It looks like there are some other DVC members here now helping with food info too. We ate at Shutters our first night, and we thought it was very good too. My husband had the pork tenderloin, and it was fantastic. They also have burgers and regular food items on that menu. The banana, chocolate chip bread pudding dessert was to die for... it came with vanilla sauce, extra chocolate chips, and caramel sauce. I also really liked the corn bread.
On Wednesday night, Shutters was closed because there was a wedding in the conference room, so they had a buffet in the Green Cabin Room for $19 for adults. I think it was around $12 for the kids. It was a bummer because we wanted Shutters food again, however, we really enjoyed the buffet. They had beef tenderloin, chicken cacciatore, pesto pasta with shrimp, cooked veggies, potatoes (much like the really good breakfast ones), and salad. There could have been more...everyone liked it.
There is a Grab and Go near the lobby, but I keep hitting the breakfast buffet and haven't made it all the way down in the morning. I will try to remember to check it out in the morning just for fun.
I also tried the food by the pool today with my hubby and son. We ordered burgers and hot dogs which were also very good. We have gone into town to eat at a few places too, but we have been satisfied by the food at the resort, and we are very picky. We were not happy at all with the food at Aulani, and my DH and I both agreed that it was better here even with the restaurants under construction, and it was more affordable.
On a side note, we loved this resort and plan on hitting it every year now. There is so much to do here for the kids, but it is also laid back and so relaxing with the beautiful ocean. I can't say enough good things about our stay here so far. I will be sad to leave on Sunday!
