Description: Chef/Owner Peter Merriman has transplanted his version of Hawaii Regional Cuisine to this beautiful ocean-side location in the Kapalua resort. He uses only the freshest products of which 90% or more are locally produced or caught, using only sustainable methods. Peter has always been a front runner in the "Farm to Table" concept. All food is prepared in a way that highlights the natural flavors of the food. We have a very friendly staff to ensure that you have an incredible dining experience. Their food knowledge is among the best in the industry. All this is in the most beautiful location within the resort, right on the water where the most incredible sunsets are watched nightly at our oceanfront winebar.

We ad canapés which tasted fantastic, highly recommend the kahlua pork and beef sliders! The staff were also very friendly... More

My husband and I had our 21st Anniversary on Maui and we choose Merriman's based on a recommendation from the owners of the condo we rented and a friend who had only had pupus and drinks but thought the ambiance was amazing. And she was right. It sits on a point overlooking beautiful Kapaula Bay and the island of Moliki... More

We arrived here after sunset yet still the atmosphere was amazingly beautiful. We started with the prawn special then each had the dual plate where you can try two dishes instead of 1. Between the two of us, we were able to try 4 entrees. We could not select a clear winner since each and every one of the four... More

The one restaurant we knew we'd eat at again when we returned to Maui is Merriman's. Sometimes when you revisit a favorite place your return trip is disappointing - not the case here! We again came for sunset - this time we were treated to some sprinkles also, but the view is still stunning. We chatted with the sommelier, Greg,... More

Eating at Merriman's was simply the best dining experience we have ever had in all of Hawaii. The restaurant is wonderful (in a perfect location with a spectacular view), the staff is excellent, and the food is outstanding. We asked for a table "by the rail" when we made our reservation, so, we had a fabulous, unobstructed view of a... More

Excellent service! Excellent setting right on the water with a beautiful sunset on the horizon. Loved the patio and fire pit with flaming torches after dark. Most of all the meal was exquisite. Expect to pay higher prices but it is well worth it. We didn't arrive until later in the evening and were disappointed the live entertainment quit at... More

It was twice as nice, since Kelly and I share the same birthday. The view is undeniably one of the best on the island. Starting with our call to Wendy to make our reservations until our departure from the restaurant our experience was incredible. We arrived a little early to sit at the cool bar where we enjoyed the cool... More

We had a great table overlooking the water & we watched the sun go down behind Lanai in a brilliant sky. The food was great - the drinks strong. Make sure you request a good view table when you make your reservation.

We were recommended this place for a nice romantic dinner. The restaurant is in an excellent location, with great views of the ocean, and perfect for sunset watching. We had drinks on the terrace while waiting for our table (highly recommend the ‘one of a kind mai tai’) with very friendly service. Dinner was ok, had the small mahi mahi... More

My wife and I recently enjoyed dinner here for our "parent's night out" during our family vacation. I chose Merriman's because the reviews described the service, food and views as excellent. They were all right. Our table overlooked Kapalua Bay and Molokai, and the sunset was incredible. Our evening started with pineapple martinis, which were delicious. We moved on to... More
