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.

The place is beautiful and modern, albeit loud inside. Also, I'd say it's not the most Hawaiian vibes, if you're going for that specific vibe. The food was really good. It was expensive, but to be expected. I went with the double fish entree and it escapes me what two fish, but it truly was delicious and maybe the best meal on my limited trip to Maui. The ube bread was dough and delicious smothered in their compounded butter. The cocktail was good. My kids ordered ice cream sandwiches, which we were told were small, but they were actually quite big, to the kids happiness. The service was slower, but the place was packed. Overall, we enjoyed it!

I was really hoping the reviews I read were wrong, but unfortunately they were not…read more We arrived and water was ready on the table. We arrived in 2 separate groups. We were a party of 8. Our server came around and took drink orders right away, like we barely had time to look at the menu. I felt rushed. I think his name was Sean. I ended up with a Mai Tai, which I didn't really care for. It was different than other and had a spice (like cinnamon or something with some other spices) taste to it. We ordered a couple order of bread for the table. Everyone seemed to enjoy it, however our knives and appetizer plates were cleared before the bread was finished and knives were not replaced. Halfway through our server offered kids water cups to my 5 and 7 year old. We also had to ask what the fish or the day was then had to ask how it was prepared. Server was awkward and would randomly come over and hover. Food arrived and everyone seemed happy with their meals. I ordered the shrimp & scallops and like other reviewers said, it was very bland, shrimp was over cooked but my scallops were perfectly cooked. We ordered desserts to split amongst us. Cheesecake was my favorite, lava cake was disappointing and our kids enjoyed their cookie ice cream sandwich. They had those drawing tablets for the kids to draw on while at dinner and I think that is genius! There was a 22% fee for a large party (again, 8 of us) on top of their 4% "convenience fee" It's an open air restaurant and there was no breeze. It was hot and sticky the whole time, which was uncomfortable.

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.

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.

My husband and teenage son and I just stayed in Napili for 10 nights. We have returned to Napili…read morefour times over the last seven years. because we typically cook our own food, go to the sea house, or miso phat, we overlooked Merriman's mostly due to the fact our son was so young. However, as he is now a mid aged teenager and with a developed pallet, we decided to take him. We are from San Francisco so he has grown up going to many fancy restaurants however, in Maui, we tend to be pretty casual and chill. I got on my OpenTable and plugged in our interest because nothing was available the entire 10 days we were there. A few days and I got a ping that a 4 o'clock three top in the bar was available. I snagged it and I'm so happy I did so! Turns out we were right within their happy hour offering so we gladly took advantage and ordered everything off the menu in addition to other items later. The shrimp was incredible the hummus, unique and delicious the pork quesadilla on the rich side, but a nice accompaniment to our appetizer stage of the experience, we got the truffle fries, and as with any truffle fries I've ever had. They were equally delicious. In addition to our main courses, everything was super tasty fresh and well presented. The view and overall environment of the inside bar was incredible. Our accommodations are oceanfront so to still get a wow factor from a restaurant setting other than the sea house notable. The highlight of our experience was our amazing waiter named Dylan, a young man with a polished and professional and friendly approach. He was very attentive and spent time with us, enjoying our stories of life and sharing his own. These were all obviously cliff note versions as he was busy with other tables, but he was really engaging and offered incredible advice on what to order. We have had lots of fine, dining experience, including Michelin star restaurants, and this guy could easily work at any of them however, he did say how happy he was at Merriman's and that says a lot I could tell the staff was all having a good time and enjoying their working experience which then of course the vibe rolls into the guests and their dining experience. I hope the manager reads this and appreciates such a kind young wonderful man working at their establishment and representing to the T. If you're lucky enough to score reservations, definitely go! Oh! And don't forget the vanilla ice cream there is something crazy special. It might be gelato actually whatever it was made all of our heads spin absolutely crazy good. And if you are staying in Napili, it's an easy walk for us. It was like three minutes.

The pineapple, sweet & spicy aioli and the buns were so well complimenting each other. The fries were awesome and so tasty as well. The ambiance was beautiful right by the beach and very casual.

The poor bar tender could have been selling more food and drinks which is the name of the game for business; however no bar-back or even management engagement. The Mai Tai was good when finally received but I was frankly ready to cancel my order. Wife's chocolate coco peanut butter drink was a great dessert first drink but took forever to make.

IT WAS BEAUTIFUL outside with plentiful seating and a perfect view of the sunset on the beach. I ordered the fish and chips, my husband ordered the hot booty ruben, our friends ordered the ribs and chicken wings. For an appetizer, we got the nachos and man, did it hit the spot! You know how sometimes when you order nachos and they come out soggy? This didn't, it was nice and crunchy and after a beach day, it was just right with the beans, pico, jalapenos, and sour cream. The fish and chips were delicious- the fish was nicely battered with a THICK chunk of fish, not skimpy at all and the ribs were nice and juicy and fell off the bones!! Our favorite was the hot booty ruben sandwich- full of flavor, juicy meat along with the tartness of the sauerkraut! Our least favorite were the chicken wings, it wasn't as juicy as we hoped it was going to be but it was a chunky and at least got us the protein we needed. All in all, we are going to come back again. We all agreed that this was a winner. PS, try their house made Maui mules!! All of us tried it and it was so refreshing, especially with the candied ginger on top! Not only did we come here once, we came back again another night to try other foods!

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.
