| - This is the newest Kona in town. I've been to a Kona Grill in Kansas City and the one at the High Street, and this venue is by far the nicest. I came here for a yelp elite event prior to their grand opening where we sampled almost everything on the menu. We also got to meet the manager and staff. It was so good I decided to come back for more on opening day.
The venue is large with plenty of seating, so we didn't have a wait. We got the outdoor shaded patio seating. There are TVs available so we were able to watch the NBA finals.
Their service is world-class and second to none. My server, Anthony, was attentive and remembered my name (just have a look at my name and you'll know why that's impressive). He was able to explain everything on the menu in detail and gave great recommendations. Plus, the servers here all look like they are models.
Let's talk drinks. They have mixed drinks, beers, sake, and wine. Summer in the City is a must have, gin-based with pineapple. If you haven't been to Kona Grill before, their menu is super diverse. From burgers to sushi, they have it all. For appetizers, we ordered the lettuce wrap. They also have the "fish of the day" special where they offer the freshest fish in town. It was literally swimming in the ocean the day before. We ordered one and it was the sword fish with a sweet and sour Caribbean sauce smothered over. DELICIOUS. We also ordered the eel based sushi, caterpillar roll. YUM.
They are happy hour happy. M-F 3-7p; M-Th 9-11p; F-Sat 10p-12a; Sun -all day. On Tuesdays, they do half price wine bottles. Overall, I've had a fantastic experience at this Kona Grill and will probably become a regular here.
