    I loved my evening at Merriman's - I only wish I had had an earlier reservation since I assume the views are amazing but I couldn't see them in the dark. My Mango Cocktail was awesome, my Chow Fun App was very good and I loved my Curry main. Meanwhile Dessert which was a Lilikoi something was delicious. Our service was great - especially Abby she was very helpful. It is an expensive evening, but I found it worth it - especially since I was celebrating my birthday.

    Merriman’s is all about Hawaii. We visit twice a year and the experience is first class whether you are enjoying dinner, sitting at the bar or outside on the patio. The service is first class, food exceptional, Happy Hour great, and a great view on top of all. Don’t miss the well established restaurant in Kapalua.

    Wonderful meal. Our server Leah was on top of it! Merriman’s did not let us down. Celebrating my parents 60th anniversary. They had personalized menus and we were greeted with champagne upon our arrival. Food was spectacular. Looking forward to our next visit.

    Our server, Leah was incredible. She demonstrated the utmost level of customer service and her personality is perfect for the industry. Food was delicious and so full of flavor. We had octopus, shrimp cocktail, swordfish, mahi mahi and filet mignon. Highly recommend and ask for Leah.
