    This was such a fun experience. The entertainment was exactly what we needed to allow us to enjoy and share family time. The MC was hilarious and talented. Kept the energy high. The food was decent. I appreciated the ability to have options. For the amount spent it could have been a bit more better. In my opinion. I struggled but both my husband and daughter enjoyed themselves.

    The show here is great! The fire dancers especially are impressive and so is the music. The host is also fun! However, the food was disappointing. There were not a lot of options in the buffet at all and food was lacking flavor. I would've liked to see a lot more appetizer and meat options. The show transported me to Hawaii but the food did not.

    Sometimes the best nights are the ones you never plan. I ended up at a Polynesian-style luau show this past Saturday, and it turned out to be such a great surprise. If you're spending time at Disney or Universal, this spot is close enough to step outside the "bubble" for a bit and it's absolutely worth it. Don't be afraid to venture out... you won't regret it. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. From the bar to the table service, everything went smoothly and everyone was genuinely friendly. The food? Was Seriously impressive. Every bite from the chicken to the pork was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The venue itself is spacious, so there really isn't a bad seat in the house. Both the pre-show and the main performance are interactive, high-energy, and genuinely fun. Even as a local, I'd definitely come back again. Highly recommend if you're looking for something different and memorable in Orlando!

    The service was good The food was delicious. The pineapple cake was bomb. it definitely brought back the Hawaiian island culture I definitely recommend if you're nine and older and if you like Leo and stitch

    Go for the show, not the food. I had family visiting and they wanted to go to this place. The staff was very nice and friendly. I was surprised at the size of this place. They have a little area to purchase things in the front and then inside is the stage, seats, and buffet. The food was nothing special and they lacked variety. The show's host was good and so were the performers.

    My family and I came to Orlando to spend Christmas and saw this in the coupon book. After reading the reviews I was a bit hesitant but wanted to experience it for ourselves. We are absolutely happy that we did. We had no expectations whatsoever and were not let down. It was a great experience and an overall great show! We will definitely come back when we visit Orlando again! Food was what was expected. The only suggestion that I would make is that the check in line was near the line for the food. To make it easier they should have table numbers and put name tags so when you check in when you initially walk in they can give you your table number, but otherwise it was an amazing experience and a wonderful holiday getaway!

    Very entertaining show- funny MC who really knows how to engage the crowd, great musicians, plus you learn about different dance styles, music, and languages from different Polynesian countries. Buffet is good, ambiance is nice, good service, nice people. The dancers do a phenomenal job, especially the fire dances! Really fun experience!!

    Such a fun experience. Right from the time you walk in you feel like you have been transported to the Polynesian Islands. You are greeted by lovely women handing out leis. There was a photo section, a bar, and an all you can eat buffet included. The entire place was decked out in palm trees, tikis, and even a volcano that really helped set the tone. The show was amazing! Funny, and entertaining, really enjoyed how they got the audience involved. My favorite part was the fire show which took place outside. So much dedication. Put this on your to do list

Service was great. Our waitress obviously had experience taking photos for people because she had all the right angles. She also gave me three cups of jalapeño because I told her I love spicy.

The atmosphere is definitely the highlight, and we were really excited to finally experience it since we had tried to dine here on multiple previous visits to Disney World but could never get a reservation. Unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to the anticipation. They were already running behind schedule when we arrived early for our reservation, and we still had to wait at least 30 minutes past our reservation time to be seated. We were offered a regular table instead of a car, which they apparently offer to walk-ins, but we wanted the full "drive-in experience". Once we saw the inside, I'm glad we passed because the tables in the back looked like small, somewhat run-down patio furniture and would have taken away from what makes this restaurant special. Once seated, the car setup was really cute, but the restaurant itself felt like it could use some better upkeep. Our table and menus were sticky, which was disappointing considering the overall Disney experience you expect. There are two rows of booth style seating in the cars which you share with another party as a party of two. With two adults, the seating felt cramped. The food and service were the bigger letdowns. Service was very slow, and the food was overpriced for what we received. My Grilled Chicken Citrus Salad, which is normally a dish I really enjoy at other restaurants, was particularly disappointing here. Overall, the food just wasn't very good and didn't feel like it justified the price, even with the expected Disney markup. The lunch and dinner menus also feature the same items at the same prices. Another missed opportunity is the on-screen entertainment. Disney has access to so many beloved movies, cartoons, and shorts, yet the clips shown here felt like they could have been much more fun and varied. With such an amazing library of Disney content, it seems like there is so much more they could do with the screen and the drive-in concept. The concept is fantastic, and the car booths are genuinely cute and fun. Unfortunately, the execution just wasn't there for us. After wanting to experience this restaurant for so long, we're glad we finally got to see what it was all about--but based on the slow service, poor upkeep, disappointing food, and high prices, it would be a once-and-done experience for us.

The show itself was spectacular! Stunts, sound and water effects, and a lot of crowd interactive type of competitions. I loved that the crowd was divided into different teams. Our server was so nice and attentive to our needs. We chose not to upgrade our meals (it was like $20/extra per person if we wanted steak instead of chicken), but we were impressed with the 3 course meal! It started with a Caesar salad, followed with chicken accompanied by veg and mashed potatoes, and finishing with a brownie. The chicken straight up fell off of the bone. I was also served like half of a whole chicken (I had to take some home because I was so full). It was cooked way better than I thought it would be. You can purchase appetizers after you get you salad for an extra cost. The drinks are good but can be expensive. If you're looking for a less expensive alcohol option, definitely ask about using their house liquor. I had to ask them 3 times for them to actually tell me it was like a $9 difference between getting it with their house vs premium liquor. I will say that anything you get from the bar or as an appetizer that cost extra already includes 15% gratuity. Nobody will tell you it does, but it will be written on the appetizer menu in a very light colored font. What I think is a little BS is that although gratuity is included for those, it isn't included for the server who is serving you the whole night. But none of this negatively affected my experience, I just want to make you all aware of this! I would come back for sure with some family who hasn't seen the show.

Our party ended up being 20 of us and we were able to share a unique link for purchasing tickets so our party was all linked together as one party.

We weren't sure if we could or should go to the bar to order drinks or if we could walk around before dinner. It took a while (10+ minutes) for anyone to approach our table.) Once someone approached our table we ordered drinks and then walked around the boat. We went to the top deck to take some photos and watch the sunset before dinner started. Once dinner started we were able to go the buffet as munch as we wished. Since it was Italian night they had all Italian dishes, none of the dishes really stood out but nothing was bad. It was good, but not like wow! While eating they started pouring our wine samples. We got two red and two white samples and a sommelier talked us through each sample.

If you're staying at a Disney property you can book all your dining reservations for your entire trip starting 60 days before your check-in date. This restaurant is located in the main building at the Polynesian resort which is very conveniently located on the monorail line. We were seated right at our reservation time. The dining room is large and bustling. The tables are close together, so there is not a ton of privacy. Our server was very friendly and helpful and explained that this is an "all you care to enjoy" dining experience which in Disney language means they will keep bringing you more food if you want it. I tried the Mai Tai cocktail (included with the dining plan) which was a truly authentic, tasty, and strong drink! You start with a platter of their famous Ohana noodles and other small items like gyoza and chicken wings. The famous noodles are truly very good and wonderfully flavored. Next they will bring you a platter of assorted entree items including shrimp, beef, and chicken. The beef was tender and a nice and flavorful sauce, but I actually enjoyed the chicken more which was a thin and flavorful grilled boneless breast. Again, you can ask for more of anything you want until you are full! The dessert is the Ohana pineapple bread pudding with ice cream which was a delicious and unique take on the standard bread pudding. The pineapple really added unique flavor and texture to the dish. Overall, this was a great dining experience! We look forward to returning on our next visit!
