A must-do for us. Every item from the opening bread to the closing dessert is awesome. Salad dressing is good but previous offering was better. Wings and noodles: Wow! I think i ate 35 grilled shrimp. Our server saw that I was loving the shrimp and he kept sending the guy over.
In fact, I told him I was really thirsty when we sat down. He brought me 2 iced teas and every time I finished one glass, he replaced it, meaning I always had 2 full glasses.
The beef, which in the past, had always been too well done for my taste was a bit pink inside.
The dessert.... I was so stuffed at this point but I dug down deep and found some room for it. Sooooo goooood!!!
For the price, 'Ohana may be one of the best values for WDW table service dining.
Pros:
All food items DELICIOUS. Friendly, attentive serversCons:

The breakfast menu has greatly improved! Wife had delicious filet mignon over a frittata. I had lobster and crab crepe. Both were incredible! Food use to be standard breakfast fare but now it is memorable.
This is quintessential WDW. Worth the price for the experience and you no longer feel taken when the bill arrives.
Take your daughter and she'll never forget it.
Pros:
Theme , Princesses , much improved foodCons:

My daughter loved eating in Beasts castle and i thought the theme was well done. That's about all I can give it.
Beef sandwich was decent, cupcakes looked great and tasted fine. Neither of those made it worth while. The French Onion soup was the absolute worst I have ever had. Bland bland bland ! It had a sort of "freezer burn" quality. The kids pork meal looked good but tasted nasty. I was really surprised they would not serve it without the sauce poured over the top of it as we requested when ordering. Not very kid-friendly for a restaurant appealing towards kids.
It really bugged me that the wait was so long to get in yet there were empty tables throughout our meal. A very comfy 4-top nearby sat empty the entire time we were there. Also, the very cool looking West Wing room was small compared to the other 2 rooms yet it is the most in demand.
Pros:
Novelty of castle and its themingCons:
Mediocre to poor food, small West Wing, long wait but lots of empty tablesReview of Sunshine Seasons

Incredible dessert selection. Good variety of food stations. Plenty of seating.
Only drawback was the ONE kids selection at the Asian station. Mongolian Beef which had a bit of heat and a lot of seasoning.
Desserts make it worth the trip

A must-do for us. I love the food and always overeat here! Food never looks or tastes old. Even our picky 6 year old finds enough to eat before she hits the dance floor with her new found friends.
Had the best service we have ever had here this past visit. Our waitress was quick to refill and clear plates. That is a real sticking point for me at a buffet. She even had a sense of humor !
Entertainment is lively and the decor is really cool.
There is plenty of "safe" food for the less adventurous and beer flights are available: 4 glasses of different drafts.
A trip to Epcot wouldn't be complete for me without a meal here!
Pros:
Great , fresh food. Lively entertainment.Cons:

Worth a visit if you are with a princess fanatic. Definitely not worth it for the food alone. Appetizer buffet: Great ! Dessert sampler: Awesome. Entrees: Meh
Had a great server : Siljie (sorry for spelling). Pronounced like Celia. She was wonderful and accommodating. We over did it with the apps and ate only half our entrees. She came over concerned and offered to replace them with something else. In reality we just wanted to save room for dessert! Drinks were refilled quickly. Hello from the family that told you about bread pudding!
Princesses were awesome! 2 of them came back to our table after I told them my DD had to visit the restroom. It probably helped that we were there for a less than crowded lunch.
Again - you are definitely paying a premium for princesses so if you have no interest in seeing them, go elsewhere.
Pros:
Appetizer buffet, pics with Belle, dessert sampler, good princess interactionCons:

Good American style Asian food. Lots of seating. Decent portions for price.
Got up to get utensils and condiments and when we got back after a few seconds when saw a duck had jumped up on the table and flipped my daughters chicken fingers on the ground and other ducks made off with them. I assumed i was SOL but the cast member where i obtained our food from replaced the order without hesitation.
Pros:
Tasty foodCons:

I actually feel relaxed after a WDW vacation ! Usually I am exhausted afterwards but this trip was different. WL was much calmer than the Moderates we are use to. Had woods view and could see Wishes above and through the trees ( Room 6064). It was such a pleasure to have everything under one roof as opposed to walking and walking to refill a mug. Never waited more than 30 seconds for an elevator.
Mousekeeping was great and amused my daughter with towel animals every day. Pool area was nicely landscaped and the 2 jacuzzis were heavenly.
My only gripe - and it's a small one - was the variety of foods and small size of Roaring Fork quick serve . Hard to navigate the beverage area when even a handful of people were around. Again - a minor gripe that certainly wouldn't prevent me from giving WL a 10 rating.
Chose WL because of a highly discounted rate but I can't foresee going back to a moderate after this experience.
