We have always had a great time there also. Sometimes I think we receive the kind of service that we *ask* for or *expect*. We always try to *connect* with our servers, smile, ask where they're from, etc. This usually breaks the ice and we always get great service.
the implication of this, of course, is that those of us who have had bad experiences at 'Ohana got bad service due to our own behavior.
i go to lots and lots of restaurants all over the world. australia this week. i often get terrific service and am very fond of many restaurants. i don't go into any place, including 'Ohana, asking for a bad experience.
seriously, you think the reason i don't like 'Ohana is because i don't smile? the complaint i have about the service at 'Ohana is not that the servers are unfriendly. it is that they are overstretched, the whole place is run like a factory designed to rush people out, and we have typically not really seen our server again after an initial hello and drink order.
i think it is totally great that a lot of people love 'Ohana. really, i do. but, i resent being told that MY dislike for the place is invalid for some reason.
