Great service from Ally. Views and ambience were spectacular. Ocean views aplenty. Food was pretty good. Nothing inventive or spectacular, but solid. They really push their Mai Tais which were very tart with a thick and super sweet foam which reduces the size of the cocktail by a good amount. Not even close to others I’ve had in Waikiki.

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!!

Breakfast at The Terrace is a just awesome, great selection of choices - Kurobuta Pork Benedict is a favorite, and the views are just stunning. Can get a little busy so reservations are recommended. Waiting Team is welcoming and helpful.
