Could someone break the meal down for me... we are not very adventurous but since we will be doing the dining plan for free I was thinking about going here before MNSSHP. Earliest ressie we can get.. We are normal eaters..

And I need visuals,an example we eat sweet and sour from the chinese restaurant up the street and do buffalo wings, but have never experienced Honey-coriander wings.. Can you compare the menu items to something that I may be able to tell the DH, DD15, and DS13... Thanks in advance... Here is what I saw on the meal.. I know this may be time consuming, but I would greatly appreciate it..

I think you and your family will find the food here to be very familiar and similar to what they have at home.

We ate at 'Ohana last August, by far our favorite meal during Free Dining. We had a 5:10 ADR, so I thought. I should have confirmed ahead of time, because it was entered for the same date and time, A MONTH EARLIER! We were seated rather quickly, regardless of the error.

Anyway, The salad was really good. The dressing was light, not overpowering (I think because it's dressed ahead of time and finds its way to the bottom of the bowl, therefore the top of the salad isn't drenched in the dressing).

We liked the wings and the pork, and the dipping sauces. The skewers were excellent and the dessert was awesome! It's definitely on our list for a return visit.
 
At it's core: meat lightly marinated, then grilled on a stick. As much as you want.

As for the rest: the veggies are simply seasoned, and very crisp. Very well done. The salad is good---the dressing is a tad sweet, and I normally don't like sweet dressings.

Anything else: just sample and see if you like it. If not, no worries. Just call for more skewers of grilled MEAT.
 
The menu at "Ohana has changed recently so they don't have a few of the selections that you posted. The main change is that they no longer serve the scalloped potatoes.

From the menu on the dis....

Ohana's Dinner Adult 5:00pm - 10:00pm - Starters: Pork fried dumplings, Corriander chicken wings, and Mixed Greens with Honey-Lime dressing. Skewers (prepared over an oak fire): Marinated sirloin steak, Asian BBQ pork loin, Mesquite grilled turkey, and non-peeled shrimp. Accompaniments: broccoli and green peas and pad Thai noodles. Sauces: peanut, chimichurri and sweet-and-sour. Dessert: 'Ohana bread pudding a la mode with Banana Foster sauce. Includes coffee, tea and soda. - $26.99 *

We ate there last Sept and thought it was really good.
 

Like someone else mentioned, it's salad and appetizers (and an amazingly delicious dessert), plus lots of grilled meat. Since it's all you can eat, you can ask for more of what you like (even the dessert) and not eat whatever doesn't appeal to you. It is all brought to your table, so you can have a nice family time without everyone having to get up all the time to get what they like. It was pretty basic food, however, and even my daughter ate most of the items.

'Ohana is a really fun place to eat -- enjoy!
 
Okay I have decided this is the one, now I just have to get an ADR and hopefully I won't have to change too much around to get it... Boy is it hard to schedule dining during "free dining"... ;)
