Best Historic Restaurants in Kaimuki

Dinner was great! Food was delicious and portion sizes were perfect. My husband had the french toast, kids split buttered noodles, and I had the mahi mahi. The pina colada was excellent. Restaurant is cozy, open air, and had good vibes!

First, thank you to restaurant manager Kala and server Daniel at the Moana Surfrider Hotel Veranda Restaurant. My requests were acknowledged and did their best to accommodated to the best of their ability. The cuisine were prepared, presented and executed professionally.

Our overall experience was great. After being sat, it took our waiter a while to introduce himself and ask if we wanted any drinks. Our water and drinks came after but again, it took a while till another waiter came to take our food order. A menu item was not available so I asked him if we can have a minute to rethink our order. This wouldn’t have been an issue if the first waiter had told what was their specials and what was not available. Meanwhile, the table next to us who were seated after us were greeted, taken drink order, and appetizer order within a matter of minutes. Thankfully, our server, Alfred, noticed we’ve been waiting and took care of our food order and continued to be our waiter and server till the end. Thank you Alfred.

By far the best dinner of our trip! We dined out every night for five nights, and this experience was unmatched. The staff and our waiter went above and beyond with thoughtful recommendations and small surprises that made us feel truly appreciated. The atmosphere was just as remarkable—we booked our reservation to catch the sunset, and it was timed perfectly, adding to the experience. From the exceptional food to the outstanding service and even our stay at the SurfRider, every detail was simply perfect. I highly recommend this wonderful place to anyone.

Amazing food, amazing service. Always happy when we dine at Fete. We split two of the entree specials and could barely believe how good they were. Thank you to everyone at this fine, fine restaurant!
