Whether you're craving fish, pizza or burgers, merriman’s has you covered
Experience the casual, yet elegant setting of an old Hawai‘i plantation at Merriman’s Fish House in Po‘ipu. A pioneer in the farm-to-table concept, Chef/Owner Peter Merriman serves only the freshest ingredients, with at least 90 percent of the ingredients locally grown or caught, using sustainable methods. Merriman’s Fish House offers a locally sourced menu, showcasing fresh Kaua‘i line-caught fish and seafood, grass-fed meats and locally grown produce. The opulent restaurant offers indoor-outdoor seating, an extensive award winning wine list, ocean, mountain and sunset views and warm Hawaiian ambiance. The combination of quality food and distinctive atmosphere earned the restaurant the 2014 Hale Aina Award for Best Kaua‘i Restaurant. If you’re in the mood for something more casual, try Merriman’s Gourmet Pizza & Burgers, which offers local flavors in a family friendly setting. Located downstairs from Merriman’s Fish House, Merriman’s Gourmet Pizza & Burgers serves organic wheat crust pizzas, fresh fish sandwiches, a wide selection of artisan burgers and specialty salads, all made with fresh, locally grown and organic ingredients. The restaurant’s house-made culinary cocktails and sweet treats are not to be missed. Gluten free and vegan options are also available.
