Central to MARA’s culinary journey is a rotating fresh market seafood list where guests are invited to select their preferred fish and preparation inspired by the various cuisines that encompass the Mediterranean Basin. Our chef’s creativity is complemented by an elevated beverage program showcasing bespoke cocktails with in-house-made elements and a world-class wine list.

A friend took me there earlier tonight for my birthday. We got there during happy hour and were pleasantly surprised by the prices and number of items on the happy hour menu. It ends at 5:30 and lots of places end it at 5 so we started out with a good impression. She got the Kailua pig quesadillas and I got fish and chips. She ordered the green beans as well. Everything was delicious! Our waiter was friendly and was very familiar with the food and drinks on the menu. My cocktail was called something crush. Yummy! Overall a really great experience.

We loved the Monkeypox. Excellent ambience for Christmas dinner and the best food and drinks. We particularly loved the fish and chips and I had the special - a snapper with fried shrimp and cheddar polenta that was to die for. We celebrated with N/A mai tais for our family and ended the meal with the best pies and gelatos. Thank you Monkeypod for making our first Christmas away from home a special one.

Everything we ordered was flavorful. We tried here mainly because they indicated a vegetable broth used for their vegan pho. 1 of us is a vegan and the rest were not. For our vegan diner they also had a delicious tofu bahn mi and tofu spring roll. All the dishes we ordered were tasty. They only had 1 waitress. It was busy for her so 1 of the kitchen help came out to take our order. The restaurant is pretty plain, like cafeteria style seats and table, so it was pretty casual dining.
