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.

The view alone at Merriman's is worth the visit! Great food, live music, and both outdoor and indoor seating options. The service was great. The inside has a more formal vibe with white tablecloths, and valet parking makes things convenient. It made for a magical first night in Maui. A must-visit for anyone in the area!

We had the best evening of our trip visiting Merriman's Kapalua! The views are worth it alone- best sunset we had the entire trip. We enjoyed all of our food and drinks. The star entree was the gnocchi with scallops and clams. Will be back!

Don't even know how to write this review. Rare is it that we find everything to be perfect! Service - big shout out to Robert, your timing and recommendations were amazing. We appreciated so much the timing of our courses. Your suggestions for our main course was perfect. Management - thank you for coming by and couple/few times to check in. Your sincerity and ability to engage in light conversation is so rarely seen anywhere. Usually it is a "drive by" from management even at many Fine Dining restaurants. Well done! Hostess - friendly, kind and great sense of humor! Our food: We split the Home Made Cavatelli and Papaya, Avocado, Tomato and Fennel Salad. Both were recommendations from Robert and they were a big hit. The Pasta especially, I could have easily had a full bowl as my main course. The mushrooms in the pasta were fabulous. Main Course: We split the Rib Eye and Fresh catch of the day - Kampachi in a Macadamia Nut crust. The Rib Eye was perfectly prepared, the winner for us was how tender and tasty the Kampachi was. Would gladly order both again. Cocktails: We asked Robert for his recommendations and he suggested the Merriman's Mai Tai. He was right, they were so good. We each had a couple. Great dining experience, fantastic service and in our opinion tremendous value! And... the VIEW was spectacular! Mahalo

What a beautiful restaurant! We came on a rainy/windy day, but the view was still amazing. The ambiance is 10/10. Wish we could've tried the seafood dishes, but we weren't too hungry by the evening - so we wanted something simple for our stomach. We shared the hummus and steak. Carmen is an amazing server!!! Everyone there was so attentive, friendly, and personable. Shoutout to the valet too! They were great and were very welcoming. Forgot to take photos:(

A beautiful fine dining establishment. The food and service were excellent. We had the Wok charred Ahi & Ono, Kalua pork & sweet onion quesadilla, and chilled white pacific shrimp. Everything was well made, fresh and delicious. The main selling point that distinguish this eatablishment from the rest is its georgeous location, situated to have an unobstructed view of the Maui sunset. Unfortunately we didnt win the weather jackpot, as the evening was cloudy and windy. That was no fault of theirs Reservation is required. The menu pricing is what one would expected of a Hawaiian fine dining restaurant. No real dress code as plenty of people including myself attended in beach wear. Would recommend if you are interested in fine dining with a memorable view.

Do not miss this place if you're looking for an upscale dining experience in Maui. The ambiance is perfect. The restaurant has breathtaking sunset views. They have a great selection of cocktails and wine. We started our meal off with the octopus escargot and it was really good. Then we split the beet salad (I thought it was super cool they they are the only place making carbon neutral goat cheese with a local farm). They were some of the best beets I've ever had. Then my wife and I split the ahi and diver scallops. Both were very delicious. The chocolate purse was a fantastic dessert. My favorite dessert is a chocolate lava cake and this was very similar to that. It paired very nicely with an espresso martini. We were able to get some great pictures as the sun was setting. It was truly a remarkable evening and the service was impeccable.

A truly one of a kind anniversary experience in the heart of Kapalua Maui. We booked a reservation telling them it was our 2 year anniversary and they blew us out the water. The staff is exceptional and very helpful. They know their stuff. Any questions will be answered and jokes will be made. Our waiter also did a great job at explaining the catch for today and their specials. We first sat at the bar enjoyed a Mai Tai and another specialty drink. The host was kind the entire time and got us seated in a timely manner. As for the food -- the sashimi was very fresh as to be expected for Hawaii. But the ribeye steak here is an absolute must. Super juicy, tender and succulent. I would come here again just for the steak alone. A classy place for couples or anyone looking for an upper echelon experience. Thank you guys again for making our vacation visit a place to remember. One of the best memories I'll have for a lifetime.

After extensive research online on Yelp, multiple food blogs and Reddit (yes, Reddit is a fabulous source for food reviews), we decided to book Merriman's Kapalua, and it was probably one of the best dining experiences I've ever had - definitely ranking in the top 10 so far. In addition to that, the view of the ocean and sunset from our table was exceptionally breathtaking. From start to end, our server Miguel gave us a personalized experience. He was attentive, resourceful, and added to our evening. We were celebrating my partner's birthday, and Merriman's - Kapalua and staff definitely made it one to remember. From the live music to front-row seat watching the sunset to 5-star food quality, we were big fans. We easily spent over a few enjoyable hours just enjoying the entire experience. This place felt like a dream. The food, drinks, and dessert were all phenomenal. We honestly had zero to no complaints about any of it, which is rare! Miguel did a great job pacing the orders too, because everything came out at the right temperature and time. The three standouts of the evening: Daily Fish Special - Hawaiian Ono Pineapple-Macadamia Nut Bread Pudding No Ka 'Oi My partner and I agreed that the Ono was probably one of the best-prepared fish we've had in a very long time. We were blown away by how tender, flavorful, and delicious it was. Overall, we're extremely huge fans of Merriman's - Kapalua. I strongly recommend checking this place out if you're celebrating a special occasion and/or are looking for an upscale food experience in Maui! Oh, and keep an eye out for reservations! We initially had an earlier time, but was able to snag a reservation closer to sunset. Be diligent! We're both still smiling about how magical the experience was!
