We are AP so we frequent Disney at least 4 or 5 times a year. Our 8 lb, 6 yr old Shitzhu comes with us (we drive from NJ). As AP we get discounts on her stay, but if you stay on property you get a discount too. Their times of business are pretty flexible and they treat Abbey with top care! We often get pics of her when we are on vacation. She is given lots of love by the staff. They even sent us an email yesterday for our trip in 10 days, letting us know about a recent outbreak of canine flu and what we can do to prevent it before our stay.

My son, daughter, wife and I had dinner here on May 13th 2017. It was one of the best dinners any of us have had in a LONG time. The food was wonderful, the service was amazing (never had a glass get more than half empty, I think each table has a dedicated staff). It's now been over a month since then and we still are talking about the dessert Bacio al Cioccolato! We all had different meals and all absolutely loved it. I had the Zuppa Cinque Terre as I wanted something totally different, and was not disappointing. This was the only place we ate that all of us agreed we would do it again next time.

My son, daughter, wife and myself visited the Coral Reef in mid May 2017. We had reservations and were seated promptly. Three of us ordered the Mahi Mahi while my daughter ordered the salmon. My wife's came out barely cooked...basically raw. Mine and my son's were cooked but barely warm. My daughter didn't realize till having eaten half of it that part of hers was WAY undercooked as well. They did redo my wife's meal, and did give us two gold fast passes to make up for it, but still I expected better food. The desserts (chocolate wave and Baileys and Jack Daniels mousse) were very good though. I would not go back.
Pros:
Great view of the aquarium tankCons:

We went here for breakfast as a party of nine on 6/10/17. I don't know what happened to this place, but the food was nothing like the other reviewers experience. The pastry tray consisted of a plate with four store-bought pastries, and this was for 9 people! I ordered the vegetable quiche and it arrived on a plate, not as a pie. It was incredibly bland, no taste whatsoever. It came with a slice of what I think was fried bread, but it just tasted like oil. The people who had the Croissant Doughnut said it was so sweet and tough they couldn't finish it. They must have been joking when they named the Feast a la Gaston. Extremely small portions and the sausages were uneatable. This is what happens when a place becomes popular and they let the food quality slide. Everyone went away hungry after spending $30.

About Avatar Flight of Passage: my adult son weighs nearly 300 pounds and carries his weight in his torso due to medication weight gain. The cast member assisting us was unable to lock him into the ride vehicle during passholder preview. He was forced to leave and it was a very frustrating and embarrassing experience for him. There are no other rides at WDW that he has an issue with.

I haw here for dinner June 7, 2017.
We shared starters of Arancini - so creamy delicious and Gamberi con fagioli - one of the best things i have ever tasted! My entree was the Saltimbocca so tender and prepared perfectly , the marsala sauce was the best I have ever had. I also tasted my husband's pollo fra diavolo. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. my daughter had the Spaghetti al frutti di mare in the spicy red sauce and the seafood was perfect. Everything was prepared perfectly nothing was overcooked (or undercooked) I loved this meal!
I also want to complement the service. Our waiter was helpful, made excellent recommendations, and was always available when we wanted something but not overbearing. He checked on us without interrupting us -so helpful and knowledgeable about the menu without being pretentious. I am going back!
Pros:
Delicious food - great serviceCons:

A lot of this experience depends on the other family or families you must eat with. We were fortunate to share our table with a family similar to ours.
The table chef was fun and entertaining. the food was delicious, fresh and well prepared.

We were here Sunday June 4, 2017.
I am not new to Ohana. I have been here a couple of times. I have loved it in the past. This time however, we experienced poor service. It took forever to bring us the salad and when the appetizers came out there were far too few chicken wings, pot stickers, and noodles for the amount of people at our table. We asked for another plater to be brought to us and it took so long to deliver - we were already filling up on the skewers of meat because we were still so hungry. Not a very balanced meal i'm afraid.
I don't get it. nothing was special ordered, every table in the place had the same thing. Just go in the kitchen and bring it out. I'm still mad at myself for tipping 18% for poor (and lac of) service.

great atmosphere tasty foodCons:

We dined here June 8, 2017
One of the best meals I have ever had.
I was a bit off balance eating this fabulous meal while thinking of fastpass return times or when rivers of light started. I wish I could have come to this restaurant relaxed and focused on the meal with time to enjoy the experience of this beautifully crafted meal. After all - this dinner deserved to be the star of the evening - not a sideline with flights of passage, Avatar, Expedition Everest, and the rest of the park distracting my thoughts and senses. However, as a vacationeer I didn't have the luxury of coming to the park just for dinner. With that said let me tell you about the meal....
I started with the grilled octopus. It was so tender and the charred flavor was delicate not over powering but so flavorful. The cheeses on the cheese board were perfectly selected with different textures and flavors. I also tasted the bread service with 3 sauces, each one delicious in a different way. I ordered the Scallops for my entree. They were seared perfectly on both sides without overcooking. They actually melted in my mouth with the toasty seared flavor on my tongue. My only complaint is I really wish there were three more on my plate. My daughter had the whole fish and it was the best presentation of a whole fish I have ever seen. It was also so delectable I'm lucky she gave me a taste. My husband had the striploin and short rib cooked to perfection.
The meal, wine, and service were all perfect. I do recommend eating here because the food is superb. However, once again I can't help but wish I could visit this restaurant without the distraction of a theme park.
Pros:
everything I tasted ... perfectionCons:

We have used this many times. It is a great service Disney provides and definitely saves money on a rental car if you do not plan to leave the Disney Resort Area. My only complaint is they do not leave enough time for returning to the airport. We had a 7:50pm flight, boarding beginning at 7:20pm. Our pick up time was 5pm. It would sound like that is enough time but I do not like the stress of "are we going to make it in time". We had 2 stops after we were picked up. With the construction around the Disney property, from pick up time to actually getting off Disney property was 1 hour. You have an approximate 30 minute trip to the airport barring any delays. Then check in and security to get through. Knowing we weren't getting home until late, we wanted to sit and have dinner before boarding our flight. It ended up waiting in line for fast food and rushing to the gate. Disney needs to take traffic and other stops into account when assigning your return time.
