   Tamara did not disappoint. Food came fast, warm and delicious! Loved our seating (by the huge fish tank) definitely will be back.

   Kona Grill is overpriced for mediocre food. Save your money and your taste buds.

   Food is great, it just feels overpriced compared to fine dining within g a 15 minute drive. I ordered fish and chips and it was almost $40. Nothing fancy and small servings, and I’m saying that as someone that enjoys spending $150-$200 on a meal. For this price, there are better options nearby.

   The only thing negative in our experience so it's the food took forever to come out

   Took over 40 min for our server to bring out miso soup and a salad… it came minutes before food. I think he forgot us, and cared more about cleaning the finished table he had served. In regards to meals…The chicken in the stirfry was so dry and hard it was hard to chew. The tacos were good but that is all that came with the meal for the price- three small tacos! No rice or chips or sides. Prices were high for taste and service! It was our second visit but will probably be the last! Not sure why servers can’t figure out how to manage time and check in on tables. Even if you have a large group… it’s easy to add smaller tables orders in here and there, AND refill drinks. Don’t be a server if you can’t organize thoughts and duties. And don’t keep apologizing, and passing blame on the kitchen or another table. Kona Grill won’t make it long!

    We had a reservation but had to wait 15 minutes for a table. The food portions are small for a very steep price. It was over $150 for 2 people after they took off the cost of the appetizer and desert off to make up for cooking a steak well done when medium-rare was requested. Everything took way too long and the food was all over cooked. They replaced the overcooked steak and the replacement was good, but the lobster tail was cooked to the point of being rubbery and the macadamia nut chicken was overcooked and didn’t seem to have anything resembling macadamia nuts. Overall way too expensive for overcooked tiny portions and the wait staff tried to make things right but was too overwhelmed to even ask about anything but the steak. Also they don’t have everything that is on the online menu, and as far as ambience, I had to wear a coat the whole time because of so much cold air every time some one entered or left. The avocado egg rolls were ok but a disappointment compared to Cheesecake Factory. For steak just go to Longhorn or even Texas Roadkill(house) to get a reasonably priced steak (and better lobster at Longhorn) that’s just ad good. The only thing good about the one at Lona is the lobster butter steak topping but the filet itself was mediocre. Mission accomplished though…. Now we remember why we never go there despite food that sounds good.
