Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Kaka'ako

Beautiful atmosphere and pleasant services. Quite an enjoyable way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Always the best service food and everything about this place.

I have eaten at a lot of high-end restaurants all around the globe and this is by far the most amazing place and high quality experience I have ever had! It was my last night in Hawaii and the general manager made sure that it was a special experience by bringing us up to the venue's rooftop to see the sunset prior to our dinner experience. Our server was so knowledgeable and his recommendations were so complimentary to the menu. The wine pairings were insane and such an amazing compliment to the food. My son had an amazing experience trying foods and wines that he would never have. We already have plans to come back to Hawaii and this restaurant will certainly be on the agenda! This restaurant was everything that we were looking for and more!!!

Cons: First staff member (male) to approach our table silently filled our water; no greeting, no invitation to make our way to the buffet. Buffet didn’t have eggs and bacon very undercooked. Coffee was self serve and ran out, making us wait for more to brew. Crab would run out and we’d have to keep checking the line for refill. Saw a guest cutting the prime rib for himself because no one there to serve. Pros: The rest of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Obviously understaffed and they were doing their best. Fun to speak with the pastry chef, who was encouraging guests to try the stolli, which was delicious. All the desserts and crab was very good. In spite of the shortcomings, we enjoyed our time there.

Lovely setting and generous tea service. I have been enjoying tea here for over 30 years. There are 3-4 doors along the mauka side of the room that open to the hotel’s interior green space, which brings in a breeze and heightens the feel of luxury dining.
