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.

Our order was taken immediately and Leek soup severed immediately drinks came quickly. Now it gets bad!! 30 minutes before our second course was served and we never saw our waiter!! 40 minutes later for our main course!!!! My fish came out COLD!!!! My husband had to get up and talk with a manager because we couldn’t find our waiter !! We were at this restaurant for close to 3 hours!! 2 people! So bad!!

Many in my dinner party were expecting to have the Duck L’orange entrée as well as the chocolate purse, both of which were not offered on the actual menu. For a restaurant to publish a set prefix menu for $125 per person. I would expect the online menu to match what is actually offered and if not updated expediently. While I mentioned this issue to the waiter he offered a mild apology, so we were stuck with the menu in the restaurant. I don’t blame the waiter and didn’t want to note the discrepancy with him as it is the chef and owners responsibility to make sure what they post online is accurate for such an event.
