    I’ve made this reservation to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday at 5:15 PM in order to see the sunset in the ocean. We’ve been a little bit late for the reservation, but two ladies worked at Hau Tree were very nice and helpful. We were sitting in the Oceanside view for the dinner. The sunset in front of Hau Tree was so beautiful and amazing. Jordan was our server who was so kind and helpful. We ordered crispy Spanish octopus, pawn pasta and local fish. Food was amazing and so delicious. They gave us a little desert as a birthday surprise! Excellent food, beautiful ocean view and great customer service from Hau Tree! Recommend to everyone! It is a must try in Honolulu!

    I have never been disappointed when dining at Merriman’s. I was with a friend who has strict dietary restrictions; the chef personally met with him and made his day even brighter. Merriman’s is first class all the way.

    Our server was excellent and the food was amazing. Was there for lunch with a large party. We started off with a chicken caesar salad and shrimp avocado salad. The chicken was moist and shrimp were perfectly seasoned. Most of us got the petite filet mignon. It was cooked perfectly, med rare, and was so soft. I had the garlic mash as a side, it had slivered garlic mixed in (super good) and the creamed spinach. A few others had the pesto pasta which they said was really good. Over all experience was great I definitely recommend trying them out.
