'Ohana

Frommer's Review

Its star is earned on the fun front, but the decibel level here can get a bit overwhelming, especially for those looking for a relaxing evening out. Inside, you're welcomed as a "cousin," which fits because 'Ohana means "family" in Hawaiian. As your food is being prepared over an 18-foot fire pit, the staff keeps your eyes and ears filled with all sorts of shenanigans. The blowing of a conch shell summons a storyteller, coconut races get underway in the center aisle, and you can shed your inhibitions and shake it in the hula lessons. When it starts, the meal is served rapid fire (ask your waiter to slow the pace if it's too fast). The edibles include a variety of skewers (think shish kabob), including turkey, steak, and pork. Trimmings include assorted veggies, potatoes, fried wontons, salad, shrimp, and chicken wings all served up family style. A full bar offers limited wine selections (tropical alcoholic drinks are available for an added fee). Note: Ask for a seat in the main dining room, or you won't get a good view of the entertainment.
