There are things I love about Kona, and things that I'm not so crazy about.
First, those that I love! The macadamia nut chicken is to die for! the marmalade that they pair with it adds a surprising sweetness that stays with you (in a good way). The house salad is also very good and not boring at all.
Now for the not so great: I am extremely allergic to fish, and though I understand that Kona focuses on sushi, I wish there was more vegetarian or chicken options to choose from. Also, the service can be a bit spotty in the dining room during happy hour. The wait staff seems more interested in mingling with the guests on the patio than in doing their jobs.
Overall, a great chain to visit on this side of the country.
