Merriman’s was such a wonderful experience!

We made last minute reservations the night before our wedding to celebrate afterwards, and they happily accommodated us. The manager, Eric, was very warm and friendly when we arrived, and he and the rest of the staff made us feel so celebrated and as if they were sharing in our excitement.

The food was phenomenal, each dish we had to pause after the first bite and marvel at the flavors. We loved everything, but particularly enjoyed the lobster ravioli, the tomato bisque (which I believe was one of their specials), the cucumber salad, and the chocolate purse (wish I could’ve had 4 more!)

Our server Bianca was one of the best servers we have had anywhere. So personable, and clearly very passionate and knowledgeable about her work and the restaurant.

Thank you for helping us have the perfect end to our special day! We look forward to one day returning.

One of the best meals we had on the island! The outside decor might not catch your attention, but the food definitely will. Only about a 30-minute drive from the resort areas with easy parking in front of the restaurant. The New York steak was very flavorful and tender. We requested to leave off the schewan peppercorns and herb butter because we didn't want to ruin a great steak. The scallops and shrimp were done perfectly. The desert and coffee selection was very good.

We first tried Merriman’s on Christmas on Oahu and wanted to try their regular menu - wow they did not disappoint! Big shoutout to our server Howard for not stealing us wrong on our dinner recommendations this night! We started off with the lobster ravioli which was good (not incredible itself) but the sage butter and cili oil was a delicious complement. The warm table bread was also great! We had two amazing entrees the scallops (out of shrimp) with the corn bread and kale and the macadamia crusted fish was to die for! My partner literally said it was one of the best meals he’s ever had and I concur. We then finished off with the French press coffee, the iconic chocolate purse, and the incredible pineapple bread pudding! What a night!

One of our better meals on the island. The fish was great and a perfect portion for my wife. The Ramen had great taste but fell a little short on portion size. The price was good considering that add a 4% for the cook staff it was actually cheaper than some of the other places that had less quality food.

Spur of the moment decision to make 5PM reservations at 11AM. Online reservation process was very easy to use. Two hour drive from Hilo up along the coast. Awesome trip stopping at farmers markets and small town stores. Arrived early. Visited the garden next to the restaurant and talked with the staff including Chef Jimmy as he gathered fresh produce for the evenings meal. Merriman’s is an inspiration for a lifestyle of living. Fresh produce next to the kitchen along with several fruit trees. This time to explore and reflect on their operation mirrored how I was developing my property. Great feeling of validation from the staff even before the meal. Restaurant was filled to capacity yet, the staff created an at home friendly atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious. The overall experience of dinning at Merriman’s was way more than expected.
