Well I made an ADR for Ohanas about 5-6 months ago and almost canceled it a few times due to such poor reviews. I am glad I didn't. We ate there on this last Saturday night, had an ADR for 7:45PM. We heard as we checked in that stand by wait was about 2 hours so not a restaurant you do not want to have a reservation for.
They gave us the pager and we waited I think maybe 5-10 minutes for our table. Our table was AMAZING. Front and center view of Cinderella's Castle right at the windows. We had a view of a support beam too, but overall the view could not be beat. We were also a few tables away from the fire pit and right in the middle of the festivities so to speak (limbo, hula etc)
We were not rushed in the the slightest and from the point we arrived to when we received the check was about an hour or so. As everyone says you have to come hungry because the food comes out quickly (maybe thats why everyone thinks they are being rushed?) The sauces for the wontons were kind of unusual, the potatoes lived up to their reputation, and I personally liked the peel and eat shrimp, I was the only one eating them though as I was the only one in our group who likes shrimp.
We were given plenty of time to eat all of the starters and go for seconds before the meat started coming out, it was steak, pork, chicken, sausage and turkey. The turkey was by far the best! Steak wasn't to bad either. No one seemed to like the sausage.
The only thing we weren't crazy about was dessert, none of us care to much for bananas, I heard they used to have a pineapple dessert, I wish you could have a choice.
Right before dessert the water pageant came by, and we could see about half of that (volcano was in the way!) and right as we were finishing up, wishes started, they piped the music in, and that was very cool getting such a great view. We have been pretty lucky in that department as about two years ago we got the same amazing view of Wishes from California Grill.
Anyway, we will definitely be returning, and even though we found the price fairly steep ($26 is high for a midwesterner!) You get everything you pay for, it's a great value!
