"Usually have a great time at Kona. This time, though, there were bothersome gnats flying around our table and food. The service was slow, but it was the gnats that were ruining the good time."

"We went to Kona Grill (Scottsdale) for an early light dinner after shopping at Fashion Square Mall. The restaurant is conveniently located on the street level of the mall. Upon arrival, we were seated and our order was taken. Our entrees, pepperoni flatbread and turkey burger with your choice of a side selection, were tasty and wel prepared. Our waiter was knowledgeable and very helpful during our visit. I would recommend this restaurant for lunch or dinner when visiting this area."

"Our reservation was for 13 people. We were the first two guests arrived at the restaurant, the hostess didn't even bother to take us to the table, she merely pointed the direction of the table to us. The table was set up for only 12 people and we had to walk back to the hostess station to notify her of the mistake. We then had to stand and wait for her to pull another table together. Again, we had to ask for additional dinner and drinks menu. The food was average and I think the restaurant could do better. However, the service we got from our waitress was excellent; she was friendly and efficient. We gave her extra tips for her great service."

"Kona is one of my family's favorite spots. The food and service are always top notch. Dining at Kona isn't cheap, but it is absolutely worth the price every time. The servers are extremely attentive to customer needs, which means a lot to us since my mother has multiple food allergies. Any problems we have ever had (a cut of fish over cooked, for instance) have been handled swiftly ajf with incredible grace. We will continue to treat ourselves to Kona."
