    Filet mignon
    Cory Y.

    Came here a couple of times. Once for my birthday and once for mother's day. Both times were decent experiences, but the best of all is the koi pond that my kids love to look at and feed the fish. That is one of the main reasons why id come back here. The food is pretty good too, but the service is on the slower side. Especially on holiday type weekends. Like mothers day weekend, they should up their staff so they arent so slammed. I hate hearing the "oh we are so busy today" comment when business clearly know there will be increased business due to the holiday. Our service was pretty good except that we had to send back a steak as it was med rare when med well was ordered. They made it right and took it off the bill since it took so long. It took so long that my steak was cold by the time the other steak came back. I felt super bad for the party of 20 sitting near us. They were seated well before us, and got their food after us. I was with a patt of 4. But besides that, the food was great, and the environment us beautiful. You can see a super nice sunset at the right times. Just dont expect any AC. But will most likely be back. Mainly for the koi pond

    FOOD, LOCATION, AMBIANCE, SERVICE and quality - Longhi's has it all. First off, for those missing the Longhi's at Ala Moana (from many years ago) THIS is the place. Who knew? I've known and just didn't want to share. It's located at the Marriott Beach Club at Lagoon 4 at Ko'olina. Valet parking only unless you're staying there (then you have parking). Get your ticket validated and I believe it's $3.00. Then head down the stairs or elevator to the ground floor. You can opt for bar or table seating. I've taken all my off island friends and family here and they love it as much as I do. I've even had a private party here (that's how much I love the place). I've eaten my way through their menu and I can attest that everything is good here. I'm a "Benny," (eggs Benedict) kinda gal and it just never disappoints. Their crab cake apps is also a go-to if you're not that hungry but want a lil sum-sum. Add a mimosa to the order and it's perfection! Overall: favorite place to meet up with friends and family!

    Celebrated a friend's birthday here for brunch-- a perfect spot for any occasion. * Parking: Either valet or self-parking! Parking is validated through the restaurant. * Ambiance: Loved how the restaurant overlooked the beach. Very spacious outdoor seating. * Service: The staff was very attentive and accommodating, especially given the fact that we were a large group. * Food/Drink: By far my favorite dish was the crab salad. So so so fresh! And all the flavors and ingredients compliment each other perfectly. It was a large portion that can easily be shared or have the left overs taken to-go. Definitely would like to come back and try some of the dinner items!

    We were staying at the resort so we decided to have brunch at Longhi's since they are located on the resort and we liked the brunch so much that we went over for dinner the following night. The food was delicious and we received great service both times not to mention the view was absolutely beautiful.. I would highly recommend this restaurant to everybody who visits the resort or who is in the area!

    Staying at Marriott Ko Olina, we made a red at Longhi's in Ko Olina (on the property) and were immediately taken by the beautiful setting. The ambiance truly stands out--relaxing views of the koi pond, a gentle island breeze, and a peaceful atmosphere that makes for an enjoyable evening. Service from Christine was excellent. She was attentive, warm, and kept everything moving smoothly, which we really appreciated. As for the food and drinks, it was more of a mixed experience. I ordered the chicken parmigiana, which unfortunately fell flat. It lacked flavor, and the pasta--which was an extra $6--tasted like it came straight from a box. On the brighter side, the seared ahi was well-prepared and much more satisfying. The Old Fashioned was another miss for us, coming out overly sweet with a very large chunk of orange that overpowered the drink. Despite the inconsistencies, the setting and service helped balance the visit. With a few improvements in the kitchen and cocktail prep, Longhi's could easily match the quality of its beautiful location.

    First and foremost, I must commend the staff for their outstanding customer service and surprise, complimentary celebratory dessert. Valet with parking validation from restaurant up to 3 hours. Thereafter, $8 per every half an hour and not allowed to stay past 11 PM. We were done before the three hours. If the menu indicates warm French bread, I'm hoping to see it served in a basket with covered cloth napkin to preserve warmth. Delicious black lava salt honey butter made a huge difference. It was a hit especially with the younger generation. Grateful that the first serving is free. Thereafter, it's $5 per extra serving. Calamari tasted good by itself. Spicy Arrabiatta Sauce and Lemon Garlic Aioli tasted better on its own or separate. Seared Scallops and Creamy Pesto plus Shrimp Fettuccine Lombardi, both $44 for the quantity and number of ingredients doesn't match price point. This entree is a prime example of inflation in fine dining. Simple dish. Expected more flavors. I appreciate scallops from Maine and basil from Maui. I enjoy the ambiance, watching the sunset, observing Koi in the pond.

    Loco moco
    Marivic M.

    Really disappointed this time around. Our server was great! They sat us at our expected reservation time of 10 am. Our server took our order pretty quick... But, it's the food that did everything for us. Not too sure if there is a different head chef from 4 years ago, but the food was not great this time around. We order a burger, 2 loco mocos, a breakfast plate and the kids foods. The kids food tastes better than everything else we ordered and that's bad. Our patties were dry, no taste and needed seasoning. Our gravy on the loco moco was tasteless. The burger as well, it was lacking seasoning and my husband only ate half. I don't know if we will be back after what we just ate. They need a new menu or need to revamp what they are serving with a new cook. This was not worth what we paid for. We could have just ate at the market down the street. Really disappointing. :(

    Lilikoi pie. Amazing.
    Sandy C.

    Always a fantastic experience. Great bunch with a lot-I mean a lot- of choices...something for everyone. I usually order the lobster Benedict, but I switched it up and ordered the shrimp and crostini. My GF had the Reuben. Both were amazing! Dessert was lilkoi pie-oh my! Service was exceptional. Valet is only $3 (plus tip), so parking is a breeze.

    Fried zucchini, eggs Benedict, side of fruits, salad
    Tracy F.

    I wanted to feel healthy-ish and dainty while eating a hearty and yummy brekkie with my BFF and Longhi's totally hit the spot perfectly! Weather here in Oahu is perfect all year round so of course I want to eat outdoors while overlooking our beautiful West Side Ko Olina views. It's so rare that I can ever get a free Saturday morning so my bffs for weekly life group took a nice early Saturday Morning stroll through the lagoons and we enjoyed a nice dip in the water before we started getting hungry. Longhi's offers a perfectly relaxing yet upscale ambiance great for bonding with company. And everything I ordered was so darn yummy! I had zucchini fritta Potatoes crusted crab cake Caprese salad Crab cake Benedict Fruit bowl I would order all of these again and I'm coming back quickly !

    Longhi's never fails! We went for brunch today at 1 PM. I had a pasta dish and my husband had the ahí burger. The service is great! I love the views of the Koi pond and the ocean. We always valet our car when we go and get our parking validated. I do recommend sitting outside instead of inside for the views.

    Chicken Marsala and garlic potatoes
    Desirae C.

    Breakfast was five stars! Amazing and fresh fruit with the French toast was prepared perfectly! Coconut syrup was magical. Seriously, still thinking about the syrup! My plus one ordered the fish tacos because the menu is for all-day. The tacos were amazing with spicy coleslaw and ahi-tuna.. Very light and tasty. We had dinner here as well! Prawns with the jasmine rice and lemon sauce were subtle in flavor. Scallops were prepared exquisitely and they were flavorful. The Chicken Marsala with garlic mashed potatoes was excellent. Beautiful seating area that is open air and looks over the Koi pond and resort walkways. The prices are what you would expect at a popular resort. Good service, friendly staff.

    Beautiful setting
    Charlene M.

    The Marriot grounds and views- amazing! It's a great place to escape from everything. Longhi's staff- amazing! They were welcoming and friendly. Grilled shrimp tacos- amazing! The creamy slaw, tomatillo salsa and guacamole along with the grilled shrimp in a slightly crunchy corn tortilla- chef's kiss. I'll be back when I need an escape!

    Is there a bottle fee, should I want to bring my own wine?

    You cannot bring your own bottle to the restaurant bc they have a fully stocked bar.

    What is the latest in the parking issue? All the answers are a few years old and probably out of date. Hope my fellow Yelpers can provide the latest. Many thanks?

    Use the hotel valet. Longhis validates when you spend more than $40 and then your parking is like $4. Totally worth it because the beach cove parking fills up fast.

    Do you charge a corkage fee?

    Is breakfast served every day of the week?

    Yes

    Where do you park?

    There's valet parking at the Marriott where the restaurant is located, free up to 3 hours if you get the ticket validated at the restaurant.

    What time is happy hour from?

    pm15〜pm17 happy hour.

    What happened to the Ala Moana location?

    It closed unfortunately. Used to love going there.

    Are gift certificates from ala Moana Longhi's valid at Kapolei Longhi's?

    Yes it is also at all Longhi's Restaurant's in Hawai'i. Here's a side note when making your reservations request a scenic view and there best server also if you're celebrating a special occasion. Have a great experience!

    How is their Lobster Benedict? We loved the ones when Longhis was still located in Ala Moana

We were warmly greeted by the hostess who wished us a happy anniversary and were given the option to sit indoors or outdoors. We chose indoor and were seated promptly. The restaurant itself was pretty empty and we got a table by the window where we had a nice view of the golf course. Our server Bianca was super nice and gave us recommendations on the menu. We had the Crab Cakes, Crispy Brussel Sprouts, Chinatown Chicken Spring Rolls and the Honey Mustard Charred Beef Short Rib. Portion sizes were good and we were thoroughly surprised by how good the Spring Rolls and Beef Short Ribs were. The spring rolls were hot and crispy on the outside, but was a little different because it had a black bean sauce underneath which was a nice surprise. The beef short ribs were so tender and filling when paired with the mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables. At the end of our meal we were presented with a complimentary chocolate soufflé which was a surprise. The soufflé had a nice firm exterior with a nice soft soufflé on the inside and molten chocolate.

We always get their assorted appetizer (that is enough for 3-4 people) and their brussel sprouts! I can not go to Roy's without ordering their brussel sprouts. The past times I went there, I would order their chocolate molten cake which you would have to put in a order ahead of time and that is really good. I love coming to this location because of service and their menu.

To put it into perspective, there was a flash flood warning during a storm this week and I still drove 40 minutes just to pick up takeout from them. That's how worth it this place is to me. The portions here are insanely generous, especially for the price point. You get so much food, and the quality never feels compromised. The fish is consistently fresh, flavorful, and well prepared, which is why I keep coming back year after year. Their service is also incredibly efficient. You can tell this team really knows how to run a tight operation. They stayed open and adapted throughout COVID, and that ability to pivot and keep things running smoothly still shows in how quickly and reliably they handle orders today. If you wanna sit inside, I urge you to come towards open or with the expectation to wait a bit. You sign up on the clipboard outside and wait patiently. The good news is that they turntables extremely quickly. Places like this are rare--great food, great value, and a team that clearly cares about what they're doing. I'll always make the drive for Sushi Bay, and I genuinely hope they stay open forever.

Parking was good, and the overall vibe was chill, though it did get a bit noisy. The biggest issue was the condition of the restaurant. The place felt pretty run down. The floors were very dirty, the seats were torn and patched with electrical tape, and the windows were so dirty that we actually thought the restaurant had shut down one day when we were walking by. The bathrooms were also pretty gross, even for a casual bar/restaurant. I wanted to like it more because the food itself was good, but the cleanliness and upkeep really took away from the experience. They definitely need to do a better job maintaining the place. I'd probably only return if I heard they had cleaned up and refreshed the entire restaurant.

There were overhead fans above us and we noticed there were gnats peppering our table. The gnats continued to engulf the table making it look like a Dalmatian and this triggered my daughter with high stress and anxiety. We hadn't ordered drinks or food yet. I went back to the hostess and said that we would like to be relocated to a table toward the outer side of the restaurant and away from the fans that were blowing gnats on the table. They apologized for the recent bug infestation and I got a text from my wife saying that the server was in the process of moving us to another table. I had a hard time believing that the staff noticed this issue and didn't rectify it without me having to say that it was problematic. Then after we moved, it was another 15 minutes before a server asked for our drink order. It was simple, three iced teas and an apple juice. My daughter got her juice but the iced tea didn't come for another 15 minutes. We were 50 minutes into being seated and we hadn't ordered food so I had to go back to the hostess and ask for the manager. The menu here is prix fixe at $140 for a four course meal and this is not including a kids meal for my daughter and drinks. I told the manger that I thought the service here was unacceptable and that we hadn't ordered our food or got our drinks almost an hour into service. He was apologetic and immediately met with the servers in the kitchen. We finally got our iced teas and the server said they were "special" and it was pineapple juice added to them, like a tropical Arnold Palmer. Here's a suggestion, please don't add stuff to our drinks. I know he was trying to be polite, but it was not very good. So our orders were taken almost an hour after being seated. At least there were no bugs where we were seated. My daughter was itchy and wouldn't stop scratching after the bug attack from our initial seating. I left and went to the Aulani amenities store inside the lobby of the hotel and returned with Benadryl. At this point my daughter just wanted to go back to the room and was exhausted. I too was a little disappointed at the overall night. I was celebrating my birthday and retirement, and this was not the special dinner I was expecting. When I got back to the hotel room, my wife texted that they were getting the meal "to go" and heading on their way back. Our server had mentioned that they were going to provide 2 of our meals gratis and I wanted to make sure my wife knew this. She said they didn't charge for the meal at all. I think the restaurant was worried about my daughter having a medical issue and asked if we needed help. I feel like the restaurant had observed our continual dismay and noted things they observed but took no active action to resolve along the way. For a high end restaurant, customer service is as important if not more important than the food. By the way, my wife brought back our food to the hotel room and it was less than stellar. The portions were scant, the scallops undercooked, and the catch of the day which was Hawaiian Ono caught locally was overcooked and dry. So service aside, the food was not particularly spectacular. I hope Yelpers pay attention to my review and really think twice about eating here. Just because it's inside the Aulani Resort, it doesn't mean that it's good. Dinner tonight was an epic failure. Even if they didn't charge us, it was an unpleasant experience not worth repeating. I have not included any photos in my review due to my utter dismay.

    This was our second time here. I believe after covid it changed. The food is brought to table, and…read morethe malasadas were my favorite part. The best on island, better than Leonard's in my opinion. The dough was so soft and bread was sweet, no toughness at all. The food was good, my daughter had waffles, a drink, malasada and fruit that came with her meal. She was so happy and so was I. The characters are great with interaction. I noticed them interacting with everyone, not just the standard hi and bye but went above and beyond to make experiences at each table. They made us feel special. There was live music, she also interacted with the crowd and her singing just elevated the entire experience. This place is not only for food, but to experience the Disney magic and I definitely felt that here. A must if you're staying at Aulani.

    This has been our 4th visit to Makahiki as we usually do dinner reservations at least once during…read moreour Aulani stay. Service is always top notch and we always leave with lots of leftovers. I never have done the character breakfast so this review is purely for their dinner experience. I kinda wish though that they change up the menu more as I recall the menu not changing much each time we visit. The dinner menu is a set 3 course meal where you have to pick an appetizer, main entree, and dessert. The kids have a set 3 course meal to choose from as well. This time I ordered their ahi tuna special, which so happened to be the special over 2 years ago lol! I chose their corn chowder as my appetizer and honestly after the cheesy bread rolls and soup, I was pretty stuffed by the time my entree came. It was still a lot of food, and I only took like 3 bites before o threw in the towel. As for the dessert, I chose the dulce de leche cheesecake, which deviates from the usual Mickey brownie with ice cream that I ordered. I still prefer the brownie now that I've tried both. Ambiance is nice and I actually prefer the outdoor seating because I find the architecture and landscape of the resort so beautiful. Overall a solid Disney dining experience, with large portions all around. Definitely worth trying at least once especially if you're staying at the resort!

Often not something you may consider, but they have all of the freshest ingredients, from a top quality grocery store! Great service, Chuck Chuck was amazing. Others stopped by the table as well, to ensure waters were filled and to just show aloha. Check out the delicious photos!

    What a surprise and absolute treat to have lunch at Mahi Ai Table inside Foodland Farms. I wasn't…read moreexpecting much when I walked in, but wow--this place delivered. I started with the Beef Luau, and omg. A steaming bowl of tender luau leaves with little "trinket-sized" bites of beef, rich and flavorful. And yes, I had to order a side of rice--because you just gotta have rice with this kind of dish. Then came the real dilemma: Fish & Chips or the Wagyu Short Rib Loco Moco. The only logical solution? ORDER BOTH. No regrets. Every bite was worth it. A huge shoutout to Chuck--one of the most knowledgeable, funny, and genuinely kind people I've met in this business. You can tell he loves what he does, and it shows in the service and the vibe he creates. And Al, who I believe is the manager--what a fun guy. For someone who hasn't been here long, he runs a tight ship. The staff is happy, helpful, and works together like a well-oiled machine. The energy in this place is just good. They've even got live music at 5pm and a solid pupu menu. This is way more than a one‑stop shop. I'll definitely be back to try more--especially the dessert menu. Ooh man. Thank you, Chuck, for an awesome lunch experience. And Al--keep up the great work. Marie
