   Food is ok but not worth the prices. The coconut shrimp rolls were decent but very little shrimp. Edamame appetizer never came. The place had a musty bar smell.

   So interestingly enough, the food at Kona Grill is outstanding (at least every time I’ve come). However, the service was poor yesterday - and it really came down to no communication. Our waitress was either new or just all over the place because we sat down at 6:40PM (our reservation was for 6:30) and immediately put in an order for two salads and two drinks (water and mosco mule). She came back with the drinks about 10 minutes later and walked passed us up until 7:10PM, when I asked about our salads, she said, “the kitchen is backed up”). Ok! I found that to be strange given I saw food plates coming out to other tables. I looked over to the left of me and saw the table that sat after us with salads and entrees on the way. This is now around 7:20PM (almost 30 mins later) that I mention how the table to the left that sat after us had salads on the table and one of the guest had their entree… she apologized and said she was going to the back to check. 7:25PM I escalate to one of the supervisors that I’ve been sitting now for 30 mins with no salad and I was growing concerned that my food wouldn’t make it out either. He went to the back and immediately I had my daughters salad, my salad came afterwards and our food came around 7:40PM (oh yes - I clocked everything because I couldn’t believe it). The food was really good but was it worth an hour wait, NO. I would’ve been OK with the waitress simply saying she forgot to put in our salad order (because that’s what happened and as humans people make mistakes) but it was the way she kept blaming the kitchen and even said someone “took her salads” to a diff table. The truth is, if she wouldn’t have been so concerned with talking to her friends who were seated behind us, our dining experience would’ve been a better one. Again, the food was great - but if dining here be sure to stay on top of your servers. This was definitely not the expectation I had - especially since I was dining with my neurodivergent child.

   Options for seating could have been better, considering a reservation was in effect.

   I used to enjoy going to Kona, but it has really changed since reopening after the pandemic. We had a 6:15 PM reservation. Arrived at 6:10PM. Wasn't seated until after 7PM. Asked a few times if they forgot about us because people who didn't have a reservation were being sat. Although the service was fine, the food took forever, and it was just meh. Next time I spend $250 out on dinner, it will be at a restaurant that offers an experience well worth that price because Kona did not.

   Always a great visit at Kona Grill. The food was wonderful. I had the spider sushi and the lemon chicken penne which was very good. My husband had the 7 oz filet which is now one of his favorites at Kona. Our server did a great job. It was a very busy Friday evening but she kept checking in.

   Service was extremely slow, it took 1hr and 30 min to get food for 4. Waiter forgot one of our appetizers but still try to charge for it. We made opentable reservation and specifically mentioned we were celebrating a birthday- I reminded the waitress. She did nothing about it. Did not even say happy birthday to our daughter. This was so embarrassing. Kona Grill- we shall not return!

   The food was excellent. They were out of the main dish (Sea Bass) and adult beverage that one of us requested first. A sign of the times. Our server appeared inexperienced, but also a sign of the times. The Open Table reservation asked if we were celebrating anything special. I selected Anniversary, and also added in the comments that we were celebrating #28. It was not acknowledged at all by the front desk staff or server. Overall, ambiance was nice and food exceeded expectations.

   Kona Grill was a wonderful experience! Food was great, as well as service, atmosphere and location. My only feedback is I feel the menu was a bit overpriced, but otherwise, all was fantastic.

    First time. We didn't like it at all. Too casual for the price. Expected a much higher quality of food for the location. Outside concert contributed to the noise level but it was loud dining.

    This meal was almost fantastic except for the fact that we had to wait 20 minutes beyond our reservation time, while they continued to sit many parties that were waiting ahead of us that had just walked up. In my opinion this is the fault of management and not the hostesses, and it should never happen to this extent. You either sit tables based upon first come first served, or have a reservation system. The waitress that served us was great and the food was s very good. We will likely try them again, and become a frequent diner as long as they sit us within a few minutes of our reservation.

    My family and I went for the first time to Kona Grill in Avalon for Father's Day. I was pleasantly surprised in every category. Not to mention, Kona provided the earliest brunch time - 10am. I will recommend this restaurant to all my family and friends. Thank you Kona for a great Father's Day experience!

    Despite not being very crowded there was a 40 minute wait for a table. I understand it was probably attributed to staffing issues. We opted to sit at the bar. The bartender was less than friendly and seemed annoyed in general. He did not check on us to see how our food was or ask if we’d like another drink. The food was good, but the atmosphere was loud and the service lacking.

    The food was good but presentation was not great. The sushi roll we ordered fell apart and the avocado egg rolls were smushed on the plate. It was very loud and you have to almost yell for the other person to hear you but our server was very nice.

    Way too crowded and noisy, even at 6 pm. Took forever to park. Took 30 min to get our reserved table. Avocado egg rolls were bland and overpriced. Two attempts at overpriced margaritas were poor and I had to remind them to take thrm off the bill. My chicken stir fry was excellent but overpriced. I thoroughly enjoyed my dining companions so that was a positive. I went there because of previous good experiences, but will probably not return.

    I had a reservation through open table at 5:30. I checked in with the hostess at 5:30. She told me to wait and I would receive a text when my table was ready. At 5:45 I still had not received a text that our table was ready. I asked the host to check. She said that my party was already seated. Actually, they sat another party at our table and we had to wait for another table. Then they seated us in a dark corner right behind the hostess stand where our drinks were refilled only once because we asked.
