Kona Cafe
at the Poly…
Stopped in to have a quick lunch. I have always been a fan of Ohana’s which is also at the Polynesian so I wanted to try the Kona Cafe. I dropped in without a reservation and was seated quickly. I ordered the Polynesian Plate Lunch – $14.99
The Pan-fried Chicken with Coconut and Mango Sauces with Sticky Rice and Macaroni Salad. The presentation was a little blah but the meal was FANTASTIC!
The waitress was great. She was attentive without being annoying. The usual kids-fare choices were available and a little Kona coffee for dessert made for a great end to the meal. The only place it falls short is the atmosphere. It is on the second floor and open to the lobby. If they closed it off it would have a more intimate feel. Regardless that small detail I will be back!

Kona is one if not our favorite place for breakfast. The fact that it is open is one of the strong points for us. We usually eat at some of the finer (AKA more $$) restaurants which tend to more intimate. Its fun just to sit down in the “cafe” atmosphere, relax with a good cup of Kona coffee and have normal conversation. Its a different welcome atmosphere.

That’s true also. I can see it from your point of view. It just seemed very noisy the day I was there. I have heard great things about their breakfast from others also. I will have to try that out too!
