Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Peter Merriman

From the OpenTable editors: The LA Times once called Peter Merriman “the aloha Alice Waters” because of the chef’s lasting reputation for championing local ingredients. At Merriman's, which first opened on the Big Island in 1988, that translates to updated Hawaiian classics like macadamia-crusted mahi mahi and taro falafel. The group blazed trails across four islands by 2018, and the latest Honolulu location stands out for its wild green-and-white floors and jungle prints.


Philosophy

All of Peter Merriman's restaurants share a common mission statement: Do the Right Thing! Every member of the staff is taught to respect the `aina (land) that feeds and the people who produce the food, to be proud in their work, and to take responsibility for making sure every customer has a memorable dining experience.

    We had the best meal that either of us can remember having in a long time! Delicious gourmet food tasty beyond belief. Excellent service. Pretty loud but not as loud as some Waikiki restaurants!

    Merriman's is one of my husband's & my "go-to" places for a nice "pau hana" Friday dinner. Always a pleasure! But, we both had the pappardelle special last night & it knocked our socks off!! YAY!! De-Lish!! And, as always, the service was great. (Thanks, Caroline!)

    Celebrated my birthday. Everyone at Merrimans did a wonderful job in ensuring that I had a great birthday! But it’s always a good experience. The food and service are consistently outstanding!

    Quality took a sudden nosedive today, whaaa happened??? Fish and chips look like they were refried, oily and with a dirty brown oil midline on the filets as if the oil was not hot enough. The grilled eggplant sandwich is an underwhelming presentation and eggplant grilled al dente doesn’t work.
