   Faith was a wonderful server, making our lunch visit very enjoyable. Quaint place, off the beaten track with a historical flair. Food was excellent and served quickly.

   Best Restaurant on the island. It is worth the drive. Make sure you make a reservation. We went on a Monday night and it was packed.

   Merriman’s sets the standard for what an excellent restaurant should be. Great food, great service, at a reasonable price. We are loyal customers who know what that means so I you have never been there, take my word for it, you won’t be disappointed.

   The idea of wrapping up the Merrie Monarch with a special muʻumuʻu lunch was very nice. The ambiance was special. The caesar salad was good, but so very small. The smash burger felt like it was missing the burger part - hardly even had meat there. The pannacotta was delicious, but, again, a very small serving.

   Best on the island. Wonderful food, efficient but not overbearing service. Local tomato salad…wonderful ripe tomatoes that actually taste like tomatoes, Lobster ravioli great, and ono en papiote (sp?) was a unique preparation when we’ve eaten so much commonly prepared fish this trip (can you say macadamia-crusted mahi?). Thanks for another great evening!

    Years of Loyalty Undone by One Disheartening Experience We’ve been coming to Merriman’s for years and have always appreciated the welcoming atmosphere, great food, and friendly service. It’s been one of our favorite spots — a place we’ve enjoyed with friends, family, and business associates. We've recommended it countless times, and until recently, it truly felt like a local gem. Unfortunately, our latest visit was deeply disappointing. When we politely asked for a bowl of water for my service dog — something that’s never been an issue here or elsewhere — we were told by the manager that the health department prohibits it. While I understand that restaurants must follow regulations, the way the situation was handled was upsetting. The manager was curt, dismissive, and showed no empathy. He flatly told us we could leave if we didn’t like the policy. To make things worse, we were told we could take the dog outside and give him water there — a suggestion I found not only impractical but frankly inhumane. My service dog is highly trained and provides essential assistance; treating him like an inconvenience showed a total lack of understanding and compassion. We would have left immediately, but we had invited another family to join us that evening, and we didn’t want to spoil the night for them. This experience left us shocked and saddened. After years of loyalty, it’s incredibly disappointing to feel so unwelcome over something so basic. I truly hope the management reflects on how they treat individuals with disabilities — and the service animals they rely on. This isn’t just about water. It’s about dignity, respect, and doing the right thing. “Hello Anna, Per our conversation, our office has no regulations or restrictions on a restaurant providing your service dog with a container with water.

    Thank you for your feedback. I was the manager you mentioned, and I’m truly sorry to hear this visit didn’t reflect the warm experience you've come to expect at Merriman’s. We always welcome service animals. While our policy does not allow bowls of water for animals inside and we are not required to provide them, I understand your frustration and appreciate your note about my tone. I'm always striving to grow. We remain committed to thoughtful and respectful service.
