I have never been disappointed when dining at Merriman’s. I was with a friend who has strict dietary restrictions; the chef personally met with him and made his day even brighter. Merriman’s is first class all the way.

Second time to Fete and we sat at a high top back by the open kitchen. The slap on so many levels. Their cocktail program is tops and the pro level service always helps compliment what the chefs pull off with the cuisine. Their local highlights to Oahu’s food system is such a treat. Full recommendation here!
