Merriman’s Honolulu
Kakaʻako, Honolulu, Hawaii, United States — 1108 Auahi Street, Suite 170, Honolulu, HI 96814
Merriman’s Honolulu is the Oʻahu branch of Peter Merriman’s long-running Hawaiʻi Regional Cuisine group, trading from 1108 Auahi Street in Ward Village, near Kakaʻako and across from Whole Foods. The official Honolulu page confirms indoor and outdoor dining, reservations with some walk-in tables retained, and free self-parking in Ward Village garages, which makes it a practical choice as well as a recognisable one. Official venue information also places it on the ground floor of the Anaha tower, helping fix the branch clearly within Urban Honolulu rather than elsewhere on Oʻahu. What earns it a place in this ranking is how neatly it represents polished Kakaʻako dining without relying on resort scenery. Merriman’s presents itself as part of the Hawaiʻi Regional Cuisine tradition, with a menu built around island produce, seafood and meat from local suppliers rather than a generic steakhouse format. For visitors, that translates into a meal that feels tied to Honolulu’s contemporary food identity and to the wider local ingredients movement that helped shape dining in the islands. Access is straightforward public restaurant access. As of the reviewed date, the official site shows daily service from 11.00 am to 9.00 pm, weekend brunch, and happy hour, but hours and booking availability should still be checked before setting out.
