach with a spectacular sunset view, beautiful architecture, outstanding waitstaff (Tiffany was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable) and delicious food and drinks await you. I was beyond impressed by all Mahina offers. After dinner I spent some time outside listening to live music. They have a bar and firepits outdoors to finish your perfect evening.

We started our evening sitting at the bar for a couple of drinks. The restaurant itself is very beautiful looking. The bartender was super nice. Can’t remember his name but I know he is Brazilian. He was friendly and made small talk was us. My wife and I were the only ones at the bar so he made the time pleasant having some small talk. We then decided to make a reservation for that evening at 8:30. We were excited about the specials that the bartender informed us about. When we got there the dining room was full due to the rain so they brought in an outside table for us. The dining room is smaller .. fits around 40 people probably. Because of it being full and many tables having children it was very loud. Unfortunately that made our anniversary dinner a little less romantic.. it was also difficult to even hear our waitress speak. Another unfortunate thing was that both the specials that we wanted were already sold out which was surprising because it really wasn’t that busy there… again the dining room was only full because of the rain. Our waitress was very kind though. We decided to just order the steak special, a Caesar salad and the conch chowder. The food was good.. not spectacular but good. They did give us a complementary dessert for our anniversary which was very kind. I do think that our waitress felt bad because the table next to us was so loud and that the two specials we came for were sold out. Of course that’s no one’s fault, it happens.
