   Excellent ! I don’t like 4% taxable kitchen surcharge Not disclosed prior … I personally find all of these charges very frustrating. I felt the food was very good - our server was excellent and they offered a prix fix with a good variety. I am from NY & we don’t have surcharge or wellness charge. We

   Delicious dinner with our family while on vacation. Our server was top notch. Friendly and prompt with everything. But not rushed. Everyone loved their meal and choices. Loud table near us with not great acoustics would be our only minor issue. We had to talk loudly to hear eachother.

    Amazing food with great service. It was a little chilly, but they warn you that the restaurant is at a higher elevation and as such can be cooler. Highly recommend having dinner here.

    Loved our experience at Merriman’s! The food was delicious and the service was top notch. We loved that the prix fixe menu was a little customizable in such that if you didn’t want dessert you could get two appetizers instead and you could add any item à la carte. Would highly recommend!

    A delightful and delicious place to celebrate our anniversary. The staff were all friendly; the locally sourced menu items were varied and excellent; portion sizes were good, and prices were in line with what I expect from fine dining. I had the lamb--yum! My husband had the catch of the day and thoroughly enjoyed it.

    I am a long time fan of Merryman's so was disappointed that the menu had changed. Their Ahi tuna was one of the best ever and the coconut crème Brule was to die for so it was very disappointing to not see those things on the menu. While my meal was good, it was not as good as I expected. I did ask the waiter about the crème Brule and he did find one left over from lunch and everyone at the table agreed it was excellent.

    We spent four days on the big island and this was our worst meal. We went for lunch and got the grilled catch of the day, which was over cooked, and the special of fish and chips, which was the opposite - the batter was raw on some pieces. Service was great. It’s a shame the food wasn’t.

    I received follow ups from OpenTable over and over again..... I did respond but they kept on coming...... I live here in Waimea and have come to Merriman's for years. Yesterday was not that enjoyable and the food was mediocre.

    We were staying at a resort and took an Uber to Merriman’s. When we were ready to leave, there was no Uber, Lyft or taxi available!! The manager was kind enough to have one of the bus boys take us back. He was lovely, and totally saved us!

    Superb food with professional and friendly service. Entire staff from hostess to the bussers made us feel welcome. Big hits of the evening were the Goat Quesadilla app, the filet and the local rack of lamb. The Siduri Pinot was great; nice bouquet with long finish. Pricey but worth it.

    The food here is spectacular! You can taste the freshness and the chef really lets the flavors shine. Little things like tomato “croutons “ on the Cesar salad are unbelievably good. The desserts are also incredible. The wait staff was eager but a bit inexperienced-the meal/wine service was not coordinated, empty plates/glasses were not removed, but they made up for this with friendliness 🥰. Definitely try the mai tais!
