Went here for brunch with some girlfriends! Not only was the service great, the food was good and the vibes were 10 out of 10. The manager even stopped by to make sure we had everything we needed. Definitely an underrated spot for brunch.

Charges a 3% fee to pay by credit card. Claims that’s the same they pay - but surely they don’t pay the same for Visa, Mastercard, and Amex. Automatically includes a 20% gratuity regardless of party size - and you know what that does to service.

While our service was excellent, we ordered a bottle of wine that wasn’t available and was replaced with something else. Additionally, I ordered steak and eggs with cold and undercooked eggs. The replacement egg was even worse. Again, the service was great, but for the price, the food was definitely subpar.

It had been years since I had been to Mariposa, and the experience has changed quite a bit. While the staff was friendly, it look longer than expected to be greeted and provided water. The restaurant itself was fairly empty so we were surprised. The food was just ok, cocktails were delicious. And adding auto gratuity of 20% to a party of two was excessive. Especially when the pricing of the cocktails and food was already on the higher side. For the pricing one would expect a higher end experience- unfortunately it just missed the mark for us. The restaurant is beautiful so I hope this was an off night or they look at revamping the menu.

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Mariposa. We're glad to hear that you found our staff friendly, but we're sorry to hear about the longer than expected wait for service and the absence of a certain level of service during your visit. We also appreciate your feedback about our pricing and we're sorry to hear that the food didn't quite hit the mark for you. We're always looking to improve and your input helps us do just that. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a better experience. Best, Mariposa Management Team
