    Since I have been visiting the Kahala for 46 years I can say the food offerings at The Veranda are tired! You need a new menu appropriate for a bar please!

    I’m afraid this may have been a technology issue, but when we got to the Veranda, they didn’t have a table available for us for another 15 to 20 minutes, despite having our reservation. The restaurant was in fact full, however, Opentable showed it as wide open at the time. The hostess found a spot for us in a corner of the patio, but unfortunately no one came to serve us for 20 minutes and we decided to leave.
