which of these two restaurants?

mousemom · 07-23-2008

I need your opinion on which restaurant to choose for dinner. I have not eaten at any of them so I need you input. Our choices are Tony's in MK or Kona at Poly. Please help my decision. Thanks

I love them both!

If I was going to choose 1, I would choose Kona. We tried Kona for the first time recently, and the whole family loved it. The food was great, the service was great. So great in fact, our waiter encouraged us to order a larger portion for my son, thinking he would not be satisfied with the smaller portion. He couldn't begin to eat it all.. so she totally took it off our bill. We didn't want her to, but she did anyway.. that is service!

We have thoroughly enjoyed Tony's but it doesn't get as great reviews as Kona. Still good food though, and our service was Super.

We love them both also. Tony's' keeps you in the MK, with a nice view, and then right back into the park. the food is good, and we have had great service there. Kona is equally good. Have had great food and service there, and it does get you away from the park for a little while, yet you are only 2 stops away from the MK by mono-rail. I think like Daisee, would have to vote for Kona

I haven't been to Tony's in years (I think 1997 was our last time) but we enjoyed it. We also like Kona, good food and good service. The only thing I think Kona lacks is a good atmosphere, it's ok but I kind of feel like I'm in the lobby and it tends to be loud. Kona gets better reviews but I think they are both a good choice.

We've been to Tony's but not Ohana...

Tony's was just OK, and we've only been once. Usually, if we plan to dine in MK, we pick Liberty Tree Tavern, because its a character meal for my son and its not as crazy as the character breakfasts.

KarenT · 07-23-2008

I agree with DT about the atmosphere of Kona-
But I like the food much better than Tony's. We ate at Tony's once and it was OK nothing special. Don't think we would go back.
We really enjoyed Kona and would return.

parkhopper · 07-23-2008

Sorry, not Ohana, I meant Kona...

joseph3947 · 07-23-2008

I like them both so do lunch at Kona and dinner at Tony's!
Not necessarily in the same day, though you could.

Enjoy the characters while they last because after the first of the year the characters will no longer be at LTT.

We have been to Tony's and really liked it.

I have nevery eaten at Tony's so I would say Kona. My hubby and I had a wonderful late night dinner there last year with 2 sleeping kids. They gave us a booth in a quiet area so that one could sleep on the booth and one could sleep in the stroller. It almost felt like we were on a date with no kids!! They went out of there way to help us!! Food and Drinks were great!! Try it, you will not be disappointed!

lovemysons · 07-23-2008

Kona gets my vote too. I agree with DT, the atmosphere isn't the best, but we always have a wonderful meal there, and oh boy, the desserts!! :)

**llama** · 07-23-2008

We like both, but I think Kona wins for us. The atmosphere of Tony's is fun - but the atmosphere of Kona is friendly and relaxed too and I think the food is better.

momofaprincess · 07-23-2008

Another vote for Kona!!! We liked Tony's too. We had great service and the food wasn't bad but the food at Kona, we thought, was so much better!

BuzzLightyear · 07-23-2008

We have nevere been to either.
But we are trying Tony's for the first time this year so that is my pick.
