Veranda at the Beachhouse

I recommend dining at Veranda at Moana Surfrider if you want to enjoy a great view of Waikiki while having a good meal. They offer brunch on weekends and Afternoon Tea on weekend afternoons. In the evening, you can enjoy live music at the Beach Bar while sipping a drink to the sound of the Waikiki waves. And their Poke Nachos are absolutely amazing.

We visited early with the 6am crowd since we are normally on East Coast time. The service we received on the outside patio was impeccable. Jerry and Scott were all stars. We chose the breakfast buffet, which included made to order pancakes, waffles, and omelets. 1. Blueberry orange granola pancakes - these were very tasty. (5/5 🌟) 2. Mochiko waffles - I really enjoyed these. The crisp texture on the outside with the fluffy middle was perfect. (5/5 🌟) 3. Overall, the buffet had quality items with local favorites. The juice bar was great with a variety of fresh juices to choose from. The atmosphere and view were unbeatable.

The Moana Surfrider is the best place for afternoon tea. The setting on the veranda, overlooking the beach, is so beautiful. Service is always accommodating, though occasionally slow to check up on you. But each time I’ve gone to celebrate a birthday, they’d been generous with treats. I love that there are many options for teas, including sets specifically for keiki, those with dietary restrictions, or if you want a burger to go along with your dainty desserts. The “Duke” set, which comes with a burger, fries, and onion rings in place of savory sandwiches, is only a few dollars more than the regular afternoon tea set, so I feel this is a great deal for those who may be hungrier. The burger itself is a great size, and comes with pipikaula, and I always end up eating only half. Most recently when I dined, they gave me extras of each sweet! I was so delighted. Flavors of the sweets do change, but menu typically includes a macaron, cream puff, tart, and a roll cake. Every sweet I’d tried was so good. This place offers Kamaaina discount. They also offer free valet when dining. This is pricey, but well worth the food, service, and ambience.

I shouldn't have to be the one informing the waiter that there is a dead bird on the floor. Did they not clean the place before seating us? Also staff was no help with the birds that kept flying through the door within the room. Me and another guest from another table had to try to push the bird out I wasn't seated even on the patio. Unlike other afternoon teas I have been to, this one doesn't refill the tea leaves just more water and only one choice of tea. Service wasn't attentive. There was 20 minutes where I didnt see a server and was ready to pay the bill. They seem to be understaffed The afternoon tea filled me up. The macarons didn't have much "legs" to them so didn't feel like they were done correctly. The sesame flavor was interesting. The guava sorbet was a nice touch. Nothing stood out flavor wise. I thought the croissant was a bit dry and old. The eclair tasted like a frozen cream puff from the grocery store that has sat too long.

We decided to come here for breakfast buffet. From 6 am to 10 am, Price: $48 for adults and $22 for children (12 and under). If you are local (Kamaʻāina) you can get a 15% discount. The view is amazing, the service is excellent. I expected more food selection, but overall not bad. When you arrive, you give the car to the valet and he parks the car for you, it’s very convenient, a maximum of 4 hours for free.

Veranda Afternoon Tea!! My friends and I were here for afternoon tea on Sunday and we loved it. They provided variety of the tea menus and we got the royal set for all of us. Everything was so good especially the local tea that you can only get here in Hawaii and nowhere else! And Ryan was taking care of us the whole time, very attentive and knowledgeable about food and drink here. Thumbs up!

Service is definitely on point. Food was good. We got the Royal Tea Package. Really enjoyed the lobster chowder and Caesar was refreshing. The teas are a nice quality tea. We did the Earl Grey and Darjeeling, both are full of flavor. One mistep, I don't know why they use the metal tea pots, you can taste it in the tea. Porcelain or glass is the way to go. Outside beautiful view, but I think some fans or some misters are needed for the no breeze days.

Are you the one who loves tea and enjoys scones and small sandwiches? If you are traveling to Hawaii then this is the tea spot for you. You have 3 choices to select and a variety of teas to select. The atmosphere is beautiful as its right by the beach with oceanfront view. They have great customer service and you can take home what you don't enjoy there. The teas are from natural tea leaves. The pineapple sorbet is delicious. This is located in a Marriott hotel for Marriott Elite members with families. Nice for Mother and daughter tea moments or those who enjoy tea moments the English way. ENJOY!
