I have read so many negative reviews about Ohana dinner, that I thought I'd post our great experience.
I had always wanted to eat at Ohana, but was a little nervous after reading a lot of bad reviews. We had an amazing dinner and I would say it was our favorite meal of the whole 8-night trip!
We were staying in the Poly and the walk to Ohana from our room in Raratonga was about 2 minutes. This was on Monday 11/25 of Thanksgiving week. We had a 5:30 reservation for 3 people. We arrived at 5:25 and were seated within a few minutes.
Everything was delicious. Our DD13 loved the noodles, dumplings and bread. And DH really liked the veggies in the appetizer tray. We were all thoroughly surprised by the salad...that dressing was amazing. My DH is on a very low-cal diet and does not like salads that have been dressed. Our waitress brought him his own large bowl of salad with the dressing on the side and DD13 and I enjoyed the pre-dressed salad. The skewers were so good. We did not have any steak. But DH had dozens of shrimp, DD13 couldn't get enough of the chicken (that smokey flavor was soooo good!) and I enjoyed both the shrimp and the chicken.
We did manage to save room for dessert. It was good...not as amazing as I thought it would be based on other reviews. But it was very tasty. And they didn't give us too much. So we weren't overly stuffed.
The service was great...always refilling water and sodas. Coming by with plenty of chicken and prawns for us. Stopping by and asking if we needed anything else.
I highly recommend Ohana and I can't wait to go back!
