    Really good happy hour, nice atmosphere and attentive service. Took a long time to get our beer, though; it always does ... not sure why. LOVE the appetizer meatballs. The chicken-shrimp lettuce wraps are usually always good, although this time were pretty overcooked. All-in-all a great experience.

    We had the tomato basil bisque, which was more of a thick chunky soup not a bisque consistency. wouldn't recommend or order again. the lemongrass clam chowder was good as was the rainbow roll. the kona stir fry was alright. service was a little slow at times. the carrot cake was delicious! It wasn't as loud as its been in the past so maybe they listened to feedback and turned down the volume so it's not a blaring nightclub.

    I had reservations yesterday at 6:30 PM for my birthday dinner. The waitress was trying her very best since it was her first day of orientation as she told me. But she did have to go and leave the table quite a few times to confirm questions that my party had. There was a lot of things wrong with our food and we had to send a couple things back. The food itself was very mediocre and was not worth the $700 bill. Will never dine here again

    Food was sub par. The chicken was dry. The portions and cost was crazy. $200 for two people is costly. Waiter didn’t get order right, dessert was kid size. Drinks were watered down.

    Our server was attentive and friendly and did his best to make the experience pleasant. I was surpised by how many items and supplies on the menu were unavailable - they did not have vermouth to make a manhattan, chicken lettuce wraps, sake cups or ramekins for soy sauce and wasabe with the sushi. The food was okay, not remarkable for the price. The upholstery on the chairs was stained and overall, it seemed like Kona Grill's best days were when I used to go there often, maybe 10-15 years ago.

    Kona Grill was probably by far the best restaurant that I’ve visited recently! The food was absolutely delicious, with flavors exceeding our expectations. From start to finish, the service was exceptionally fast, which made our dining experience even more enjoyable. Our waitress, Dana, went above and beyond to accommodate my family and I. She was attentive, friendly, and ensured that every detail was perfect. Her professionalism and warmth truly stood out and made us feel so welcomed. The interior of Kona Grill is stunning, with a stylish and inviting atmosphere that perfectly complements the amazing food. Whether you’re there for a casual lunch or a special dinner, the ambiance is just right. I highly recommend Kona Grill to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience with incredible food, fast service, and a wonderful team like Dana to make your visit unforgettable.

    This place is weird. It has high end prices, but a lower end vibe. The menu is all over the place and the service is super slow. They seriously need to go back to basics and reconsider the whole set up. Can't believe they can even pay the rent at Cherry Creek Mall with all the other options available.
