I'd really give this 3.5 stars (sometimes a girl just needs a half), but I suppose 3 will do. I frequented the Chandler Kona during my ASU days and recently re-visited the chain's Scottsdale location while waiting for the next showing of Atonement at Camelview with the girls.
Pros: great place a kill a few hours, lot's of fun people watching and no-rush service. Menu has a wide range of options, from sushi to pizza and full chicken/seafood entrees, so it's easy to please a larger group of people. Convenient location and just easy.
Cons: while the mall location provides lot's of people and action to watch, you can't help but feel a little Velveeta enjoying cocktails so close to a Discovery Channel Store. Our server forgot one of our items for an hour, but the manager later waived it, so we'll call it even. Food is consistent and good, but not mind-blowing.
