If you are looking for Tex-Mex, or SoCal Mexican, or Mexican food, this is not that. This is Hawaii…read moreIsland, so 'Mexican food' is similar, but different in major areas. Same would be corn tortillas, tomato based salsa, delicious gaucamole. Chips and salsa are not complimentary, listed as an appetizer. We ordered gaucamole which was a scoop plopped down on top of the chips, which was a bit messy, would have preferred it to be in a separate bowl to allow dipping rather than digging chips out from under the gaucamole. Differing would be chili verde is with tomatillos, refried beans are mostly whole and only partially pureed, and not cooked in ham or lard - all the seasoning is very mild. The tomatillo salsa has some heat, but that's about it. My wife had the poblano pepper, corn tortilla tacos. Nicely served (3) upright in side-by-side slots, but it was just chicken, a couple slices of poblano, some melted cheese over the top, no other veggies. Very bland, meat-heavy tacos. I had chicken fajitas, on the menu listed as 'non-sizzling', meaning the meat and peppers cooked on a flat top or skillet and plated. They were good, very lightly seasoned the small warm corn tortillas were delicous. The rice had the usual reddish color but no other spices that we could tell - very bland - as were the beans as per above. For dessert my wife had a sweet tamale...yes, I know...she liked it but I didn't care for it. Corn flavor came through, but sweet - maybe worth a try for more than one to sample. I had the flan which was pretty solid and topped with carmel sauce. Different, but a good difference. It is located upstairs (elevator or stairs) above a bar in a pedestrian shopping center, so you no one would stumble upon it by accident. Great staff, very helpful, willing to adjust to requests, small bar with about 10-12 tables. As long as you go without expecting 'the same I'm used to back home', and open to variations on the familiar, you'll enjoy at least parts of your meal...I'd go back, my wife said it was some of the worst Mexican food she's ever had. Low-veggie presence, mild seasoning, but focus on the friends you're with and the fact you are on the big Island!

What an incredible experience!!…read more Came here with family and had Gabby as our server, she was wonderful. I enjoyed everything, from the drinks to the appetizers to the dessert. We started with the Mai tai flight, ahi poke and tako escargot. All were so good, would definitely order again. For entrees we ordered a mix of the spicy lobster ravioli, chateaubriand, and ahi katsu. I love that they allow you to combine two entrees, even if it's for a slight upcharge. Everything was great. No complaints at all. Portion sizing was perfect too, with the addition of the appetizers. For dessert we opted for the pineapple bread pudding which was delicious as well. Perfect with the ice cream. We definitely would've come back if we had more time or if we were in the area. Good idea to make reservations in advance.

Our waiter did a wonderful job reciting each dish, all sounding irresistible. Unfortunately,…read moresomehow, the elements on the plate didn't quite live up to our expectations, nor did they melt in harmony. Each dish seemed to stand apart from one another. The appetizers were yummy. We started with the Tako "Escargot" and a half portion of the Spicy Lobster Ravioli. The ravioli was phenomenal; I regret not ordering the full size entree. The complimentary bread is excellent as well. For the entrees, we got the Lamb Chops and Half/Half of the Curried Hamakua Macadamia Nut Fish and Roasted Chateaubriand. The fish and chateaubriand were ok. I personally preferred the fish over the chateaubriand. I liked the curry/coconut flavor of the sauce, but my friend thought it was a bit bland. My friend liked the chateaubriand over the fish. I thought it was good, but nothing stood out especially given what the price was on it. The lamb chops were the real disappointment. I asked for a medium-rare cook, but some parts of the lamb chop were blue. I loved the Passion Fruit Mousse for dessert. The tartness of the passion fruit is brought out in this dish but not overly tart. The texture of the mousse was very fluffy and nice as well. Considering Merriman's was going to be THE fine dining experience during our stay in Hawaii, the entrees were not it. I'm glad they use organic produce, fresh fish, organically green cows, etc. but their execution as a farm-to-table restaurant needs work. I could not really taste the benefits of a farm-to-table restaurant in any of their entrees and was especially disappointed being served nearly inedible lamb chops. Decor is nice; the place has a calm and inviting atmosphere. Staff is very friendly as well.
