GREAT EATS HAWAII: LONGHI'S ALA MOANA

LONGHI'S ALA MOANA

HONOLULU, HAWAII

With Mom off shopping, Keli and myself decided to have breakfast at Longhi's at Ala Moana Center. You take an elevator from the ground floor to the restaurant. We were greeted very quickly after the elevator opened. Asked for table for two and were promptly seated at a great table overlooking Ala Moana Beach Park and the beautiful Pacific Ocean. We could see the waves breaking in the distance. Simply beautiful. Keli began reading the menu and was attracted to the Waffles and Pancakes. Then she said she would like to try something different for breakfast. How about an Omelet Dad? Sure I said, just pick three ingredients to add. You can choose from about a dozen items to add to your Omelet. For $12 you get three choices. Keli chose Bacon, Ham and Cheddar Cheese. Wow...the Omelet was huge and served with two large pieces of toasted bread. Keli said the dish was "awesome", "delicious"and very filling. She loved the bread too. The menu said that Longhi's is famous for their Eggs Benedict. I tried the Lobster Benedict ($21). I was amazed when the dish came to the table. There was lobster, real lobster and lots of it. This Benedict was the BOMB! Perfect balance of flavor from the lobster, the poached egg and the hollandaise sauce.
