Located on the third floor of the Kealohilani Tower at this Honolulu hotel, poolside dining at Moana Terrace reflects a new menu by Executive Chef Miles Togikawa with local favorites including the Diamond Head Salad with Seared Ahi, Prime Rib French Dip with Grilled Maui Onions and Swiss Cheese, and Hawaiian BBQ Pulled Pork Sliders with Kalua Pork and Mango BBQ Sauce.
