Mahina

Am absolute pleasure having found this place, a gem right in the midlde of the Keys. Upscale, classy, modern beach destination and fun. We ordered their special last night which was a Seafood Pasta everything from Shrimp, Scallops, Clams, King Prawns and Lobster it was amazing. We also ordered one of their delicious Steaks served with baby Broccoli and Mashed Potatoes, one of the best Steaks we have had in the Keys. Staff were friendly and fun to have helping us. Mahina is definitely a place to book for dinner even if your not staying at the resort.

Lovely views around sunset, plenty of seating never too close to another table. Garth is an amazing host, be sure to ask for him to take care of you! He made our night! Ordered the whole snapper and it's enough to feed two! Consider swapping the rice for coconut rice to give it a Caribbean flare.

This restaurant is beautifully situated and a wonderful atmosphere. Staff was very friendly. However, the food was awful. Like not just meh but truly gross. We got the snapper (whole unseasoned fish cooked terribly), the salmon (weird flavor and didn’t taste fresh), flatbread (soggy) and a salad (completely undressed). I’m not sure what is going on here but if you’re going to charge $40-50 an entree, it better be amazing or at least edible! I’ve had better food at an Applebees, it’s really a huge disappointment. The Isla Bella in general is gorgeous but the food here and everywhere else at the resort is really sub par and negatively colors the entire experience. I heard other guests express the same frustrations. I hope they completely rework their menu.

Wow. What an incredible place. The view and the atmosphere are simply outstanding. The food incredible too.

Food is very much overpriced. Pasta was overcooked. Eat at the beachbar instead!

Mahina Restaurant boasts the best ocean view, complete with a friendly and courteous staff, fantastic ocean-facing seating arrangements, and a beautiful ambiance. However, my enthusiasm doesn't extend to the food. The prices are quite high, averaging around $40-50 per dish, and unfortunately, the taste of the dishes fell flat in comparison. Vegetarian options were scarce. While I did enjoy their key lime pie and found their salads tasty, relying solely on salads for dinner isn't ideal. It's my suggestion that the management should focus on improving both the taste and pricing of their menu. The restaurant appears to cater primarily to hotel guests, and for the prices charged, it would be wise to enhance the dining experience. A meal for two easily surpasses $100, excluding the 18-22% tip. I was informed that reservations are mandatory, but I rarely observed many patrons in the restaurant, even though the resort's guest parking was nearly full. Vegetarian options: I found only salads and may be some pasta in kids menu
