| - Popped in to Kona Grill at Scottsdale Quarter for a quick bite of California Roll and a glass of wine just before Happy Hour ended. It was pretty crowded, being a Friday night after all, but as we got inside we were informed after about a minute that the inside bar area and high tops were open seating, so a table was available right away. I'll have to say we weren't really greeted in any way until we asked about the seating, but once at our spot service was very good. We quickly were given water and our order was taken. Within a minute or two we were asked if someone had helped us and over the course of our stay several people stopped by, including what looked to be the manager, to see how everything was. It wasn't intrusive, but just added a nice touch to show that the staff was engaged.
The layout of the restaurant is great, with the bar area open on one side to the street and wrapping around to the inside where there are some high tops and booths. The California Rolls always seem to be just right. It's basic stuff, but quite good. I had a glass of the Spellbound Petite Syrah that I'm rapidly becoming a fan of. Nice flavors without being too intrusive anywhere. My buddy Jim chose the Portillo. The wine selection is nicely varied between the reds and whites so you should find something to satisfy your tastes.
This is a good location to enjoy some sushi or other fare, have some drinks and enjoy time with friends. The scenery is nice, the restaurant has a good vibe and the service, for us, was just right. Kona is a nice offering among the many choices at Scottsdale Quarter.
