The next meal I got pictures at was 'Ohana for dinner. We've been going there for years (pre-TJ days). All I can say is that this was the worst meal we've ever had there. There is no way I'll be going back for dinner anytime in the near future. We haven't had any issues at breakfast so we might go back there someday.
It all started with the chef. He seemed annoyed to be at our table and he obviously didn't want to be there. He was just going through the motions and didn't really seem to care. Definitely not the Disney chefs we've become so used to.
Also I should probably note the timing of our meal was really off. It took us way longer than it ever has before to get our allergy-safe food. I have no problems waiting for food and I understand it may take longer, but I at least want the food to be delicious and something worth waiting for. (I probably would have enjoyed the Contemporary's counter service for dinner MUCH more)
We started with the GNI rolls and they were ICE cold. I can barely tolerate them warm and ice cold was not okay with me. I finally was able to get someone's attention and they warmed them up. I was absolutely starving at that point so they were edible.
Next came the chicken wings. If I'm remembering correctly they were luke-warm/cool. Nothing special or exciting
We finally get our "platter" of food to share and I was shocked by its size. My mom and I are both full size adults and that really wasn't enough food to share. I asked the chef for more chicken and he gave me attitude about it. He was like if you want more food you can always have salad. Eventually he got me more chicken, but it was definitely a process and shouldn't have been that difficult.
Dessert wasn't satisfying at all. I should probably note that in the past, we've had chefs go out of their way to get us one of the Kona desserts as they are safe and SO MUCH better than the OMG brownie thing. This chef made me a brownie sundae with an ice cold brownie. Our server held everyone else's dessert for probably about 10-15 mins in hope our dessert would come out. 10 minutes after their dessert came out, we finally got our dessert.
Honestly, there is no way I'd recommend 'Ohana for dinner and it used to be one of our favorites.
I just don't think the cost is worth it for what you get and if you want to eat at the Polynesian, Kona is definitely a much better option.
