This was a special dinner with my family in town, so we wanted to take them to one of our favorite restaurants. Our server Cindy was so kind, personable, and attentive! She truly made the whole experience so special. All of the food was delicious, especially the Moroccan pie and the beef cheeks, and it arrived promptly -- we were never kept waiting. The intimate atmosphere and elegant decor of Mariposa are two of the biggest draws for us. We'll be back the next time we feel like getting fancy and celebrating.

Definitely 5 stars!! Absolutely no complaints. The food, the service, attention to details, ambiance, friendly staff, amazing manager, decor etc all above and beyond!!! Our waiter was James and manager was Graham and both truly went above and beyond! Another table accidentally took our leftovers. We informed James who informed Graham. Not only were we gifted a gift card for future use but they prepared new meals for us to go!!!! We were blown away!!! We just went for the food but we received an experience and memories. Worth every single penny for sure.
