This was such a great restaurant. It had a great theme and great food. The restaurant is located in the Polynesian Resort, upstairs from the check-in desk. So it has a very nice Polynesian feel. The lights are kept low, and you can see the Magic Kingdom and the castle from the main dining room. The room is huge but they have found a way to keep the noise low even when the restaurant is packed. The tables are situated around a huge gazebo-like kitchen, where you can see the chefs hard at work over huge flames. It has a very nice and classy feel, but it is still very family- and kid-friendly.
I am not sure if there is even a menu, but I am sure you can order something small and cheaper for the kids if you ask. But the main meal there is "the feast", and yes, it is a feast. They bring an appetizer tower with buffalo wings, fancy salad, dipping sauces, and other choices. Then waiters come around with huge skewers of meat and ask you if you would like some. They pull the meat off the skewer straight to your plate. You can choose from turkey, chicken, beef, and shrimp, or all of them! The meat is amazing, and everything is cooked to perfection. Plus, you can eat as much as you want. If you have room, you can order dessert at the end--there are lots of fun family choices such as a sand bucket and shovel complete with a huge ice cream sundae or s'mores you can cook at your own table. That’s Disney for you.
Ohana means family, and family means no one gets left behind. (Bet you can’t leave this fun and exciting restaurant without saying that!)
