Pioneered by award-winning Chef Peter Merriman, who maintains a single vision "Do the right thing"—for local farmers, for the islands and you—our guest. At Merriman's Big Island, you'll enjoy a menu of fresh island flavors, an extensive wine list and cozy upcountry dining with warm Hawaiian hospitality. Merriman's is driven by our long-standing commitment to Hawaii Regional Cuisine. We support local farmers, ranchers and the local economy while offering fresh, authentic cuisine at its peak flavor.

Located within the heart of the large Islands farm community is Peter Merriman's original restaurant, Merriman's Waimea. Chef/Owner Peter Merriman is one of the founders of Hawaii Regional Cuisine and uses 90% or more of local produce, fish, and beef. All dishes are handcrafted to spotlight the natural flavors of every menu item. In addition, our award-winning wine list has selections for all to enjoy. Merriman's knowledgeable and friendly staff will guide you through a culinary experience you'll not soon forget. We glance forward to serving you!

The inside seating of the Hale' Aina Awards winner may be closed, but the spacious lānai has been revamped for a deliciously grill-centric pop-up restaurant—which pairs perfectly with a Hawai'i summer of social distancing.
