We had another great evening. We celebrated Mother's Day. The food was delicious and our server was awesome. She made our evening even more special. We look forward to our next Kona Grill dinning experience.

Really cool ambiance and location. Food looked good, but the seasoning was extremely bland. We had the macadamia nut chicken and chopped salad. The chicken needed some spice, hot sauce or more of the tiny amount of marmalade they give you. Potatoes were very bland and dry, which for mashed potatoes were as a surprise. Salad wasn't very good, barely and cheese, tiny bit of bacon and a small amount of chicken if you add it. Far too many grape tomatoes for us. Service wasn't the greatest either, took forever to flag down the waiter and for the prices, doubt we'll ever go back. The marketing and photos of food look far better than the delivery.
We were seated 45 minutes after our reservation. We were warned that the kitchen was behind, but did not expect to wait an hour for food, which came out cold and overcooked. The only good thing about the meal was our server.

Our food wasn't correct and missing several items. We waited 45 minutes after our reservation to sit again without anyone getting us water or anything. Felt bad the waitress said to not worry about a tip because everything but out of her control so we gave her cash. Feel bad for the employee and doesn't affect the business.

Worst brunch ever. Waited over 2 hours and our food wasn't even being prepared. Made the reservation weeks in advance to enjoy Mother's Day and Kona completely ruined that. Would never recommend this place to anyone.

Dinner service is always great food , however we did Mother's Day brunch. The food was subpar the coffee was cold and after being the 1st ones in for breakfast we didn't receive our food and hot coffee for 40 minutes.

We were a party of seven celebrating Mother's Day. We all enjoyed our food and had good service. One small glitch was that my sister has been to Kona Grill many times and always gets the macadamia nut chicken entree so she is very familiar with the taste of that dish. This time however the sauce was so salty she couldn't eat it. I tried a bite and had to agree with her that it was way too salty. I have also enjoyed that dish in the past. So maybe the cook over seasoned it last night.

Moi was very knowledgeable about the different dishes. He gave excellent recommendations for our meal and desserts. Moi was so attentive to us. We had a wonderful experience at Kona Grill!! The food was delicious! The sauces were so tasty. The timing between appetizers and dinner was perfect. We will be back!!
I've always loved the patio, but it's a little too loud, service took forever, things were constantly forgotten or missing. The food was fine once we got it. I used to recommend this place to everyone but it's gone down hill for sure.
Nick Watkins was an amazing sous chef and he made sure we were happy and Monica our waitress was a delight!!

I had a California Roll with a side of Mac and Cheese with a Doctor Pepper and it was all fantastic. The Mac and Cheese was nice and creamy, the California Roll was fresh, and the Soda tasted exactly how you want a Doctor pepper to taste. I recommend this place for anyone who is looking for a nice and relaxing environment that also offers great food and a great patio. The staff are always friendly and helpful, if an issue happens in the kitchen they let you know immediately so you can get an alternative. The tables were all clean, the floor, all of it. The bar is a nice and clean as well as having very comfortable chairs.
First visit. The server was good. He did most everything very well. The food took an hour and seemed excessively priced for the quality and quantity ($25 for a burger and fries?). It was good but In N Out is a better burger for a third of the price. Kids entree was barely warm and the high chair was filthy - it very obviously didn't get a good clean - something I would expect for a pricey restaurant! I just can't recommend as a good experience. Again, especially for the price.
It was a bigger group and so the VERY loud music was hard to enjoy our time together to chat. We had to yell. Our server was not very attentive either. We also showed up for our reservation of 10 to be sat down at a table sat for 8 so had to squeeze in to make the 10 work.
