Kona Cafe Opinions?

[aladdin2007]

Hi everyone,
We had tried to make a dinner reserve for OHANA, but since it was booked we went ahead with the Kona Cafe. Is this a good choice for a birthday dinner? Or do you have a better suggestion maybe? Were just coming over for the afternoon and evening next weekend, and we cant get into our favorite dining spots in the parks becuase our season passes are on block. So was wondering which resort resturant would be best. Artist Point was our second choice maybe but we went with Kona.

Thanks:wave:

Kona is one of my favorite places to go!
I have never been to Artists Pointe, so I cannot give an opinion.
Captain Jacks at DTD is also a favorite.

Ohana

Depending on how many in your party, Try going to Ohana about an half hour before they open. I've done this before without a reservation, and I have been able to get in.

We were in Disney last October and also got seating at Ohana for that night right when they opened. We just kept checking with the reservation desk at the resort and a cancellation just called in. It's a fun place to eat.

I really like Kona Cafe for breakfast, but have never cared for lunch or dinner. IMO, go to Artist Point if you can. It's my favorite restaurant on property, and maybe the world. I highly recommend the Buffalo Sirlion Steak (melt in your mouth), the Cedar Salmon (melts in your mouth also), and the Berry Cobbler. It's more expensive than Ohana and Kona, but it's still VERY much worth the expense, in my opinion.

We absolutely love Kona. We went last year because we couldn't get into Ohana and had to "settle" for Kona. It was awesome. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. If you eat there you must try the cheese cake! UMMMMMMMM!

Breakfast and lunch are fine (haven't had dinner there), but IMHO it just doesn't say celebration to me.
You can try Ohana again from home and also right on up to the time you want to eat, there may be cancellations. There are many other nice places to have a birthday celebration, why not give the the menus a look see and see if there isn't something you like better?
Artist Point is wonderful .

Completely agree. The food, even at dinner, is very very good, but it would not be my pick for a birthday celebration.

We once celebrated in the food court at Port Orleans Riverside and had a great time.
It's the people who make a celebration and not the place.

Love the place, love he food, but not party enough for a party and not special enough for a birthday dinner.

If money isnt a factor Id say California Grill, the times weve been Artist Point is a bit too quiet for a party atmosphere.

Was just at WDW during Memorial Day weekend. We had my 4yo son's birthday lunch at this restaurant. One of our fav's. Of course there are no characters there but we still have fun. For dessert they had a plate made up with chocolate etched onto the plate that said happy birthday and also had an image of Lilo and Stitch. He was happy and so were we.
