I hate this - because I love Kona Grill. However, I don’t think they were prepared for a Christmas crowd. The Christmas menu (my reservation was at 5pm) was already 86’d. Bummer. Tried the Christmas martini - not good ($16). Ordered a Grey Goose dirty martini - not even sure what was brought to me but it wasn’t a dirty martini. Our starter came 25mins after we were done with our main entree. The waiter was awkward. Here’s the thing - I think it was a new staff who would work on Christmas- most likely the kitchen too. I was happy to be able to eat out. Their food is typically amazing. But for $200, wish it were better!

Service was so slow….noise was very very high tonight for some reason……. all 3 dinners were good but appeared to have sit under heat lamp for some time…..penne was excellent….salmon great but rice over cooked….chicken macadamia was over cooked but sauce tasty…….no after dinner coffee cups for so we got paper cups….chocolate cake took 20 minutes to arrive. Just, Crazy poor service. It was Christmas so we had all the time in the world to catch up as our server disappeared from time to time. Not usually this slow and confusing service.

The food was iffy, we were seated near the employee entrance despite lots of other open tables and our served made several errors with our order. It was all in all “just fine” but for the price tag we probably won’t be back for a meal.

The food is good, Saturday night service was rough. So as long as they are not busy the food is good.

Came in for sushi Sunday. Don’t do it!!! They are super understaffed, and only have 1 person making sushi for the whole restaurant. Not only did our included salad not come out for 50 min, but it took 30 min to get a beer. Left without eating anything. I used to love this place. Def has gone down hill.
