    We went a Kona Grill and got seated outside. The hostess said we could choose any table, but the tables surrounding us were all dirty and not cleared. Finally, we found a table, and shortly after another couple got seated at a table behind us. We waited for 20 minutes. Our server never came, but the server to the table behind us came to take drink orders and brought them drinks, never acknowledged we were sitting there never said oh let me get your server so after 25 minutes we got up and left, and no one even noticed. Never will go to this restaurant again and the whole time we were there all the dirty tables still did not get cleared.

    Food was way too expensive for the amount and taste. The dining room has carpet and smells so horrible, smelled like it hadn’t been cleaned in years so it was something I wanted to be smelling while eating. Wish I could get my money back.

    The quality of the food was not good. Ordered Kona Stir-Fry and Lemon Garlic Penne…both with chicken. Over sauced and pea-sized pieces of chicken. The ambience is more that of a club/bar and not conducive to a dining atmosphere. Primarily due to the music…which was much too loud and more like club/dance music. Not the same Kona Grill. Just another corporate owned chain charging NYC prices for microwave-in-a-bag meals.

    food was moderately good. We had a slight issue where one appetizer came out and we waited 10 minutes for other guests food to come out. Then 2 minutes later both entrees came out...need to expedite better. Luckily our appetizers were cold ones so but still, need to space out courses better. Server was nice but when we needed him he was no where in site to order more drinks. over all ok but probably would not go back

    The food is mediocre and way over priced! The whole restaurant needs cleaning, carpets are falling apart, and there’s so much dust on top of the air condition ductwork that needs to be cleaned. The wait staff was decent, food came out fast, but pretty much tasteless in a way way way over priced.

    Went to Tampa for my girlfriend's birthday and stopped by here as it seemed like a great place for a birthday dinner. The food was a bit pricey but the happy hour menu was certainly a great help. We had an issue with her steak as it was cooked a bit more than wanted but was fixed asap and the staff was very understanding about it.

    Not good. Very bad. It took multiple follow ups on the status of our brunch orders and 90+ minutes of waiting for our food to come out and then it was wrong!! We just wanted a semi-quick bite to eat before the airport and ended rushed and stressed and hungry after the unappetizing food finally came out that we had to get in to go boxes and try to eat in the car. Awful service. Will not be back.

    Solid experience. Noise/music was a little much for an evening dinner. Everyone enjoyed their meals. One had a peanut and treenut allergy and the kitchen was able to accommodate successfully. Hardest part about this area is finding parking.

    Don’t offer reservations at 11:30pm and 11:45pm. The entire staff was clearly ready to go which is not fair to us nor them. The sushi roll we ordered was warm. Pot stickers were greasy and the drinks tasted like happy hour, weak and poorly made. We had our first date here 6 years ago and for some reason I thought Kona Grill would still be as amazing. However we won’t be returning.

    The food here was fantastic! Highly recommend the carrot cake for dessert. The service was a little slow, but staff was courteous. Good service for sure, but not with those extra touches. Bathroom needed attention. There was plenty of seating here. We went to the restaurant next door for a nightcap, and there was a long wait to get in for dining.

    The food was good, our service was “meh”. She was more interested in how the guys felt about their food/ drinks then the ladies. The price was high for what we got (two dinners, a kids meal, a bottle of wine, a sake flight and 2 sangrias… with tip, $220.) We did not have a bad time but I doubt we will be coming here again.

    I can confidently say that Kona Grill has been the worst dining experience in my life. The service was terrible, the management was terrible, they kept serving the wrong food to the wrong tables, bringing entrees before appetizers, not refilling drinks in a timely fashion…. It was so bad I couldn’t get myself to tip them which has never happened to me ever before.

    Not very good experience at all. Our appetizer the ribeye meatballs were cold. We sent them back. The new order came out and they might’ve been a couple degrees warmer so they were warm, but still not hot… At this point we were hungry, so we ate them. My wife’s entree came out hot and my entrée came out with the chicken being hot but the mashed potatoes and asparagus were cold. So I sent them back. They delivered me a second mashed potatoes and asparagus. This time the Asparagus was freshly cooked and hot but the mashed potatoes were cold again. The third time the potatoes were finally Hot. No Follow Up by a manager or nothing. Even our server did not come back by after that. We figured out that we had to pay the bill by the device on the table. So we did and then we left.. I guess we should’ve trusted our intuition when we showed up on a Friday night at 5 PM in the dining room was 7/8 empty. It appears that they are not doing well and so therefore that attention to detail is not there at all. Which is very sad because this could be a great restaurant.

    Waited 20 minutes for a drink to be told that the bottle wasn’t chilled and we would need to switch to a different drink. Tried to switch to a certain margarita and they were out of the tequila. Was also told that they were out of the sake to put on top of sushi in order to light it. The server even said that “85% of the time, we’re out of the items”. Just seemed like nothing was in stock. Food was okay, but not what was expected.
