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.

    Our server said people don't really give the chicken a chance but I did & have no regrets, it was awesome. It came in a cast iron skillet, the skin was crispy, and the poblano mashed potatoes were really great

    We arrived and were greeted kindly by the hosts. Seated right away and then were promptly ignored for over well over 40 minutes. We had to go to the host stand to inquire about our server.. everyone around us was being served. Tables sat after us had drinks and food come out before anyone even came by our table. The host was kind when alerted to the issue.. said the manager would come by.. no one did. Lackluster apologies and jokes were made about being forgotten in the corner, By the server who replaced our original server . They took our order and food was brought out swiftly .. food was ok. Mostly over seasoned. We have been to Merrimans several times and enjoyed it.. this visit was an overall disappointment.. nothing was taken off the bill… No apology or acknowledgment by management.
