Review of 'Ohana Dinner

This is my second time at O'hana. The first trip was much better than this one. We were not seated in the main dining room, so we could not see the kids rolling coconuts. Most of the meat was undercooked. I like my beef well done and had to ask for it specifically as the beef on the "medium" skewers they bring by default was barely medium rare in my opinion. The pork was also not cooked, which is even more of a safety concern. We just pushed that aside and didn't bother our waiter. He seemed rather frazzled as it was. The only part of the meal I truly enjoyed were the noodles. I ate lots of those.

The dining room was half empty on our visit for 8:30 breakfast. Even so, the characters came and went in a flurry. If you didn't act fast, you didn't even get an autograph or a picture. I am not sure if they saw a table of four adults and thought they should move on or what. Adults want to interact too sometimes! The food was the usual breakfast fare with a make your own omelet station. I enjoyed the Lobster Benedict, gummy bears, and strawberry soup. I also was disappointed that the band organ on the wall didn't play. I seem to remember that it used to periodically.

This is one of my family's favorite places to eat. I love trying the different African flavors. My husband had plenty to eat on the gluten-free diet and they brought out special versions of whatever desserts he wanted. No other restaurant went to such great lengths for him (most brought pre-packaged baked goods).
Pros:
great selectionCons:

This was the best surprise for food quality. We went for the characters, but really enjoyed the food. The Mediterranean Chicken is great. The ice cream machine was broken when we went and the rest of the deserts were so so. Interacting with the characters got a little tricky due to space issues. Eeyore could barely move without knocking stuff over. Poor guy.
Pros:
character meal, decor, foodCons:

I visited solely for LeFou's Brew. I liked it (especially the foam). The decor looked just like the movie.

Great quiet place for lunch. I tried the lobster roll this visit, which was good. The star here, I think, is the fried fish. I had that last time and think I will eat it again next time I go. I love looking at the cool nautical memorabilia on the walls. They handled my husband's gluten allergy very efficiently and made us feel safe.
Pros:
quiet, good food, decorCons:

My family really enjoyed this experience. We sat in the main dining room and watched the snow fall all meal. I was slightly disappointed that the cornish hen is no longer offered. The chicken was good, but the steak was really delicious. The grey stuff was good for desert too, although the brownie they put it on was really hard. You might have to wait for pictures with the Beast. Every few minutes, they make an announcement saying the Beast is greeting visitors, which makes conversation impossible until that is finished.
Pros:
great atmosphere, food quality, snow falling in ballroomCons:

For counter service, this was great! All four people in my party ordered something different and all enjoyed it. I was impressed with the large selection of baked goods for desert. My husband, who has a gluten allergy, even had a "large" selection of gluten-free deserts from which to choose. I also like the location in The Land pavilion.
Pros:
great food, large sitting areaCons:

I must preface this review with the fact that I generally do not like Chinese food, primarily the sauces that they tend to put on everything. I ate at this restaurant because a family member chose Nine Dragons for their birthday meal. Trying to keep an open mind, I ordered the steak and shrimp with the red sauce on the side. My "well done" steak was definitely not well done, so I requested it be cooked more. My waiter took care of it without issue. I did not care for the red sauce and only dipped a couple of pieces of meat in it. I ate the rest of the meat plain. The ginger cake for dessert was nothing to write home about, but it wasn't disgusting like I thought it might be. Shortly after the meal, however, I wasn't feeling good.

My husband and I ate here for our anniversary dinner. I love France and was excited to use a little bit of my language and immerse myself in the experience. The food was good. I enjoyed the Lobster Bisque and the French Onion Soup could be a meal in itself. The waitress seemed very rushed and wanted to rush us through the meal. We also received no recognition for our anniversary although most of the other restaurants we visited did something- a piece of cake, a postcard with some characters, etc.
