    Came here as a recommendation from YouTuber Jaycation and so glad we did. I am slightly hard of hearing and she was softly spoken but I believe our hostess was Chrissy. She was kind and friendly and explained dishes to us when we asked questions. Overall, if we had time we would have gone back, but definitely will recommend. Food and drinks were great. We did pop in at lunchtime to make sure we knew where it was for the evening and the barman was friendly too, training a new guy who made our Mango #5 perfectly.

    At first we were sad that the menu changed a bit from our last meal at Mahina and Sun's - about a year ago. But , with some explanations from Jules we ended upputting together a really good family meal that also was safe for our celiac friend. Jules remembered us from a comical situation involving a stubborn aunty and her expectations of a martini glass . Still love the restaurant !

    Stopped in for dinner because we are staying in the hotel, and was excited to go! I’m not sure if it was because it was a slow night but the only server working was also the host. I will say the she was the only saving grace for the experience. The food was very “dive bar”, my husband and I both agreed we could have gotten better fast food or even food at the abc store. The menu definitely needs a revamp!

    This is our 3rd time here and we love the small plates menu selection. The fried opakapaka whole fish was delicious and everyone enjoyed it. Highly recommend Mahina & Sons!

    The servers and service was great The food was good but the menu changed from our visit last year which seemed more “upscale”. The appetizer came just seconds before the entrees so that wasn’t preferred. However, the staff and servers were exceptional. Great menu for casual fare.

    Service was terrible, with inexperienced staff and mediocre food in a strange Palm Springs-vibe hotel; it was not a great experience.
