If you’re looking to treat yourself, these savory dishes are worth the splurge.

Merriman’s Honolulu

Merriman’s Honolulu is known for its Hawaii regional cuisine with an emphasis on local farmers and growers.

If you’re dining at the restaurant for dinner, the lobster “pot pie” ($69) is a must- try dish. Inquire about it early, since this entrée has limited availability. It features scallops, Small Kine Farms mushrooms and vermouth in a puff pastry crust. The dish is pricy, but can be shared among 2-3 people because of its size and rich flavor.
