Aki, is our favorite server there. She goes above and beyond to make your afternoon tea special. The ambiance can't be beat. The banyan tree is a lovely canopy and the sparkling blue water of the ocean is lovely to gaze at. If you enjoy people watching this is the place for you. If you enjoy classical architecture you won't be disappointed. The assortment of tasty finger foods is wonderful. My favorite tea is the creamy coconut. It's like eating a piece of fresh coconut. Perfect place to relax, enjoy the company of others and have delicious treats to savour.

                                                                If you’re hungry get the Burger and a side of lobster chowder I think the higher price option $137.00 are overrated best just to order the burger and and side of the lobster chowder. Best chowder I’ve ever had, better than New England, ny, sf, Seattle…. Or anywhere else. Burger is up there. Taken the wife here because she’s really into this tea time thing. She’s not impressed, she mentioned why only 1 tea choice? Should be able to try all 4, maybe serve smaller portions. Parking? I messed up and ended up paying 22.50. Supposedly there’s a parking area that can be validated but I didn’t see it. The nearest bathroom was temporary close the whole time we were there. The whole staff are so awesome.

The Veranda is a beautiful setting amongst a bustling Waikiki Beach where you can feel relaxed and enjoy the company of your family. The service is very good while the sandwiches, scones and pastries are delicious. It’s definitely a splurge but it’s always good to treat yourself to something nice.
