And then the server kept forgetting what we asked for. Had to wait forever for everything when there weren't many people coming at. For the omakase, they tell you it's 9 courses(I can't believe they count each piece as 1 course) but turns out all there is is what's in this plate in this photo and it costs $50. Every thing we ordered tasted bad except for the dessert. Of course we waited a long time for the check in the end. Good atmosphere at this place though. The seats by the window were uncomfortable because the table was small and too low so we had to switch tables.

I was lucky enough to snag a last-minute reservation for two at the bar, and while we were there, I noticed our favorite Maui musician, Akoni, was playing that Friday and Saturday. Of course, I had to try to get back! I managed to grab another last-minute reservation, and we were seated right by Akoni. It was the perfect night -- amazing food, wonderful service, great music, and such a fun atmosphere. Seeing Akoni is always a highlight for us, but getting to enjoy his music at Merriman's made it even better. 10/10 recommend Merriman's and 20/10 recommend seeing Akoni perform live (and stream his music on Spotify)!

Mahalo Christian 10/10! Quesadilla was tasty and the accompanying salsa was excellent. Mai Tai en point. Happy they served non alcoholic beers too. The French fries were delish, crispy and salty, just what you want in the heat after a swim. Use the chair tag QR code to view the menu and ask Christian to place your order. We loved the swimming pools, especially sitting under the waterfall to get a free shoulder massage, then alternating with the hot spa for a back massage. The hot then cold combo is great for the muscles. Towels are free, along with suntan cream so make sure you use them. There were so many burned people at the pool. Love the Ritz pools, adults only areas and kiddos areas to keep everyone happy. Fantastic pools, beautifully scenic views, you really can't beat it!

The pools are beautiful, the grounds are stunning and the beach is absolutely amazing. I especially loved that the beach has full service, so you can actually relax without having to constantly get up for everything. The food was also really good and I have to give a special shoutout to the photographers. We decided to do a photo shoot while we were there and they were fantastic. If you're going to splurge on photos, I definitely think it's worth doing here. My only reason for not giving it five stars is more about the location than the resort itself. Maui has so much to see and do, and I found this side of the island to be a little windier than I would have preferred. After experiencing different parts of Maui, I think I would personally choose the Kaanapali area going forward. I found it a little more convenient for what I like to do and the overall vibe for me was just better.

Unfortunately the only restrooms they have are a couple porta potties outside. I ordered the prime rib ($38) which was their Friday and Saturday special. It was a large piece of meat that was crusted with pepper outside. I liked the dipping sauce and the mashed potatoes. I also tried the kalbi ($34) which was flavorful but a little chewy at parts. For drinks I ordered the mai tai ($15) which was strong but still on the sweeter side. They have daily happy hour from 3-5pm and live music every Saturday from 6-8pm. We had a big group with kids and no reservations and they were able to accommodate us without a problem so we were very appreciative.

Google maps made it harder to find that they should have but free beach parking next door if you're not staying there so maybe that was the reason. In any case find your way to the front desk of the Outrigger hotel there and it's right there. Service was great, our waitress was amazing, friendly and fun! She made great recommendations for dishes to try and everything from the kitchen was great. I forgot to take a pic of my food but I got the salad I had been craving after too many days of spam and Kalua pork. Hawaiian Saimin (like ramen) was great too and I forget what other people had but they all seemed to enjoy it except the Poke bowl which was tried at various places on the island and never enjoyed so maybe it was they just aren't into Poke but kept trying it anyway? Great little spot, great drinks, great prices felt very casual and mellow not high end touristy more divey and chill. Would love to come back and just hang at the bar.

My cousins ordered cocktails and our server was so kind to let them know if they weren't happy with it, they could exchange it which they did. The first course of delicious appetizers was the Caesar salad with anchovies and the Kahuku Sweet Corn Agnolotti with Keahole lobster! That was so buttery delicious and small enough to make you want more! The homemade taro rolls with butter, oil and honey was a nice accompaniment. Our second course was just right portion wise and savory. My cousin even said he was full, which never happens since he loves to eat! We enjoyed the 48-hour Wagyu Prime Rib which was so tender and easily cut with a butter knife. Yummy dollops of potato purée and broccolini were beautifully placed around the meat. My other cousin enjoyed his Shrimp Scampi with fresh house made tagliatelle, capers, Kula tomato and basil. The dessert course was a great way to end our meal. I got the Pineapple Upside Down cake with a scoop of Ube Ice Cream, biscotti crumble and Kula Rum Caramel. My cousin's panna cotta was made with local Maui Kuia Chocolate and chantilly cream with a tuile that had light sprinkle of black pepper. Overall, a wonderful experience and only $79 for the 3 courses! We will definitely be back.

So of course we ate at Cane & Canoe nearly every night of our stay. We also ate here for breakfast one day. For the price, I think it's very overrated. But here's what I think are good. - the bar menu has more casual food (burgers taste good, fries are good) and for staters, they give you gourmet popcorn - the dining room has yummy bread starters with honey, whipped butter, and olive oil From the dining room, I really liked their jidori chicken!! more than their steak. Their pineapple upside down cake was yummy and warm too. Their normal price seems really steep though and the views aren't that good. As for service, all of our servers were friendly and made small talk with us, and delivered every plate with a smile. Overall solid 4/5, 3.5 if I had to pay full price.
