    The mezze board was delicious, the Moroccan pie was good, the crispy cod was terrible. It was unseasoned bland, and just a bad experience.  I would go back, but I would definitely never get the crispy cod again.

    Main course was paella at $44. Disappointing and overpriced. Much better in Charlotte for less. Whipped ricotta was good as was the service.

    were continuously asked to leave our table by 6:30. Very embarrassing since our guests arrived late and were only allowed to order 1 drink and to drink it quickly. Guess you see what I mean!
    MariposaResponded on 23 February 2025
    Santiago, Thank you for your feedback. I apologize that there was a misunderstanding. When you booked your reservation, it was booked for the bar, where 4 spots were reserved for you and your party. We accommodated your request when you arrived to move you to a table. We did inform you that we would be able to accommodate moving you to a table, but that we would need the table by 6:30PM. I do apologize that your guests arrived late and were only able to enjoy one drink, however, we were fully booked and needed to be able to accommodate all reservations for the evening. Kind regards, The Mariposa Management Team

    Creative and well done menu options. Portions are fairly small, but the quality made up for the price and the overall experience was fantastic.

    Very nice. Parking and finding it was easy. Everything we ordered was really good especially the dessert (chocolate tres Leche cake) Seating is very open and not very private and the lighting is dim on the tables which could be improved by candles. It was hard for me to read the menu. The only food we got that wasn’t 5 stars was probably the corn fritters which were a bit bitter. We will go back for sure. Maybe during daylight.
