Merriman’s Kapalua is a very nice restaurant with a beautiful setting- though unfortunately it was too dark and windy tonight to really enjoy the view everyone talks about. The food, however, was fresh and flavorful across the board.
We started with the complimentary bread service and the little shot of soup- both a nice touch. The Ceviche Aguachile was one of our favorites of the night- the citrus sauce was bright and zesty, and we ended up dipping our bread in it because it was so good. The Chow Fun Noodles with Pork & Shrimp were excellent- full of flavor. The Charred Ahi Tuna was another standout- perfectly seared with that smoky charred flavor we loved. The white fish special with shrimp was tasty too, though a bit on the salty side.
Drinks were okay- we skipped the Mai Tai since it’s the same as Monkeypod (same restaurant group) and went for dirty martinis instead, but they were nothing special and definitely overpriced at $26 each.
Service was the one real miss. It took about 10–15 minutes before anyone came over to our table after we were seated, and throughout dinner, our dirty plates sat on the table for a while even as new dishes arrived. It didn’t ruin the meal, but for a restaurant at this level and price point, we expected better attention to detail.
Overall, it was a great dinner- very expensive with somewhat small portions, but the quality and flavors made it worth experiencing at least once while in Maui. We also enjoyed the little brownie to-go dessert they give you after dinner.

Merriman’s came recommended from a friend of a friend – and did not disappoint! The atmosphere was perfect with ocean views and whale watching from the patio. We had dinner at the bar and watched the sunset. The food was spectacular, and the staff all very friendly and professional. Light live ambient music as well to add to the vibe. We would definitely go back!

Excellent views (before dark), service, and atmosphere. Food was good but not sure the value was there given there’s so much choice for great food around the island at more reasonable price points. Hirabara Farms beet salad was a miss. Tasteless beets albeit fresh arugula and pleasant, light dressing. Daily feature fresh catch ceviche was refreshing with perfect balance of flavour. Macadamia crusted mahi mahi was delicious as was the Ahi Tuna steak daily special. Both were super fresh. Spicy green beans side dish was limp and flavourless with zero spice.

JD D was awesome, very in depth about the food and gave us a great amount of time to enjoy our drinks and hang out before ordering. Food was fantastic, would come back every week if I lived in Maui! Oh and a special treat for my birthday!

First time dining here as a customer since maybe 2015? I tend to eat here more often as a wedding vendor photographing events. Honestly though whether as a guest or vendor this place always turns out phenomenal food. If your main concern is quality, fresh and thoughtful food then Merriman’s is your answer. They’re great with celiac or allergies and the servers are all top notch.

My husband and I visited Merriman’s in Maui during our luxury honeymoon, and it was an absolutely unforgettable experience. We originally hoped to dine in the main restaurant, but there was no availability. When I called and explained our situation, the staff kindly reserved two seats at the bar, which ended up being fantastic.
We had a great view, and from the moment we sat down, our bartender was nonstop attentive. We were welcomed with two orchid leis each (which I happily paid for, they were gorgeous), followed by a glass of champagne as soon as we were seated. When we opened the menus, we were surprised to see they were customized with our names at the top, which was such a thoughtful touch.
For dinner, I ordered the macadamia nut–crusted mahi mahi, and my husband had the pork shank. Both dishes were outstanding, and we would absolutely order those same entrées again. We arrived around 5:00 p.m. specifically to catch the sunset around 5:30, and it did not disappoint. Merriman’s has a beautiful lanai where you can walk out and watch the sunset. You can also dine out there later in the evening with more bar-style offerings.
At the end of the night, we were presented with a custom dessert featuring a Hawaiian saying written on it. It did say Happy Birthday (even though it wasn’t our birthday), which honestly made it even more special because we laughed about it. The dessert isn’t on the menu, but it’s their s’mores dessert, and if you’re a s’mores fan, I highly recommend asking if they can make it happen.
We’ll be back in February for my husband’s 40th birthday, and Merriman’s will absolutely be our first stop. Exceptional food, service, and attention to detail. highly recommend.

The atmosphere and environment was great! I celebrated my friend’s birthday and they did make it special! The food was all delicious. I got the mahi dish and definitely fresh. My friend got the steak and it was very soft and tender. My favorite was the chips that came with the ceviche.

Dining here is an experience! Went here to celebrate a special occasion
The complementary valet greeted us with smiles and went above and beyond. We arrived early and sat at the patio – for sunset and photos. You can order apps and drinks here.
The food here is outstanding, right from the complementary bread and the dip. We had the chowfun noodles and the macadamia crusted mahi mahi (photos show only half portion). Both of them were very tasty and well seasoned.
Special thanks to Lisa for making our occasion really special. She is truly a master of her art and one of the best hostess we have ever encountered.
Cherry on the top – they celebrated our special occasion with a complementary dessert and prosecco.
Must try place and would love to be back!

We went to Merriman’s Kapalua for my 30th birthday dinner, and it was truly an unforgettable experience from start to finish.
The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful, and the staff was welcoming, friendly, and attentive without ever feeling overbearing. I was greeted with a stunning seashell lei, which was a paid add-on but completely worth it and such a special way to start the evening. The menu itself was also beautiful and thoughtfully curated.
As the vegetarian of the group at a seafood-forward restaurant, I was honestly so impressed. They offered a few vegetarian appetizers and an incredible falafel entrée. When you hear “falafel” as the vegetarian option at a seafood restaurant, expectations are usually pretty low, but this dish completely blew me away. It was flavorful, well balanced, and genuinely one of the best vegetarian entrées I have had. I was so grateful they offered it and beyond impressed with how delicious it was. The hummus appetizer with crudité was also phenomenal and a standout.
My husband and our friend absolutely loved their meals as well. My husband ordered the sashimi appetizer and the macadamia crusted swordfish, and both were outstanding. Swordfish is his favorite fish, and he said this was the best he has ever had. Our friend ordered the catch of the day, which was mahi-mahi with shrimp, and they were equally impressed.
The drinks were fantastic and definitely strong, which we appreciated, and the dessert options were excellent. We ordered two desserts and were also surprised with a complimentary birthday ice cream, which was such a thoughtful and kind touch.
The staff truly made the night feel special and memorable, and the complimentary valet parking was an added bonus that made the whole experience feel even more seamless.
Merriman’s Kapalua delivered incredible food, warm hospitality, and a perfect atmosphere for a special occasion. I could not recommend it more and would absolutely return.

Merrimans is outstanding! The attention to detail is insane here!!! They called before we came in to confirm it was a birthday and whose it was – when I was seated I received a menu wishing me a happy birthday and some other lovely surprises! I wish I took photos of the food but it was all so amazing and delicious I didn’t take any! The ceviche is amazing! The special fish dish of the day (Thai green curry sauce with kampachi and shrimp) was to die for! Desserts I reccomend are definitely the crème brûlée if they have it and the bread pudding! Jasmine took amazing care of us!
Seriously the attention to detail throughout the service was next level and beautiful. Merrimans is a must on your visit to Maui!
Side note – I had a 4pm reservation and called to switch to 5:30 and the host convinced me to keep 4pm to full get the sunset and scenery and they were not wrong! It was amazing!
