    We spend 21 days every year in Maui. We eat out for dinner 18 nights We only go to Merriman's Kapalua and Monkeyod in Whalers Village - always EXCELLENT. We thought we would try Merriman's Ula @ The Westin for my 70 th Birthday. We requested a table outside up front during first seating at 5:45. Beautiful weather. What we got was: 1) The WORST TABLE IN THE RESTAURANT!!! Barely outside tucked WAY IN THE BACK with limited view and Heavy Traffic. Just Awful!!! 2) The oysters were the SMALLEST I HAVE EVER been served. 3 of the five were smaller than a dime and the 2 others slightly larger than a dime. $ 31 and only one topping - a very oniony sauce. 3) Food was just ok - my filet and lobster ravioli were ice cold 🥶 4) Server was average - just kind of 'phoning it in' Overall, maybe the worst $ 400 dinner for 3 I've ever had. 5) I understand everyone has an off night but I stoped there before and showed them the sections where we would like to sit. They said NO PROBLEM as we would be in the First Seating. Instead, was given the WORST TABLE IN THE HOUSE. Very Poor Experience.

    Husband had the surf and turf and I had the mahi mahi. Both were excellent! Our waiter Nick, was the bomb, so attentive, even though it was a very busy evening for him! We’ll definitely be back!
