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.

A reliable, upscale, local favorite with menu favorites that could easily be found on the mainland. If I lived here I would likely take guests, but as a traveler I prefer something a bit more intriguing. We had a reservation for over a month and were seated in a bar facing two top, not quite what we expected. The mai tai was divine and the service impeccable.

He knew the right time to checkin. The lobster caprese, & mushroom ravioli were amazing and ending with great bowl of vanilla bean ice cream. We absolutely loved the dining experience and come back every time we visit Hawaii. Food choices and preparation are top reason for coming back!! Mahalo. Shelley & Kevin.
