I've been here several times over the last few years. The food has always been delicious! Sometimes there is a DJ playing loud music. It's elevated casual and could be a great date spot. Family friendly. Service has been friendly.
I enjoy sharing a sliders platter with my granddaughters. Three mini cheeseburgers with handful of fries. Hits the spot.
The food and service was great. I got the KG burger with fries and mac & cheese. My waitress was very nice and helpful and the owner came and checked on me more than once to see how service and food was. Helpful tip if you own the Delta reserve American Express card or American Express gold card. You can use your Resy credit here.
Stopped in on Christmas for the chiefs game and drinks. Service was friendly and efficient. Returned after dinner for drinks and new bartender but service was good as well. Like the vibe.
Holy Cow what great steaks! Yeah... I know what I said. :D This place is going all out with its steaks. Special kinds of butter to have melted on top. Sides that complement and enhance the flavours. Cooked to perfection and plated up to enjoy as much with the eyes as with the tastebuds! We ate here for Veterans Day. We arrived prior to our reservation time and they had space open so seated us immediately! We dined very well and all enjoyed not only our food, but the atmosphere, the cocktails, and the deserts we 'suffered' through. All of this is worth every penny!
Kona grill is always a favorite in my book. We came on a Saturday night and got sat down without a reversion for a party of 2 pretty quickly. The calamari was dry and we were pretty disappointed at how chewy it was. The sushi was amazing as always though. Service was really quick for a Saturday night and we got in and out! It was just extremely loud due to the music and the other tables around us.
Came in during Kona Grill's Happy Hour after 9PM on a Friday night and this restaurant was pretty busy. I was seated promptly and our waitress was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu. Being that it was happy hour, my table ordered an array of dishes. Out of the several that was ordered, I would have to say that my favorite dishes of the night were the spicy shrimp tempura and the crab crunch roll. amy only complaint on the spicy shrimp tempura is that it wasn't as spicy. Not pictured but we also ordered the carrot cake (this was EXTREMELY big) - this could probably be shared amongst 4-5 people. There was a DJ present, which i thought was a little bizarre but the music wasn't overly loud so I didn't mind too much. The manager also took the time to walk to each table to check up on how things were going which is also appreciated. *This place can be pricey if you come during non-happy hour (suggest coming during happy hour only!) *If you can get a table instead of a booth, opt for a table - their booths are tightly compact and don't have a lot of leg room space
