"With its vaulted ceilings, candlelit tables, and panoramic ocean views, Merriman's is one of Maui's most elegant and romantic restaurants, without being overly stuffy. The dishes here are made using 90 percent local ingredients, a showcase of the island's seafood, meat, and vegetables. Menu highlights include Keahole lobster with Maui corn and Hawaiian chili pepper, Kahua Ranch lamb with papaya salsa, and taro cakes with Hamakua mushrooms and local Swiss chard." - Juliana Shallcross, Kris Fordham

"Peter Merriman was one of the pioneers of the local food scene in Hawaii—he was at the forefront of efforts to grow vegetables in the local volcanic soils, so they could be eaten fresh (rather than after a lengthy journey on a boat). Today, he partners with local farmers to serve his three restaurants, and there’s one each on Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island. The dining room and menu are dressed up without being overly stuffy, so it’s ideal for a nicer family or group outing. Try the upcountry salad (made with kale and butter lettuce from local farms), the fresh-caught mahi mahi, and vegetarian taro cake."

"You’ve always wanted to crash a wedding, but the fear of knocking over the cake while hiding from the father-of-the-bride has kept you away. Since Merriman’s doubles as one of Maui’s most popular wedding venues, dinner here might be your best chance. Overlooking Kapalua Bay on Maui’s west side, Merriman’s is perfectly positioned for sunset views and gazing out over the water to seem like you’re contemplating life when really you just can’t decide what to order. They use almost exclusively local ingredients in their farm-to-table dishes, though if you’re not looking to spend quite as much, you can still enjoy the views at their outdoor lounge, The Point, which has daily live music and Happy Hour specials from 3-5pm." - Leah Ponichtera

We went to Merriman's for Valentine's Day and it was a magical experience. Our server was so knowledgeable and made excellent recommendations. Since it was Valentine's Day there was a prix fixe menu. I had the taro a l'escargot, the macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi, and the pineapple bread pudding to eat and the Don't Call Me Sal mocktail to drink. Everything was so delicious and unique. I think this was the best meal I've eaten on Maui!

Beautiful restaurant, service second to none, our waiter was exceptional. The kitchen is letting the team down at the moment. Food is okay, nothing is really worth the price tag. Fish could have been fresher, everything needed seasoning, everything needs to be hotter as it’s coming out of the kitchen cold. You’re paying for the view here, not the food. We were grateful for my Mums birthday touch.

Reservation is needed for this place and we reserved this place few months before we know we are going to Maui to celebrate our anniversary. The restaurant location is awesome with amazing sunset view. It has a unique huge deck and it's close to the ocean. You can hear the waves while sipping drinks. Mai Tai is a must order. We ordered Merriman's salad to share, Harissa-spiced diver sea scallops and clams (replaced by prawns due to out of claim and Macadamia nut crusted fresh catch (Mahi Mahi) They gave us honey bread to start which is soft and tasty. The salad has fresh ingredients. The fish are moist and juicy. The scallops are to die for. I am not a fan of gnocchi but it was slightly seared with a crunchy outside but soft inside. It's a perfect texture and I finished all gnocchi at the end. We finished off our dinner with chocolate espresso creme brulee. They gave us ice cream and macadamia nut tart as our anniversary dessert. The tart is surprisingly very delicious. This is a high end expensive restaurant but we are glad that we celebrated our anniversary in such a unique location, excellent service and quality of food. A must try once in your life.

This was a delightful experience. We were told to try Merriman’s and we were beside ourselves with the view of the beautiful ocean, the places to enjoy sitting on the deck having a cocktail before a wonderful dinner inside. The dining area was beautifully maintained. The waiter was exceptional, and the food was delicious. We were overly pleased to find such a delightful place to have a fine dining experience and dinner in Maui.

Great place! Start at the point for a cocktail and then enjoy dinner in a cool relaxed open air restaurant with views everywhere. While pricey the food was excellent and you can taste the local sourcing. We will be back.

We had the most exquisite experience at Merriman’s. We made a reservation for my birthday and I could not have been more blown away with the food, atmosphere and service. From valet, to hostess, to server, server assistance, amazing. The live music was outstanding and made the evening so much more. The views were incredible. Absolutely incredible. The food itself was to die for. Brandy, our server, was incredible thoughtful, genuine and personable. She made my evening absolutely wonderful. At the end of the evening she surprised me with a birthday dessert and offered me heartfelt birthday wishes. I actually cried tears of joy over the whole experience. And I’ve dined at many nice places. Oh, and the wine is great. Don’t play yourself, make a reservation in advance and go. You would be missing out not going here.

Very nice, though may prefer ambience of Mama's a bit more? Always bit of sticker shock at Maui but good $20 is appies $60 to 70 mains and $30 for memorable glasses of wine Service (Jasmine ?) Was great. Food very good 5 stars though not quite Maui best Nice view, but goes away after sunset Bit busy for my liking, cool but busy loud fine dining

Stunning views and amazing ambience. There was live music that was the perfect volume and great lineup of songs. I dined with my husband and our three year old daughter - the staff could not have been more amazing with a small child. The octopus appetizer was delicious. We also had the beet salad, chili broccoli, fish of the day, and wok seared ahi and finished our meal with amazing French press coffee and the bread pudding. We had an early dinner reservation and were able to see the sunset from our table as we finished up. Definitely a must visit in Maui!!
