    My mom, daughter, and I throughly enjoyed our visit to Kona Grill! We first visited a year ago, and enjoyed it so much that we made it a point to return! I love the tasting menu that is offered! It’s a fabulous selection of foods for an even better value. The salads were fresh and delicious, my steak was beautifully cooked, and my daughter raved about the chocolate cake; unfortunately I wasn’t able to have a dessert due to food allergies. Speaking of food allergies, I was very impressed by how contentious our waiter was regarding my allergy. The effort he put in to making sure that my allergy was respected was exceptional! I look forward to my next trip to Baltimore so that I can make another visit to the Kona Grill! Thank you!

    Beautiful night and view of the Inner Harbor. Went prior to Jason Isbell concert that was literally steps away from the restaurant. Our server was very knowlegable and friendly. She made a number of great recommendations from the menu. So rare these days to go to a restaurant where the food is great, music isn't blaring and the staff is on the ball.

    I made a last minute reservation for Father's Day and it was well worth it. So many choices to choose from and the atmosphere was amazing. Everything we had was great and we will not hesitate to return to this location again.
