    This restaurant was amazing and the sunset was glorious. We had excellent service and the food was delicious as well. We would definitely go back. It is expensive and it is not large portions but the ambience and live music and good service is worth the expense.

    We had a 5-star experience at Meredia! We were celebrating both Valentine’s Day and our wedding anniversary. Amazing view of the sunset made for the perfect romantic backdrop. Indiana was our server and her upbeat personality definitely delivered the aloha. We followed her food recommendations, which were tailored to our gluten-free dietary needs, and enjoyed a wonderful meal featuring scallops for my wife and paella for me. Afterwards we shared an absolutely fantastic cheesecake for dessert. Five stars across the board- highly recommended!

    Join an absolutely amazing location with equally amazing food, and it makes for a romantic evening celebrating our anniversary. The $110/pp prix fixe Pacific Rim menu alternative offered an amazing bread basket, a garden salad and mango ceviche for appetizers, and a kampachi/Kona shrimp duo and a wonderful Ono fresh catch for our main courses. Finally a lillikoi parfait and chocolate decadence dessert completed the evening. Elizer provided wonderful service with friendly conversation about his family. Thanks again to KCP for a wonderful anniversary experience.

    Meal was outstanding from start to finish! The tomato appetizer was unbelievably good. Ahi as usual was outstanding and the Duo and my scallops and shrimp wow! The show stopper was the mushroom soufflé - so so good and bread used with the sauce crazy yummy. Apologize I don’t remember our servers name but her enthusiasm and spot on meal suggestions was so perfect. We’ve eaten at Merrimans for years, but every time we are there in Waimea it’s perfect t in every way!
