    Had an excellent meal here. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. Our food was delicious, and the drinks were fantastic. They even gave us a free dessert and wrote “Happy Anniversary” in chocolate on the plate. Would definitely dine here again!

    WOW! 5 STARS all the way around!! From the moment we sat down and took in the amazing view to then meeting our server Sarah we knew we were in for an amazing dining experience. Everything Sarah recommended to us was delicious!! The cocktails so refreshing! The entrees mouth watering. I had the flat iron steak special and my husband had the ginger pesto catch of the day. Both entrees were cooked to perfection with the best flavors! They were DELICIOUS! Sarah was an absolute delight!! Her smile lit up the room every time she interacted with us. She provided 10 star customer service! We can’t wait to return in late February to enjoy another amazing dining experience and you bet we will be asking for Sarah!!

    We came here to celebrate our 27th anniversary and as expected, MW did not disappoint. We started off with the Calamansi spritzes, Caesar salad and dumplings. The lettuce was crispy and fresh and the flavors of the anchovies, dressing and croutons were amazing. My husband blew his mind over the flavor of his scallops and seafood rice. And he raved about my Kampachi. We ate every morsel. It was his first time to MW and he said it was possibly the best meal prep experience he's had. Our server was attentive, informative and gave us great recommendations. He was also relaxed and friendly and the entire staff anticipated our needs. I'm so glad the hostess told us what her favorite dessert was, the Strawberry Shave Ice. It's now my favorite too! We also ended the evening with the brûlée, coffee and the complimentary chocolate cake. We look forward to coming back! Thank you for making our 27th anniversary dinner such a perfect night. As we looked around the restaurant, it seemed all the other guests were smiling and happy as well. Mahalo nui, Kawehi and Corey Apo P.S. we also liked the furniture

    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!!
