Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Peter Merriman

From the OpenTable editors: The LA Times once called Peter Merriman “the aloha Alice Waters” because of the chef’s lasting reputation for championing local ingredients. At Merriman's, which first opened on the Big Island in 1988, that translates to updated Hawaiian classics like macadamia-crusted mahi mahi and taro falafel. The group blazed trails across four islands by 2018, and the latest Honolulu location stands out for its wild green-and-white floors and jungle prints.


Philosophy

All of Peter Merriman's restaurants share a common mission statement: Do the Right Thing! Every member of the staff is taught to respect the `aina (land) that feeds and the people who produce the food, to be proud in their work, and to take responsibility for making sure every customer has a memorable dining experience.

    By far our favorite restaurant. Merrimans really uses high quality ingredients and all their dishes are really creative. We have dined there over 150 times and have never had a bad meal. You cannot go wrong with the hummus and daily fish specials. Merrimans really knows how to balance flavors. Also service is fantastic. Highly recommend dining at Merrimans.

    Food and service was great. It had been a while since our family has visited the restaurant but it did not disappoint. The food was delicious but I would like to mention the live entertainment during today’s lunch was awesome! Good music, good vibes an great food. Will definitely return on a day with live local musicians like today. Mahalo merrimans staff and to the musicians at today’s lunch! Our family really enjoyed it!
