    My family and I were excited to have dinner at Merriman’s — supposedly the dining highlight of our trip. Only to be sorely disappointed by tortured food from a generation ago. To be fair, our server was lovely, the view was spectacular, and the valet guys were great (valet is the only option). These things couldnt possibly make up for the letdown of the food nor the hefty price tag — $300 for two entrees, one appetizer, two cocktails, and $10 pasta from the keiki menu. We were greeted with a gross “amuse bouche” mushroom thing in a shot glass. It was lukewarm, bland and tasted exactly like Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup. It might have been. And, for reasons unknown, mushrooms were a feature in every overdone fish dish, turning what could have been decent dishes into oddities that just tasted bad. Other seafood was weighed down with ingredients that didn’t fit like za’tar spice. I love these ingredients. I hated the way Merriman’s used them to make fresh food worse. They also leaned in hard to outdated ‘80s hits like buerre blanc and blackened fish. I had the macadamia crusted fish. And even with the sauce on the side, the beautiful fish was tortured and greasy. My husband had charred ahi and the char was so overpowering it drowned out the subtle ahi taste. The sides were even more lackluster. Undercooked and overly greasy broccoli and rice stuffed into a triangle mold (dear lord, molds?!) with some sort of relish on top — no discernible common theme across these odd ingredients. We just didn’t get it. Why wasn’t there a perfectly cooked grilled fish with lemon on the menu? Keep it basic when you’ve got the best ingredients at your fingertips! At least the fish would have died for worthy preparation. We left the restaurant with the sad realization that our kid’s bow tie pasta was the best meal of the evening. Bottom line: if you’re expecting a fresh, quality meal and good cooking, search elsewhere.

    Amazing food, and Lisa was a delightful server for my wife and I on our honeymoon. The view here is worth checking out! Can't wait to come back.

    By far the best restaurant on Maui! This restaurant is often compared to mama's fish house for the title of best restaurant on the island, but I can confidently say that Merrimans takes the cake. Multiple dishes were not just good, but outstanding! The service was impeccable as well, our server went above and beyond throughout the entire meal! Could not recommend enough, would come back to this island just to visit this restaurant again.
