This is the second time we have been to Nature for a special celebration and they completely outdo themselves every time. The service is phenomenal, the drinks were perfect and the food was absolutely delicious. If we could, we would eat here every day. They made my birthday so special last year and my husband’s birthday so special this year! I love that they have a menu that can accommodate both vegetarian/vegans and you wouldn’t even be able to tell it’s vegan!!!

Fried rice was hard, not much flavor. Ordered vegetarian omelet twice and both times it was broken on the top, not enough egg? Best pastry item was the chocolate croissant with a custard filling. Servers were nice and friendly, good service.

Merriman's Ward is definitely our first preferred spot for wino wine share get togethers. Food's fantastic and approachable and the corkage is still wino friendly compared with other places that have corkage charges set to discourage bringing special bottles to share with friends. We enjoyed a 3 hour commiseration over a bottle of Radio Silence! Servers were attentive but not intrusive--they let us do our wine share thing; very nice and appropriate wine glasses. All in all a place not to be missed. Thanks and mahalo again Merriman's Ward!!
