Visiting the island on vacation. I always go to The Kahala or Moana Surfrider for Afternoon Tea. Absolutely loved the offerings and service at this location. The view was incredible. Carlos, my waiter, made the experience wonderful!!! He’s a true asset to your restaurant.

I grew up enjoying this with my beautiful Mom (who has since passed away), and it was such a delight to be able to share this with my daughter. Everything was delicious! Absolute perfection!
