I've been going to kona since 2004ish. I've seen it change through the high times when the 1%s hung out at the bar for Friday happy hours, to the dip and then depression when zero ferraris were parked in front, to the remodel and now the new normal.
It is now definitely more corporate in my opinion. They food and drink selections are not as nearly inventive or fresh as they once were.
But if I'm having a business lunch or happy hour with some 40-50 year olds with a known taste for middle america it's difficult to beat this place. Just the hint of an Asian spine on Americana. Sushi seems fresh.
Cocktails are decent upper middle of the road.
Beer selection needs work.
I'll be back for more business meals.
