Merriman's is one of my favorite spots to eat dinner on the island. I ordered the salad and soup, which was quite tasty. The service was quick and attentive, and this restaurant had some of the best vibes on the island, especially with its live performance.

Had an amazing brunch experience at Merriman’s Waikiki! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The restaurant has a beautiful location and a really nice atmosphere that made the whole experience even better. I truly enjoyed my time there, from the great service to the relaxing vibe. It was totally worth it, and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Waikiki or looking for a great brunch spot in Hawaii.

Ailee was our waitress and did a great job recommending food. The table side poke, macadamia crusted swordfish and whatever the Makai with the shrimp (all her recommendations) were the dishes my wife and I have had… maybe ever. Got to celebrate turning 31 and was so thankful to have this as our last meal on the island before returning home. Thank you Merriman’s for the amazing memory.

This place is definitely a vibe. I went for happy hour, which is decently priced for the area. If you can I recommend sitting outside simply to enjoy the gorgeous weather and outdoor atmosphere but inside is decorated in a trendy, upscale vibe. Plenty of seating. We didn’t have a reservation and didn’t have to wait. We decided to split some small plates. The fish tacos were good but would not recommend if you’re pretty hungry because you only get 2 and the fish piece is quite small; very flavorful though! We also got the hummus with the sweet potato chips which was delicious! They do offer more chips for the dip we had left but we were full by then. Also recommend the current chef’s cocktail. It’s a twist in a classic marg and comes with tajin on the rim (IYKYK). The service was impeccable. From the greeting at the door to timely delivery of the check, but not rushing to leave once we paid. I’ll definitely come back the next time I’m in town

we came here while visiting family in hawaii. my husband and I were seated outside and they had a live musician who brought a wonderful ambiance to the environment. Brandon M was our server and he did an amazing job taking care of us. He was on top of our drinks and giving us updates on our food. I got the fresh chicken and my husband got the steak frites. both meals were amazing! perfectly cooked & seasoned, juicy chicken and tender steak. we will recommend to anyone visiting Hawaii!

We enjoyed lunch here. Abbie, Autumn, Noah (& the happy energetic team) pampered us. The tall ceiling added to the atmosphere. Cocktails were a hit. Some great choices on the menu. We will return. Seats inside and outside (pet friendly). Or sit at the bar. Happy hour at 3! Changes frequently, so always a new adventure.

Merriman’s was AMAZING!! We were seated kindly and quickly per our reservation. Our server Brandon was attentive, knowledgeable, and helpful. The food was divine. The leek soup-some of the best I had. The sturgeon- also some of the best I had. And to top it all off, the bread pudding was DIVINE. One of our drinks was forgotten, and we did have to ask for it multiple times. We did order 2 bread puddings, but our server assumed we wanted 1 to share, so only 1 was brought-which we ended up being ok with. Overall we had an amazing experience, I would just recommend to encourage your staff and servers to be more detail oriented.

If you’re even slightly familiar with the Hawai’i’ culinary scene, then you know Peter Merriman is an icon. His original restaurant is a cozy little joint in Waimea on the big island that I love. This Honolulu location has a different, upscale city vibe, but still manages to bring the comfort of the original. Rest assured, it’s a total knockout in every way! The menu is unique, local, inspiring, and downright delicious. The interior is charming and bright. Service is top tier. And that famous lilikoi foam mai tai will forever ruin all other mai tais for you. There is simply nothing to critique. To top it all off, they have a spectacular happy hour that runs until 5:30. They often feature live music on the patio too, which is lovely. Make sure to book a reservation - it’s always busy. But if you can’t get in, consider trying one of Merriman’s other restaurants instead. Moku and Monkeypod are slightly more casual, but equally good. The menu at Merrimans is the best, but I actually prefer Monkeypod for the amazing ocean views. Moku is a nice alternative because there is rarely a crowd and it’s easier to get to. They all feature similar menus and all serve the one and only mai tai.

We had an amazing experience at Merriman’s! The food was outstanding, specifically the hummus, roasted chicken, and beef bourguighon! Perfectly cooked, fresh spices, flavors were amazing. We also were so fortunate to have Kelani outside the singing and playing guitar, he made our night that much more special. Next time we’re in Honolulu we will 100% come back!

The cheeseburger was amazing. The fresh bread was delicious and it paired well with the parmesan truffle fries. The macadamia nut fresh catch was just as good. Our shrimp appetizer came out after our meals, but it was delicious. Our server gave us extra bread and we used the bread to soak up the remaining sauce it was so good. Our server also brought us a scoop of their vanilla ice cream and prosecco since the appetizer was late. It was very thoughtful and the ice cream was delicious. There was also live music which was nice and not overwhelming. We will definitely be coming back in the future.
