Merriman's Honolulu

What does swanky little place. Love the variety even though it's a little pricey. Love the servers. They were so polite and considerate and genuine and prompt. I honestly have nothing bad to say about this restaurant.

The scallops were fresh and cooked to perfection. The restaurant was a little louder than I expected but not too loud. This is fine dining that doesn’t require a reservation months in advance. The servers were attentive and offered their own suggestions about the menu items. I enjoyed myself here because it gave pure romantic vibes on the island. The beach is close but that’s the focus of the restaurant which is in contrast to other fine dining on the island.

Outstanding dinner at Merrimans for my birthday. The food and service were perfect. We sat outside which was a little windy, but enjoyed our time there nonetheless.
We started with the avocado and cucumber salad which was delicious with a hit of spice from the sliced jalapenos. I had the mahi mahi fish special which was amazing, perfectly cooked and I wanted to lick the plate the sauce was so Delicious. We also had the chicken which is a good option and my friend couldn't finish it. It was drained perfectly and you could taste the layers of flavor.

We enjoyed our wedding day dinner here. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The food and atmosphere was on point. They even honored our special day with some complimentary items. Mahalo Kalen for your hospitality.

We are huge fans of Merrimans, and have experienced all of the other Merrimans, on Maui, Kauai and the Big Island.
This location was the only one we hadn't been to....
The ambiance is wonderful, the food delicious, as always!
Paul, our server, was great!
The Wagyu burger was amazing!
It may not be on the beach ... It is still one of the absolutely best restaurants you can eat in.

Everything were fantastic. Food service atmosphere. Can't comment on the price since my friend paid, I believe this place is above average in price.

Main dishes were grilled fish and lamb chop. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Hummus was tasty and breads were fantastic.

Good selections of beer and wine.

Good place to splurge.

Bag of biscuits and the Wagyu Umami burger. Make sure you order these. Oh and a Mai Tai. For some reason I just wanted a burger. Don’t ask me why. But it was pretty solid. I was impressed and happy with my choice. The bag of biscuits was perfect! I loved it. Busy spot, make sure you have a reservation. Aloha!

Came here for my birthday lunch. Everyone was super friendly and the service was very attentive. They happily accommodated our 15 month old. Prices were okay, portions could have been a tad bigger. Food was on the saltier end (at least for my European palate) but still very enjoyable.

Excellent friendly warm service. We didn't have a reservation but managed to get a table for two, probably better to have a reservation though as it was quite busy for a weekday evening. The food was fantastic, probably the most perfect French onion soup I've had. The steamed clams were perfectly cooked. I enjoyed my steak frites even though there was some kind of peppercorn or herb on the crust that I didn't like the taste of. I was able to get over that and enjoy the steak which was cooked perfectly.

Overall a really nice restaurant which appears to be run very well, upscale but relaxed atmosphere and a great variety on the menu.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere! We went here after attending an opera and it was a relaxing and fantastic way to end the evening. Will go again!

Loved the ambiance. The waiter, Francis, was so knowledgeable, full of personality, made our dining experience enjoyable. I ordered the Caesars salad with fried green tomatoes and French onion soup. The wagyu beef sandwich was tender and delicious. The ribeye steak was Ono. We also had the Mediterranean salad and topped it off with lilikoi Posset, lime coconut sherbet and chocolate purse.
Everything was delicious and everyone showed so much Aloha. We want to go back there to Merrimans again. ❤

Food was amazingly good. We had the oysters, bread and chips and hummus dip and it was 10/10

But then the entrees came in and I had a chicken skillet and it was very filling and just amazing. 100% recommend.

Also our server was really nice and knowledgeable with the menu.

Spent a few hours here during happy hour, while waiting to drop our son at the airport. Food was fantastic and their unique Mai Tai was excellent 👍Service was on point and very kind, definitely stop in for Happy Hour if your in the area.

It was a great dinner. From the moment we entered the restaurant, the staff welcomed us with great hospitality. The food was amazing and I have fond memories.

Merriman’s Honolulu is a top dining spot known for its outstanding house cocktails, which offer a diverse range of specialty drinks. The renowned Mai Tai is crafted with expert precision using Kula Light & Dark Rums, lime, house-made macadamia nut orgeat, orange curacao, and honey-lilikoi egg white foam — it's a must-try. The No Ka Oi provides a delightful choice between vodka or gin for those seeking variety. The spectacular Coffee-tini exemplifies the exceptional quality and creativity that define the drink offerings at Merriman’s Honolulu.

Wow! Excellent in every way. Food and location are spot on but service takes it to the best level. Absolutely will be back on our next visit.

Get the octopus. I'm so glad I did. Tbh, everything was amazing. Next time I've return, I will bring my family to eat here. Make your reservation in advance and there is more than enough parking in the structure.

Excellent food, brilliant atmosphere. Visited here twice during our honeymoon and we just loved it.

Superb dining with a casual-ish atmosphere. I’ve been to Merriman’s many times for both lunch and dinner and am always impressed. They do everything they can to source ingredients locally in Hawai’i and everything I’ve had is delicious. Try the hummus plate appetizer and the daily fish special. They also have a nice full bar with a decent whiskey selection and craft beers.

We went to Merriman’s with a large group and the ambience was clean, modern, fun, and open. It was spaced well. The most impressive thing apart from the appetizers was the service, impeccably friendly with great attention to detail. I loved every appetizer - especially the shrimp and escargot. My ribeye was also cooked to perfection with greatly rich whipped potatoes. I tried some of everything and enjoyed it all! Merriman’s was recommended to us and we will continue to recommend it to others!
