I am currently planning a family vacation next year with two of my little picky eaters and Dole plantation is in our list. But I want to take them to this little gem for lunch that I ate at years ago when I first visited Oahu and Dole Plantation. I just remembered asking our guide where he was going for lunch and he responded saying to the real buffet. As a tourist I wasn't quiet sure what buffet he was referring to as Dole Plantation didn't have a buffet. So my friend and I followed him and I'm so glad we did! Ok that was over 10 years ago and I still remember what I ate because it was that good: rice, chicken long rice, fried chicken and ice cream. I also remember lots of uniformed soldiers making a stop of lunch. I can't wait to support this wonderful cafe and planation on our future visit! And oh I don't remember paying so much to eat here either!

Great holiday event Hawaiian style! They also sell fresh wreaths that are circular or candy cane shape!

We trusted the web site, which shows open today (Monday) 9:00 3:00. No, after an hour plus on the bus, we found the gate chained closed. Called then, to be told they’re closed for renovation this week, open next week but I’m skeptical, would call ahead. We always come here at least once during our annual visits to Hawaii; usually have a car, but not this time. The food is good and we like to support them, so disappointed this time.
