If you want a slowly paced meal, go to a signature restaurant. O'hana isn't meant to be that kind of experience. You can sit and chat for as long as you want AFTER you finish eating. We lingered at Ohana for over an hour after finishing dessert, with a couple extra drinks/coffees. They can't physically make you leave until you are ready to. Next time, if you want a relaxing meal, go to a relaxing restaurant. Or, arrive an hour early and relax at the lounge with a drink and some chatting with your family. It doesn't make sense to make a dining reservation, be seated at a table and then say you aren't ready to eat, when you go to a buffet or family style meal. The whole point of those is that you don't have to order and wait forever for your food.
OR, go to Ohana after 9pm. They don't rush diners with later reservations.
Are you serious? You honestly think that because 'Ohana is not a signature and that because the food is served in courses that are predetermined guests should be expected to inhale their food in order to keep up with service designed to move people like cattle?
No. If I am paying that kind of money for a meal I expect that a simple request that I have a few moments to relax, check the drink menu and order a cocktail be honored. I do nto need to participate in a business model that has been revised to resemble a lunch schedule at a high school cafeteria
