Merriman's Honolulu is a live-music option for working musicians. Farm-to-table Ward Village restaurant with live music every evening and occasional brunch musicians. The programming gives performers a useful picture of how music fits the room and what kind of show the venue supports. The music mix includes Hawaiian; acoustic; jazz; singer-songwriter; local; mixed. Capacity is 50 standing; 36 seated. Artists considering a date here should compare instrumentation, stage footprint, volume, and audience expectations with the venue's established format. The strongest match will be acts that can work comfortably within the room's live-music pattern. That established activity gives artists a practical basis for comparing the room with other active local venues. A focused, professional set that suits the room's scale and audience should make the strongest impression. For routing and show planning, its recurring or current use for live performers makes it a practical lead. Musicians should tailor the set and presentation to the audience setting and confirm event-specific logistics before committing to a date.

Venue review
The musician's read
Chart House Waikiki is a long-running Honolulu restaurant and lounge with recurring live music built into its regular calendar. The programming includes local soloists, duos, and ensembles, with styles spanning Hawaiian, acoustic, pop, jazz, and other local music. For musicians, the room appears best suited to polished, lower-footprint performances that complement dinner and lounge service rather than a high-volume club show. The venue is considered a limited full-band fit, so acts should think in terms of arrangements that work comfortably in a restaurant and lounge environment. Current programming shows live-music dates recurring across the year, giving the venue the profile of an ongoing entertainment room rather than an occasional special-event space. Chart House Waikiki is located at 1765 Ala Moana Boulevard in Honolulu, convenient to the Waikiki and marina area. No reliable live-music audience capacity, payment terms, age restriction, or in-house sound and production specifications are documented in the sheet, so musicians should confirm those details directly before planning a performance.
