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 really like the salad verte - who knew fresh greens and lemon oil could be so tasty? DH had the cheeseburger for the first time - he said it was outstanding. I had a personal favorite - fish tacos. Their iced tea is also particularly good - not just Lipton but a lightly fruity black tea. I have celiac disease (no gluten, ever) and they are able to accommodate with more than just one choice.

We can't recommend this restaurant and its great people highly enough.
