      The Food is the star at Merrimans Maui- I mistakenly booked a bar table instead of a regular dining table, and that mistake had a huge impact on the overall experience. First, I will say that the dining room is beautiful with open air along the coastline. The bar on the other hand is noisy, busy and without enough fresh air. We basically sat next to the restrooms. The bar is really noisy and the service in that area was not nearly what one would expect when dining in a restaurant that costs over $200 pp. Our server did not offer us the nightly specials, was unfriendly and seemed to not understand food allergies. The food was excellent, however. Our family of 5 ordered most items on the menu- the Ahi poke, pasta, Tarro hummus, beef and bacon sliders, seared ahi, local catch which was grey snapper, macadamia crusted mahi, filet, lamb 2 ways, etc. Every dish had a perfect flavor balance and was expertly prepared. The level of cuisine is on par with any top NYC menu. An automatic 4% surcharge is added for the kitchen staff, which I did not mind at all but adding here to make people aware. We will likely return for dinner in the dining room where the experience will more likely align with a dinner bill over $1,000.

      We got there and were going to order a drink while we waited for a table at the bar but the bar was full. The hostess moved us to the patio and we sat at nice table outside and enjoyed the last of the sunset. They called our table, treated us to a glass of champagne for my retirement and then the wonderful food and service started. Carmen took wonderful care of us and kept us felling special the entire night. We split the app, salad and meal - to have more of their great food and it was outstanding. Ask for Carmen and enjoy…..

      We always have dinner at Merriman’s when we’re in Maui. Everything is always perfect - from the food to the views to the service! We were celebrating a birthday and they couldn’t have made it more special. Our server Mike was great!

      We had a great dining experience at Merriman’s! The view is spectacular, the food was amazing and our servers were all so fun and made great recommendations! They also did a special bubbly toast to our daughter for her birthday and brought dessert out on a special birthday plate!

      Everything about this place is first class. Server was very attentive and made this anniversary dinner very special. The food was excellent and our view allowed us to enjoy a whale show during our dinner. It's not cheap but worth every penny.

      Merriman’s has never let us down. We had meatless entrees and we both ate every bite. B ordered pasta from the Starters/Apps menu and I had a mushroom pot pie special. I struggle finding words to adequately describe the flavors, textures, and beauty of the pot pie. A blend of mushrooms and each flavor stood out. The crust was brilliant; absolutely perfect. The dough was stretched over a cast iron pie plate and it had risen probably 4” over the mushrooms inside. And the pastry was delicious. Honestly, a top 5 dining experience of a lifetime of fine food. But salads, yes. Off of the menu, but perfect. Generous portion of very fresh everything. I had the blue cheese crumbles on mine and B went without dairy. Mango, avocado, tomato, greens dressed with subtle citrus dressing. Perfect.

      We come to Merrimans at least once if not twice each trip. Previous times have been amazing!! This time they sat us outside under a patio. Lots of bugs and the waiter was not their normal quality. We ordered the special and he came back after a long time after we ordered, 45min - 1 hr and said they were all out. Wondering if he didn’t put the order in earlier. Going back on Monday and will ask for indoors and a better waiter/waitress.
