I really enjoyed our meal in Kona this year, I had the steak as well and it was fab!!
That steak appears to be very popular! We went back a couple weeks ago and had the same thing and I have to say it wasn't just a one hit wonder. It was fabulous again.
We have been fans of Kona for years. We eat breakfast and dinner on most trips. I love walking around the Poly resort. Since there building a DVC there will be looking forward to staying there in a few years. Thanks for another great review.
Isn't the Poly so beautiful - especially outside on the beach? We have something in common since Kona is definitely a favorite of ours for breakfast and dinner as well. Stay tuned for my next update... another Kona review.
Love reading about Kona! We were just talking a few minutes ago that our breakfast there this past trip was a highlight! Although yes, it was the only ADR where we had to wait. Well worth it though!!!
Thanks! Breakfast is still my favorite meal at Kona Café. I'm glad that this restaurant hasn't become hugely popular like 'Ohana so it stays easy to make reservations at the last minute. I don't mind a wait as long as I get a table.
What the cupcake lacked in flavor, it made up in cute!
The Kona bread and butter look soooo good. So does the steak - and clearly, it was!
Kona has just never really been on my radar. Your experiences suggest that I should start considering it!
And cute it was. I think I only picked it because of the cartoony charm.
That Kona bread is he best... it's off limits for you? Yes, that steak is so good. Surprisingly!
I hope you and Willow enjoyed your Christmas!
Love your Le Cellier review; even though it stinks that its two credits now, some of the steaks sound delish!
Hi Kylie! Thanks and I agree, it's not really worth the price/credits they charge but hey I do love their soup and pretzel bread.
Great reviews (now that I'm caught up). I don't think we'll be back to LeCellier since finding Yachtsman, but I would SO go for that soup alone.
I'm glad to read your good review of Kona. A friend of ours got back just before us and they ate dinner there and they did not like it at all. He said his steak was as touch as shoe leather; I'm guessing he had an off night.
To you, Michael, Em and the rest of your family, a very
Looking forward (fingers crossed) to seeing you in 2014.
Thank you so much for the Christmas greeting. Michael says go Pack! (He's trouble of course!)
I've read some not so great reviews for Kona too so I'm waiting for our luck to be reversed. I don't think we'll fit it in next time.
I've got a spring and fall trip booked for 2014 but I need to either change some dates or add another trip since they don't align with your dates - yet. I'm trying to take advantage of the bounce back offers which have black out dates.
Take care and I hope you had a great Christmas with the kids.
That cupcake looks adorable. Did you and Emily fight over who got to keep the ring?
People go to Kona for dinner?
I'm glad that you enjoyed your meal- that steak does look rather tasty! And your description of the bread alone makes me want to go right now! You are right though
now that I have to book everything with a CC, it makes it a little tougher to move things around
Merry Christmas!! Hope you have a WONDERFUL day!
Ha ha I think that ring went in the trash since it was with the half that didn't get eaten. Now if I'd had 2 kids... it would be a bloody battle!
Well....now we are dinner and breakfast fans of Kona. Breakfast still trumps dinner.
The butter with the bread is what makes it amazing. I hate to admit that I'd rather have the bread than the steak although the steak was tasty.
Yeah...when I booked an ADR at the last minute last month I thought there was some type of error with the dining reservations since it asked for a cc for San Angel Inn. I'd missed the memo about the new policy. We do tend to change things around so I have to pay attention as well going forward.
We had to wait an eternity for our Kona breakfast last year and almost missed AK rope drop as a result. If the food wasn't so good I would be more annoyed ;-)
Hi there Mrs. Roma! I remember that in your review. That was a nail biter. Sneak peak... this last trip there was a bit of a disappointment with breakfast. Not enough to shake my confidence in coming back though...
All caught up on your reviews and hope you all had a wonderful Christmas
We have not been back to LC since they switched the dining credits and upped the price. I loooove that soup and pretzel bread though and wish they would sell it outside at a little kiosk, which they do at food and wine, however it's a sample size
Onto to Kona I have had that steak twice and loved it both times, there is just something special about dining in the lobby of the Poly that I just love! It looks like my next Disney trip won't be until December 2014 as our baby will be 5 months then and we have chosen our beloved DL over WDW as it will be easier and I love the holiday overlays at DL, plus a stay at the CL GC is calling my name.
Hi Lori! Thank you so much. I hope you were able to enjoy Christmas with your hubby!
I don't think I'd be happy with sample size servings of the soup and pretzel bread. I want massive portions!
I'm thinking that the meals at Poly are some of my favorites because I love the resort so much. It may just have an influence over my rating of the food because of the awesome atmosphere. Put that steak at Turf Club and I'd probably snub my nose up at it.
I love your DL resort pick! I've not stayed at the villas but the resort is so convenient. Makes for a day with baby easy to get back and forth from the resort/room and the parks. Christmas at DL is just as beautifully decorated as WDW as well. Just no Christmas parties.
Take care Lori!
It was just a weekend trip to see Christmas stuff. I kinda kept an eye out for you, but alas, I didn't spot you or Em. I did order the french toast, and it was delicious! I really liked the sausage too.
I enjoyed your Kona dinner review. I went there last July for dinner, and I shared the steak with my sister along with the potstickers, and I thought it was a delicious dinner. Their bread and macadamia nut butter is SO good, it makes me want to eat there again just for that.
Hope you had a merry Christmas!
Aha! Awww man! I would have loved it if we ran into each other. You must live only a few hours from WDW. (My grasp of geography is bad but I'm thinking you are not too far.)
I finally ordered the pot stickers this last time and they were very different from the 'Ohana version. Not bad just different but I do prefer the Yak & Yeti ones. And I completely agree, that bread is SO wonderful! Worthy of a return trip alone.
Thank you and I hope you had a great Christmas as well!
Oh that bread and butter. It is the best.
I have had the cheesecake there and it was good. The Kona Cone was not.
Ohhhhh yes, that bread is so good. See you know what I'm talking about!
I'm scared of cheesecake at WDW now after having a couple not so good ones. I don't see myself ordering the Kona Cone so I think I will avoid that.
