I have been here several times over the past year for "high tea." It is always amazing, from the food & service to the beautiful ocean and courtyard views. We celebrated our anniversary with friend from out of state and everything was wonderful. We all chose the Moana Classic Tea with finger sandwiches, sweet offerings, tropical sorbet and tea (we each chose a different flavor). A few of my favorites (this time) were the Ratatouille Tart and the Smoked Salmon Mousse Blini, but I really enjoyed them all.Our friend has a food allergy and our server was very accommodating. He made other suggestions to some of the sandwiches and all of the "exchanges" were fabulous. Each time we have been, the menu has changed, although most of the tea's are the same flavors (only 2 or 3 have changed). The quality of the food is the same (5 stars)
I would definitely suggest Moana Surfer Rider - The Veranda at the Beachhouse for all of your special occasions.

Very extensive menu, it was fun to see so many different items. The dishes we chose were ordered to share. The Dragon roll was delicious and the presentation was “fun” with the fried shrimp tempura and Avo, Unagi, Ebi, Masago, and cucumber. They take reservations or if you rather stay home (hotel) they have a great “Take Out menu”. You will not be disappointed.

This is a true “local gem”! I ordered the salmon belly plate with the ahi poke. The quality is amazing! The belly is cooked perfectly: juicy with a perfect crispy outside and great flavor. The poke is also superb. I ordered a poke bowl and a sashimi plate with Ahi, Salmon, and Tako. Melts in your mouth. I highly recommend this place to visitors and locals.
