"Food is very good here, but I wish the service was faster!! We had reservations for 7:15pm, but when we got there, the table wasn't ready. They offered for us to sit in the patio/bar enclosed area instead of waiting for a table in the dining room, which we agreed too. Not sure if service would've been faster in the dining room, but service was very slow in the patio/bar area.
If the food was delivered faster, it would've been a perfect night, but since it wasn't, I'm giving the overall - only a 3 star!"

"Kona Grill was a great place to eat. The food tasted great and the service was spot on. The dessert serving size was extremely large so it was definitely worth your money but 1 dessert is good for 3-4 people. They also had very nice sushi bar and drinks bar. In the warmer months, their patio with their grill section would be nice as there is a fireplace there as well. I was seated right away also. Overall, great place great food great experience."

"When my daughter comes to visit, we usually go out to eat and we have found the Kona Grill to be our favorite restaurant in the area. The food is exceptionally good and the fish dinners are always fresh. The presentation is outstanding in all meals. We always start out with the fried Calamari - it's the VERY BEST! And we've never had a problem with the service."

"Sushi was underwhelming, made even worse by putting soya sauce on it. Pulled pork sliders from the seasonal menu were amazing. Caribbean chicken was ok, except for the fact that both pieces had an unappetizing layer of fat over them. Also, not impressed with the "carmelized" banana that came with it. It was just a banana cut in half and put on the plate. Ratatouille that came with it was also not impressive. Overall, 2/5 on the food. I was expecting better quality since I had read and heard so many great reviews on this restaurant. Drinks were great though. I would probably go again, but just to the bar, not for the food. Butter cake from seasonal menu was amazing!!! Bread putting was 2 huge pieces of mush with ice cream. We sent it back."

"I went to the Kona Grill on February 13th and it was perfect. The food was excellent. It was just the right amount. For an appetizer I had pot stickers and spinach dip, for the main course i had the spicy meatloaf and dessert was the red velvet cake. Everything was excellent. Our server (unfortunately i cant remember her name ) but she was awesome. I like the fact that on Wednedays its %50 of all wines , so i got a bottle. You cant go wrong with the Kona Grill.. I'll be going back there real soon...And finally the prices were decent. What I paid was worth it because everything was excellent..."
