Googling around brought up a very helpful blog (honolulueats.wordpress) comparing the Kahala and Halekulani (i commented there too). The last time I had Afternoon Tea at the Surfrider, the service and food was just ok. I love the setting and the ambiance, but they gave us teabags and the scones were not fresh. I really like the food and service at the Kahala, but i want to stick to Waikiki this time. Has the Surfrider improved? Is Halekulani the better bet? TIA for your kind replies -T Wed Jun 24 16:39:34 -0700 2009 85377 TanQ10 1 4807268 We have only been to the Halekulani. I cannot compare with other Honolulu hotels/restaurants. It was good, but did pale to others on the Mainland and in the UK. For Waikiki, I'd go with the Halekulani. Aloha, Hunt Thu Jun 25 20:43:23 -0700 2009 4803368 11329 Bill Hunt
