Merrimans Honolulu

We are huge fans of Merrimans, and have experienced all of the other Merrimans, on Maui, Kauai and the Big Island. This location was the only one we hadn't been to.... The ambiance is wonderful, the food delicious, as always! Paul, our server, was great! The Wagyu burger was amazing! It may not be on the beach ... It is still one of the absolutely best restaurants you can eat in.

Outstanding dinner at Merrimans for my birthday. The food and service were perfect. We sat outside which was a little windy, but enjoyed our time there nonetheless. We started with the avocado and cucumber salad which was delicious with a hit of spice from the sliced jalapenos. I had the mahi mahi fish special which was amazing, perfectly cooked and I wanted to lick the plate the sauce was so Delicious. We also had the chicken which is a good option and my friend couldn't finish it. It was drained perfectly and you could taste the layers of flavor.

Bag of biscuits and the Wagyu Umami burger. Make sure you order these. Oh and a Mai Tai. For some reason I just wanted a burger. Don’t ask me why. But it was pretty solid. I was impressed and happy with my choice. The bag of biscuits was perfect! I loved it. Busy spot, make sure you have a reservation. Aloha!

The scallops were fresh and cooked to perfection. The restaurant was a little louder than I expected but not too loud. This is fine dining that doesn’t require a reservation months in advance. The servers were attentive and offered their own suggestions about the menu items. I enjoyed myself here because it gave pure romantic vibes on the island. The beach is close but that’s the focus of the restaurant which is in contrast to other fine dining on the island.

The only reason for the 4 stars.... we had first eaten at the original Merrymans on the big island. The mac nut fish was better, more of the yummy sauce and a larger portion. Just wasn't up to the original. The french onion soup was really good. I think i have only had one other occasion that i have had better in Salt Lake City. The waitress was great, and the outside seating was quite nice.

Everything were fantastic. Food service atmosphere. Can't comment on the price since my friend paid, I believe this place is above average in price. Main dishes were grilled fish and lamb chop. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Hummus was tasty and breads were fantastic. Good selections of beer and wine. Good place to splurge.

Superb dining with a casual-ish atmosphere. I’ve been to Merriman’s many times for both lunch and dinner and am always impressed. They do everything they can to source ingredients locally in Hawai’i and everything I’ve had is delicious. Try the hummus plate appetizer and the daily fish special. They also have a nice full bar with a decent whiskey selection and craft beers.
