    My word, how does one describe an iconic episode like Tea on the Veranda? Let me say this: when we come to O'ahu, we have tea at Moana Surfrider. Period. Again and again and again. My wife has taken me to many teas at many places: this is the only one where I come back again and again and again - let her go to the others with her girlfriends, but this tea (at the Veranda) knows how to make a fella feel happy to be along for the ride. (Pro tip for the "regular" guys: get The Duke. You won't regret it.)

    This is the 3rd time I've had Afternoon Tea at Moana Surfrider and it was wonderful! The sandwiches and the desserts were tasty and beautifully presented - definitely IG worthy! I definitely recommend the Veranda - Moana Surfrider's Afternoon Tea for having some needed girl time to catch up on life!

    Came here for the first time for their special Queen’s Tea event! Because of this event, I plan to come here more often!! The event encouraged guests to come in a mu’umu’u and it was such a cute idea, I loved seeing everyone dressed up. I really hope this becomes an annual thing for the Queen’s birthday so I can invite more friends and my sweet little one! Mahalo for having yummy food, DELICIOUS tea and amazing service.

    If you plan to sit outside on the lanai, you need to book early and specify an outdoor request. High tea is a lovely experience indoors or out. I would highly recommend outdoors.

    Great place for an Afternoon Tea we have both the Classic Afternoon Tea and the First Lady Afternoon Teas over the last 3 days - The service and ambience is excellent. We first did afternoon tea at Moana Surfrider 12 years ago and this is first time back, but it has not slipped a stitch. In fact as good as I remembered.

    My friend and I had a wonderful tea experience at The Veranda. We were welcomed by friendly staff and all throughout their service was efficient and remarkable. The food choices were filling and delicious. The tea and drink choices were all too good that we tried almost all the flavors. We saw other groups of women all dressed up for this fancy gathering. Overall, I will recommend doing this with your girlfriends to have good conversation paired with great food, drinks, ambiance, and overall, a royalty experience.
