Restaurants near Mauna Kea State Recreation Area

We came in with no expectations and was blown away by the service, the ambiance, and the food! Our lovely waitress was very attentive and checked on us frequently but not excessively. From the starters and drinks to dinner and our dessert - which I made sure to fit in, all were perfectly portioned. We can't wait to return again for the great hospitality and to try the other dishes!

This restaurant was amazing and the sunset was glorious. We had excellent service and the food was delicious as well. We would definitely go back. It is expensive and it is not large portions but the ambience and live music and good service is worth the expense.

This kitchen prepares amazing and unique dishes. We have been diners here since Alan Wong was the chef and the current menu meet that standard.The lobster tempura is reminiscent of Allan, prepared slightly differently, but just as delicious. The radish salad is an absolute must. We also feel that the garlic fried rice is the perfect compliment, to your protein of choice. It is definitely hard to beat the setting and the entire staff is absolutely outstanding and they work perfectly in unison to provide amazing service. He will definitely feel the Aloha Spirit at the Canoe House.

Meal was outstanding from start to finish! The tomato appetizer was unbelievably good. Ahi as usual was outstanding and the Duo and my scallops and shrimp wow! The show stopper was the mushroom soufflé - so so good and bread used with the sauce crazy yummy. Apologize I don’t remember our servers name but her enthusiasm and spot on meal suggestions was so perfect. We’ve eaten at Merrimans for years, but every time we are there in Waimea it’s perfect t in every way!
