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.

    I always enjoy the food here-had mahi mahi and it was delicious. The waitress was excellent- personable and attentive. The outdoor seating is wonderful. Much quieter than indoor.

    Great food. I had the fresh made pasta and it was amazing. Beet salad was super fresh and delicious. I believe most if not all ingredients were local so it was nice to support Hawaii and to taste the excellent farm to table experience. I would recommend it.

    Fantastic experience all around. We love that Merriman's is dog friendly outdoors, making it possible to include our fur babies in celebrations.

    Excellent food, professional and friendly wait staff, food (fish) prepared exactly as requested..coffee far surpasses Starbuck's for taste and quality...always a great place to dine anytime but especially nice place to take out-of-town guests. Menu (lunch) appears to have been pared down a little but still many great choices. Highly recommend. george

    We sat outside as the temperature was perfect. In doing so, the noise level was perfect and we had lovely local music to listen to. The food was beyond AMAZING! I was blown away, and I even ordered dessert, which I never do. The service was impeccable and our server, Ka’i was an absolute professional, which made our dining experience even better. I can’t wait to tell everyone to try this beautiful restaurant and for my family to return and eat there again. Thanks for making our last night truly special! Mahalo.
