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.

    Service was excellent, we were happy to get an outdoor table since the live musician playing piano inside was quite loud and they graciously accommodated our request. The food was all delicious. Everything was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. Wonderful experience we would happily return.

    We enjoy our visits to Merriman’s, but the noise levels have increased to levels where it’s uncomfortable to be seated indoors. The mix of piped-in music, the live piano music, and the expected conversations from diners and bar patrons was overwhelming. Otherwise, the dishes were quality and delicious presentations. Service was excellent.

    Our server was very nice and attentive, it seems like the staff worked as a team. The food was delicious. It was loud inside but could still easily talk and hear each other. Would definitely return.
