Lisa Ann

Visited on Mothers Day for the 1st time. Limited menu, which was slightly disappointing but understandable. Service was fine, food arrived rather quickly; probably due to a set menu. Fresh, delicious flavor in the Stir Fry; unfortunately, they lost a ☆ because of the drink wait. Server forgot to bring adult beverages when ordered. Service bar was packed and the 2 bartenders did NOT assist. Pricey but good.

Melissa Previte

Really amazing sushi and drink menu! They offer a wide variety of local beers as well as some solid chicken, steak and fish options! Definitely make a reservation and get the bread pudding for dessert! The service was fantastic and quick. The only downside is parking at prime weekend times as there are 4 major restaurants here. Happy hour specials are fantastic if you can make it during the week!

Our server Logan was absolutely amazing. He was so attentive and knowledgeable. The food, drinks and atmosphere were wonderful but Logan truly made the experience here one we wont soon forget. He was overall a fantastic server with a great personality. The sushi is always so good and unique from other places we have been. We tried the steak this time around and we're blown away. Definitely recommend Kona Grill! Make sure to ask for Logan as your server, you won't be disappointed.

Excellent food, excellent service. I truly enjoyed my 1st visit. They have out door dining too so thats a plus. My first shrimp poke bowl and it was good. The pot stickers were perfect too. Nothing bad to say about my experience and I would definitely go back if I was a local.

Alanna Sullivan

We had some amazing food and overall a great experience dining at Kona this evening. Michelle was a very attentive server and made sure all of our questions were answered. She recommended the Sunset sushi roll which was fantastic!! The kids meals are a great portion and come out fast. Also highly recommend the watermelon margarita and the surf and turf option with steak and sushi. Great vibes and food!! Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Edited to add: I forgot to post about the carrot cake!! Literally the best/biggest carrot cake I’ve ever had. A must try!!!

The food was amazing.. Jasmine was awesome and we could tell she was seasoned. Beautiful smile, wonderful personality and recommend some great stuff. Made our trip so worthwhile. Everything and everyone was truly a delight, no lie, no exaggerating.. loved it and the Happy Hour

Laura Topliffe

Went for the special Christmas menu. Place was packed so despite our reservation, we still had to wait 25 mins for our table. The food was delicious, service was slow. Atmosphere was dark. Apparently they're remodeling and no lights above us. We could barely see our food. Would go back again, once remodeled and it has lights.

Jennifer Moll

We visited on a Saturday night. The restaurant was clean and had an DJ with live music which was a fun surprise. Our server was attentive and courteous, the food was fresh and had great flavor, served hot and very quickly. We had the shrimp stir fry which has a delicious “kick” to it and a Philly roll. The highlight however was the sushi chefs who were friendly and spoke to our daughter as she watched them make roll after roll at the sushi bar. 🍣 Also, they served her food in the cutest bento box! 🍱 Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and we will definitely be returning. 💯

Tim Salmonson

Nice vibe, big place, great outdoor spaces on a small lake. I would recommend going Monday through Thursday for happy hour, otherwise it gets pricey for drinks and meals, both of which were on the small side. They didn't skimp on the alcohol though and the food was good. Quite spicy🔥 🥵 …

Pete Balzer

This was very good! Ordered the steak dinner with sweet potato fries! Price was reasonable and food was great! Real star of the show is the carrot cake! This slice was about 2 and a half pounds and was covered in whole walnuts and came with caramel. Sooo good!

JORDANN D'ATTILE

Had one of the best experiences at kona grill… started off waiting on my party to arrive Ray and Joey made some of the BEST margaritas I ever had… Definitely will be back to see them! My server Jason had an amazing personality & gave me great suggestions for my food. I will now be a Kona Grill.

Michele S

Went here to celebrate a family member's birthday. It was a last minute reservation and they were able to accommodate the 12 of us, which was great. I had the Sake Sangria, it tasted more like juice than anything. My mom had the Rum Drink (I should've ordered that, lol). Ended up eating the Macadamia chicken meal, it wasn't bad, I just wished the mashed potatoes were a bit creamier and the brocolini was a bit salty. Mom had the Kona Stir Fry and she was raving about the sauce that was on the veggies. They ended up giving us a slice of butter cake for my cousin's birthday, but it was bit dry and bland.

stormy dickson

Had reverse happy hour specials. Ambiance and service was great. Only complaint was the three “potstickers” intended to be an appetizer but arrived after I was done with my meal. They were also misrepresented as potstickers. They were actually deep fried dumplings. I wouldn’t order them again.

I’ve been wanting to go here for a while now…finally got to go last Thursday! Even though it was late we received the BEST service! We sat in the bar area & it was pretty full w/ just 1 bartender. An employee known as “Red” assisted in the bar area by bringing us water & providing menus, etc. When I found out he worked in the kitchen area that was a great display of teamwork by helping out during a busy time with so much understaffing going on at most places. Jason, the bartender also provided great service with a smile once he got caught up. I was also impressed that even a manager stopped by to check on us although it was close to closing time. The salmon fish tacos were amazing & so was the spicy edamame’s! We felt very welcomed & the ambiance is very nice, will definitely visit again & hope to get the same service/servers!

For Friday date night dinner I made a reservation at the Kona Grill - Tampa. When we reached at the restaurant we were seated by our server Jordann with menus and water. On Friday night it was a busy restaurant and whole restaurant was almost full. By browsing through the menu we ordered Moscow Mule for the drink, for the food we ordered Potstickers, Picasso Roll, Bama Roll and for desert we ordered Carrot Cake. We had to wait for 10 minutes before we got our potstickers. The potstickers were delicious and tasty. Loved them. After we got our rolls both Picasso Roll and Bama Roll. The rolls were delicious. We loved the Bama Roll. It was delicious and one of the best we had. After dinner we got the carrot cake. The cake was big and delicious. After the food it was difficult to eat the carrot cake. We togo the carrot cake to our home. The restaurant, service, decor and food was amazing. Loved the restaurant.

We were seated fairly quickly despiste changing our mind about where to sit. We reserved for inside but it was nice enough to sit outdoors and they accommodated that for us. The service was a bit slow but they seemed to be overwhelmed with the Buc fans. Hubby got a beer and warm sake for his drink and I ordered the Sunday morning cocktail which was pretty good. For appetizers, we ordered the jalapeño yellowtail sashimi and calamari. No complaints about the sashimi but the calamari was so salty that we couldn’t eat it. Then for our entree, my hubby got the surf and turf - crunchy spicy tuna roll with the NY strip, potatoes and green beans. The tuna roll was salted way too much so he couldn’t eat it, and his steak was over cooked. I got the sunset roll and it was delicious. We ordered more drinks (same ones from the start) and I couldn’t drink mine. It was made completely different than the first time. We got the brownie dessert and that was divine. We won’t be back unfortunately.

Tiffany Miller

The restaurant was nice and clean upon being seated. Matt was our server. He was very attentive, knowledgeable, and presented the best customer service we’ve ever had. The food was delicious!! My family will definitely visit this place again.

Kay Speshall

So, to begin the service was top tier. Kelvin was amazing. He was able to translate the restaurants culture and variety of flavors through his ability to describe the different selections on the menu. We were sold! The shrimp tacos and Patio Bubbly was amazing. I’m not from Tampa but I definitely will be back!

Boozy N Bar

Amazing! Franck was exceptional. I literally just got here from the airport and saw this place. I’m from and south Florida, the ambiance, atmosphere and food was excellent. The food was delicious I had about 5 items from happy hour and I’m happy 😃. …

Bailey Saulsberry

Stopped by Kona Grill for lunch and had a great time! The staff went out of their way to find a gluten-free option for me. The Philadelphia roll turned out great. My guest and I will be returning and recommending this place! Sn: if you sit outside, there are beautiful turtles that might swim by to say hello!

candigirl

I love this place! The food is always great. I had the shrimp tacos (Get the angry butter on the side lol) and sweet potato fries with caramel sauce. The carrot cake is to die for! We'll definitely be back!

Angelo Hernandez

Julie was amazing, she gave us all the guide to make a good selection on this broad menu. Food was perfect and her kindness made this lunch unforgettable. Pet friendly patio with water fountain was a plus

Nanay Ann

I got the sweet chili glazed salmon with Brussel sprout, my husband got the rib eye and bento box kid meal for my son.. we had a potstickers as a starter but no pictures because i forgot to take a picture.. My husband's ribeye was undercooked but they were accomodating to cooked it a little more. My salmon was good except for a chunk of rice that wasnt mixed well with the other. We were seated near the restroom, and that part of the restaurant doesnt smell good, dont get me wrong,restroom was nice and clean i guess the carpet or the chair or the table or their wiping rugs smell bad.

Dereck Mateo

We came upon word of mouth recommendation. I’d have to say aside from the service, which for the price point should be much better, our food was delicious, well presented & exceeded my expectations. I’d love to come back and try more food & drink options. The lemon crème pasta was delicious, I’d add the macadamia Crusted chicken to it (not plain) and the asian salad was delicious. The sauce for the potstickers really made that dish come to life. If the sauce was a glaze it may be better so it sticks to the potstickers. Delicious would come back and ask for a different server. I’ll change my rating if our service is better

Patrice McFarquhar

The food and the service was amazing. The best part was the service was the engagement with our waiter Kelvin. He gave us great details about the menu and the drinks. His energy was amazing ! We enjoyed his service!

Mya

I was so excited to use a gift card we received over the holidays. I don't remember the prices being so much. I do enjoy most of these appetizers, and the carrot cake is always a hit. However, I was disappointed with the entree. The potatoes in the dish were hard and ribs were dried out. Ordered the Korean Ribs.

Mike Ganance

Kona Grill was a fantastic experience. Our waitress was very polite and was able to help guide our food selections based on her likes. The appetizers were great! The main course was filling and delicious. We were undecided on a few of the desserts, so we ordered the butter cake, bread pudding, and chocolate brownies. Overall we had a good time. Thanks

S. Perez

A cool escape even when it’s not a weekend, for a couple of bites and beers. Second time around being the first time in a group of four. Food was decent both times I can attest now being the second. Couldn’t help but observe that aside from the hostess, the sushi master and a waitress, nobody else knew how to properly use masks leaving exposed the noise and even the upper lip… non sense 🤷🏻‍♂️ The music selection is pretty cool and fun to listen to

Gregory Hutsell

Ribeye meatballs were outstanding! The place is clean, airy as in a lot of fresh outside air flowing through. Catch a sports game, a great appetizer,and a drink. Enjoy.

Nikki C.

Julie was our waitress and she made our night our amazing with two kids in tow. The ribeye meatballs, potstickers and Kona margarita were incredible! She reminded us to order in time for happy hour! Deshawn the manager came by the table twice to check on us. Wonderful leadership! We needed this night out! THANK YOU!

Mirna Salazar

Jason was our waiter and he definitely made it a better experience! He has great customer service and that’s exactly what many of us look for!

Tamra Short

We spontaneously decided to try Kona Grill and really enjoyed our experience! Cole was an awesome bartender, & the happy hour menu is one of the best with something for everyone! I tried the sushi which was spicy & tasty. My boyfriend had the bbq chicken flatbread & the ribeye meatballs! All was delicious!!! Highly recommend!!

Bob Brown

I had the Kona Stir Fry and subbed in the shrimp, my partner had the Avocado Egg Rolls and fried rice. Both were good, but beware, the stir fry is on the hotter side. I like it like that but careful. We ordered the carrot cake and it was awesome and huge!!!!!! Our waiter Lu, was the best! One HUGE negative was the parking....not bearly enough on a Saturday night.....

David Satchell

Kona Grill is absolutely a hidden gem sitting out in the open. Appetizers and entrees are fantastic. Great flavors you won't experience at other places. The drinks are great and service is even better! Gotta try it!

Andrew Bernsdorff

It’s rare that you go to a restaurant and have above average service. Jordan was so nice. The food is top notch but it was the service that was the icing on the cake. Food came out fast. Great staff all around too. Very friendly.

Michelle Ramos

My boyfriend and I went here for my birthday dinner, and that was by far the best choice we can make. The food was amazingly good, it is pricey but it genuinely is worth it. What we really made this experience even better was our waiter Bernie, I can genuinely say he has been the best waiter we have ever had. He knew so much about the food and everything we ate was all recommended by him and let me say, he has amazing taste. He was also a very positive friendly person and I’ll for sure be coming back here and requesting and recommending him. Beautiful restaurant.

Ken M

Food was good and service was fantastic. I had a house salad, lemongrass clam chowder and 2 rolls (tuna and crab). Salad was standard. The chowder was the star of the meal. It was packed with bacon. I just wish there was more clams in it, it should be called the bacon with clam chowder instead. The 2 rolls I had was nothing special and a little overpriced. Solid 4 Stars.

cheryl gibson

Always love the vibe and food at Kona Grill in Tampa! I usually go for the Yamada roll with Sea Bass and avocado but for a rainy night Mac and cheese with Brussels sprouts was the perfect elevated comfort food! Ray was great too!

shante agostini

Came here for A date night and Logan Was An Amazing Waiter ! He answered any questions we had and was definitely fun loved his energy , food was amazing too very flavorful recommend 100% thank you again Logan

Andrea M

First time here. Wasn’t crazy busy, was a nice ambiance. The food was good, service was fantastic. Jason (shorter Jason with the tats) was such an amazing server. He was personable, attentive, made fabulous suggestions, and just a very kind person. The manager came around a couple times to check on us without being in your face about it. Also, none of us are big on carrot cake, but Jason did us a solid. If you go here, def get it.

bethany g

Our server, Stephen, gave us 5 star service during our entire meal. He made great menu recommendations and the food came out fast. The happy hour food and drinks were amazing. We will definitely be back.

Mister Fitch

We were visiting from out of town and wanted to try a place we didn’t have at home. Kona was near our hotel and we decided to stop by. The food was hands amazing. I had the steak and my partner had sushi. Marie was an awesome service, so nice and kind. She was never far and checked in regularly, even with a packed house. Would recommend and we will return.

Debora Carrio

This is our 3rd time here and we’ve had the please to be hosted by Kelvin during all of our visits. Kelvin always makes our dining enjoyable, he’s attentive, fun to speak to and knowledgeable about the menu selection. Ask for Kelvin to be your host! Your won’t be disappointed! Deb & Randy

Cadejah Joseph

Food was amazing Kelvin was great ! He was super sweet and funny made the experience 10X better! Highly recommend I know who to go to when i come back! 🤣 …

Jessica Reed

Our server Logan was amazing!!! For it being my first time he was very attentive. He made sure everything was perfect. We will definitely be back to try brunch!!

Stephanie Ferber

We went for our first time last night and will definitely go again! We felt so welcome from the moment we walked in the door! The hostesses were so friendly and chatted with me while I waited for my husband to park the car. We took advantage of call ahead seating which was wonderful on a busy Friday night. Our waiter Jason was amazing! He was so great and took a lot of time making recommendations and knew the menu inside and out! He was super friendly and genuinely seemed to want to be sure we had an excellent experience at Kona and we did! The managers also stopped by our table to check on us. The food was so delicious and fresh! Presentation was beautiful and and the taste was out of this world!! We ordered dessert to take home because we just couldn’t resist! All in all an outstanding experience! We’ve lived in Tampa for four years and usually tend to go to smaller restaurants but decided to give Kona a go and it was the best decision! Jason deserves a raise!

Jeanine McPhillips

Guys- if you are looking for amazing sushi - look no further than Kona Grill. The sushi is so fresh and delicious. Some spicy options if you like that. Awesome vibe. Logan our server was fantastic- so friendly and helpful. Great recommendations on what rolls to get. Will be back!

Claire

My husband picked me up from the airport after a few days in NYC and we decided to dine at Kona Grill. We were immediately greeted by our lovely server, Logan J, and he exceeded our expectations. I rarely drink but Logan suggested this specially made cocktail, the Peach Mango Mule, and it was epic!!! He definitely made my night after a long day of travel! Thank you Logan!!!

Christopher Benguechea

Kelli Cheese is a Bartender . Went for the first time for my 21st Birthday on monday 9/13/21 and she took care of me at the bar. I’m a nyc bartender and I can guarantee for experience that she has the skills to make your day one of the best days of your life. The 3 choices of food recommendations she gave me were amazing! The cocktails she made were better than mines. I literally recommend taking your time of the day to come and visit Kona Grill while Kelli Cheese is working. I will come back more often for sure.🤞🏽

Nicole Daniel

Absolutely amazing place to dine. We were visiting Tampa so it was our first time at this place and the experience was so phenomenal. Our server, Kelvin, recommended two sushi rolls that quickly became our favorite and some of the best sushi we had. He also highlighted the happy hour specials and helped us get the best deal for our meal. Top notch sushi, great drinks (get the margaritas!), friendly service and fun atmosphere. Would definitely recommend and if we are ever in the area again, we will definitely be back.

Deasery Laurent

We are Southwest Airlines crew and came for happy hour on a Friday and Jamie was out server; he was very attentive, kept coming back to check on us. Thank you Jaime.

EJ Eaton

Nice restaurant, service was great atmosphere was lacking and kinda a bummer. Food was good enough.We opted for the $20 bottomless mimosas option. The flavors were good ( white peach, strawberry, watermelon) but management discouraged our refills and how we were ordering them.This is a good venue however for large parties and group events. I will try dinner next time as brunch was just okay. We

Cam

Our server, Sophia was amazing! She was courteous, smiling, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience… WE DID! The food was absolutely phenomenal. It was an explosion of flavors and culinary excellence! The presentation was equally as impressive! Kona never disappoints, but something is definitely in the water here! All staff were running like a well oiled machine. 10/10

Brandon Thomas

Food was really good, drinks were really good, nice relaxed and understanding atmosphere. Couldn’t ask for a better time. Just sit back, get some sake and have some good food here

Luis Cruz

Nice and beautiful restaurant with a great atmosphere. Excellent customer service. Food was delicious 😋

Jessie Rodriguez

Food was great. Our server daisy was amazing. This was our first visit here. The kids meals were adorable. Menu selection was very different, which is great. Manager stopped by with questions and was very welcoming. Will be back !

Naomi Cribbs

Here at Kona grill and my husband and I had an amazing dinner. Our waitress Daisy was the best. When you go here ask for her. Also, you have to get a carrot cake. It's to die for!!!

Leo

I loved the atmosphere here. It was very hot Saturday evening and the sun was beaming but our waitress made sure to get out of the direct sunlight and bring our appetizers and adult beverages. 😂 I will say that the drinks were not as strong as she claimed them to be but that’s just on personal taste. Also the entrees came out a little later than expected but they did start to get pretty busy after 630. I definitely look forward to coming back to try other dishes. Very good mix of seas food and Asian cuisine which I love.

Angela Goff

I haven't been to KG in over a year because my first experience was just SO SO. I was in the area to meet up with a friend and thought I'd give KG another try. The hostess was very welcoming with a smile. My server Jamie is patient and on point with my order. He also checked on me to make sure I wanted for nothing while I waited for my friend. I'm glad I gave KG another try. I had the spicy tuna roll and salmon fish tacos... Thank you!! Fiona

Jessica Vitalo

Kelvin (manager) & Sophia (server) were fantastic. We had a small issue taken care of with no issue. Meals were great! Service top notch. My coworker got a burger and said it was amazing. Fresh sushi always delish! Thanks again!

Angie Jacqueline

Franck was our server he provided a great dining experience for me and my boyfriend. 10/10 their sushi is amazing!

Kelly Hines

We were visiting from out of town and absolutely loved the food and the experience. Bernie was an amazing server who helped us choose our entrees, which were excellent. Definitely recommend! Also the avocado egg rolls are unbelievably good.

Jen Simpson

I cannot say enough good things about this place! A group of coworkers went after work and we were thoroughly pleased with not only the food/options, but the service of the waitress Maddy and manager Jordan as well. These ladies were amazing! Answered all of our questions, made sure we were well taken care of, and treated us like family. Highly recommend and cant wait to go again!

Erin

Food is good, but the music is way too loud. We could barely hear our waitress. Keep that in mind in case you or someone coming with you has sensory issues

Sweetness Rima

This restaurant was recommended by my family. I am new to Tampa. This definitely will be a staple in my house. I had the casa amigos margarita it was so good. Their appetizers was good. I went there for the Pad Thai. I enjoyed everything about this place. My waitress named was Cammy and She was amazing. Very attentive and welcoming. Plus check out my Youtube Channel : Sweetnessrima for a more in depth review on Kona Grill

Traci Nelson

Amazing spot, Sweet Blue salad freaking good. Chilean Sea bass was a masterpiece 5*Cheers to Bernnie our Server for his terrific suggestion.. Bernnie also suggested my MAI TAI & Coconut Rum cake to die 4....We were very happy with everything & Music & Ambience was perfect. Woo hoo!!!

Lionel Lee

First time visiting the Kona Grill and definitely will not be our last. The ambiance was terrific and our server Skylar went above and beyond. She was sure to address my food allergy and her drink recommendations were on point. She was very knowledgeable of the menu as well. Thanks Skylar for making our first visit a memorable one.

Fernando Hidalgo

My sushi was fresh and extremely tasty. My server Jordyn was phenomenal and attentive, Ray makes the best margaritas in town

Anna Licata

Best restaurant in Tampa. Very versatile for every occasion, from date nite to large parties. Plus there are multiple delicious dishes to suit every taste. The happy hour has small plates and delicious drinks starting at $3. Most importantly, the service is stellar! Julie is awesome. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could. Thank you for everything!

Brittany White

Service was extremely quick and Sophia was absolutely wonderful! She was fun to talk to, super sweet, on top of everything relating to our service, and went above and beyond for us. We usually order for takeout/delivery; however, Sophia made our experience so exceptional that we would love and prefer to come back in person. If you get the chance to have her as your waitress, she is amazing!

Kiani Walker

I’m from Orlando, I have work in Tampa every Monday and make sure to stop by for Kona happy hour! Logan was super helpful and quick today in particular. If you’re in the area and love sushi, stop by ASAP.

Heidi C

The only reason i say this is 3 stars is because the sushi was fresh and amazing. The portion sizes were reasonable. I just feel that during my experience here the waitress wasn’t too attentive. Some menu items were misleading in terms of price. Happy hour is probably the best value on the menu.

Keyshonna Miller-McNeil

I just have to take the time to share my experience at Kona Grill in Tampa. I first want to say that if it WAS NOT for Kelvin stepping in to be our server, I was getting ready to leave. Let me just praise our waiter Kelvin. He noticed that no one had greeted our table and we had been sitting approx. 10 minutes. He came over and said he wasn’t our waiter but he will get us started. I loved that he paid attention to that. The individual who was suppose to be waiter came over, drop off the drink order that Kelvin took for and did not even acknowledge us. So, despite having 3 other tables and a large party he served us. Kelvin was AMAZING! He was knowledgeable about the menu, he gave excellent recommendations, he was on top of everything, friendly, upbeat and just an awesome person. He saved the day for us because I had a client that I needed to get to the airport and there was no time to go anywhere else. After a rough day of car issues, taking a 2 hour Uber to get back to Tampa, and needing to rush to get to the airport…Kelvin just brightened up my day. Food was great and I have plenty of leftovers. I will definitely be back because of him.

Tiffeny Wiley

So delicious! Everyone loved their food. Kelvin helped us all with so many questions. He did a great job!

Isabela Kolenovic

It was my boyfriend and I’s first time at Kona Grill and we really enjoyed our experience. Our waiter was extremely kind, helped us with the menu, and explained all the specials they had going on and what the cuisine was like. My boyfriend went with the shrimp tacos and I had the shrimp and lobster sushi roll— both were excellent. We will definitely be coming back (:

April Olsen

Brunch was great! Fast and so tasty. Numerous servers delivered my food. Maddy was my waitress she was so sweet. I met the manager Jordan.. everything I ordered was amazing. I will send all my friends 10/10 recommended.

Kim Turner (Kimmie)

Music was really loud so it made it hard to talk. It took a really long time for our food and it wasn't that busy and we only had appetizers. Service was great, lady behind the bar took good care of us and she was the ONLY person handling the bar and tables. Food was good when we got it.

Oschkawiyah

I went two days back to back....just to make sure the food wasn't a fluke the first time. Whewwwww....I ordered veggie sushi and a side of brussel sprouts. The food was so well seasoned I went back the following day with my entire family for brunch (bottomless mimosas ☺), and the food turned out not to be a fluke. It was just as amazing the second time around. Huge shout outs to bartender Jazz😍, manager Mark, and waiter Oscar for such an amazing experience both times around.

Paul Carlucci

First things first, parking is insufficient. You might find a spot but you're better off just going straight for the complementary valet. They text you a link so you can request your vehicle while walking out, which is as good as it gets. I had the macadamia nut chicken which had a lovely pan seared crust and was otherwise cooked just right. The mashed potatoes were notable. My son raved about the burger saying that it was the best burger he's ever had. The music is too loud, not quite club-level loud but above what a restaurant should be. The lights are too dim, but they do at least have LED lamps you can request. They offered to comp a dessert in exchange for a review, but the food is really good so I can't particularly knock them for that. Google reviews are the way of the world these days.

Kenneth Winslow

Great place. Great location. Pricey but worth it. The food is really good and let me tell you about the carrot cake! Holy. Cow. Amazing! The bartender was amazing and super courteous and respectful. Pretty funny too. The place does get busy, so choose your time wisely.

Lillian Anderson

Thoroughly enjoyed brunch. Been here before but this is the first time or brunch. Brett (the bartender) was super nice and food came fast and delicious (I go the daybreak sandwich). Kona-Mosas were yummy and such variety! Definitely coming back. Their Happy Hour is great so I’m glad brunch did not disappoint!

Karleen Jones

First time at Kona Grill and it won't be our last! Had brunch with a group of friends and we definitely enjoyed our experience. Our server Brett was quick & attentive. Made sure our orders were correct and kept us informed on our wait. The brunch was delicious with great portions.

Chad Osborn

We had the Cilantro Lime Chicken and the Picasso Roll. Both highly recommend. Staff was very attentive to our needs. The Lemongrass Clam Chowder was a lighter take on the heavy cream chowder...loved it! Only issue... music way to loud. We had to shout to hear each other and the staff. Understand if it is a night club...but, it's a restaurant.

Jacquelyn Robinson

I recently went in with my friend on Wednesday evening and Anthony that was located at the front desk area upon arrival was absolutely exceptional. He ensured that we had everything we needed and checked intermittently on us to make sure that what we ordered was correct and that we were enjoying our visit. He is an absolute jewel, not only as someone that represents the company, but as an overall great human being. Thank you Anthony for your kindness and attentiveness!

davee sarim

Would come back just for the service! Haley is an amazing server. She was very accommodating and even offered free dessert for my my mom’s birthdays. Food was decent but overall good experience.

Samir Patel

Great spot for drinks and food. Traditional rolls were great and carrots cake OMG .....just to warn you it is sharing size

Brian Zuniga

meh. Tourist prices for decent food in a fancy place with a fancy menu. We had a reservation but waited as long as the walk-ins. The service was very slow but friendly and professional. The drinks are legit and are a good value. the atmosphere would have been nice if it weren't so slammed with tourists.

Dom Ramirez

Jasmine (at the bar) was AMAZING! She was very attentive and friendly. I never went without a drink, and she was always making sure we were comfortable and okay! Will definitely come back for the atmosphere she brought :) Oh, and the food was PHENOMENAL

Danielle Cooper

Amazing experience! Kelvin was one of the best servers I’ve ever had. He knew everything about the menu, gave great recommendations, and 5 star service. He made out dining experience very special and we had a great time!

Maritza Sanchez

Had an awesome time with family. Food was absolutely delicious and Angel our server was spectacular. Very attentive and ensure we received the best service. We had a lot of attention from Angel and the management. Absolutely recommend this place for good food, for date night and or hang out with friends/family.

M T

Went to Kona grill with my daughter for Thanksgiving unfortunately they were out of the Thanksgiving meals. So we ordered steaks and very happy that we did food was excellent. Being a holiday that was quite a Wait. I have to say it was definitely on the price Side.

P B

Kelvin is a fabulous server. Great personality, recommendations and very knowledgeable! Food is wonderful! Great experience so glad I took my out of town guests. They loved it too!

Nahshon McMillan

Great brunch and wonderful selection of Bottomless Mimosas for 90min. Food and service was amazing aswell. Follow: @15Petey IG

paul payton

Came out tonight for our 25th Wedding Anniversary. We sat in the bar area and Ray our bartender/waiter was absolutely amazing! He made the entire experience fun and memorable. We would completely recommend Kona Grill to all our friends and co-workers.

Such a great place and wonderful atmosphere! All of our food was so good and the service was outstanding. Ray was super nice and helpful. I love visiting places with such friendly staff! Make sure to get the carrot cake, it is the absolute best!

Christina Alfano

Bret was extremely attentive and fast, friendly service and made sure everything I ordered was amazing. Definitely recommend when he is working. In the past the service has been hit or miss, I’ve often waited just to get a drink even with an empty bar but he is exceptional and I didn’t have to wait for anything when he was working with a bar full of people.

Kayla Jones

Wow! Kelvin was an absolute rockstar waiter. He was super friendly, upbeat, and super informative. I had the shrimp/lobster sushi and the shrimp tacos. The flavors were superb. If I ever find myself in Tampa again, I'll be making my way back. Thank you so much.

Keitha Buckingham

My husband and I enjoyed an early supper starting with The Clam Chowder, shrimp Tacos and the Macadamia Nut chicken. All delicious topped off with a humongous slice of Carrot cake. Our server was lovely and friendly.

LuvLiLyn

Our night started off bad when we were seated in a section and no one checked on us for 10 minutes. Yes, I timed it, lol. My husband and I asked to be moved to another section where a girl started to serve us, but she seem liked she wasn’t into it that night. Along comes a hostess named Kelsey to the rescue. She was very pleasant and she serviced us with a smile and just enough space as well as the attentiveness needed to change our earlier experience. She’s definitely an asset and we really appreciated the time she took to assist us.

Robert Cruz

Wow first time ever !! What a great experience! Brett took care of us and did an amazing job. Also the manager and cooks make sure that everyone and everything is accommodated for us. Thanks to the staff again and I will have to recommend my family and friends.

Sid Kirane

I visited Tampa recently and super service. I know Adolfo and Sophie from Kona here in MN. Both are amazing servers. Overall very nice food at Kona .. slightly different than MN one but still good and very good service. Highly recommend

Aya Hammoud

Really amazing sushi and drink menu! They offer a wide variety of local beers as well as some solid chicken, steak and fish options! Definitely make a reservation and get the bread pudding for dessert! The service was fantastic and quick.

Kate Graumann

Kolton was Wonderful!! Best and most friendly server! Food and drinks were fabulous and well worth the price. Seating and food was delayed, but understandably so for lack of employees plus sold out Bucs game. Manager did a great job by making it a point to check on patrons and apologize for the wait. Due to the delays we ended up eating until well past closing, but we were never rushed. Overall great experience!

Sandra Hartman

I went to brunch for Kona Grill today and to my surprise they had a hospitality discount! Cami on bar was so sweet and courteous! Our sushi rolls were fresh and to perfection! The Manager Jordin was an angel and we had several laughs and sports competitions! 10/10 will return!

Sydney Harden

Kolton was a fantastic server! He made our experience so easy. He was very well attending and kept us happy! My order came out with no issues! When you come you need to ask for him 😊

Cotoya Swader

My husband and I are first timers and our server Synmone made sure we had an excellent experience! She was very professional, kind, understanding, & ensured she answered our questions positively with certainty. I literally watched her greet and serve multiple tables with a smile. I was thinking mannn she has to be tired, but her energy was matchless! We will most definitely be back and we’ll be bringing others because Kona Grill is the new spot!!! The service, food and drinks were EVERYTHING:)

HECTOR GARCIA

Sushi was alright. Not the greatest. Burger and sweet potato food was good. Also the miso soup was good.

Dat (Mr. VZW)

Had the greatest experience, came in just after happy hour and the staff was amazing and I have to say it started at the door with the manager Anthony, from beginning to the end he mad several point to stop and talk and made sure we had a great time. I have to say this was an all around great experience. First time and I'm definitely a fan.

Charles Mitchell

Came in around 2pm I witnessed a lot of parties around me but Symmone was fast and efficient on her service. I could see her coming inside and outside but she continued to remain positive with great energy! Jordin the manager stopped by our table and removed any excess plates. Experience was GREAT! Service was exceptional and so was management!

Keon Hines

Father's day reservations needed to eat here walk in not accepted. Service was slow when I was seated had to talk to a manager as a server hadn't visit the table the first 20 mins being seated. Once I was able to order had the bbq flatbread followed by the shrimp and lobster sushi roll and macadamia nut chicken with asparagus, mashed potatoes and Mac n cheese. Despite how things started it all ended well. Once we had the attention of the wait staff things couldn't of gone any smoother. I would go again just not on a holiday where the wait staff isn't being pulled in different directions.

Shelnes Elie

The service was excellent. Kelvin was our server and he explained the menu so well to us. Food was amazing. I came here on my birthday and will definitely come back more often.

Tahvia Shaw

I came to Kona Grill to Celebrate my friend's birthday and had the absolute best experience with Kelvin. He was friendly, knowledgeable and understood how important it was to us to give our friend a great experience. The food was delicious and the service was amazing.

Cannice Ellis

I had the ribs during my last visit and found them to be low quality, especially for the price point. Also, the temperature was lukewarm. I didn't complain because I was hungry and working with a time constraint. But my server was polite and the atmosphere was great.

Brandon Hicks

Pretty much a regular here, but first time having Jordann as my server and she was great! She was very attentive and recommended the Chilean sea bass that was amazing! Love coming here and will most certainly be returning, probably next week.

Tirza Doyle

Our server double charged us for my sushi. Both of us didn't receive our fingerling potatoes with our meal. My husband's mac and cheese was upgraded to lobster mac and cheese without us asking for it. And we were charged extra for it. My husband doesn't like lobster! We upgraded our steaks to waygu beef and mine was very undercooked and my husband's was overcooked. It would have been amazing if our dinner would have been correct, with more attentive service!

Rachel Jarard

Me and my boyfriend went in for late night happy hour and had Jamie as our server. He was very professional and kind. Food also always hits the mark. Definitely recommend!

Matthew Maresca

Raymond was hands down the best server I have ever had. He was attentive, a people pleaser and has a striking resemblance to aquaman. At first we weren’t even sure he was our waiter but after the second round of drinks and a successful drop off of our appetizers we realized his table service was on point. We will definitely be coming back soon.

Jacqueline Stone

I had lunch at Kona yesterday, my first time eating there. My server Chloe was very personable, the manager Jordann stopped by our table making sure everything came out great, she was so sweet and very attentive. Service was great, food was great, definitely will be back!!

d

Amazing experience! Deshaun made me feel like a vip. Awesome food and drinks

Emily Budd

katerina oneill

Kelvin our server was EXCELLENT! he was super friendly, personable and could tell you loved the food. He made great recommendations- we look forward to coming back

Popkorn Weerapol

Amazing date night out!, very romantic, great food, and great service! - definitely will be coming back! 😍

Ryan Butler

This place has a great atmosphere! Walked in, got seated right away, and the services was ever so splendid! Very nice hostess and waitress! We accidentally spilled our frozen drinks and our waitress, Kelli, helped right away. She kept our drinks filled and the food came out straight away! Thanks a bunch Chefs! Great time and cant wait to come back!

Alta Holliday

Jaime was a wonderful service, made us feel very welcome and well taken care of. Atmosphere was good as well, felt very friendly to all types of nights. I enjoyed the food too.

Suly

I think the price for the food it is too high. Went on a Saturday afternoon,we did not have a waiter for around 30 min when we get there. Definitely that made the experience no enjoyable.

David Pinner

Our server, Kolton, was fantastic! He was very attentive and had the best attitude. He made our dinner very enjoyable. The food was prepared perfectly and was delicious! We will definitely be back.

Awilda Anderson

The food and drinks were great. The waiter was very helpful. We got things in a timely manner and we enjoyed the environment as well. We will definitely go again.

Jessica Hughes

This was our first time visiting Kona Grill! Delicious food, desert, and coffee! Our waitress, Naama, was absolutely amazing!!! I absolutely recommend her! She made wonderful suggestions for food pairings and dessert. She was personable and funny and made our entire experience a lot of fun! I will definitely be coming back to Kona after having such great food and a memorable experience! If you are on the fence, definitely check out this UTC gem! 😁😁😁

Misti Davenport

We had the best dinner and drinks at Kona. We sat at the bar and the service was superb!! The bar staff namely Brett and Jasmine are not only attentive but make the best cocktails!!! You should definitely come and enjoy the awesome service and wonderful drinks!!!

Ryan Bounds

Service was great, food was even better! Loved the people and they were always willing to help out, whether it was the server assigned to our table or just other employees working at the time. Love Kona!

Sugar Bee

My family and I made reservations for a special person on her day of birth. Which was Valentine's day. Got there way before time so we wouldn't lose our table. We had to wait a very long time just to be seated. Can you tell me what was the point in making a reservation. Finally we were seated on the patio which made up for the wait. I have to say after eating the delicious food and viewing the surroundings it made up for the wait.

Gee Dawg

I loved almost everything about the experience here except the music was a little too loud. It would be fine if you're trying to party but for a dinner date of any kind, way too loud. The servers even had to yell. Food was great and the service top notch.

Patty Davis

We had a great time celebrating my daughter’s birthday at Kona! Our server Kelvin was amazing and made sure we had every thing we needed. We can’t wait to eat here again!

King Dimensions

The meatball, potstickers and avocado appetizers were excellent. We ordered the prime rib and ribeye for the main course. Steaks were cooked to perfection and our drinks were never empty. Would 100% recommend.

Rick Ahrens

Very disappointing overall. I've paid alot less for a much better meal. While our server(from Vegas) was sweet, she was also equally clueless and forgetful. Black mold around the AC vent is disgusting. Never made a Kentucky Mule garnished with a lemon, it's a lime!! My burger, a house specialty, was a pre formed patty that was nothing special, plus my burger order was mostly wrong. I won't be back. Anthony a Manager contacted me and promised to make it good and asked we come back. To date, I've seen nothing in my email, as he promised.

Jenny Mirusso

Met with some coworkers after work for happy hour drinks and apps. Our waiter Fernando was fantastic and the apps were delicious. We will definitely be back.

Bonnie Brown

The food was excellent! I got the KG cheeseburger with the lobster butter and mushrooms. It was delicious! Highly recommend it. Our Server, Alexandria, was the best!

Michelle Fairley

Today was my first visit at Kona Grill. The atmospher really nice! Great place for happy hour. Kelvin our server is amazing. Ask for him and he’ll take care of you.

Daniela Schuler

This place is too expensive and the food/cocktails are not worth the money. We ordered the Poke Ball which is supposed to be popular but it is way better at Bonefish. The sushi from Publix on wednesdays is better and the Margarita tasted like water. We paid $100+ for that. The service was good and the only reason I give them a 3 stars.

Savanna Cloutier

Came here today for the first time, and wow! I am blown away!!!!! Kelvin gave me the best service i’ve ever had in my life. He was extremely knowledgeable and explained the menu in full detail. He gave us the best first experience here. Will be back for Kelvin!

Miguel Perez

Great night with friends and family thanks to Jordan and ray!! Will definitely be back just for the laughs and entertainment

johana a

Jason and Raymond were awesome! I had a bad experience previously but these dudes turned it around! This time the food was great and drinks were great. Awesome prices as well! Will be back.

Helena Luzar

DeShaun took great care of my bestfriend & I this evening. If you come to eat here, DEF ASK FOR HIM! 🥰 …

Katie Adams

Ordered the ribeye and the special roll, beef tataki- everything came out great. The chicken satay was amazing! Our waiter was really nice and helpful.

Jason Hodges

Delicious food and a great happy hour special, even on Sunday. Server was knowledge and attentive. Nice atmosphere and interesting menu.

Barb Repko

If you love sushi this is the place to go! From the food to the service it was excellent. But I got to say the food was much spicier than I expected. I think maybe to spicy but It was excellent! Our server were awesome And I hope he didn't mind us teaching him a little bit about how top notch sake is served lol. Sorry guys but the really good stuff is never served cold! The best part of the meal though definitely the dessert... If you tried nothing else there you have to try the butter cake. That is to die for! I add some photographs maybe it'll let your appetite and you want to go down there and give it a try.

Gahn Group

Kelvin was awesome! Great energy and in depth knowledge of the menu. He clearly loves his job. We'll have to have Kelvin serve us when we visit Kona Grill again!

Tiera Elam

Amberly is thee best!! Awesome bar tender and awesome customer service all in one. She makes you want to comeback for more! Not to mention the menu is amazing. I had the chicken and shrimp lettuce wraps and omg I canNOT get enough! Love love love this place and Amberly makes it all the more worthy . It’s a pleasure every time 🥰🥰🥰💜 …

Pierce McFarlane

Great atmosphere, great food, and great service. Came here on a Tuesday night and had a great time! Sushi is top-notch, the margaritas have a GOOD amount of tequila in them, and the appetizers were fantastic!

JoAnn Brown

ANGEL, was our server and very attentive with his service to use. Enjoyed the food, atmosphere, the audience. Walking into the restaurant the hosts were inviting. The extra touch was rhe photo station. Will come again.

Linelle Creech

We went there to celebrate my birthday. Diego was our waiter and did a great job. Everyone is very nice and the food is great. Kona Grill is my favorite place to eat.

Jennifer Holtz

Jason is absolutely the most outstanding server in the entire restaurant. He helped us order the perfect drinks, apps & meal. Great night!

P Takehara

Food is delicious, the combination of Asian food. Highly recommended!

Elaine Nogueira

Had a girls night at Kona grill, and our server Hayley was extremely attentive and super nice. The food was delicious & would recommend. :)

Anna Huntsman

Great experience. Gluten free all came out and were quick to make sure gluten free soy sauce was also included with rolls. Service at bar was great!

Melvin Childs

Great atmosphere before a pro football game loves every minute of it. Prices were great food and dessert all passed my test. Loved the environment.

Melissa Packwood

Really loud music, slow service but we were there on Thanksgiving so I'll give a little but it was nearly an hour before we received our food.. Our server was sweet and friendly but we didn't see her very often, especially when our food was nowhere to be found.. They did give my husband a different drink at no charge since his didn't taste right, but some other discount would have been appropriate given that length of time we waited

Isaiah Dupree

Excellent food and great service. Excellent Presentation. Exquisite tea! My food had lots of vegetables! Perfectly sized and spicy portions at a reasonable price.

John Weng

The food was fantastic and the the staff was great and accommodating. Our server Hayley was especially fantastic. We could not give better regards. Highly recommend this place!!

Orlando Rodriguez

We ordered the Ribeye meatballs which I highly recommend. Comes with a little bit of mash potatoes that complimented it very well. As far as our entrees, great tasting but the temperature of the food was poor. First two bites were at room temperature and no part of it was hot.

Dayton “GOJlRA” B

Food was great, as expected from Kona Grill, ordered for pickup online, and their wifi was down, order had not been started, resulting in a full wait time anyway. Requested extra dressing for salad on initial order and when re-placed on arrival. Was given one small container when food arrived, had to ask for more (asked for 3 more), was given only 1, and it was 85% oil. Wasn't worth it to complain or send the hostess back yet again. This is not the first time I've had issues with this restaurant, and the customer service has very clearly fallen since COVID. I've had significantly more issues with takeout orders, then those meals that have been consumed on site. One of my favorite restaurants has seen progressive decline, and it's very disappointing. The comment below requesting feedback via an email- address is non-functional.

Dennis Davis

We had a great time celebrating my daughter’s birthday at Kona the food was amazing and we left full enough to have leftovers our server Kelvin was amazing and attentive would definitely eat here again!

Lisa Qualls

The Service Was All Around Five Stars. Atmosphere, Food, Everything was Top Tier And Very Reasonably Priced. The Presentation Was Amazing.

Richarda Light

I love the atmosphere and the staff is very friendly. Not one time did I have to ask them to refill my drink they were on top of it. And the prices are reasonable.

Kevin Carter

Diego was wonderful - super attentive and accommodating. Happy hour had great deals and delicious food. Enjoyed sitting outside on the patio.

Sandy E.

Amazing waitress, Julie. Food ordered was good but the chicken satay was dry. Will return again. Julie and manager took care of the issue.

joshua lopez

This is my first time at this establishment very nice, cozy, and wonderful service. Our waiter was very knowledgeable on all items we had questions on. A must visit on any special occasion

Caitlyn Souder

Kelvin was absolutely amazing. Wonderful customer service and very knowledgeable about the menu. He was really selling us and I wanted to buy 1 of everything! Amazing place.

Analyn Escobar

Over-priced and food wasn't that tasty. Sweet potatoe fries were too salty. Also fried rice doesn't really go with sea bass. Would have been better if it was served with white rice.

Ariana Silas

Me And My Friends Have Been Going To Kona For Many Years. Great Service Amazing Food. The Manager Is Always So Friendly And Kind. We Will Be There Tonight And I Can’t Wait! 10/10

Gustavo Duluc

Great service! Jennifer was amazing with her great service and menu recommendation. The menu has a great selection. Personally the salmon club was cooked perfectly and my wife's churrasco was well seasoned a little overcooked but still good to eat. The prices are on the high side but my son says they have 50% specials during the week.

Eugene Rooker

Great atomsphere. Julie did an exceptional job this evening. The old fashion was very memorable. We will definitely return.

Tyler Hanks

We had delicious food, and Julie was an enthusiastic and attentive waitress. Avocado egg rolls and steak was excellent!

Jasmine Spencer

Julie was GREAT! My friend and I had an amazing Sunday lunch out on the patio watching the turtles in the pond. Love the ambience.

The best place for friendly lunch in Tampa!! If you come here ask for Fernando!!! He will take care of you like no other !!! Kelvin is a great manager here who’s running a tight shop. You will not leave hungry 🤤 …

Good food, but way Understaffed. Long wait….poor server was all alone and she did a great job, but they needed a few more folks. Come on man!!

Mike Richman

Julie took care of us and she rocks! I recommend to dine there. Great food, great drinks, great service.

Quinn Ausburn

Wonderful experience. Great bar service. Our bartender Colton was hilarious, very knowledgeable and elevated our experience to the next level.

Russell Horton

If you can get here for the happy hour prices then it is easily a 5 star. If you pay full price at the regular menu then 4 star. Nice view of the water and an overall fun place. I had several types of sushi and all of it was good. Would come back again with no hesistation.

don nguyen

Had a great dinner with my family tonight the manager Jordan was great getting us to are table and are server mckynzie …she was one of the best server we had 10/10 in my books

Marg Vasquez

I was in town from Utah and had Hayley as our server, super impressive and had great recommendations. Food was fresh, I’d fly across the country again just for this restaurant!

; lol

Great food ! We loved sushi! And our server July was the best! Definitely coming back!!!

angela acosta

Great food, great vibes!! If ever in Tampa definitely 100% recommend! Hayley the server was amazing! I give this place 5 stars.

Nic Payne

My bartender Jazz had exceptional customer service skills! I didn't 3njoy my meal the last time I was here and their card processor was down but because of her I made sure I came back just to give her a tip and compliment even though I was not in here section today

Aaron Lyon

The food at Kona Grill is always amazing. They do a great job infusing island and Asian flavors. The seabass is always a go to. It is packed full of flavor because they marinate it in saki for 72 hours. They sushi is also really well prepared, very fresh, and well plated. During this visit we also tried the lemon grass clam chowder, which was fantastic, though a little pricey for a relatively small portion. The oriental salad was fantastic, and made for a great shareable appetizer. Of course no meal is complete without dessert and there are some great choices. We tried the bread pudding, coconut rum cake, and their famous carrot cake. Of the three the carrot cake won everyone's vote. Overall we love Kona Grill and will definitely return. The only reason I didnt give it five stars is because of the service we received tonight. Unfortunately the server forgot three different dishes that our group ordered and had to be reminded several times. We also had to constantly ask for refills and had several instances where we went ten or more minutes with empty glasses. Normally I would chalk it up to them being busy, but it wasn't overly crowded, and the server was only covering four tables. We have been to Kona several other times and I will say this was the first time we received bad service. That will definitely not keep us from going back.

Ramitha Herath

Went for dinner last night based on a friend's recommendation. Even on a busy Friday night, was able to get a booth quickly. Appetizers and main course came quickly too. Highly recommend avacado egg rolls and spicy shrimp tempura for appetizers and Las Vegas and shrimp and lobster rolls. Server was not too attentive and he was quite open about it saying he's busy with a table of 17!

Maris P

Julie was the waitress. I had an amazing time and meal. Everything came out as ordered and service was impeccable!

Raki B

Parking was a hassle. We made reservations, arrived at the set time only to find that out table wasn't ready, and we had to wait 30mins for them to find another table to seat 10+ people. It took well over 15mins for a waiter to actually attend to us. Eventually after getting service and food arriving I'd say I was satisfied. I had the Kona Stir Fry, and it was flavorful and fulfilling. The drinks were great as well.

Naomi Marie

The atmosphere and food was absolutely amazing!! The server was attentive and was amazing!! Next time I come, I will be asking for Devin to be our server. He really made us feel welcome and kept us happy!!

Charlotte Greene

Omg!! This carrot cake is homemade and amazing. It’s a gotta try. Devin is super kool. Atmosphere is second to none. Great place for happy hour.

Jack LaBrake

First time here. Happy hour prices and menu were outstanding. Dinner Menu has a lot to offer and is reasonably priced. The Calamari & Sweet chili Glazed Salmon was above expectations which is always nice. Our server, Symmone, was attentive, extremely helpful as well as very attentive to our table. Kudos to you Symmone and hats off to The Kona Grill for a great few drinks and dining experience . Symmone, thank you !

Tracy Huebner

The Kona is within walking distance of many hotels. The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable. Modern/chic but not over the top. The server was polite and very helpful with suggestions. I ordered the Picasso Kona sushi roll. Very nice presentation. Everything looked and tasted fresh. It was very enjoyable. It was a great value, substantial portions.

Nicole Mayfield

Devin was great very personable and made sure that our food was perfect and that we had a fantastic experience. We will definitely be back!

Funky Knuckles

Excellent servers, food, and atmosphere. Cami was patient, kind, and a joy to have as a waitress. I cannot recommend Kona Grill more.

Ulysses Owens

Kelvin is the BEST manager! Maria worked with him to make sure my brunch was the BEST!

Nicole Hernandez

This was our first visit to Kona Grill. Our server Michelle was amazing. She knew the menu well and gave us great recommendations. She was very attentive even though it was very busy. The foot tasted delicious the fried rice was great and the ribeye steak melted in my mouth. Dessert was enough for us both and then some lol. Overall it was an amazing first time.

Lauren Snyder

Lots of yummy food! I got the surf and turf with the filet and spicy tuna roll. We enjoyed some margaritas, specifically the watermelon margarita. Service was great, we weren't rushed at all.

Trovs8

Had a wonderful evening out with my coworker! After a long week it was nice to relax with the efficient, fun and great Ray and Joey. They made the best drinks! They also did not mess up our food orders! The sushi came out quickly and it tasted yummy!

Katina McRae

Kona grill was amazing!! The food was so good. & the rose’ was in point, along with the music. I ❤️ It here!!!

Anna Nocella

Our waiter Kelvin provided a fantastic experience. Suggestions were on point and the food was delicious.

Janice Greene

Meatballs were the appetizer recommended by Ray our server! Delicious and filling, however we still ordered a main course! We both had the poke bowl. One with salmon and tuna the other with just tuna. They were spicy and flavorful! The drinks we ordered were spicy margaritas and they had just right amount of spice! Great experience and great service by Ray!

Queen Kre Bling

Do you see this Carrot Cake!? It fed 6. 3 of which didn't even like carrot cake. They all ended up buying their own. #Queenkrebling Everything was super delicious!

shauneice johnson

Honestly the sushi was good, the Mac and cheese was a little bland as well as the macadamia chicken but what really made our experience worth it was our server Symone! She is very personable and Kona Grill is very lucky to have her! She is someone I would love to have in my own establishment. Huge thank you to symone for such a great time👏🏽

Alexsus Poole

First time at Kona Grill. It was a great atmosphere, friendly kind service. Logan was our server this evening, and his energy and customer service was great. Definitely will return!

Sonia Luna

Perry Cole

Had the ribs this time, they were delicious. The slaw that came with it was outstanding and I wanted more.

tara thompson

Ambience is very nice waitress professional fun and friendly. Food great. Steak cooked to perfection as as the Crimea sea bass.

Jennie Karnes

Frank was great - first time at the restaurant!! Check out the sushi and chicken satay (the avocado egg rolls were also great). Yum!

Fred Acevedo RTX

The only reason I left five star review is because our waitress Mrs Jasmine was amazing I bring my pregnant wife to have special day on a regular Sunday. The food was okay I think it's going to be 5 on 10. But our waitress was amazing she always take care of my wife about which food is good for her to get from the menu she was amazing and all the time smile I'm really good attitude like another type of waiters I will come back just to see her smile again she was really really nice!

Jorge Figueroa

First time coming back to Kona since the pandemic started. As always food was excellent and service was superb. Jordan took great care of us while we were sitting at the patio enjoying the sunset. Will continue to come back!!

Roshonda Royster

We came to Kona Grill for Happy Hour and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The food was AMAZING! I had the pot stickers, crunchy crab roll, and mango margarita. It was so good, I ordered another order of the crab roll. Our waiter, Ray, was on point. We had very little wait and his food and drink recommendations were spot on. I will be coming back!!

Thomas McGlone

Had our first meal here after seeing Hamilton at the Straz. Food was delicious and Julie's service was great!

Alexa Vandepoll

Went here for brunch and had Julie as our waitress. She was awesome and the food was delicious!

April Honorio

A co-worker and I recently went here for Happy Hour. The restaurant was packed so we were worried the service would be slow. On the contrary, the service and food were excellent! The manager Dashaun Callahan was exceptional! He seated us almost immediately, checked in on us a few times during our meal and always had a smile on his face. He ensured our experience was a good one. This man deserves a raise!! Please visit the Kona Grill. You will not be disappointed!!

Taylor Sanger

Delicious food, great value and great service. This is a restaurant I will enjoy on a regular basis. Thank you!

Jonathan Martinez

Food was amazing! I highly recommend ordering a bottle of “Two Vines” ( Cabernet Sauvignon), so smooth… Service was also great, our sever Steven was the best!

Tiffany Les

I will say from the moment I walk into Kona Grill and throughout my entire dining experience, I am very well taken care of with top notch customer service and food quality! I would specifically like to recognize Brett who is a skilled and personable bartender as well as Dashaun, the manager who exudes positive energy and impeccable professionalism and courtesy. Come one come all!!!! Great food, service, and staff in a quality area of Tampa ♥️

Michael G Roth

Great location. Sushi was tasty and the burger and sweet potato fries was killer. Kid friendly, nice bar, friendly staff.

Richard Estrada

Great experience at Kona grill! The food is fresh and the ambient was terrific. Camy was excellent, she gave us a great service, will definitely come back!

Karl Scheblein

Julie was our server, personable and professional. Great smile and great sushi!

Rosella Macon

Maria was the best server we had ever had on our first time coming to this restaurant or any restaurant love this place we will be back.

Mark Hannan

Back again for the second week in a row and it was still a great experience! The sushi was delicious! Dot, our waitress, was great! She made sure we were well taken care of and checked in on us often!

Dani Gu

We had so much fun! We came during happy hour and the prices were incredible for food that tasted amazing. Our server, Devin, was incredibly nice and made the entire experience even better. We will definitely be coming back!

Joseph Macchia

My goodness... can't say enough about this restaurant. Our server was fantastic. Kelsey was extremely helpful with menu suggestions as well as the attentiveness that was displayed. Kelsey came to the table frequently to check in as well as to accommodate us to ask of we needed anything out right away for our 2 little ones. The food was phenomenal. I had the tuna poke bowl over rice. Amazingly fresh tuna, great flavor with the perfect amount of spice. My wife had the salmon with the sweet chili glaze. Perfectly cooked, moist, flakey, the right amount of sweet to savory. My mom had the ribeye with a pineapple butter. I have to say I was initially pretty skeptical about a pineapple compound butter onto but I have to admit...I may order it the next time we're there. Needless to say we'll be back!!! Hopefully we sit in Kelsey's section again

Vytautas Laukaitis

Great food and atmosphere. Fernando is an amazing waiter, and Kelvin is a great manager- made our group feel like home

Michelle Locascio

Perfect service on a Sunday night. Great price for good champagne . - vueve cliquot . Amber was great ask for her!

Chris Albert

Love Kona grill. Best sushi in town and the kids bento boxes are amazing. We drive across town to come here.

Matthew Johansen

A great happy hour and quality sushi. 3 dollar draft beer! Alexis was a great server. Ambience is beautiful outside.

Valerie Holder

Brunch was amazing!!! Bottomless mimosas were GOOD! Julie was our waitress and she was amazing?

Isabel Valdez

Our first experience at Kona was amazing! We visited on the 4th of July and our three kids really enjoyed it! They loved the cute Panda Orange and they couldn't stop talking about how good the mini burgers were! Randy is the best server ever! The manager even came out to greet us! We will be back!!!!!

Ali

Came here for a group dinner and everything was great (food/service/atmosphere). Definitely would recommend.

Mia Michele

It was ok both too much rice when I asked for lite rice?

Monica

Hailey was amazing! Food was delicious and atmosphere was great. 10/10 would recommend

Kayla

yes ma’am, you better go here! ask for Bernie is you get a chance. SO personal and super speedy. His recommendations were top notch. Mojitos are wonderful & husband appreciates the 22 oz kirin. Gotta grab them on happy hour- our tab was only $33. We got 2 rolls, sashimi AND a flatbread. Speaking of which, (the bbq flatebread) is a little spicy & pretty heavy on the palette- just be aware. But overall, Bernie went above normal & we’ll be back. Thank you guys!!

Chanelle L

Literally the best happy hour I’ve had in a long while! Our server was Brett and he was incredible! He handled the rush himself and we felt very taken care of. The manager Dashaun was also great, he came over to check on us and had amazing hospitality! The vibe and music was great Definitely coming here for my happy hours from now on !

tatianya

Food was disgusting, service was slow (not because they ignored us, they were booked up) and food was cold and my rice was mushy and nasty. My "buttered noodles" also had a piece of paper in the butter, (about a millimeter but still, that shouldn't be in there.) 3/10 would not come back to this location again.

Beth Sickles

It was my first visit to Kona Grill. The staff was friendly and attentive and Randy did a great job serving us tonight. From the appetizers to the dessert we were all pleased. Definitely plan to come back!

Carole Joacilien

The food was actually good. The calamari was great. The Picasso sushi was awesome. The soul was good too.

Marcelle I

Food was great as usual, fast service, the patio water front view was amazing too. Shout out to my server Dennis who had a great sense of humor and enjoys dad jokes 😅 …

tyree strickland

Kona Grill treated us very well on the beginning of our vacation. Dot (our waitress) was extremely helpful with the menu and patient throughout our entire visit. I was basically full after the appetizer and they had this pineapple rum drink that I’m definitely coming back to try again!

Emilee Hain

Fantastic happy hour! This was our 3rd time this week 😂 fresh, light, great for the hot weather. We like coming early anyway to avoid the crowd at dinner time. Raymond was our great server!

Devon Marks

Absolutely excellent service from Kelsey. Fast, attentive and kind! Best server I’ve had in a while. Poke bowl is delicious but ask for no sauce if you don't like things to spicy!

Vanixa Solis

Kolton did an amazing job of taking care of us and giving great food and drink recommendations. My husband is a picky sushi eater and Kolton did a great job helping him find something he’d enjoy which he did. From start to finish of us entering the facility 5 stars all around. And of course we had to order the avocado egg rolls which were to die for as usual.

Aneeta manansingh

If you’re headed to Kona, make sure to request Kelvin as a server! So knowledgeable, friendly, and made for a great experience!

Alex Barrett

Julie is the best! Had a great time out to eat and she brought a bunch of great vibes to the table!

Sean Buchanan

This place left me feeling odd. It wasn’t enjoyable , but it wasn’t that bad. It’s not a place you’ll leave and say,”I can’t wait to come back.” It was completely dead at 7:30pm on a Saturday which baffles me. This place looks great but it’s honestly very generic. The food doesn’t wow you. The sushi while ok, didn’t taste fresh. The salmon looked discolored, and the sushi was very loose. Dessert was really good and the highlight of the night . Our server walked by every 20 seconds and it was apparent he was extremely bored . That made it a little weird trying to have a convo with my date and someone walking by non stop. My biggest pet peeve for a restaurant is the bathroom. This one was filthy. To me, if a restaurant cannot keep a bathroom clean I can only imagine what the kitchen probably looks like. My bill was right at 100 for 2.. we each had an alcoholic beverage, 2 appetizers, and a couple rolls of sushi followed by a dessert. To me I would definitely recommend spending a little more and going to an Ocean Prime . You will be wowed.

Taliyah Clark

This restaurant is amazing! I had wonderful service from the bartender Joey. Drinks were made quickly and tasted great. He was super friendly and I would love to be served by him again!

Scott Vacca

I had some Excellent Food. I had surf and turf with Crunchy Spicy Tuna rolls and Ribeye Steaks. My wife and I had excellent time .My server was Outstanding. We will visit again.

Mitchell Twins

Kona grill food was amazing! I’m typically a salmon eater but our waiter (Kelvin) suggested the sea bass and man was he right!! He’s really personable, knowledgeable and nice! Highly suggest this restaurant!

Mahogany West

Raymond was an excellent server & bartender, with only a little time until closing he still fully served without rushing. He was very patient with us while we decided what we wanted. I will definitely be back.

James Campbell

The service was impeccable, our waiter Fernando was great! I look forward to coming back.

Ronda Williams

The service was great from Emma on the patio tonight!! She was attentive and super pleasant. I am visiting my family from Mexico and this was a great pick!! Thank you I will be back when ever I’m in Tampa thanks Emma the mgt and kitchen staff

Virginia Muehl

Came for happy hour and our server was Jordann. She was amazing! She got us drinks and food and came to check on us often. Can’t wait to come back soon!

Timothy Macking

Food was ok. Told waiter that the garlic chicken had more fried junk than it did chicken. He said it hasn’t changed, always been that way. Wrong answer Rpoc. Desert was excellent.

R

The night started off slow and then Ms. Kelsey came to the rescue. Wonderful person and her service was a bonus. Kelsey saved our night and we appreciated her kind smile and wonderful personality.

Forest Ballinger

Happy prices are great but the food really isn’t. That must have made cost cutting measures because the quality of sushi, pot stickers, and lettuce wraps just wasn’t there for me. Lettuce wraps especially were about 80% carrots and celery. The other 20% might have been meat but I didn’t see it taste one bit of shrimp🤷‍♂️ Probably stick to drinks next time.

missy bradburn

Excellent staff, service and manger are all very professional. Kelsey was our waitress she did A++ on customer service and personality. Food was amazing. Highly recommend.

Kevin Ross

Food and drinks were great. Drinks were strong but in the good way where you know you’re getting your money’s worth. Steak was so big I couldn’t finish it and that rarely happens. Great service from Tamara!!

Victor Clay

Off The Top RAY Was Super Awesome… Fm His Conversation To His Service And Knowledge Of The Menu & Mixed Drinks… And To Cap Our Night, The Mgr Jam Was Just As Awesome… The Wife And I Will Forever Be A Super Fan Of KONA GRILL!

Hasani Lawson

Love the feel of this place. My waiter was very attentive. Just had appetizers and drinks but will definitely go back. Great place to try!

Melissa Greczy

We had a wonderful dinner tonight at the Kona Grill in Tampa. The food was excellent and our server, Maddy, did a wonderful job. This is our favorite place to eat at when we go into Tampa.

Rich Roberts

Kolton was an exquisite young man! He was intuitive to our questions, gave great advice on the menu, and everything was just like he described. He knew the menu backwards and forwards, and was so very nice!!! A+++++++++++++ We will be back very soon!!!!

Droku inflamed

I cant express enough just how great the food and staff are here. I had an mazing experience overall, at Kona grill, especially thanks to Jam, he is just amazing in the way he treated us, i am very pleased with me visit to kona grill. Jam definetly made the experience all the better.

Michael Sheffield

This place is beyond outstanding! The food is great, the staff is amazing, and a huge shout-out to the bartender Ray who went above and beyond to make sure my dining experience was on point! Perfect!

Leigh Bailey Davis

First visit. Fun & lively place on a Sat night w/the DJ. Server Kolton made our first experience memorable. The food…it is all about the ingredients and execution here. The calamari is lightly-breaded, accompanied by sauteed sweet onion slivers and tiny sweet tomatoes. Incredible taste combo. The fipping sauce was good, too. Next came the sea bass sliders. Marinated over 36 hours in a miso concoction, the subtle mixture of the slider layers made us yearn for more. The side of cucumber and krab salad in a peanut vinaigrette took the platter to another fab taste experience. Finally…macadamia-crusted chicken with papaya-pineapple sauce slurry. Sided by miso mashers and sautéed green beans, the tender, nutty chicken was cooked to perfection. We will return again snd again to enjoy this menu and service.

Jill Waters

Simone was amazing! Super personable and made our dining experience great. The sushi was great and the butter cake was superb!

Joshua McMorrow-Hernandez

My first visit to Kona Grill went so well! The food was wonderful, service as provided by Damien and DeShawn fantastic, and the ambience sophisticated. I’d go back in a heartbeat!

Tauni Hunter

Claire Wisth

Mckenzie was an amazing waitress! Super attentive and made the dining experience enjoyable.

Olivia Cloran

Kona Grill experience 10/10. We had such a good happy hour. Kelvin is a great server, very informative and fun!! Thanks Kona grill!

Charlie Summerville

Food and service was impeccable. Brett served us at the bar area. Drinks and food came out fast. They have a live dj the night we came in. Which is Friday the 14th of October. Also you can’t bear the happy hour.

Steven Lejarzar

This is a must go to place. Ask for Ray the bartender, he was amazing and went above and beyond for this 1st timer. His recommendations were spot on perfect. I will definitely come back and highly recommend to friends/colleagues.

Kena H

So far the best happy hour in Tampa Bay that I'vebeen to. The good was great! Drinks were good. The waitress wasn't all that but I can ignore that being as everything else was fabulous. I'll definitely be going back.

Ryan Miller

Our server was Luke and he is personable and attentive. The food is hands down some of the best in the area. I had the pepperoni flatbread and the pepperoni and mozzarella is fresh and perfectly cooked. The ambiance is relaxed and welcoming. I will be recommending this restraunt to anyone that asks.

Amber Wilson

Great experience. We spent the weekend here for a bachelorette weekend, and out of all the meals, this was the best we’ve experienced. Service by Brett was the best, so polite and tentative

Valezka Valentina Volcanes Porras

Excellent customer service. I’ll recommend it to everyone! Server Julie did an excellent job.

Rachel Smith

Vanesha Corpening

Julie was EXCELLENT!!! Good service and friendly. She was attentive and checked on us frequently.

pamela fosdick

*update* the restaurant was amazing about making things better and on the second visit the food was hot and delicious and came out quickly. Staff very pleasant. Literally the slowest service I have ever had. It was easily a 10 minute plus for our drinks to come out and they forgot to bring out appetizers. When the food did finally come out 2 plates in our group was luke warm. There was only 4 other tables with 2 -3 people in each at 730. The entire experience was almost 2 hours. Something I would expect during a dinner rush on a Saturday not 7pm on Sunday. The waiter was pleasant and my French dip itself was good except for the au juice which really was more of a brown gravy. Sea bass was excellent but too bad they only had one that was able to be ordered. Overall won't come back.

The Brackins

Set expectations appropriately. Mostly breading crumbs with calamari. 'Rib Eye" not actually a rib eye cut. Waitress was real nice.

Juanita Josiah

The food was fresh, the quality & quantity was fantastic. Our server was phenomenal. Wish I had gotten her name.

Alexandra Watson

Brett was absolutely amazing very attentive and nice. Food was so good! Happy hour here is awesome and great prices !! Will definitely come back!

Jaz was our bartender and she went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of 🙌 Love the fact Jaz is engaging and will make sure I am there as long as she is available to recommend drinks and food items that would be best to try.

Shyam Patel

Xavier was AWESOME. Highly recommend his service and if I owned a restaurant he’s the exact type of employee I would want. Was extremely kind and understanding.

Erinn and Tripp Michaelson

Always such a great experience here. The gm Anthony and entire staff was amazing on my most recent visit! Thank you for great consistent service!

Danaë Timmerman

Kelvin, our server was amazing. So knowledgeable, great recommendations and loved his energy! The food was excellent.

Carmine Torruella

Everything in this place is incredibly delicious and tasty. We had a great time as we had a birthday party. They even replaced the whole steak dish that was not cooked to my mom's liking (she does not like pink meat)

Drew Brannon

First time at Kona Grill. Skyler was our waitress and she had some great recommendations for us for both appetizers and sushi.

Funbi Olusola

Kelvin was an absolute delight. He was super friendly and very polite. He made our experience so amazing!!!

Julius Jones

I was too hungry to get just one thing off the "Happy Hour" menu, but the cheeseburger was good and filling. The house margaritas were okay.

Melvin Delgado

Jasmine was the best bartender, super attentive, hospitable, and attentive. 100% recommend coming here especially for brunch! Ask for Jasmine!

Misselle

I love this place, the atmosphere is very casual and relaxing. The outdoor seating by the water is fantastic. Sunday we saw a family of turtles. The food is great also. We had the avo eggrolls, sushi, and lemon garlic shrimp pasta. Everything was tasty. Sunday is happy hour all day with $5 apps and some half off apps, plus drink specials. Service was good and our food came out fairly quickly. Our waitress was a little inattentive, but very friendly. I can't complain too much. We still had a great time.

Raven Mumbauer

Our server Kyndal was great and very attentive! The food was amazing as well as the drinks.

Toni Phagan

Maddy was great! She was efficient, accurately paced our lunch, was very friendly and a great ambassador of the brand.

Muriel Borges

The food is amazing, but our server Liz was the highlight of our experience. She has been by far the most attentive, professional, and kind server I’ve ever had. Over the top customer service. Liz made sure to upsell the sushi rolls and we ended up trying a new roll we had never tried- the coconut shrimp roll, and an appetizer of the avocado egg rolls. Very pleased, will be coming back.

Alexander Marius Condoroteanu - Oroveanu

Wow! From the hostess to the server we had 5 star service. I brought my girlfriend on our anniversary to the restaurant and the hostess saw that and asked if it was our first time and we said yes. She brought us to a secluded area with a water view. Then our server Steven took amazing care of us. He gave us space but also was very caring. He recommended us amazing drinks and entrées that didn't disappoint. We will be coming here again no doubt!

Christian Wilson

ona Grill has a pretty good happy hour. If you sit outside, you get to enjoy the happy hour from 3 pm to close from Monday to Friday, plus all day Saturday and Sunday. They also have a good selection of sushi, other than the traditional sushi rolls, they also have special Kona rolls. Each sushi roll costs between $10 to $20. My friend and I came here for dinner, didn't utilize the happy hour because it was cold outside. I got the avocado chicken club, and my friend got the poke bowl. Each of them cost less than $15. Our food came with a nice presentation, and my chicken club tasted pretty good, the bun was puffy and warm.

Elijah Hassan

Firstly, the food is amazing, especially after a day out with friends. The atmosphere is also very welcoming, which let us relax and catch up even more. Secondly, our server Devin was beyond helpful on offering certain dishes to try and was very attentive to our needs, and pretty energetic as well, which made us feel even more welcomed. Will definitely return back soon for our next outing. Overall great experience 😊

Jayrelix Castro

I came here for a birthday celebration they were pretty amazing quick and attentive. I did have a couple of issues with food coming to my table my sister asked did a medium steak and it was really bloody like a medium rare and I asked for a medium well and it came out super pink like medium also a couple of my sides came out wrong I asked for Mac n cheese and fries I received Mac n cheese and green beans then later on received mashed potatoes that I didn’t ask for. At first I ordered the stir fry with chicken and it is really spicy so the waitress asked if I wanted less spice and I said yes but still came out super spicy oddly enough my mom ordered the same thing and she wanted it to be spicy but it was less spicy than mine so I don’t know if there was a confusion just like my steaks but besides that the experience was great they paid for my meal and gave us a free dessert for the trouble will def recommend to other people.

GAVIN HORNSBY

First time at Kona and dinner was amazing!!! Sat us down right away at the time of our reservation. Liz served us with wonderful suggestions and was truly on top of her game. Liz was as amazing as the food! My ribeye was cooked just as I ordered it and the butter toppings on mine and my date’s were awesome!!! The green beans were some of the best I have ever eaten and I have eaten plenty! Thanks to Liz And Kona for a wonderful evening!!!

Jay Roman

We have been here 3 different times, 3 different occasions. Food is excellent. Atmosphere is wonderful. Appetizers are great, sushi is phenomenal. Anything we have ever had here, wonderful. Highly recommend

Laurie de Paulsen

This was our first experience at Kona Grill and it has been amazing! Our server Raymond and all of the staff have been exceptional. Food was awesome!!! We tried a variety of appetizers and our mains were delicious! We brought our children and they each had a different bento box - all looked delicious and they ate the whole box. Our adult meals were great - prime rib and Asian salad with the filet. We also had the carrot cake for dessert. We will definitely be back!!!

Jennifer Richardson

Julie was hands down the greatest server!!! Really great food

majid ibrahim

This restaurant is nothing but WOW. Such a great clean and nice restaurant. Food was more than great it was fresh and very tasty. And when it comes to the hospitality Alexis was the most polite professional and nice hostess that any one would like hire her as she was very courteous and knew what to recommend for us. So yes I definitely recommend this restaurant. Thanks to all for the great experience which is very rare now days in Tampa.

Valerie Ayer

Just arrived in town and selected Kona Grill as my dinner eatery. Such a wonderful choice. I had the Kona Grill stir fry- delicious!!!! Devin was our server/host and i must say he was wonderful! He made sure we were well taken care of by welcoming us to Kona Grill and making menu recommendations. Wonderful experience!🥰 …

Makayla Pasco

Came in to dine with my family for a Birthday celebration and our service from Jordan was beyond impeccable. There was quite a few guests who were rather needy; she was so patient & efficient to cater to their needs. The manager Stephanie stopped by the table and assisted with ensuring everyone was satisfied with the dining experience. We will definitely be back again! If i could give Kona Grill 10 stars i would.

Deb

Great food with exceptional service by Cami! First time here so we had a lot of questions regarding the menu and Cami was so helpful. She recommended the surf and turf which was phenomenal. We go out to dinner a lot and a great waitress makes or breaks the experience. Cami went above and beyond with her friendly personality and beautiful smile. We will definitely be back. Thank you Cami!!

Catherine Austin

Really nice ambience and great wait staff. The food is all really good, not my absolute favorite but a good go-to spot for regular days. I had the sushi and original butter cake. Can't go wrong with either. Enjoy!
