Review of Merriman's Hawaii

Nice location if you want to wander around.

This was a special occasion so we decided to splurge. This place is pricey, which normally would deter me. But, I like to splurge on a special occasion. When I do, I want to make sure it is worth it, because plenty of places in Hawaii will take your money and feed you garbage.

This place is worth your splurge. The menu is delicious, and creative.
I ordered the goat cheese Mac and cheese appetizer. Ive had great Mac but this was truly wonderful. I was stoked on the goat cheese already but what I was really impressed by was the pumpkin seeds and fennel on top. It was so different and gave it an entire new, and delicious flavor.

My boyfriend had the oysters, which they smoke, and actually bring to you still smoking, which is cool.
I had their lamb special, again so much flavor.

In addition, our server was super professional and polite. He described everything perfectly. The rest of the staff was also helpful with taking care of us.

I sat near their open kitchen, so naturally I was watching everything. Everything coming through looked delicious and everything just flowed so smoothly.

Oh! And the ambiance was great. Live music was lovely.
If only we could have a Merriman s this good on Kauai?
