- AAnneHawaii •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoMy grown daughters and I started a new tradition of having tea at Moana Surfrider every Christmas season. The food, service and ambiance is fantastic and it’s such a nice way to reconnect during the busy season with just us girls!More infoVeranda - Moana SurfriderPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Waikiki•4.8
- LLibbyHawaii •3 reviews4.0Dined 4 days agoThe food was great but the service was lacking. There were so many servers and we waited for what felt like 10 min in a very empty dining room to have our order taken. Having run restaurants, this type of lack of server training is the first nail in the coffin. If you don’t extend great care to the customer, they will gladly return the favor with their lack of patronage.More infoShorefyre International MarketplacePrice: Moderate• American• Honolulu•3.9
