Why they're an Icon
Executive chef: Charles Akins
From the OpenTable editors: Like its sibling restaurants, Merriman’s Kauai is a destination for elegant American dishes with hyperlocal, Hawaiian ingredients—all thanks to James Beard Award-nominated chef Peter Merriman. Grab a seat on the second-floor veranda to linger over signature dishes like a wok-charred ahi and Maui venison and shrimp kabobs. Bonus points for a stellar by-the-bottle wine list.

Chef-Owner Peter Merriman serves his unique style of Hawaii Regional Cuisine in Kauai's Poipu. A pioneer in the "Farm to Table" concept, Peter serves only the freshest products, at least 90% of which are locally grown or caught, using only sustainable methods with warm Hawaiian hospitality.

We have done there many times over the years. Maybe it’s just time for a remodel, but it seems a little rougher. It doesn’t compare to a Merrimans on Maui.

Outstanding food! We had the ono (wahoo) fish special and macadamia nut mahi-mahi. Shared the delicious beet & goat cheese salad. MaiTais,which are more lime based with the local honey foam on top, so not too sweet, were the best we ever had!! Sunset was gorgeous. Wonderful ambiance. Friendly and knowledgeable server.
We would go back for sure!!
