   We were able to be seated early (about 10 min), which was very much appreciated. The food here is excellent and the service equally so. Upon being seated, our server Tayler (Im sorry, I know I spelled her name incorrectly) was quick to greet and let us know about the fish of the day. You get a nice warm bread to start, which is also a 10/10. Anyway, drinks come out fast as does the food, so you are able to really enjoy the beautiful view. We are local to the island and just wanted to do something on a different part of the island for dinner and this was a nice change of scenery. Anyway, I had the longhi style Mahi Mahi (fish of the day), and that style is SO delicious. The jasmine rice that came with it was also so good! I could have licked that plate. I didn't leave room for dessert, but it allowed me to enjoy that final bite of mahi extra. For 2 entrees, an appetizer, and an iced tea, the bill was ~130 (pre tip). I would dine here again. Also, don't forget to validate parking or else you will be paying 25$ to park!

   We always have a great experience at Longhi's! The food never disappoints and brunch is highly recommended. The evening ambiance indoors is relaxing with dim lighting but the outdoor seating with the koi pond along the perimeter adds to the great dining experience. The staff is always friendly. The bartender Kaylin is accommodating and very friendly.

   The food was amazing at this restaurant. The service was really slow and not what I expected from a resort restaurant. I guess because they mainly cater to tourists, they forget the local population on service. Funny, I am a retired military and dined in many upscale restaurants all over the world and this restaurants service was very disappointing. I would hope management would see they have some work to do in the service department. Alas, I won’t be going back to this restaurant anytime soon. I have mediocre food and good service experience at Monkey Pod down the road and will bring my local business there. I would have given just $2.00 tip if they didn’t automatically have the gratuity included. Too bad Longhi’s, you just lost a foodie.

   The first thing the hostess said to us was that there was a 90 minute limit on our table. Eat and get out! Not a good policy for an upscale, pricey restaurant. The menu was a set, limited choice menu on Valentines Day. Only one salad dressing was offered and it was awful. The dessert was not worth the calories, the sauces were not good - I don’t think the ingredients were very fresh. We were very disappointed and the hostess really ruined the evening for us with her time limit. The set vet was not knowledgeable about the menu and couldn’t answer our questions. We are not going back.

   I’ve been a customer over 4 years and hate to admit it wasn’t a good experience. I love this restaurant and have always had a wonderful experience with the staff and food. Unfortunately, when I made the reservation there was no mention of a “set” menu. The entree options weren’t that great that I had to ask for a manager to see if they had other entree options. Thankfully, the kitchen did accommodate a request off of their normal dinner menu. Lastly, 20 or 25% gratitude for servers and ONLY 2% or 3% for kitchen staff is outrageous. My family and I will continue to go but definitely not on special occasions with a “set” menu.

   Great food at a fabulous location. Like all restaurants in Ko’Olina, very expensive, but better value than The Four Seasons

    3 guests booked & notified ahead that all3 adhere to a GF diet (celiacs) Restaurant has an extensive & impressive GF dinner menu 😊 ( unfortunately not so for brunch/breakfast ☹️) Meals OK tho somewhat small portions for the price but that’s Hawaii for u - reasonably flavourful, nicely cooked & prepared However one guest immediately ill upon leaving the restaurant and ill all night/continuing the next day😡 Since other 2 guests were not ill can only assume it was cross contamination in the kitchen - especially since one had the exact same meal. V disappointing to say the least
