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.

    Food delicious, service excellent! Nice place for lunch if you’re looking for something a bit more upscale from the local “drive in” type. Personal irritant is “kitchen charge” on the bill - why not just increase the cost of food, drinks, etc. Menu offerings are not cheap as is so additional 50-75 cents per item wouldn’t be objectionable.

    The food here was outstanding and I highly recommend the Macadamia crusted Mahi Mahi. We were originally being seated inside but asked to move outside as the noise level inside was too much. Outside was great and the service was excellent.

    This is my go to place when I visited Hawaii. Love the food. Always well prepared and great service. I was dining on my own and the restaurant was busy with groups. It could have been easy to overlook me but Dylan (who was in training. Day two!) and his mentor were fully attentive. I chose the daily catch, which was delicious. Never had a bad meal at this restaurant. Well worth the walk or bus ride from the busy Waikiki area (bus 20,42) will drop you off at Queen street.

    I have been in here for lunch a couple times and really enjoyed all of the food. Tonight we came for my husbands birthday and it was of course their dinner menu. After the waiter explained the specials to us like we were tourists (words like hapa and makai ) we ordered some appetizers.. We got a couple of the appetizers: biscuits-great, green beans-great, French onion soup-good, and poke-not great(foodlands is much better). I got the makai special which was very good but not worth $49 in my opinion. My older daughter for the steak frites which was great. My younger daughter got the homemade pasta which was very good. My husband got the ribeye which was not cooked to medium rare but more like medium well., definitely not worth $79. All in all, we spent close to $400 but next time I would go at lunch or not at all. I didn’t feel like the value was there. The waiter was nice and attentive but should not assume people are tourists. My kids were born and are being raised here and definitely know what poke is 😆

    Atypical, but we weren’t served until about 20 minutes after we were seated. We also had to wait quite a while for several items, and everything came out at disjointed times. Maybe they were just slammed! Haven’t ever experienced that here before!

    Very nice place, farm to table. The ambience was busy and loud, but the friendly and accommodating service made up for it. The food was outstanding. I had appetizer of octopus ala escargot, good and clever.
