Had Thanksgiving dinner there. Very busy. Had a reservation. Got seated 15 minutes after reservation time. Not complaining at all. The staff were all working like crazy. Everyone was hustling to take care of the crowd. All were very pleasant and friendly despite how hard they were working. Papa Kona’s has a great crew. The food was excellent, and the location exceptional. I was very impressed. Will definitely eat there again.

Service was unbelievably quick. Clam chowder was served within two minutes of ordering and was outstanding. Main entrees were served within five minutes after finishing soup and were also excellent. Very quiet on a Monday evening. Glad we went there.
