La Mariana Sailing Club is an eclectic restaurant located near to Sand Island and near downtown Honolulu. The menu runs the gamut from burgers to sashimi, fish tacos, ahi, kalua pork and more. The staff is very friendly and does an amazing job of keeping clients happy. The ambiance is the restaurant building itself. Built about 50 years ago, it features tiki statues, tropical plants inside and out, an indoor waterfall and a WWII jeep parked outside. La Mariana's has been made famous by being the setting for the TV series Magnum PI. That can make getting a reservation a bit difficult and parking can be a nightmare. read more

It was our first time here and we had an amazing time! IMO it's even more of a tiki bar than Dukes out in Waikiki. Got puffer fish and seashells everywhere. Like the performers said "it's the best kept secret on Oahu." Food and drinks were tasty and reasonably priced. They only take reservations for parties of 6 or more (auto gratuity for large parties). We had a party of 4, but we were sat by the host quickly and our server was very attentive. Even though there were only 2 guys playing music. It was a whole performance. Fantastic! Parking can be difficult as they only have a small lot, but you can park on the side of the dirt roads where there aren't any no parking signs. read more

Went for Valentine's Day and everyone loved it! This is a hidden gem right on the water in the harbor. The ambiance is Old Hawai'i at its best. You'll know that the moment you walk up! The service is friendly and the food was as advertised. I had the sashimi and it was just as fresh and wonderful as I read. Our group had the assortment from burgers to beef dips and everyone was happy. Yes, not 5 star dining of course but everything was great! The picture below was the sunset out the window by our table. We were told live entertainment on Fridays and Saturdays. Great place and I will be back for sure! read more

Surprisingly as a local girl, I had never been to La Mariana sailing club until this year! I was on my high school reunion committee and our reunion was coming up in June. We had planned a full week of events some were sponsored by our school, others were planned by our class. One of my classmates on the reunion committee mentioned this would be a great place to have a Friday night mixer! We scheduled a time to come out here to look over the menu and sample some of the food. It's one of the last few tiki bars in Hawaii. It has an old feel but was really fun! We all enjoyed the indoor decorations. For our Friday night mixer, we bought out the restaurant, got a DJ and had a lot of fun. Service was good, and the bartender was excellent and friendly. The food was hot and tasty, it's not gourmet. It's bar food, but still was good and I enjoyed it. Also had a chance to try some of their margaritas including mango and li hing. You're able to get no margaritas as well. It was a great event and a very memorable Friday night! read more

It's a beauty of a restaurant, in regards to its' mid century tiki decor - both inside and out. Utterly fantastic. The bar, the interior land even the outdoor pergola and tikis holding them up. Superb. It is off the beaten path in an industrial area of warehouses, but right on the water by some sailboats - hence the name. We stopped by on a Saturday around noon. It was completely dead. Only another party or two there. Our waitress was... unpleasant, put out and dismissive is how I would describe it. Even going as far to add some snide comments when asking questions about the menu. WTF. She may want to consider that the guests on vacation, patronizing the restaurant are what actually provide her livelihood. The food landed somewhere between average and sub-par. The two cocktails we had ordered were sugary fruity syrupy messes. We kind of wanted to try some other ones, but were honestly so put out by the piss poor attitude of our waitress that we just stopped there, finished what we could of our meal and wanted to leave. I'd imagine the entire experience would have been at least a little better if we had come on a different day when she was off. I'd be willing to try it again sometime, but then again there are so many choices in Honolulu that I don't know if I will bother. Ticked it up to 3 stars for the decor, but otherwise would have landed at 2. read more

Second time I've checked out this restaurant a once again satisfied with evening here. Located in an industrial area next to a harbor it's in a somewhat unusual location for a restaurant. That being said the view of boat harbor is beautiful and love the old style Tiki Bar appearance inside and out. It is a bit dark inside but doesn't spoil the ambiance. The service was very good, and our meal came out quickly hot and tasty. We all seem to enjoy our meals and pricing was reasonable and average. We meet here for our monthly Bookclub and it wasn't too noisy to hear one another, which was a good thing. If you do not know about this hidden little gem it's worth a try to check out one of the original Tiki Bar and Grills on Oahu. I few tv series scenes have been shot at this location. read more

Excellent service, only Mai Tai that tasted like the Trader Vic's I make following the recipe with the best rum. Other Mai Tai's taste sour or like a mix. The place is cool. The location is awesome.

Sailed here from Hickam Harbor on an outing, which is an awesome feature. The tiki bar motif on the pier is very fitting and sailing in is much nicer than driving here.

Went for lunch. Husband had the shrimp cocktail and I had the French dip with fries which was delish. Frenchdip was not on one of the menus, but it was on the other. Good thing. Also ordered the edamame. We sat at the bar and Lilian served us. She was awesome. We both had a zombie and it was good. Also had a maitai that was also good. No dessert for us. read more

I finally made it here to try out after hearing good things for a while. I likes to unique decor and view of the water but it was a bit hot, next time I'll go in the winter I think. Quite a few flies which I didn't like. Anyway, my friend and I both had the mahi burger with onion rings amd we both enjoyed it. The mahi was cooked just right. Service was super friendly. I'm looking forward to going back and trying other menu items. read more

The Mai Tai drink was delicious. This was a perfect escape from the airport after I dropped off my bags at check in and left the airport instead of waiting around forever. We needed one last dinner and drinks before we sent ourselves back to the ice cold east coast. My cousin took us here and we were not disappointed. They both got the ahi tuna tacos and I got the coconut shrimp. There were some other things but I can't remember now. I had a few mai tais which put me right into snooze land for the bumpy first leg of the journey *note. There was a rat that ran around the restaurant from the outdoor seating area into the indoors area. I mean I can imagine it's hard to keep them out when the indoor outdoor is open from top to bottom buttttt make your own mind up read more

Go for the tiki ambiance and stay for the painkillers, pork nachos and a spectacular sunset near a marina.

It's been more than ten years I visited here. I think last time was,,, I got a request my guest from Japan to come here. This place is famous as "Magnum PI tiki bar". That's mean lots of tourist visit to watch the TV show. Or some tourists post SNS as a hidden hem place you can feel old Hawai'i!? Anyway, we came here as a small group to celebrate uncle's birthday for lunch. Parking is hard. Front of the restaurant space is staff only, so customers have to find a street space(not street parking) or they have some parking spot behind the restaurant. Feels nothing change inside the restaurant (very antique but not dusty old). Here is also "worker shortage" because only two server were working at lunch peak time, so you need a little bit patient to get your table or order or serve. We ordered chips for appetizer that was good. I ordered ahi tacos, that is just right size to kill it. Others ordered, fish & chips, club sandwich, fish burger, and coconuts shrimp from their special. Price is not bad, taste is okay level. Well, it was birthday lunch, so we brought the mini whole cake just little celebrate to uncle. I always felt little concern is it okay to bring dessert when we go to local business restaurants, but every time they said no problem and happy birthday. (Some restaurant staff brought us plates and folks) so there days I had no worries but our waitress said to us NO outside food, we have dessert and no plates and folks provide. (We always bring plates, folks, cake knife, anyway) The way how she told us was little mean, so we all felt WOW. (But uncle was happy he got whole cake by himself! Lol!!) Well, it's nice place to feel old Hawaiian mood especially to take your guest but for me will be back here maybe ten years later. read more

This is a super cute area with a gorgeous view of the boats. We were greeted by a cute tabby out front too. Though advertised online, our waitress told us they did not have a kids menu, leading our 5 year old to eat a la cart off the appetizer menu. The drinks were delicious. I had a virgin Lava Flow (pictured). Our waitress was curt when speaking to us, and didn't bring us waters for about 20 minutes even after we asked. There's no air conditioning so we were very grateful for the breezes through the open windows. However, the flies were numerous. My teriyaki chicken was delicious. My husband's cheeseburger was bland. My friend's fish and chips she says were a "10/10" read more

I've been to La Mariana numerous times over the years and I love the atmosphere. We met some mainland friends there on Wed afternoon. The parking situation can be challenging depending on when you get there. We had reservations but the restaurant was pretty busy. We started with pupus and a few drinks. The food here was never great and this time it was mediocre. The onion rings were mushy as are the French fries, obviously an inferior frozen product. The spring rolls weren't very good either, another pre frozen dish. Nachos were good as were the huge portion of poke bowl. The fish in the fish and chips were good but not the fries. I would return because they have live music some nights and this might be Oahu's last remaining Tiki Bar. read more

I love the authentic vibe here and the amazing Polynesian carving decorations but after many years of appreciating its ambiance, I am afraid the la Mariana has lost its charm. Th zombie was potent and fine but other assortment of drinks was comparable to Applebees , weak and tasteless. The calamari was some truly awful, made of who knows what but it was NOT calamari......thick tired breaded STICKS and the $22 nachos were pitifully small, uninspired and barely eatable. The dinning room was hot and with no air flow, stifling actually and not a place to linger other than admire the great blow fish and Japanese fishing float lanterns. I guess all good things must come to an end and the Mariana is past its prime.... read more

We popped in with a group of 9. The staff was so accommodating and so kind about getting us comfortably situated on a busy night. We were expecting that the drink and food service might be a bit slow given the size of our group and other groups. We were wrong. The service was swift and the food was incredible. Staff 5/5. Service 5/5. Food 5/5. Vibes impeccable. Wonderful spot. read more

Worst...experience...ever, and it was because of one employee that took it upon herself to unnecessarily lecture us before our meal started. We arrived and were sat immediately. Everything was great, and we were having a good time. We waited for about 20-25 mins and realized that no one had come to greet us and begin service. So my wife got up and told the host lady that we would like a server as we hadn't been acknowledged at that point. The host lady apologized and immediately tended to us herself. She brought us waters and took our orders, then left. A few minutes later, our actual server came over to greet us and follow up some missing details from our order. She completed our orders and left...all seemingly good. A few more minutes later, the host lady came back to our table and proceeded to lecture our table. She said, "our servers are new and it's busy, so don't do or say anything to upset them. Don't cause any issues. Just be nice." She repeated it again, and I turned to her and said "we didn't say anything though." I was in disbelief!!! I've never been to any restaurant where an employee thought it was a good idea to lecture customers for something that didn't happen, as if we were going to cause problems. WTF! That changed the entire tone of the evening. The night was done before we even received our food. We were there with our family to enjoy the evening and it couldn't have been any worse anywhere else. My in-laws were quietly celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary, and thanks to the host lady taking upon herself to speak to us the way she did, the celebration was completely ruined. It took everything I had to keep my mouth shut for the sake of not making it worse for my in-laws. That host lady is a piece work to do what she did and speak to us that way. To make it worse, the food was just mediocre, nothing special and certainly not worth having to deal with the bs treatment we received for the host lady. What goes around comes around. read more

La Mariana is always our first stop when we visit Oahu. The drinks are ALWAYS delicious, i've yet to have cocktail here I haven't enjoyed. Solid food within a smaller menu. Fish and Chips were good! 3 pieces of fish and fries. NY Strip Steak Pupu (appetizer) was yummy but for the amount you get it's a bit overpriced at $21. From when we sat down it took around 7 minutes for our server to come to our table, but once she came to introduce herself and take orders, the drinks and food came out reasonably quick. Parking can be a bit of a nightmare, we waited 20 minutes for a spot to open up, and had 3 cars waiting behind us waiting for a spot too. Since it's nestled between factory buildings and private property signs there is no "street parking". If you come around lunch or dinner times, be prepared to have to stake out for a parking spot. Once inside the restaurant, if it's hot outside, expect it to be just as hot inside. There is no AC and in some spots no breeze. We were practically sweating by the end of our meal. This wasn't an issue for us before but figure it just depends on how close you are seated to the outside which we were much farther inside than usual. We continue to love and support La Mariana. It's a beautiful tiki bar, totally casual and family friendly but with such a great atmosphere. Parking and lack of AC can be slightly off-putting but for the experience and great drinks we will continue to come back to this classic when in the area. read more

I friggin LOVE me a tiki bar and this is the Queen of old kitschy Hawaii tiki joints! From the moment you walk on property, you are greeted by plants, bamboo fencing, tiki decor, and you feel like you stepped back in time to 1940. I would almost expect a pinup girl to walk through the front door as I sat at the bar. You might think a place like this would serve overly sugared, silly drinks and mediocre food, but you would be wrong. The cocktails are wicked strong, and two of them will probably have you swaying like a sailor on a ship. The food is also excellent. We got several appetizers and entrées, and then of course dessert. All of it was top notch. The best part was that we went on a Tuesday afternoon because it was a state holiday and I had the day off work. The place was not at all crowded and we felt like we had it to ourselves... This little oasis in the middle of an industrial area. it allowed me to walk around and take photos of Tikki collection and appreciate the beautiful architecture of this bar. read more

Like stepping back into the 50s/60s Hawaii. This place is great from the atmosphere when you first walk up to the atmosphere the whole way in. The drinks are terrific - they're known for their excellent Mai Tai and the food was great too. We had the puppu platter as we were just grabbing something light and a couple of drinks before heading back to Waikiki. If you're looking for authentic old school tiki vibes and friendly service this is your place! read more

Hard to find parking and we even got there earlier than Happy Hour. We had a table overlooking the Marina and stayed long enough to watch the sunset.

A real old school Honolulu Tiki Bar in Oahu, hidden in an alley. The food is average, the drinks are great, but the atmosphere is completely vintage and unspoiled.

Old school touristy tiki bar off Sand Island Access Rd overlooking the marina. If you've hit the dry dock, you've gone too far. Street parking (signs state to park diagonally). This place has been around for a hot minute. Dark interior with all sorts of eclectic ocean art. Glass fishing balls, tikis, old school furniture. Clean, plenty of seating, nice bar area. Lots of aquariums, plenty to look at & soak in. All sorts of foofoo drinks (Blue Hawaii, Mai Tais, etc) besides your regular common drinks. Pious were great. Ono fish & chips were ONO & plentiful. Bartender Jesse was friendly. Prices are fair & decent. read more

Lovely eclectic place with great service and food at stellar location. Highly recommend

Good food and entertainment and a great tiki bar atmosphere. Nice spot right on the boat harbor.

This is by far one of the coolest, most authentic Hawaii centric marina 'tiki bars I've ever been in, but without all the gross cob webs and dust bunny accoutrement you find in other places. Service is average, and the menu looks like it never changes, but wat do you really need to do to fish and chips? If I ran this place, I'd be happy for the rest of my life. Come here. The décor is actually authentic, not replicas. Kapa, tiki, masks, glass floats, lauhala and the works. It's epic. I was sad to leave because it was like the reality of a fairly tale dream I had. read more

First things first.. MK was great! When you walk in, it took a while to get acknowledged but their sign does say they are short staffed. Once we were greeted by MK or Mary Kat our experience changed. She was great, very attentive and very sweet server.. We ordered a round of drinks + calamari to start -Mai tai (7/10) decent maintai -Margarita 7/10 (bitter) -Hawaiian Sunset (sweet but strong) 10/10 -Singapore Sling (very good) 9/10 * all drinks come with a kick so no need to order a floater Food: -ahi butter, capers (very good) 10/10 -ahi burger (very good) 9/10 -butterfly shrimp (very good) 10/10 *Mac salad is to die for, comes with a big portion too Ambiance: campy Hawaiian style restaurant with a tiki feel.. very cute, very small but feels like you are In a movie.. caution (restaurant is open air so it can be stuffy) Overall; we will return, preferably with a night that has live music! Very good meal *sit at the bar if you want that true tiki hut feel read more
