Celebrated my birthday at Merrimans. Everything was just amazing. Our server, Jasmine, was the BEST. We had a fantastic table with a perfect view of the sunset. Their mai Tais are some of the best in Hawaii. We shared a delicious salad, had an order of the fabulous biscuits too. Hubby had the pork shank and I had the Ma Kai which was ahi. Their house made ice cream was yummy and the restaurant treated to some nice extras for my birthday. Thank you Merrimans for making my day so special!

Great service by very pleasant Cherine (sp?) She advised chicken Quesada and Potstickers and suggested that a salad would be too much. She was right on all counts. Cool, breezy, got table we wanted. Really cannot add anything but "we enjoyed."

The new pre fixe menu was great. The fried chicken and the butterfish were both delicious. I hope they keep it up with rotating dishes. Another wonderful visit to Eating House.

    Our group was very satisfied with the menu options. There was an excellent variety of fresh local fish, sushi, sashimi, and local prime ribeye, not to mention the delicious dessert selections. The staff was exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, and each meal was beautifully presented. I would highly recommend The Ocean House to anyone visiting Kauai. The atmosphere was open-air, clean, and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a memorable dining experience.
