It's not cheap, but it is delicious! The food is plated beautifully, and despite the smaller portions it left us very satisfied. The service was amazing. Very attentive staff who were happy to help with any request. To top it off the view of the beach sunset from our dining table was beautiful.
Top fine dining experience in Disney Aulani. We did the tasting menu with wine pairing (they have 18 unique wines selected for each dish option of the menu) and didn't regret it. On top of great food, wine and service, our dinner was accompanied by stunning sunset views and great live music.
Long overdue Review for 'Ama'Ama!
'Ama'Ama - To me it's one of the best fine dinning out all of Disney resorts!
My husband and I celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary here back in November, and it was beyond our expectation as it was recently opened.
Food: The food was amazing for a tasting menu. I'm glad we were able to do the tasting menu because everything that we had was amazing!
Service: The service from check-in in with the front to our service throughout the dinner was spectacular! The staff members here take their time and have conversations with you, which was amazing. Getting to know the back story of 'Ama'Ama and some of them even gave us recommendations for things to do around the island.
View: We had an amazing view, facing out to the Lagoon into the ocean, it was breath taking during sunset.
It may seem expensive, it is worth the experience you're going to get.
Overall my husband and I had an amazing time here at 'Ama'Ama and we would definitely come back!
Incredible meal this evening - one of the highlights of our trip to Hawaii. The customer service was exceptional. We have been to many high end restaurants and very few are as attentive, friendly and welcoming as the team of cast members in Ama Ama. The setting is beautiful, looking out to panoramic views of the lagoon. Highly recommend booking an earlier 5pm meal as you get to enjoy the sunset in the background. Nothing was too much trouble - service was very smooth between courses, drinks constantly topped up and most importantly to us, was how friendly and welcoming the cast members were. Kapua had amazing energy and was so nice to chat to sharing stories! Ashton was so kind too and everyone really made us feel like we were the only table there. Trevor was super enthusiastic taking photos for us and the rest of the team were faultless.
Ears off (it is Disney after all) to the team of chefs behind the scenes. The food was incredible, one of, if not, the best meals we’ve ever had (including some which have been far more expensive). Even down to the freshly baked bread, amuse bouche and the finer details such as the intricate presentation. It was an experience and worth every cent!
The environment is calm, relaxing and not too formal.
We are here last week and the food was good. The views at sunset are amazing and the wait staff was exceptional. I read that they used to do an a la carte menu and I think that would be better. I usually like to try multiple appetizers at a place like this. Overall, the food and wine pairing was on point and very good. This may have been the only place I wish I had not gone with the local catch plate, only because it was good but nothing special. The smoked fish appetizer was probably my favorite thing out of what anyone had at the table. The octopus risotto was excellent and perfectly cooked. I would have almost eaten every appetizer and starter and skipped the main course.
We spend our anniversary dinner here every year, but have been gone for 4 years.
pleasantly surprised to see a new menu, remodeled open area, and to see our ohana Ashton again!
Dinner was EXCEPTIONAL, the view overlooking the lagoon was perfect. See you next year Ashton and Ama Ama
Ama Ama is an unforgettable experience. We ate here several years ago when they had the steamed fish that was reminiscent of lau lau. It was hands down the best steamed fish either of us had ever eaten.
We were hoping to have the dish again but they changed their menu to a four course dinner. We decided to go for it and it was the best decision!
Heather was our server and Kula assisted her. They were fantastic. Exceptional customer service. We started with the mango and honey signature cocktails. They were awesome. We both chose the smoked fish for our first course. It was excellent. 2nd choice was the poke and octopus with risotto. Both were great. We both chose the island fish for our main dish. It was perfect! We had the citrus and chocolate desserts. Everything was super delicious. The ambiance is calm, romantic, and quiet. Highly recommend. We will definitely return.
Spectacular experience. Sat outside as sun set over the ocean and lagoon. Servers were attentive, professional and yet fun and relatable. Menu was an epicurean delight and the wine list was extensive as well as an offering to try wine pairing. We had a fabulous meal our entree was the lamb. Double chop cooked to perfection. Our salad was in green goddess and a delight for the palette. Dessert was Coconut Flan and chocolate mouse. Do not miss this venue. Chef Nicholas has a gift! His food is part local with a surprise of flavors coming from eclectic pairings. Do not miss!!!!!
One of the best meals we've ever had. Came here on our honeymoon and got the wine pairing with our meal, definitely worth it. Staff was extremely helpful and attentive, but not over bearing. Also had several members of the management team stop by to see how our meal was. Got the exact seat with a view of the sunset that we requested ahead of time, would definitely come back.
I had an absolutely stunning meal at Ama Ama. One of the best and most memorable of my life. The food was out of this world delicious, the service was above and beyond on every level, and the views were so gorgeous that I MAY have teared up. Maybe. Who could say for sure (I did.)
My family and I came to Aulani for the day to visit and have dinner at Ama Ama for my birthday and it was probably the best decision I have ever made. We got a seat right by the window which allowed us unparalleled views of the sun setting over the Pacific.
Every single item we ordered was mouthwateringingly tasty. Corn soup, pasta, fish, beef, dessert...all of it was outstanding. Rest assured that no matter what you choose it will be amazing.
Our waitress was so wonderful and when she found out it was my birthday she brought me over a special dessert and pin to commemorate the occasion. She made an already lovely dinner better.
I HIGHLY recommend eating here, you won't regret it. In fact it might be one of the best meals of your life.
Outstanding experience! Food was delicious! Wine pairing was spot on. Absolutely recommend! Great wait staff. Eric was great!! Go at sunset - what a view!
The plant based pasta was AMAZING. The vegan sausage was so well done and the noodles them selves were super flavorful. At first I thought the portion sizes looked a bit small for the price but it was super filling. The services was good. They were pretty attentive and polite.
This is the "expensive" restaurant at the Aulani Resort and Spa! You have a Gorgeous view of the lagoon, and it's open air and no air conditioning, but still cool and comfortable. The food prices are a bit pricy, but the quality and taste is great. Even the portion sizes are ample! Here's a few photos of our breakfast!
Beautiful restaurant in paradise. Loved the breakfast here and the atmosphere was relaxed and well themed without being in-your-face Disney. Food was fresh a tasted wonderful. Kids meals were cute though on the smaller side for children in-between the two menu options.
Great food, beautifully presented, knowledgeable and friendly wait staff. But all of that is secondary to the AMAZING view! The view at sunset is like being in a post card! We could hardly believe it was real!
