The 'Ohana restaurant (meaning family) is open for breakfast and dinner each day and is situated on the second floor of the Great Ceremonial Longhouse. At breakfast time you can enjoy the 'Ohana Character Dining with Lilo & Stitch.

In the evening, the 'Ohana provides a family-style all-you-can-eat Polynesian feast with the food cooked over an amazing 18 foot long open fire pit in the center of the restaurant. The menus have a Hawaiian flavor to them with appetizers, grilled meat and seafood specialties.

The Kona Cafe is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and serves American-style breakfasts followed by more Asian-styled lunches and dinners. Don't miss Auntie Kaui's Tonga Toast for breakfast.

As its name suggests, the Kona Cafe also brew a great cup of Kona coffee. It is also situated on the second floor of the Great Ceremonial Longhouse.
