    Overall, a beautiful experience. Having a table close to the water was perfect. The coconut shrimp starter was great. Our Mahi dish was wonderful. We ordered cocktails to start, and due to some technical glitch at the bar, the drinks arrived very late. Nicely, compensation was made.

    Another win for Merriman! Fits in the Ka’anapali vibe very nicely. A little more upscale than Monkeypod yet casual at the same time. Great food! Great service! Great location! With the loss of so many Lahaina icons, it’s great to see some new and yet familiar options fill the void. The focaccia bread was fabulous. Super Caesar salad. How can you screw up a Caesar salad? Overdressed? Underdressed? Lousy croutons? Limp romaine? These were on point! After two weeks of eating great island fish my wife and I both wanted some meat. She went with a burger and boy did it deliver! More than enough for a hungry diner. Cooked perfectly! With tasty toppings. And o ton of tasty crispy fries. While wanting some beef, I couldn’t ignore that beautiful ocean so I went with the surf and turf. The filet, again cooked perfectly and soooo tender! The ulu mashed potatoes were comforting and yummy. And while lobster ravioli may not be the usual “surf” combination, it stood up well to the richness of the filet and herb butter. No room for dessert after all that but the choices looked tempting. If you are a fan of Merriman like we are, you will like Ulu Kitchen!
