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.

I’ve purchased the Merriman’s cookbook and have recommended the restaurants to everyone I know traveling to the islands. We had reservations and arrived slightly early. Several walk-ins were seated before us, which was fine. We weren’t in a rush at all. We were seated outside in a completely empty section out front just off the sidewalk. No o e asked if we preferred indoor or outdoor seating. Our waiter Mark O. rushed us through the entire experience, even asking my 17year old daughter if she was ready to order food while I was in the restroom. He never told us about the dinner specials, took the cocktail/drink menu when we ordered so I had to request to see it again for a drink with our meal. I asked for a recommendation between two menu items and he brushed it off like the question was an inconvenience. As we were finishing our meal, another couple was seated next to us. The same waiter told them all about the specials of the day, etc. Not sure why we didn’t receive the same service as other diners, but I was thoroughly disappointed. Maybe my expectations were too high. I’ll have a hard time recommending Merriman’s after this.

The food was very good, but I was a bit surprised at the price of the special dish I ordered. I guess I should have asked ahead of time. The outdoor seating was also very pleasant.
