I was here for the Afternoon Tea. What a treat for a gluten free woman! It’s really special when a restaurant takes the time to compose both a GF option and vegan option that are as appealing as the standard menu. I loved it. Excellent knowledgeable service and an unbeatable environment and view. Yeah, it’s a splurge but if you like to occasionally treat yourself, I’d go here.

I was overjoyed during my vacation to Hawaii to have been able to visit the veranda for high tea. I am a tea connoisseur, and I tried to visit T rooms when I am in those locations. I really enjoyed the ambience, the food selection, the loose tea selection And of course the service. I definitely will make this a stop for me when in Hawaii Mahalo.

アフタヌーンティーの案内があり、スマホでQRコードを読み込んで、日時や人数など簡単入力で予約ができて便利でした。日本語にも対応していて助かりました。日本語のメニューや4種類ほどの茶葉を実際に見せてくださり、とても親切でした。海辺のテーブル席を準備していただき、憧れだったモアナラーフサイダーさんでのアフタヌーンティーを家族で過ごせました。お料理も一品一品丁寧な説明をしてくださり、とても美味しかったです。メネフネのお土産は娘も大喜びで私も嬉しくなりました。また伺いたいです。
