Opened in the hip new Surfjack Hotel & Swim Club in April 2016, Mahina & Sun’s made a huge splash immediately upon its arrival here.
This eatery is a gem in the bustle of Waikiki. Dishes are made with organic ingredients and advanced techniques. The restaurant’s name, bestowed by original owner Sean Williams, reflects its focus on sustainability, with a nod toward “the sun and moon on the ocean,” and its treasures of seafood, explains general manager Lynette Eastman.

“Mahina & Sun’s follows the Town philosophies of sustainability and fresh, local seafood, produce, and ingredients blended together for a wonderful culinary experience,” Eastman says.

And the food is magnificent. Executive chef (and local girl) Nani Kuloloia and a team that includes chef de cuisine Elvia Villatoro continue offering beloved dishes like Town’s Ahi Tartar and Mahina’s Family Feast (featuring whole deep sea snapper, mochiko-fried or steamed), while developing new favorites and instant classics.
