Alohana Hawaiian Grill - San Leandro

OK wow where do I start? The Dip Trio was absolutely amazing. 10 out of 10 if you're a cheese lover or dip lover which I am both. The service was great with Jessica. She was attentive and ready to go! I asked them to mix strawberry and mango for my blended margarita and they did just that it was soooo good although I didn't really feel anything lol, next time I'll add a shot. We also had the chicken bacon quesadillas and the chicken crispers. 10/10. Who are they competing with because they are definitely stepping their game up! I wasn't expecting it to be this good! Go Chili's ! The ambience was just fine for Chili's quiet during lunchtime .

After a round of golf we wanted to try the 3 for Me $10.99 for appetizer, drink and entree. We don't usually eat at these chain restaurants but it was close by so decided to try it. The reviews for this Chili's in San Leandro's was not that great but figured we try it ourselves. There was 8 of us and we all ordered the $10.99 menu. Appetizers were soup, salad or salsa/chips. All 8 of us either ordered burger or fried chicken sandwich (came with crispy french fries) and a large bottomless drink of ice tea, lemonade or soda. The portions on appetizers and the main entree are very good. Even the guys were full after a good size portion of soup and the salsa/chips are bottomless too. The burger and fried chicken sandwich was good for most of us. Only 1 of the 8 people said that their burger was dry, overcooked. We were served by 3 different servers so it was a little confusing. The server taking our order was very attentive and he also brought us all water and the drinks we ordered. Then another server brought out the appetizers so of course didn't know who ordered what? Then another server brought out the main dish? A little confusing and really didn't know who was our server and when we wanted to ask for more bottomless salsa/chips we didn't know who to flag down? Maybe this is the reason Yelpers say the service is bad. It's actually not that bad but can be very confusing. Chain restaurant but it felt clean and I'd return again. It was great for 8 people to be able to chit chat and they let us sit quite a while after we finish eating.

It really does very by location. For example we went to Fremont chili yesterday we ordered the mozzarella sticks which came with a huge order of marinara sauce, as you see in the picture, I posted the difference in the cup sizes of marinara, and then this location in San Leandro. We ordered for delivery and that's all that came with those bricks of mozzarella which I love, but not enough sauce, we ordered two orders of the mozzarella sticks And it came with two tiny marinara sauces as you see that's not enough sauce, kind of disappointed; but we'll see how they taste, well, we just tasted them, and they taste so good exactly the same lightly breaded cheese is melted to perfection, and my only complaint is not enough marinara sauce kudos to the kitchen!

Bar tender was cool she was doing the best she could working alone But the restaurant was disgustingly filthy Food is mediocre at best Cajun chicken pasta Dry White cheese spinach dip BURNT YUCK Chips were broke Hella tiny pieces of chips not even big enough to dip Lots of places to sit But the tables were dirty with left over food and garbage Tried sitting on the other side of the bar but there was a puddle on the floor It's not a good look when your server has hickies on his neck and is wearing gloves but keep on touching his long hair that is not in a net yet he is serving your food to you Safe serve 101
