Have to agree. Never understood the appeal.
I've eaten at several brazilian steakhouse type restaurants which I would say their style of serving seems based upon and Ohanas pales in comparison.
At least in the past, were rushed way too much to enjoy the experience.
I'm happy to pass and let some body else have my spot.
Last time we ate at ‘Ohana the check showed up before the first skewer arrived and no drinks refilled after that.
Let’s just say the tip suffered for that gaffe. Normally I’m a generous tipper because 1 worked in a restaurant as a kid, 2 close friends own a restaurant and while visiting during summer season many times put on an apron and did the needful. So I understand how hard people in front and in back of house work. But a server giving you the bums rush like that to turn over the table is never acceptable.
churrascaria’s are normally relaxed places to eat and as Ohana was very popular one would have thought while destroying the beautiful lobby they might have expanded Ohana by relocating Kona Cafe or a dozen other ideas.
it always seems that this management team never wants to invest in successful concepts, it’s always about financial engineering. They wanted more profit from Ohana so instead of expanding as a normal business would they cheapened the offering greatly, Assuming ‘they are only tourists, they will never know the difference’.
Remember the ‘Tonga Toast’ kerfuffle, they went to sandwich bread ‘to simplify ordering’. You have a signature dish which used a unique ingredient. Why in the name of finagle would one change it. Except to save a few and i mean a few bucks because bread is not expensive.
this change is no different cheapen the product and raise the price.
As I keep saying the only way to fix Disney is not to go. DVC’ers need to withhold their MF’s and demand changes while placing their MF’s in escrow.
