It is kind of life changing, isn't it? I like to eat there about every other visit. My goal is always to NOT fill up on the appetizers, but they're just so freakin' good that by the time I get to the bbq chicken wings I'm really starting to stuff out - and that's BEFORE they start bringing out the skewers of meat & shrimp! TOTALLY YUMMY PLACE TO EAT!!!!

Ohhhhh, I can't wait to try it myself. I booked dinner for me and DH for our anniversary (kids will go to the Neverland Club that night). I'm glad that you enjoyed it :-)

I am in the minority on this place - I didn't like it at all!! The meats were all tough and dry - blech. Dessert was awesome though!
I will be there in F_O_U_R days!

Why do people go on The Amazing Race without bothering to learn how to drive a stick shift?
I was expecting to NOT like it, but I really enjoyed it. Probably partly because I was with over 20 friends which adds to the excitement and fun, but I was shocked (and embarrassed) by the amount of food. Almost obscene. All of it was very good. I did eat extra salad of all things. EXCELLENT dressing!
Working hard for that next WDW trip!
Rule #1 - never let them make you feel rushed. Just dont let it happen regardless of where you go. Not trying to sound rude, but while I promise I will not sit there and take 3 hrs to eat, they will not try to get me in and out of a place like that in less than an hour or so. (PS- Personally - this place has always been one of the best places to have an arrival dinner.)
Oh wow - I just had a tastebud flashback. That dressing was fab! Really - this is a place I would love to go to again soon - like in July. (Gotta tell the Mrs - the queen of all ADR's.)

My whole family absolutely hates bananas!
So when they brought out the dessert we all just took a tiny bite....and then after that...the forks were flying and it was each person for him/herself!
Yummy!
That place is awesome. I have actually made the salad dressing, twice. Yummy!
One of the first things I did after I booked our short trip to WDW was book Ohana for our first night, it's a tradition. So imagine my dismay when my daughter said "I don't really like Ohana"....what? My son and I love it and just assumed that she did too. So I had to cancel and booked Boma instead since we're all paying our own way on this trip (a first for me, woohoo!)
I'm still going to Tambu Lounge on our first night and watching fireworks on the beach....I can't wait.

As I've mentioned elsewhere, they used to have a totally simple dessert - fresh pineapple slices with a warm caramel dipping sauce. Sounds kinda lame at first, but after a meat-heavy meal it was such a light and wonderful and incredibly tasty combination! But then like Disney does with success, they had to go and mess with it. The bananas thing is good, but it ain't nothing like that pineapple and caramel!

They actually did have it by request for awhile, but the pineapple was from a can, not the totally fresh slices. Still, pretty good. I've heard that they don't even have it by request any more, but you can always ask.

I really, really hope it was just my surly waiter, and not a new policy, but when I asked for pineapple for just my picky 3-yr-old (we were a large group of adults, and my boy), the waiter refused unless I wanted to be charged $5.99 for the serving. I was very disappointed, because the poor child ate almost nothing that night (I never thought to ask for a kid's menu, and it wasn't offered) and I knew he'd pig out on pineapple, but I bought him a pretzel later instead.
I recommend you try asking for it anyway, and let us know what the results are.

Gusman, that's a great idea. I'm going to try get a reservation at O'hana for Helena and I on our check-in evening in December. I've always wanted to dine there, but don't like taking time away from the parks for off-site meals. Thanks for the suggestion.GusMan: (PS- Personally - this place has always been one of the best places to have an arrival dinner.)

Not that it matters, but I'm perfectly happy with my Coral Reef reservation on my arrival day THIS THURSDAY (not that I'm counting or anything . . .).

This Thursday! Have a great time! Can't wait to hear all about it!
I hope you realize that it's more of a family restaurant, than a quiet romantic spot. There will be lots of little kids there, and they even have games and dancing going on during the meal, mostly to keep kids occupied. We have been there several times with our kids, and there were mostly families with kids there. The food is great, and we really enjoy it, but, personally, I would not consider it a date night kind of place. If you want a romantic adults-only meal, I would suggest the California Grill (at the Contemporary); Artists Point (at the Wilderness Lodge); or Jiko (at the Animal Kingdom Lodge). The Contemporary does not have a kids' club, but the other Deluxe hotels do, and it's easy to drop your kids off at the same hotel where you plan to have a quiet dinner.
Thanks - we do realize that as we have a character breakfast planned there for the kids as well. My DH and I really wanted to try it for dinner though, but my kids are picky eaters and there is nothing on the menu that they would like there. It not so much of a "romantic date night" as it is a dinner without the kids complaining that they don't like the food (or us paying for them to be there but them not eating anything, LOL). We just picked our anniversary night as a reason to be "selfish" for one night, LOL.
So we will get a drink before dinner, enjoy the atmosphere and food at the restaurant (at our leisure) then take a walk along the beach before picking up the kids. Thanks for the head's up though. Had we been expecting something different, I can see how we could have been very disappointed.
