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.

Two of our party wanted the filet, it was only 7pm and they said they may be out and need to substitute. They substituted for a fatty thin tough New York strip. It was not comparable to what we ordered. When I spoke to the manager, he said he would take it off the bill. Clearly this manager doesn’t understand. There was no amount of money to make up for a ruined Xmas dinner. And the server stopped waiting on us, never offered us coffee or anything to go with our desserts. I’ve been going to merriman’s for many years. Always a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner. Never again.

The entire place seemed over crowded and the staff over stressed. Food was okay.
