In a previous review I mentioned that my husband and I are "Polynesian Wannabees" since it's our favorite resort but we've never stayed there, so we make a point to eat there as often as possible.
The chance to walk the luciously landscaped grounds would be reason enough to come here, but the fact that 'OHana is here makes it the closest thing to heaven we'll experience for a while.
'OHana has such a friendly and welcoming atmosphere as your host greats you and explains how we're all family and we'll be joining our "cousins" for dinner. The chairs have a wicker/bamboo look. The windows over look the lake with the castle in the distance, magical!
The starter is a pineapple bread but don't fill up too much on that. Soon to follow are vegetable and shrimp won-tons, bacon-fried green beans, tossed salads, fried rice, etc.
It's all you can eat but everything is brought to your table so you don't have to move.
Then comes the turkey and pork. I'm not a huge fan of these items anywhere so I certainly don't fill up on them here (although they are quite good) but the real treat for me is the delicious steak (varying to well done for my husband to medium rare for me) and the SHRIMP
skewers and skwers of JUMP shrimp brought right to me. This is one item where I find myself eating until I'm beyond stuffed because it is just so good.
Of course this time I forgot about the wonderful dessert. Fresh pineapple dipped in warm carmel. I can't even tell you how heavenly this is. I was reluctant to try it the first time because it didn't sound like a good combination. but once i tried it I'm not longer shy to ask for seconds or thirds, really really good!
As a childless couple we appreciate that the kids are kept well entertained by spontaneous parades around the place, hula-hoop contests, etc but it never negatively intrudes on our dinner.
This is a must do at least once every trip, twice if possible . . . yes, it's really THAT GOOD!
