About our Kauai Restaurant

In a casual yet elegant setting inspired by Hawaii’s plantation era, Merriman’s Poipu brings Chef Peter Merriman’s pioneering vision of Hawaii Regional Cuisine to the South Shore of Kauai.

Located at The Shops at Kukuiʻula, the restaurant reflects a deep commitment to local farmers, ranchers, and fishermen, featuring island-grown and sustainably sourced ingredients whenever possible.

Many members of the Poipu team were born and raised on Kauai, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels more like dining in a local home than a traditional fine-dining restaurant. Guests often remark on the genuine hospitality, relaxed elegance, and strong sense of place that define the Merriman’s experience on Kauai.

Dress Code

Resort Casual (shorts & short-sleeved collared shirts are acceptable).
