Perfect afternoon on Waikiki. If you’re wondering if it’s worth it, it is. The food was enough to fill us up all afternoon and gosh the atmosphere was just perfect. We did the basic tea set but added the flight of tea infused mimosas and I have to say that was the perfect way to do it. The service was lovely and perfectly timed so we didn’t feel rushed for a moment. Overall, it was a wonderful experience for two dear friends catching up.

We enjoyed our stay but were disappointed to be charged $23 for a mocktail that was suppose to REPLACE the alcoholic drink that was included in the pre fix set due to me being pregnant. I have never experienced such an expensive mocktail nor was I ever upcharged by downgrading an alcoholic drink to a nonalcoholic drink. Very disappointing.

Amazing experience. Tea @ the Moana is a must do every time we are in Waikiki. The tea service is wonderful, and array of sandwiches, scones and desserts is fantastic. The perfect weather was further enhanced by the live music - the singer was fantastic. To top it all off, the service provided by Aki was exceptional. We were thrilled that she remembered us from our visit last year.

The service and atmosphere was fabulous. However, the food served with the afternoon tea was subpar in comparison to much less expensive afternoon teas. And to previous teas had at the beach house in the past. I am never opposed to paying for good quality. This meal was far from satisfying.

Everything about the tea was excellent. Our table near the beach, the server and the food. We each ordered the First Lady and enjoyed every course. We especially like that you can ask to swap some items for others to better suit your taste. This was our second time having the Tea and we will continue to come back.

We have had high tea in other countries which were former British colonies. The quality of the high tea even in some of the old colonial asian countries is 100 times better than what this overpriced experience provides. Save your 100$/person and spend it elsewhere ! Food quality and variety were poor. The service was good.
