    Service was great, food... Meh... Not worth the $650 for 4 people. The appetizer Brussel Sprouts were good. Chocolate Souffle was good. The Scallops were good. The cab rib eye was over cooked, we had them take it back. The stuff shrimp was meh. The appetizer Butterfish was good, the appetizer smoked ribs were not fall off the bone & meh.

    Ribeye

    Roy's was our second restaurant in Hawaii for our honeymoon. We walked across the street from Aulani to the lovely country club/golf course where this restaurant resides. First off I gotta say that more restaurants should do a bowl of seasoned edamame instead of complementary bread. I could not stop eating these, they were addicting. Our waiter was wonderful and the service was great. The food was delicious for the most part save for my wife's ribeye. It was a bit of a miss in my book. It was way over charred, but my wife didn't seem to mind. Our surf and turf cooked sushi rolls were really good. My meal, the bacon jam scallops, was also inventive and delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience outside was lovely with a great view of the pristine Ko Olina golf course at Twilight.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All and all I would love to come back here should I find myself in Ko Olina again.

    Chinatown Chicken Spring Rolls and Hawaii Kai Style Crispy Crab Cakes

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Made lunch reservations for our anniversary at Roy's Ko Olina and was amazed by the service, view and food presented.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were warmly greeted by the hostess who wished us a happy anniversary and were given the option to sit indoors or outdoors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We chose indoor and were seated promptly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself was pretty empty and we got a table by the window where we had a nice view of the golf course.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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. What a perfect way to end the meal. Amazing service and I look forward to coming back again!

    Ahi burger with garlic fries

    My family and I came to celebrate my MIL's birthday for Sunday brunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was not busy and lots of space to sit at. We had a nice view of people golfing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The hostess was very nice and sat us quickly. She also showed us where the restroom was. The service was on point. He was very friendly and explained the menu very well. He also recommended us what food were good which we ended up choosing. The food/drink runners were also great! The kids menu was amazing!!! They had a cute appetizer set that came quickly. The food portion was enough for my children and they loved it. It also came with a dessert after. I got the ahi burger which was flavorful. 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.

    Prime Rib Sandwich
    Justin S.

    We came here for my brother's birthday, almost make it a tradition every time we're in the area and it sucks to say that Roy's has fallen off. For lunch I ordered a prime rib sandwich which came out overdone. The bread was soggy and not toasted and the fries I had to switch out because they were regular as opposed to garlic fries. Our server seemed like he didn't want to be there, even though he came off with a nice demeanor it seemed like he was overworked and didn't really give me good vibes. Only saving grace was the matcha creme brûlée which is why I give this location 2/5 instead of 1 star. Which was once a tradition is now more of something we have to move on from. Hopefully Roy's can turn it around in both service and food.

    Plantation Paella
    Andrew W.

    Roy's Ko Olina is one of our go to spots for date night whenever we're visiting family, and it never disappoints. The service is consistently good, and we always love when we're able to sit out on the lanai. The restaurant itself isn't anything over the top visually. It definitely matches the golf clubhouse vibe of the area. That said, the food is always the star here. My partner never strays from the Plantation Paella, and for good reason. It's packed with flavor and incredibly satisfying. I always go for the honey mustard short rib, which is rich, tender, and full of bold, delicious flavor. The drinks are solid as well, whether you're in the mood for a sweetened iced tea or something to take the edge off. We always finish with the macadamia nut tart for dessert. It takes a little time, but it's absolutely worth the wait every single time. Overall, Roy's Ko Olina is a reliable favorite for a relaxed but memorable date night.

    Normally, we go just for a meal but this time it was my bday and we were in Oahu...So husband took me to Roy's. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat outside to enjoy the views and get some vitamin D since we are not getting any younger.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was a Lent Friday so this was the pace to go for meat free options. Delilah our server was nice and attentive. We had the crab cakes and shrimp cocktail for dessert. I had the butterfish and my husband had the macadamia fish entree with Clase Azul tequila while I had 2 lilikoi mimosas.

    Bacon Scallops w/ yukari musubi and Hoisin Grilled Lamb Chops
    Raena N.

    My bf made reservations for us to come here to celebrate our anniversary and this instantly became one of my favorite restaurants. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We chose to sit out on the balcony which overlooks the looking golf course.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The night we came, we had someone playing live music by the bar[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and the entire staff we've encountered was super friendly and outstanding! They served us seasoned edamame upon us sitting down, which was tasty. We chose to go with the butterfish as our appetizer and it was amazing! I almost wish I ordered it as an entree but kinda glad I didn't as I enjoyed my scallops so much! My bf got the lamb and was really impressed with it. I personally don't care too much for lamb as it often has a gamey taste, but the lamb was seasoned very well and didnt taste gamey at all! They did give us the dessert menu early as the waiter mentioned it takes about 25-30 minutes to make, so we decided to go with the Mac nut tart. The tart was really soft and yummy and it was definitely nice that they gave us a complimentary crème brûlée for our anniversary. My bf and I are definitely going to come back!

    Brie. So amazing.

    Chocolate soufle
    Leo P.

    Came here to celebrate me and my wife's anniversary. We went lunch time so it wasnt that busy. The sevice was excellent. The food was amazing also. The manager even came to check on us which made us feel really welcome. Would definitely come back again.

    Golden hour prix fixe course 3 - Chocolate Soufflé, Raspberry Coulis, Vanilla Ice Cream
    Keala S.

    We made a reservation for a Thursday night at 7:30 pm. It wasn't too busy, and we were seated outside. The atmosphere was nice - soft lighting, not noisy, and you could see the golf course a little. We ordered: Golden Hour Prix Fixe - Hands down the best deal on the menu. For about $100, you get a full 3-course meal that's very filling. The hamachi and rib appetizers were rich, and the pickled veggies balanced everything out perfectly. The filet was cooked to order with gorgeous grill marks and paired with flavorful roasted veggies. The real standout was the potato and cauliflower galette--so unique and delicious! Dessert was the chocolate soufflé made to order. It did take about 25 minutes after the entrée, but honestly, the time flew by. Baked Brie en Croute for Two - So good! It comes wrapped in puff pastry with honey, poached apples, and mac nuts for crunch. A generous portion, definitely shareable between 2-4 people. Beni's Philly Roll - Not what you'd traditionally expect, but delicious. The bonito flakes added a fun texture, and the rice had a seasoned, slightly brown color that really stood out. Service was excellent throughout the night. After appetizers, we were given moist towelettes to clean up, our waters were consistently filled, and they even offered tea and coffee with dessert. Food came out perfectly paced. They also thoughtfully packed our leftovers in a to-go box and bag. Since we were celebrating our anniversary, the staff went above and beyond. They surprised us with banana pudding tarts decorated with "Happy Anniversary," which really made the night special. This also ended up being a surprise proposal and the staff were able to film it for us. And we are so grateful! The food was delicious, but the true standout was the service--warm, attentive, and thoughtful. They made our anniversary dinner one to remember.

    Went for lunch and the menu is quite different from their dinner menu. We started with their dim sum appetizer for two. Next, we ordered a hot beef pastrami sandwich and not on the lunch menu (we had some insider info) haha we asked and ordered their dinner lamb chops.

    What time does aloha hour start?

    3:00-5:00

    What is their wine corkage fee?

    Appears to be $25 per bottle with a two bottle limit.

    Can I wear a plain black t-shirt with nice jeans, black shoes and all black hat?

    I'm not sure what the actual policy is for attire but when my family and I went to dinner one of our guests wore a plain gray tshirt with jeans and sneakers so I'm pretty sure you'll be ok.

    What time is their happy/aloha hour?

    When we went in December, the aloha happy hour was 3:00-5:00 pm. Please contact the restaurant to… 

    How formal should I dress for dinner time, is a form fitting black dress with heels too much?

    I’ve seen super dressy and nice casual every time I go. I love to dress up, don’t get a lot of chances and Roy’s is my excuse. Your outfit sounds lovely-either way you will feel comfortable.

    Do we need reservations?

    It would be a good idea, particularly if you want a window table, which I recommend.

    Is there live music?

    Yes, there was live music on the outside patio area....great guitarist!

    How casual is casual here?

    It's next to a golf club and the inside decor is slightly worn. Men- I would "dress up" with a aloha shirt at the most. Ladies- sundress at the most. Hope this helps

Food and drinks came out quickly and everything was amazing. I took off a star for pricing. We each got a drink and we shared fish and chips and our bill was $100 with tip. We felt that was a bit steep for sharing a meal and having 1 drink each. My friends who live on the Island said that other locations were way cheaper, so it's a bummer this one was more expensive. I'm assuming it's because it's across from Aulani. We noticed that the menu here was more expensive than eating at Aulani, so next time we'll probably just stay at the resort. Either way, food and experience were great but we probably won't return because of the pricing.

The Pork Ribs were actually the closest to previous pictured plates - tasted like "salt and vinegar" instead of "salt and pepper" - still skimpy (little meat covering huge bone inside)! Their "garlic noodles" had so much garlic that I'm sure that Vampires and Draculas will stay away from me for a week. The rice tasted like "day-old refrigerated" rice which was microwaved. I becomes solid if not eaten immediately. So shame. I can't imagine the other selections are any better so I'll just refrain from returning again.

The hotel is pretty secluded compared to being right in the city, but if you don't mind a walk, is close to a small shopping center with a few other food places and the hotels next door. The Marriott's other restaurant, Longboard's, is more casual, while this restaurant, Longhi's, is their fancier option for fine dining. With this in mind, this restaurant is, at the end of the day, is just alright. The seating area has the best views, but is slightly packed, although it is truly a beautiful ambiance. It is somewhat in the middle of the hotel, though. However, the service was lacking, if even present, and the food is, as expected, pricey. For some guests, hotels gave them vouchers to redeem at the restaurants near by, and this was one of those restaurants that you could redeem it at. With the voucher, this restaurant is a little bit easier to justify, but without, you are left paying high prices for fine food and a great view. If you are on the resort, then this is also easier to justify, as it is one of the closer options compared to the others. If you're not staying at the Marriott connected to it, then I wouldn't suggest going out of your way to go here. We ordered the crab cakes and the shrimp risotto. The crab cakes were really good, with a few different textures like the crunchies on top! If you like crab or crab cakes, or if you want to try something new, I would suggest that you order this or split it with a friend or partner. The shrimp risotto was fine, but after trying it, I ended up wishing that I ordered something else on the menu. It wasn't that it was bad, it just was okay. I feel like people have certain expectations for a higher end restaurant like this, and it wasn't hard to see why after going, that this restaurant is rated the way it is.

Pre-fixe dinner was worth it with a four-course menu. I wasn't able to get a reservation since fully booked so we did a walk in and was able to get seated at 5:30pm, right in time for 6:30pm sunset. The four course menu had a bunch of items to choose from. Since it was my husband and I we both ordered different things to try it all. Some things were exceptional and others I wish I hadn't ordered like kabocha squash soup was super weird. Here's what we chose and what I recommend. Drinks: - Fourth Lagoon Cocktail: raspberry rosewater paired with elderflower liqueur was good, just wish it had a pretty flower with it! - non alcoholic lychee something drink was delicious Starters: - KABOCHA SQUASH SOUP - weird with shrimp body on top would not get again - VENISON TARTARE - yummy simple Appetizers: - AHI* - poke super good - HE'E - octopus with risotto was mushy and boring would not get again - PORK BELLY - should've got this after hearing neighbors saying how good and easily sliced it was like butter Entrees: - LOBSTER TAIL - OMG so good with gnocchi - "PANIOLO" WAGYU FILET* - steak is always a great option and delicious Dessert: - CITRUS BAR (Liliko'i Ganache | White Chocolate + Pistachio Crunch | Kalamansi Curd | Ginger Snap Tuile) had a little Mickey head design was SO GOOD - CHOCOLATE MOUSSE - really good too, no Mickey design sadly

    Ohhhh my gosh we LOVED Makahiki! We ate here for both character breakfast and dinner…read more Breakfast- We loved eating character breakfast here! We came at 7am which was so nice because it wasn't crowded. We got some extra time with Mickey Mouse in the beginning and since it wasn't crowded, the characters visited our table 2-3 times. The food was great too! We loved the donuts, omelets, lox and bagels, and gluten free minnie mouse waffles! They were SO kind in having gluten free options (gluten free waffles, fruit, gluten free muffins). The gluten free food was delicious. We all loved our food and we really had a great time! Beautiful view and environment too! Dinner- This was absolutely the best dinner we had during our trip. It's a 3 course meal and you get to choose off of the menu. I got the corn chowder, prime rib, and pineapple dessert. My date got the tomato soup, seared ahi, and pineapple dessert. All of the food was amazingggg! We also LOVED our drinks we ordered. We ordered an old fashioned and then our sweet server had the bar whip me up a custom drink! Both were so good! For both meals, the service was amaaaazing! They are so kind and go over and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. They constituently checked in with us, gave us great recommendations, and got us everything we needed. I wish I remembered the name of our waiter at dinner, he was absolutely amazing! *Dinner does not include characters* I would give our experience for both breakfast and dinner a 100/10!

    What a fantastic way to start our day and week at the Character Breakfast!…read more The food is awesome for sure - but so is the company (characters) and the ambience is awesome right here in the middle of the resort at Aulani! The service is outstanding and we are so happy and blessed to be here! We were able to greet Mickey & Minnie, Goofy and Stitch at breakfast! We enjoyed macadamia nut pancakes with sweet syrup sauce; Mickey waffles and bacon; a farmer's omelet and potatoes - we had huge portions and the price for 4 (2 kids and 2 adults) was really good for all the food, the live music and the character visits over and over to our table! I also note that we didn't not attend the Luau this trip - which costs $200-$300+ per person (at Aulani). We opted to skip because we've been before and figured we would wait some before taking the kids - a little bit older for the best age to really fully enjoy that aspect of the show. You can get all the pictures with your personal camera/phone/device but know that the character breakfast photos by the photo folks with Mickey are not included - they will offer a $45 photo package to include and featured photo in the cardboard decorated photo frame and a photo pass card representing all the photos taken with Mickey as a family and as individuals at the featured photo session with Mickey during the (breakfast) character meal experience. We made our appointment for the first of the day and joined breakfast at 7am. We were first in line and first for the day - we enjoyed that personally because it was a great time with no crowds and we were able to start the day early and get on to having (more) fun! Alo(w)ha(h) (we're from Arkansas)!

    Outstanding Food, Vibes, and Live Music!…read more ​Had an amazing dinner experience at Mahi'ai Table last night with two friends! We specifically came out to support our friend who was the musical talent providing the live entertainment from 5:00 to 8:00 PM. ​Our reservation was at 5:30 PM, and the vibe was so good that we stayed all the way until 9:00 PM. Because we arrived during the last 30 minutes of happy hour, we immediately ordered a major spread of pupus from the Pau Hana menu. We shared the lechon style brussel sprouts, hand-cut fries, steamed shrimp & pork won tons, scallion bread, and fish tacos. Every single bite was delicious. I paired the food with a Hana Koa Roof Top Pale Ale from their local drafts list, which was crisp and excellent. ​After happy hour wrapped up, I moved on to the dinner menu and ordered the Half Pound House Burger and fries for my entree. The burger was perfectly cooked and incredibly flavorful. ​Overall, the food and ambiance were absolutely outstanding, and the service was prompt, attentive, and friendly from start to finish. The noise level was perfectly moderate, letting us enjoy both the live music and our own conversation. We had a great time and will absolutely be back!

Great value and plenty of food. Stopped in for lunch and the service and ambiance were great. We live in town and have come here several times for happy hour and to meet clients. They have live local music on certain days, which makes it even better. Nothing beats good local food with local music. Consistently good food, great service, and a nice atmosphere. Will definitely be back soon.
