Congrats on your marriage! I can't wait to read your reviews!

I live in NC, too, in the Raleigh area. We're driving down in September. Do you mind me asking where you live and how long your drive was? We're leaving at midnight and I want to made a late breakfast/early lunch upon arrival.

Thanks!

Ok so after we checked into the beautiful Beach Club , relaxed and swam in Storm Along Bay (loved the pool!!!!), we were so ready for dinner. We made our way to the Polynesian for the first time during the trip. We went so many times to Poly, you could have thought that that was the resort we were staying at.

Our ressie was for 8:10 pm. We checked in at 7:50 and were handed a pager , but not too many people were waiting. We decided to get a drink at the TAMBU Lounge and here's what we got.......

DH got a Jack and Coke and liked it.

I got the infamous Lapu Lapu. I thought that it was good it was just a lot for me. It took me the entire meal to finish it and i like to finish drinks by the time i finish my entree before i get the dessert.

Overall: The bartender was nice he just took a while to get to us because he talked to all the customers, (which there wasn't that many) for a long time each. Note the lapu lapu is very expessive and i probably wouldn't get another any time soon. sorry

Rating: 8 1/2

We waited at the Tambu Lounge for about 10 minutes when the buzzer went off and we were seated for dinner at ...

We had never been here before and were so excited to try it!!! We were seated by the window and had such a GREAT view!!!

It was a nice view to stare at because it took our waitor Newton forever to even come greet us. This was a consistent theme throughout the meal.Anyway onto the food!!

OMG love, love, love the bread so good!!!!

Really good salad with a sweet dressing!

Sauces for the meat!!

The cool cooking area with fire pit!

Theses were the apps and let it be known that i was full after eating this part of the meal. Both the pork dumplings and the chicken wings were amazing!!!!!

another pic of the apps

Sorry no pictures of the skewers and dessert i forgot bc i was only thinking 'where am i going to put these in my belly?'

Overall: The food was amazing and lived up to all of my expectations!!! All the meat was cooked perfectly and tender. I just disn't eat the shrimp bc i don't like them but DH ate all the ones on his plate and the ones put on mine!!He loved them!!The vegies were crisp and seasoned nicely. Lo mein was very good as well. The dessert was oh so sweet and delectable. A great meal overall!!!!!
The service from our waitor was just mediocre but the other server who brought out the apps and dessert was very nice and kept checking to see if we were doing ok.

Rating: Food- 10!!!!! Service -7

Great dinner at 'Ohana - I would love to eat there one day.

"Also because we had not checked in yet this was OPP so we just got sandwiches."

Was the not checked in just by choice? I know you can't go to the room until about 3-4, but can't you get your key cards before then? Great reviews by the way, and holy cow eighteen days! I love food, but I don't think I could do that.

I was wondering the same thing. Also how many meals did you pay for OOP?
I'm doing deluxe when we go in August. Figured since I don't like the CS, I would rather have a TS breakfast every day as well as the 2TS places.

Ok so I was drooling just at the title of your review! You guys are too cute and congrats!

 

[MarkinNM]

AWESOME start, thanks for taking the time and the pics............

 

[dd50]

The food looks good. That is what I am worrying about, where to put the food? I am not eating there this time but probably next. Seems like service isn't that great any where at Disney any more.
