Reviews for The Veranda in Honolulu, HI
I'm very elevated experience. The live piano is wonderful. Staff is friendly, but I'll be honest it's beautiful and comfortable.... There's a nice dance floor where we boogie down. This is the location I fell in love with my wife. Special place in my heart tovisit with my children too. If you ever have the opportunity to visit this place, I highly recommend that you do.

Friday nights at the veranda are my favorite. With awesome local musicians, and good food, don’t forget to save room for... dessert because they have the best. But make sure to make reservations for they are always booked and not able to accommodate. Read more
Our world food tour continued … at The Veranda at The Kahala Resort. I come here when I’m staying in the hotel and want a... light meal and music. This time it was a pre-Valentine’s dinner with my fellow foodie and we wanted to hear live music. Weopted for seating outside and chose a table quite a way down from the entrance. This proved to be the nice, quiet spot we wantedbut the music was background level at best. We started with a bottle of 2018 Stag’s Leap Hands of Time, a red blend fromNapa. Dark, with a sense of prunes and raisins, it needed some time to open up. Accompanying the wine was the Charcuterieplatter, a nice mix of cheeses, sliced meats and fruit with crackers and small squares of lavosh. We ordered the Foie GrasMusubi, Crispy Brussels Sprouts and the Hawaiian Mushroom Flat bread with truffles. Service was leisurely (which was fine withus) but it took a long time for the flat bread to appear, I can’t say exactly, but it felt like an hour after the first disharrived. The foie gras musubi was great, a little crunchy on the exterior, offset by the creamy foie gras … We always orderanything with foie gras or truffles. The brussels sprouts were large and firm, with just the right amount of char; they wereflavorful without losing the slight bitterness of cabbage. The flat bread was round like a pizza and I considered it to be awhite mushroom pizza with a generous layer of black truffle; the scent of the shaved truffle was intoxicating and the tastematched the aroma; heavenly. We ended our meal with the Hoku’s Warm Chocolate Coulant and the Pineapple Upside Down Cake.Each was served with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream. Unfortunately, these desserts didn’t live up to the rest of the meal.The pineapple cake was fine but not special; the warm chocolate coolant wasn’t warm and appeared dry. What did we think? Thefood and drink were fine with a few exceptions (dessert); service was very good though our server (Cenisaliza) seemed to havetoo m Read more
This place was amazing. Everything in this hotel has been excellent from the food to the level of service. Kim and Cenisaliza (I... hope I spelled your name right) were incredible! They made it such a wonderful experience. And the food was super oishi. We lovethis hotel, we are just so pleasantly surprised how lovely everyone is. We'll definitely be back. I also wanted to point out forthose that mentioned it was expensive, this is a 5 star hotel and therefore the quality service, food and price point completelyreflect that. Read more
Gorgeous view. Nice resort. Dinner selection is terrible. Only 3 entrees and some very overpriced appetizers with fancy names... (cheese and crackers, flatbread maybe, more cheap apps overpriced). It was a one time visit. Read more
Afternoon Tea time at no better place in Hawaii. Sit in the cool shade and watch the dolphins and people watch the pool. The... 3 tiers of delight is heavenly and matches well with the delicious tea. I love to visit this property located in the KahalaHotel at the end past Diamond Head. Read more
Truly a top notch dining experience. Scrumptious food, stunning environment, and excellent service. Visiting from Canada, and... dining here was a refreshing experience. Thank you. Read more
Excellent tea service any day of the week? Sadly. They don't have the guava cake anymore. The sandwiches are really good. They... now have a tea cart and you can no longer dine outside on the lanai. The food is good and the service is amazing but the procedoubled! You prepay 80 dollars for tea. They also have clotted cream and lemon liliokoi butter and also a pineapple ???? butterto go on the scones. The white tea selections have diminished. You don't have as many options as they used to have but it'sstill good but very limited in choices. Attached is the new menu. Parking is validated and free 4 hours and if self parking.Valet parking is available but you should tip. This is also free parking 4 hours for valet. Read more
