Very, Very good food at Ohana Grill. We had Salmon special, fried shrimp bowl and pan-seared Ahi and all were exceptional. Service was very nice but seemed a little bit rushed. Recommended.

Food was delicious! We can’t wait to go back. Mike our server was great! The place is small with a semi open kitchen.

Unfortunately this time they failed, I was there with the family a party of 6 on Sunday 8/4 with a 5 pm reservation. My grandson orders pasta with butter sauce. The dish was just plain penne overcooked and a piece of butter on top. I had seafood rice with scallops. The scallops were almost raw. The rice was tasteless. That all did not bother us as much as the waiter attitude. He was by far the worst server I encountered. When we addressed our food comments he showed no care or concern about it

We will visit again for appetizers and dessert!! The Cheviche and warmed-goat cheese crustini were outstanding, and service was phenomenal. The kitchen is open to the dining room, but rather than being interesting or inviting for the diners to observe, it was loud and chaotic. The food was not horrible, but unusual food combinations (such as Mahi Mahi paired with fried artichoke hearts and drenching glazes over a perfect filet) and unequal portion sizes (massive t-bone, quite petite serving of lobster ravioli) left us all a bit perplexed. Reservations needed. BYOB.

Came tonight after many of our neighbors raved about this place. We had the avocado bites, chowder and wedge to start both were delicious! For entrees we had the poke bowl, the chicken bowl and the mahi special. The coconut rice was very undercooked, it was crunchy, but the rest of the bowls were very good. The mahi special was inedible. The lemon sauce was clearly over reduced and was bitter. I mentioned to the server and the kitchen said nobody else was complained which I find hard to believe. Our server was wonderful and everything else was great. Disappointed with the quality from the kitchen for a place that has such rave reviews.

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!

We enjoyed dinner as a group of four at Ohana. The take reservations, and service was friendly and prompt. The highlights of the night were the spicy salmon bowl, lobster and corn bisque, and clam chowder. And for everything that wasn’t a favorite, it was still amazing. And don’t forget the cheesecake!

We (a party of 4) had dinner last Thursday (3-7-24). We decide to select our dinner choices from the fixed-price menu being offered that evening. EVERYTHING was wonderful. In reading the other reviews, they truly reflect our own dining experience. This is going to sound a little weird, but I have found this to be true. If the restaurant proprietor (as in this case) provides a restroom facility that goes beyond just clean and tidy, I believe the same attention to detail carries over to every aspect of the restaurant, from food preparation to presentation. Truth be told, I used the facility early in the evening. I can’t speak to what it may look like at the end of a busy summer Saturday service, but its condition would reflect more on the customer comportment. Final note, I’m about an hour away, but it is well worth the drive. GREAT RESTAURANT!
