★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's unbelievably good. Such fresh flavors and service is spot on. Make sure drinks stay full and food flows perfectly. One of the best restaurants I've been to.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Ahi is amazing. Straight off the bat, the first thing you notice is how outstanding the service is. From the minute you sit down, the wait staff are attentive, and you are set up with a drink and snacks within a few minutes. That level of service remains consistent throughout the entire evening.
The scampi corn dogs are next level - and I mean for real next level. Thick, luscious, with like a szechuan bigmac dipping sauce. We ordered 2 rounds. Only surprising downside is they dont say what price they are. Literally, all the items on that menu page have prices, and the corn dogs just say ?? Like what? See menu pics.
We have the octopus entree and the blue cod (market fish) main. Octopus was outstanding and would order again. Beautiful char, great accompaniments and the perfect combination of textures. I could have had 2 servings of that and been done.
The market fish was good, however slightly offputting in that it came in the format of a cod sausage. Nice, however now I know what it's like I would order something else in future. We had a side of the crispy potatoes with mushroom ketchup with the mains and that was 8/10 delicious would eat again.
We had desserts to finish which were lovely but were standard dessert fare - nothing especially amazing to write about. Dont get me wrong they were exactly as good as the menu alluded to - I dont have a sweet tooth so nothing much to write about, nothing to complain about.
During the meal we commented frequently about how good the service was and that is a standout memory, along with the ambience and the food. An easy 5/5.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We went to Ahi's for lunch today on the way back from Waiheke.
We were early, however were attended to well.
The meals and wine were of excellent quality, albeit small in quantity.
One dish we ordered, was octopus, although identified as an entree, we asked if it could be served as a main which was explained to us as not a problem. However when it came out it was still pretty meagre more like an entree.
The price for this dish was was invoiced at $48.00 and was very expensive.
Having said that it was very very nice.
The rest of the meals were fabulous.
I have given this a rating of 4 stars based on the octopus meal, otherwise it would by 5 star, no problem.
Prices are Ahi's are very much on the high side, expect to pay for a lunch for 3 people in the order of $150.00 here, and that is without going over the top.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Man what an eye opener and where have you been all my life. Couldn't fault anything tonight. We felt really spoilt and service was hands down some of the best I've seen, maybe I don't get out enough? Drinking water was never empty, we chose to sit near kitchen and was not disappointed. Chefs are as interactive as you want them to be. We were given some menu options but with little encouragement decided on the 'trust us option' and it delivered, and as delivered server very informative and helpful. We also tried some craft beers, and what is great, we feel like we're supporting local as I think most of the product is locally sourced (NZ wide).We left more than satisfied and are definately coming back even for the great service.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A very exciting menu !!! Really loved the concept and the use of seasonal ingredients. Their notorious dish -scampi Corndogs is a must ! And their fried potatoes(side dish) were delicious and crispy, my most memorable dish

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Extremely disappointed. My husband and I had limited time in Auckland but we heard great things about Ahi and we were very excited to try it. The food is extremely overpriced for its quality. When you arrive, the atmosphere/ambiance is quite nice but once you sit down you start noticing that things aren't as good. The food looks very beautiful and nicely plated but of the 7 main dishes we ordered, 5 dishes were cold and the quail was undercooked. Portions are also very small. I would suggest smaller groups if you would like to visit as the music is so loud you have to yell to be able to listen to what other people on your table are saying.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 stars straight up without doubt.
We tried the “trust us” menu when we visited. It was 7 courses plus 1 palate cleanser. I enjoyed every single dish on the menu. Some of the dressing/sauces the chefs put in definitely surprised me and I would not have thought those would go so well together. I strongly recommend trying this menu if it was your first visit as it allows to try a bit of everything and reasonable portions too.
The waitress who looked after us was Isabella (apologies if I spelt hour name wrong) who was the most lovely and attentive waitress and elevated our dining experience to a whole new level. She was very patient and explained every dish so well.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Only giving four stars as one of the girls meals was brought out a bit cold. However the waiter and the kitchen staff were very apologetic and brought out a hot replacement dish very fast. The chicken/cauliflower dish was ordered with our steak meals so may have been misjudged and waited too long before sending out with the steak for the rest of us (4). Otherwise was absolutely stunning delicious food !! Also, unique with kiwi ingredients highlighted. Desserts delicious too. Would definitely go back!
