    Event was overpriced for the food and show experience. I should have researched the venue before booking. The event takes place under an outdoor tent and you sit at folding tables and chairs much like a wedding reception. Tables are large - seat 12 - so difficult to have a conversation over the meal. I did not realize that children aged 10-12 were also charged at the adult price, which was a bit disappointing as my two kids ate from the kid buffet of mac and cheese and chicken nuggets. The adult buffet was satisfactory but nothing special. No desserts appropriate for kids.

    The food was excellent. Check in was a little awkward, requiring a wait in line to check-in, then a wait on the lawn area for the restaurant area, then another line to wait to be taken to your seats. The food was excellent and the performers were enthusiastic. The show isn't super authentic, but was enjoyable. The service was very good. I did take issue with our 11 year old being charged as an adult, and also being charged a fee for alcohol and sales tax on alcohol sales. Despite the fact they were billing for a minor, they say this is just how their billing works and they would not take the charges off. Adults are served unlimited mai tais, beer or wine, seemed like a rip-off to be charged this portion of the fees for a child.

    One of the best buffet dinners I've ever eaten. Fresh, creative, and diverse choices. I've now attended both the Disney Polynesian luau and the Wantilan luau and rate the Wantilan as better value for the money. Also recommend spending the extra money (less than $10 per person) for preferred seating at the first two tables to see the show up close. The dancers were amazing!

    If you are looking for an authentic luau then the Wantilan Luau is for you. Enjoy Hawaiian Treats including a pig roast, Johnny cakes, and pineapple desserts. The Dancing is great and I enjoyed the interaction with the audience. I loved the fire performance! Having been to a luau in Hawaii, the Wantilan luau is authentic and enjoyable. Great for the entire family.

    The food was fantastic, especially the Kahlua Pork. Our Mai tai glasses never went empty. The announcer of the show was great, and the dancers were wonderful. I really enjoyed it. Thanks, and Mahalo!

    Enjoyable experience. Food was nice and plentiful. Loved the Mai Tais. But overall I think it wasn't good value. It was shorter than I expected and not enough entertainment. I wouldn't do it again.

    It was all delicious, all the food was great. Then once the show began it was non stop and very entertaining. We did get there early to get a close table reserved and that was worth the wait. All in all, it was a lot of fun.

    My wife and I like it that said, the families with children the show did not keep them entertained, good thing we were outside lots of the kids played just outside the show area. The food was good and all you can eat up til the start of the show. The show was very nice too. Was a evening.
