Editorial Review for Kona Cafe – by Mary Meehan
The Scene
Replacing the coffee shop in the Polynesian Resort, Kona benefits from Disney's push to upgrade its food from standard corporate fare. (i.e., extra-tough burgers and chicken that can bounce.) It's still a relatively well-kept secret, meaning no unbearably long lines. But to be on the safe side, call for priority seating.
The Food
The quality and flair of the fare compares with the California Grill--lots of fresh, seasonal ingredients blended with care. Specialties include Asian noodle soup and a selection of pasta dishes and sandwiches. The uniformly outstanding desserts vary from day to day and are arranged on a stone countertop in the center of the restaurant. There's also Kona coffee (along with an array of other flavors) plus a decent selection of wine, another advantage Kona has over other Disney eateries.

The food here is very good considering it's a hotel restaurant. In fact, the food was better than the food we got at Disney's Hollywood Studio's Brown Derby restaurant, which was far more expensive than the Kona Cafe. The service was quick, desserts were delicious, but the alcoholic drinks were a bit cheap with the alcohol content. I am a light-weight when it comes to drinking and I didn't even get a buzz off their $8.25 drink (which the waiter told me would be a fabulous drink).
Pros: Food
Cons: Noisy place--have to shout to your dinner companions to be heard

I do not plan a trip to Orlando without booking a reservation at the Kona Cafe. Whether by myself, or with my children, I have always had a wonderful experience. Wait staff very friendly, food comes out quickly, appetizers, entrees, desserts all to die for. I would highly recommend to anyone.
Pros: Ambience, parking, service, food.
Cons: wish they had tables that overlooked the lake to see fireworks.
