Had the lobster special (farm raised off the Big Island) with a side of the caper sauce. It was ok. The service was enthusiastic but not smooth -- maybe his first night? The lobster was what you might expect at Red Lobster, the corn on the cob overcooked, the sauce bland. There are better places to eat here and the... More

we took my mother for her 95th birthday and everything was excellent -the food, the service, the ambiance. The staff went out of their way to make it a special evening for all. More

Great sceen - 4+ food - fantastic service. I make it a point to eat at Merriman's whenever I am in Poipu which is several times a year. Always super fresh fish. One of my favorite salads (and I mean favorite from anyplace in the world) is the tomato, beet, papaya and blue cheeze - what an amazing and perfect... More

Yes, it is expensive, but we felt it was... More

Went for lunch in Downstairs cafe - Both of us left hungry and $45 poorer. However, the poke, crab & corn chowder, and fried shrimp plate were all tasty. Wait service was fine. Better choices are surely available, though. More

The price is a little high, but the atmosphere and food is very good. The service is excellent. More

Our group of 3 couples are pretty discriminating when it comes to food and service and this restaurant made us all very happy. The restaurant is elevated so you have a great view over the rail of the sunset. The poke was so nice and fresh and the fish was just as fresh. The wine list is really good also.... More

Great food and service. The monchong was outstanding, and the shrimp scampi was very good, though I'm not crazy about a shrimp dish with the heads still on the shrimp. It was somewhat pricey, but fair considering the quality of the food offered. Should be given a try if you're staying in Poipu. More

we've tried them all and merriman's is the best in Poipu. Food and service-outstanding. the only downside- compared to others- the view- but who cares after dark !!! More
