Aloha Merriman’s We loved your fantastic cuisines Since we have visited your Hawaii Island Waimea Merriman’s in 1990’s,!! And we visited there many times so far,,, I’m a little Japanese who speaks a poor English, live in Tokyo. And we Family started to go Kapalua villas and to go Maui merriman’s 7-years ago, We also had great cuisines and service so for, but not in Feb.2017 . When we visited there we had very bad service , that was 1: when we arrived , girls were so busy to talk with other staffs at reception and no smile , no welcome words and never watch to us eventhogh we reserved you 3months advance.. they must know when we reserved a date. we need your smile at first !! 2: and a waitress she was nice to us but brought a bill including 22% tip without our agreement. She said “ for your convenient we add 22% tip “ , oh my goodness !! We couldn’t believe it at the moment,, it was a first time that tip was already written We never had a such poor service at all !! but we paid we love Merriman's but not to go again.. PS: We customer are always exciting to have your great cuisines & good service every time .. Are you educating such a silly service ,attitude to your gusts ?? We do not think so…, please watch them and we wish if you will change your service. Last, we love your cuisines & mr.Merriman and we will visit you again when you changed. Mahalo

The view was amazing! Our server, Davie was great. We ordered the pupu appy & ribeye steak, as well a whole lobster tail. The steak was lacking in flavour & was over cooked, as well gristle throughout. Not the typical marble, but gristle that was in every bite & hard to chew through. When I mentioned this to a staff member, he was receptive to hear our feedback & ended up taking the ribeye off the bill. Not our intention, it was rather to let him know, as I would want to know, if it were my restaurant.

Merrimans is a beautiful restaurant with DELICIOUS food. Wait staff is attentive, friendly and informative. Service was great. Hostesses were not very friendly or welcoming. That was the only downfall to our experience.

We had an amazing dinner here while on our honeymoon. The restaurant is set up so all dinners have a view of ocean while the sun sets. The food was also outstanding and pretty much all locally sourced ingredients. We will plan to come back every time we are on Maui!

We were disappointed in our meal ( we had snapper ). Four of us ordered the same entree. We all agreed that it was too spicy and it ruined the dish. Our waiter failed to tell us that the dish was spicy. A lesson learned; no matter where you go, ask if the entree is spicy! The view however was spectacular!

In short - outstanding would be the word I would use to describe the food and experience. Right from the moment we arrived with the valet parking, to the delicious shrimp appeztier, amazing Caesar salad, awesome main dishes and yummy desert - it was a great experience! Would highly recommend, it was worth every penny we spent!

Combine a vibrant bar scene with live music and there just isn't a quiet table in the entire room. Waiters need to pay more attention to cocktail requests. Omitting or forgetting special requests is a no no.

Please have better hostesses. We had a dinner reservation for 6 yesterday and was seated by a hostess who was busy looking elsewhere, adjusting her hair like she was at a fashion show. She did the same to many tables and that is not the first impression you want to give. Everything else was top notch. Just let the teens go and let them do something else other than being a hostess at a 5 star restaurant.

The atmospheric at Merriman's is exquisite. We we're able to watch the sunset during our dinner. The staff was friendly and very attentive. The food was very good. I ordered the Mahi-mahi, it was delicious. My wife was not impressed with the lamb chops. She felt they were fatty. We were celebrating our honeymoon, and they were nice enough to provide a complimentary slice of flower less chocolate cake. Overall it was a good experience. We would recommend it if you are visiting Maui.

Second time dining here. First time was extraordinary. This time forgettable. Food mediocre at best. Fish overcooked. Pasta sauce excessively salty. Beef fillet with pesto sauce had no taste. Service fair. Very disappointed. We traveled far from the Four Seasons in Wailea to get there. Greatly anticipated another extraordinary meal and were devastated to have such a poor meal. An inconsistent great restaurant is not a great restaurant. I would never trust this place again and will surely skip it next time I am in Maui. Mr Merriman should be embarrassed to lend his name to this place. Is probably overextended and he cannot provide special quality to all of his restaurants because he cannot be everywhere to cook. I generally do not like to dine at restaurant chains so to speak where there are many branches and the chef Is not always present. I thought this particular restaurant was an exception. Sadly, I was very wrong and to my great regret.

We ate at Merriman's for our 20th Wedding Anniversary. The restaurant was very nice and the views were outstanding. The service was excellent as well as the food. It is on the pricier side so be prepared to pay. Overall a very nice Anniversary dinner that we won't forget.

It was my birthday and looking forward to this. Ate upstairs, view ok, cocktails good, pupu platter very good, lamb shank very tender, Opakapaka the worst I've ever eaten anywhere. I wanted to go slap the chef. Over cooked, dry, hard to cut , same with the 2 accompanying prawns. Waitress brought me another half order, not much better if any. We've been here a month and went twice to Seahouse ($38) and Seascape ($29) for the Opakapaka along with Dukes and Kimos ($36). This was $49 and about half the size including 2 overlooked prawns. The best was Seahouse and Seascape which was crab stuffed at $29, both melted in your mouth. Kudos to manager who comped the fish and gave us a $50 voucher . I certainly hope this was a one time mistake. Every time we've eaten there no problems.

This evening was a gift from our kids for our 50th Wedding Anniversary. It was absolutely perfect! Our waiter was exceptional and the food superb! The music was lovely and watching three wedding receptions was fun! Everyone there seemed to be having a wonderful time and this lent a festive tone to the ambience of your fine establishment. This was an evening to remember and a highlight of our first trip to Maui. We hope to return soon. Thanks again for a delightful experience! Sincerely, Ken and Lou-Anne Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

My wife and I came to Merrimans on our honeymoon. One of the better restaurant experiences we've had. Complementary valet parking. Beautiful deck overlooking the ocean, rocks, and Lanai to enjoy drinks while we waited for dinner. Impecable service, JJ was our waiter, he was top notch. Meagan had the filet, I had scallops and Mahi Mahi, we shared the cavatelli appetizer. They were all lovely. Dinner was expensive, $205 before tip. Fantastic overall experience. Will come back next time in Maui.
