Ohana Grill

Ohana was beyond delicious!! I can't wait to go back. I went for restaurant week and it was to die for.

Great dinner at Ohana. The ahi tuna bowl and spicy salmon bowl were both fresh and delicious! A little on the pricey side ($32 each) but overall we were happy with what we got and would return if in the area again.

We went 2 days in a row, Ohana Grill was that good. Make sure to call to reserve, leave a message and they’ll get back to you. Check in with the hostess inside to the left of the building, and they’ll seat you (inside or outside options). The staff from buskids to waitresses were friendly with great suggestions (thank you Kately). The food both nights were incredible, hard to pick a favorite- the Thai seafood, calamari, scallops…surprisingly we think it was the soup trio!

It pains me to provide a less than stellar rating given we have wanted to try Ohana for over a year and even made a reservation over a week ago all based on the other stellar reviews. Maybe they’re having an off day.

We arrived a couple minutes ahead of our 5:15 reservation and was greeted with a mixed welcome. A bright smile from a blonde hostess and a scowl from a brunette in a Lilly Pulitzer dress. I had asked about if parking was allowed in one of the numbered spots but was told no and then immediately asked to wait outside given the small entrance way. No problem since my husband was already looking for parking. We waited a few minutes, my husband had arrived and then was called by the blonde but immediately told a mistake was made and it wasn’t our turn to be seated. So we patiently waited at least another ten minutes. My husband went inside to inquire and was told our party wasn’t here and they couldn’t seat us per policy- he said he was the final person and he was there when the error in calling my name was made. And the policy was never stated when we were sent to wait outside.

I got the scallops risotto and it was DELICIOUS. We also enjoyed the clams in wine (a couple had sand) and the pretzels with raspberry mustard. My older son’s cheeseburger kids meal was great. My younger son’s chicken fingers were super dark, but after re ordering he ate them and was pleasantly surprised at the tenderness. Sadly, the clams in the Thai curry were super sandy for my mom and husband. The coconut rice was al dente, much to my Asian mother’s dismay. My MIL’s stir fry didn’t state it was spicy yet it was riddled with tiny spicy pepper pieces.

Our server Nikki was an angel, it was a trying meal for some of my party given the above and she was so kind and patient.

Lastly, the women’s bathroom was out of paper towels before I walked in, I notified the staff and it wasn’t replenished by the time my mother and MIL stopped in… which just added more fuel to the fire. Sigh.

Food is always outstanding at Ohana grill. It is colorful, healthy, and delicious. Restaurant is BYOB and there is a small 4-5 spot parking lot outside. Inside and outside seating. Seriously, everything is outrageous and a very nice variety on the menu.

I am knocking them down a star because we had a reservation for 5:15. But I had to go somewhere right after dinner so we arrived at 5. They wouldn’t take us even though the restaurant was mostly empty with only 1 table seated. While I understand and appreciate they want to pace the kitchen this was just obnoxious.
