Why they're an Icon
Executive chef: Charles Akins
From the OpenTable editors: Like its sibling restaurants, Merriman’s Kauai is a destination for elegant American dishes with hyperlocal, Hawaiian ingredients – all thanks to James Beard Award-nominated chef Peter Merriman. Grab a seat on the first-floor veranda to linger over signature dishes like a wok-charred ahi and Maui venison and shrimp kabobs. Bonus points for a stellar by-the-bottle wine list.
Philosophy
Chef-Owner Peter Merriman serves his unique style of Hawaii Regional Cuisine in Kauai's Poipu. A pioneer in the "Farm to Table" concept, Peter serves only the freshest products, at least 90% of which are locally grown or caught, using only sustainable methods with warm Hawaiian hospitality.
