As a food critic I enjoyed dinner last evening. We had an outstanding waiter named James who was extremely attentive and made sure we had a great experience. The food was well served and drinks were excellent. Let me say the managers were very friendly and made sure everyone was happy with their meal. Thank you for a lovely evening. Lois V

We had to ask our server at least 5 times about our food. Still couldn't figure out what we ordered. We ended up getting up to get water or asking another server. It shouldn't have taken 50 minutes to get bar food and then it took another 4 trips from the server to get the rest of the appetizers. It had to have been the worst service ever.

Kona Grill in Cherry Creek was a whole vibe. The shrimp pasta? Chef’s kiss. Creamy, flavorful, and I didn’t want to share. The Picasso roll had just the right amount of spicy, like a little flirt for your taste buds. The steaks were cooked to literal perfection and the watermelon mojito mocktails were so good I forgot they were mocktails. Ten out of ten would sip again. We ended with the brownie and wow… gooey, rich, and dangerously good. And the patio? Too cute. Already planning my next visit.

It was my third time at Kona and as always the Sunset and Picasso rolls were our favorite! The staff there is always really kind and helpful too. We sat at a booth which is my favorite there as it’s comfortable the whole time. Street parking was easy to find. Surprisingly the side salad always a great size. We left feeling like the taste of Kona was a great bang for our buck! Enjoyed showing the restaurant to my mom!

AMAZING 1st time experience! The filet was so tender & flavorful! Sushi is the best we’ve found in CO! Cocktails are fantastic. The patio is open to the restaurant, shaded with fans making it the perfect summer spot. Our server James made us feel like family! The host who seated us (I think his name is Tashay) was so welcoming & even checked in on throughout our meal. Best 1st experience EVER! Service, food & atmosphere is the BEST around Denver!

Nice restaurant, I only had chicken lettuce wraps which I did not like as chicken was salty and soggy. My friend enjoyed the sushi rolls.

We want here for Father's Day and were sorely disappointed. First off, the music was really loud, so it was difficult to have conversation. We placed our orders and my dad got sushi which they brought out 20 min before any of the rest of our meals but they didn't bring chop sticks or sauces and didn't circle back to the table for 10 min. Then, after 20 min they brought out 5 more meals, but we still had 2 people who didn't get their meals yet. That happens, but typically you expect them to arrive shortly after. Not the case... My mom's meal came 15 min later and my husband's 20 min later so they had to watch us eat and just when we finished our meals, theirs arrived and we watched them eat. The waitress never checked on us during that time or explained what was going on, nor did she refill drinks or ask if there was anything she could do given the situation. If she had only explained or even refilled drinks and checked on us, it would’ve been acceptable. Most food was good. However I got a filet and it was suboptimal. I get filet mignon at every restaurant and this did not seem like filet. It was skinny, like a cm thick which is very unusual for filet given the cut of meat it is. Also, it was full of gristle, something else that you shouldn’t have in filet. The manager did adjust our bill for the two late meals and covered dessert but it was still $300 and that’s a ton of money for a meal that was all around disappointing.
