    Lovely place with great food and extraordinary service. It's outdoors and started to sprinkle. Staff ran up with umbrellas for us within seconds! Our server Brittany was wonderful and personable. We did the fish experience and it was a fun menu and a great value. The shishito pepper dish was my favorite and the rice pudding was unexpectedly delicious. Will be back!

    Merriman's Ward is definitely our first preferred spot for wino wine share get togethers. Food's fantastic and approachable and the corkage is still wino friendly compared with other places that have corkage charges set to discourage bringing special bottles to share with friends. We enjoyed a 3 hour commiseration over a bottle of Radio Silence! Servers were attentive but not intrusive--they let us do our wine share thing; very nice and appropriate wine glasses. All in all a place not to be missed. Thanks and mahalo again Merriman's Ward!!
