Mediterranean cuisine is a way of life, one that respects the land, the people, and the way we eat. These principles are mirrored in Hawaiian culture and MARA Restaurant & Bar celebrates this connection by highlighting the historical cuisines of modern day Greece, Italy, and beyond while working in harmony with the bounty of ingredients from Hawaii’s plentiful and revered āina, from mauka to makai. 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. Join us on this exploration and let your mind, body, and soul set sail across the Mediterranean.
Pinot Noir Reimagined: A Journey Through Four Unique Expressions
Join us this month for Pinot Noir Reimagined, an exploration of this noble grape’s incredible versatility. We begin with a Pét-Nat from The Hilt Estate in Santa Barbara, a lively, fizzy take on Pinot Noir. Then, a 14-year-old Pinot from Fred Scherrer showcases the beauty of aged California wine. Next, we head to Patagonia for Bodega Chacra’s elegant, biodynamic expression, and finally, we’ll taste a rare WHITE Pinot Noir from Cavallotto in Piedmont.
