Merriman’s Kauai
As the pioneer of Hawai‘i Regional cuisine for the past 30 years, Chef Owner Peter Merriman dominates the Hawai‘i culinary scene by serving thoughtfully crafted dishes. Merriman’s Hawai‘i continues to offer sophisticated dining in an unpretentious atmosphere where 90% of the restaurants’ ingredients are locally sourced.
Merriman’s Kauai offers a charming, relaxed atmosphere that evokes a bygone era with its plantation-style architecture and warm, inviting décor. Guests can sit on the patio and watch the sun set over the foliage and glimpse ocean water as they indulge in an authentic menu of Hawai‘i Regional Cuisine. Its menu highlights include “Dirt Grown Salads” and “Crudo of the Day” sourced from local purveyors and a happy hour menu that includes the must-try Merriman’s Mai Tai with honey lilikoi foam.
