Merriman's Kauai

Excellent service!!! There's a nice breeze that comes through the restaurant. It's very clean. The server was very attentive to my gluten sensitivity. I would highly recommend it. Just know it's a higher end restaurant. 4 of us spent $350 ish and that was no alcohol. They told us over the phone that it would be a 45 minute late. However, we went anyway and got seated immediately.

We arrived in a pretty sour mood. My husband broke two toes while we are here so he couldn’t drive. I’m not able to drive at night. We couldn’t find a ride to the restaurant. We ended up being 20 minutes late for our reservation. Our server turned that around. Ashlynn was so incredibly kind and knowledgeable. She had a great energy about her. The food was amazing. I am gluten-free and she was very helpful in determining what I could eat. She totally nailed her wine recommendations. We were in such a great mood by the end of our dinner!

Merriman’s 10 out of 10 experience at Merriman’s. We require gluten-free options (Celiac) and Merriman’s delivered! The Poke appetizer was amended to be GF. The sweet potato chips are done in a non-dedicated fryer so not GF (Celiac-support team enjoyed these!). The Macadamia nut crust for the Ahi Ahi was specially prepared to be GF. Our server Justine was knowledgeable and a delight. The only GF dessert available at our visit was Sorbet, but this did not detract from a fabulous meal in a wonderful atmosphere in a magical place. We immediately made another reservation!
