    母とのハワイ旅行でアフタヌーンティーを楽しみました。白を基調としたクラシカルな空間で、海を感じながら過ごすひとときは本当に贅沢でした。スイーツや紅茶はもちろん、何よりスタッフの細やかな心配りに感動。暑さを気にしていたらすぐにテーブルを動かしてくださり、居心地の良さが一層深まりました。心に残る優雅な午後となりました。

    We enjoyed our high tea experience in Veranda. The amount of food was great and the sandwiches and sweets were a nice variety. Their signature lobster croissant and tuna were amazing! The signature coffee cake dessert was just perfect! I have been in other high tea experiences in other countries. In comparison this high tea was not at that standard level. The variety of tea was limited. The pots were metal which affects the taste of tea and the servers were not pouring & preparing tea like a high tea experience (Just for the fun of it as they chat about tea and brewing process). I think overall is was very nice but don’t expect the full high tea experience.

    海に近いお席で、景色を楽しみながら、食事を楽しむことができました。 チップが少し揚げすぎで、塩辛かったです。

    Our dish ware was dirty and there was a giant stain on the table cloth. Only 2 plate settings were set but we had 3 people in our party. It took about 10 minutes for the third plate setting to come although there were 2 more at another table that didn’t get used the entire time we were there. There was also a hair on our dessert. Besides that our vegetarian selection was delicious. I definitely expected a better quality tea time for $80 a person probably won’t be returning.
