Chef Alan Takasaki is back in the restaurant scene as the general manager of
Mariposa at Neiman Marcus. Many remember his legendary Le Bistro Restaurant in Aina Haina.With execu- tive chef Lance Kosaka, they are creat- ing unique experiences and offering guests a unique version of dinner and a show titled Sunset Lounge (the show being the daily sunset that guests can see while dining at Mariposa with un- obstructed views).
We sampled Rudolph’s Red Nose, the featured holiday beverage, and heartier options that were added to the menu. Alan also shares what the future of dining looks like at Mariposa, and the story behind everyone’s favor- ite popovers with strawberry butter.
AL: What changes have taken place with the menu?
