The Ohana Experience at Pono Hawaiian Grill Is the Most Fun You Can Have at Dinner in Santa Cruz
Pono Hawaiian Grill just leveled up the dinner experience in Santa Cruz and all you have to do is ask for it.
Santa Cruz Vibes Magazine and Pono teamed up to bring the Ohana Experience to Santa Cruz County. Live Hawaiian music. Leis. An interactive dice game. Light-up surprises. And food straight from owner Timmy's home island of Maui.
This is not your standard dinner out.
What Is the Ohana Experience
You walk in, you ask for it, and Pono takes care of the rest.
The Ohana Experience layers Hawaiian culture on top of an already great meal. The music sets the vibe, the leis make it feel like an event, and the interactive dice game keeps the energy going throughout the night. It is the kind of dinner where you put your phone down and actually pay attention to the people you are with.
Pono is already known for fresh poke bowls, Hawaiian BBQ, island-style cocktails, and live music featuring legendary Hawaiian artists. The Ohana Experience takes all of that and turns it into something even more memorable.
