    We have been to a number of Merriman restaurants. This is by far the worst. Very noisy, marginal food that was vastly overpriced, even by Hawaii standards. Cold pizza, bad fries and very small portions

    Great food and conveniently located across from Disney Aulani. Great place to get food that’s not at the resort.

    We love going to Monkeypod! Food is always prepared consistently and the servers are always courteous and helpful with recommendations! We like the pizzas and truffle fries. Mai tais are their signature cocktail but I’m a sweet person so I love their lychee martini. So yum!

    Food was good for most of the party. Very limited allergy friendly options on menu for one guest with milk allergy. Very noisy space at dinner time.
