We went to Ohana last August for our honeymoon.
Even though we had many signature dining plans as well, this was one of the meals I was looking forward to the most.
I loved the atmosphere. We sat at the window with a beautiful view of the castle. We also had a decent view of Wishes.
The food...a bit disappointing. I could not BELIEVE the amount of food they brought out for only 2 people. Such a waste.
The best parts about the meal were: the bread, the salad, the noodles, the wings, the dessert, our (busboy/helper?) Cousin Cliff...he was amazing!
The worst parts about the meal were: our main server, the meat, the broccoli.
DH is a HUGE meat guy and I was very excited for him to eat here because of...well...all the meat! We were gravely disappointed. The shrimp were so over-cooked we could hardly peel them, the steak was very well done (we like our med-rare), and the other meat was just a bit dry.
I would go back again to give it another shot, but it will take some convincing to get DH back. Don't get me wrong...we didn't hate it. It's just we are blossoming foodies ourselves, and there are much better choices if you are going for food and food alone. If your BIL is a food "snob" then you may want to opt for something else...perhaps one of the signatures?
However, everything is worth a shot once. Everyone has a different opinion and I know some think Ohana is the best dinner on property. The best thing to do is try for yourself and see what you think. Just prepare your bro ahead of time so no one is disappointed.
Have fun!!
