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.

    Absolutely love the mahi and the mushroom ravioli. I thought the portions were a little smaller than usual. Overall, excellent experience, Caroline and Tommy.

    This was my first visit to Merriman’s. It was worth the taxi ride! I was given a very nice table outside, right in front of the lovely music. My server, Jackson, was just wonderful and made sure I was comfortable and had all that i needed. The food was delicious, as were the cocktails I ordered. A really nice meal accompanied by great service and lovely music. I will return!

    I don’t know if you guys started using a different rum in your Mai tais or something but the last two times I’ve been there I have not liked the aftertaste of them and I’ve been drinking them for years. It’s almost like you switched to a cheaper, spiced rum or something.
