Hubby and I celebrated our wedding anniversary there and it was perfect :) We did the tea time set and the food was delicious (wish it was a little bit more for the price) with an Hawaiian flavor. Great view of the ocean, breeze-y, and our waiter (Daniel) served us toasting champagne for our special occasion <3 Thank you for a memorable experience!

A traditional tea with a dash of Hawaiian flavor I appreciate. The staff were friendly and attentive. The view was gorgeous. This is the third year I came to their tea and nowhere else is as consistent in taste and quality. An excellent value. I’ve been to other teas far more expensive but the Veranda’s tea was far superior for much less. I recommend this tea to anyone going to Hawaii!

Went above and beyond to make sure our group was well taken care of and made our friends' 40th anniversary an extra special memory with their thoughtful remarks, and we'll wishes. Just an exceptional organization and a remarkable place for special events

I’ve been here several times and it’s always so amazing. Top notch food and ambiance. The hospitality from the wonderful hosts can’t be matched. This visit I had the privilege to have Kala, Kaha’i and Alex host us. They’re amazing. Almost every time I visit I’ve had the absolute pleasure to be received by Kala. She is an absolute joy. A true asset to the Moana Surf Rider. Mahalo!
