   the service was slow and the food was okay, but not worth the price. the menu is fairly limited so it would seem they could do a better job with the items that they do have. I don't see us going again.

   Kona Craft KitchenResponded 1 day agoHi David, Thank you for visiting Kona Craft Kitchen. We are sorry you left our brunch feeling this way. We strive for excellence everyday. I wished you had brought this to our attention while you were there so we could have possibly rectified the situation.

   First visit and we were wow!ed. We tried a few small plates, a salad and an entrée. We had the mussels, the carrots, the salmon poke, the watermelon salad and the scallops. Each dish was fantastic - flavorful, beautifully presented, fresh and complex flavor combinations. Our server was helpful and incredibly welcoming. The bar/events manager came to our table to discuss bourbon with my partner. Our experience was fantastic beginning to end! We can't wait to return.

   Kona Craft KitchenResponded 1 day agoHello, Thank you so very much for the great review. We are so incredibly fortunate to have such an amazing staff. I will certainly make sure our they all have access to your review. We look forward to having you back soon!

   Great service. Menu is not great. Small portions and is way overpriced! Husband had the scallops (3) on a bed of rice and back beans which are inexpensive $33 basically for 3 scallops. Didn’t realize there is a tax from Bridge Park added to the bill.

   Kona Craft KitchenResponded 1 day agoHi Terri, Thank you for the review. We just launched our new menu on Monday, March 20th. We realized after your review we made an error on the amount of scallops for this dish. We have since corrected this on the recipe for our cooks moving forward. To clarify, there is a tax for Bridge Park that is required to be collected and displayed. Every restaurant in Bridge Park has to collect this, we choose to be transparent.

   Went for a breakfast and this was a new place for us. Picked it out from the name only. We love Hawaii and was expecting a great Hawaiian brunch. The menu was not as robust as I was expecting and was lacking the typical Hawaiian flair I have seen in Kona. The food was okay just not what I was expecting with a name like Kona Cafe. The breakfast burrito was ok. The biscuits and sausage were too peppery for my liking. Look up Pele’s Kitchen in Pahoa for a reference of what I was expecting. The restaurant itself was nice and our server was great. I wouldn’t put this on my brunch rotation.

   Kona Craft KitchenResponded 1 day agoThank you for visiting Kona Craft Kitchen. Our name is in reference to the Kona Coffee we ship in from Kona, Hawaii on a weekly basis, from a single origin farm. I am sorry if you misunderstood, but we are not a Polynesian restaurant, we specify that we are New American cuisine. We pry ourselves on the fresh aspect with our options. Our Executive Chef works direct with Costal Local for our fresh fish options. We just launched our new spring menu on Monday, March 20. We hope to see you back.

   The appetizers and drinks were good, the main dishes were not worth the price. The noise level was awful, we couldn’t hear what anyone at our table was saying, we could only hear the people around us talking because of the echoing in the space. Our server took quite a long time to get to our table initially and then was pretty absent most of the rest of our time there. When it came time to get our checks, we had to flag her down because she was hanging out at another table chatting for about 10 minutes, ignoring the rest of her tables.. I saw another table having to wave her down as well to get their checks. Had high hopes for this place, won’t be returning.

   Kona Craft KitchenResponded 1 day agoHello, I am sorry to hear you left our restaurant dissatisfied. This is not how we want anyone to feel. Its hard to hear that one of our servers was inattentive to you. I do wish you had mentioned this to us at the time so I could have rectified the problem while you were there. We do hope we will see you again.

   Very loud. Service was slow. Mussels dish was almost too hot to eat. Server should let folks know. A few months ago we stopped for coffee and a morning snack - that was very nice and why we came back for dinner. We won’t ever be back for dinner - coffee, maybe.

    Sat in back section. Cold outside; when rear door opened a blast of frigid air chilled our table. Noise level prevented me from hearing those across the table. But coffee drink was awesome! Will revisit in summer for brunch and try the pastry and another coffee drink.

    Kona Craft KitchenResponded on March 20, 2023Hello, Thank you so much for choosing to dine with us and for the review. I am so sorry that the cold air was an issue that evening. There happened to be a local St. Patrick's Day Pub Crawl event going on and they used a door that typically is only used for our patio in the warmer season. Again, my apologies this has not been an issue before. We do look forward to you coming back, we have an amazing staff that works hard everyday to offer a great experience.

    Latte lukewarm Food was nice Server was very pleasant but either too many tables or people who bring out food were slow / latte Luke warm 3 of us for brunch - 1 coffee brought ( did I say lukewarm yet?) other lattes brought to table about 5 minutes later. Food also not brought out all together - had to ask for item not brought to table. Never replenish water. Very slow to bring check or take away dirty dishes. Generally seems disorganized like each person only had one job and that is all they do.

    Waited 15 mins past reservation time for seat. Waiting long for chips and queso, but they realized that and gave them to us free. Ordered burger and chicken sandwich, which comes with fries or salad. We weren’t asked which one we’d like and we both would’ve preferred salads, but it came with fries. Overall, pretty good, but wasn’t overly impressed.

    Our main entree’s, Hangar Steak, NY Strip, Crafted salad and Smash burger were excellent. The Mussel appetizer was extremely spicy and took away from the taste of the mussels. My tongue was on fire. We only received one order of mussels when we ordered two which meant we had to wait for our other order. Our calamari appetizer was outstanding. We waited nearly 20 minutes to get our cocktails and received our appetizers before our drinks. The overall vibe of the restaurant was very loud. We could hardly hold a conversation at our table. The food was very good however, the restaurant was not in sync with their service, timing and acoustics. Not what you would expect from a top rated restaurant.

    When we went in we were asked to keep our stay to 90 minutes since they had other reservations. The entire time we were there there was no line and there were always empty tables. The size of a cappuccino or latte is the same size as a cup of coffee. When it was requested to have just a little coffee put into the latte cup we were informed that they would have to charge for a full cup and they do not do free refills. This is the third time I have been to Kona and really enjoyed the first 2 times, but this experience will make me think twice about going back

    Kona Craft KitchenResponded on February 28, 2023Hello, We appreciate you choosing to dine with us on several occasions. Please allow me the opportunity to explain the coffee cups and sizing. Our espresso is a double shot and approximately 4oz, our cappuccino's are 8oz, our latte's are 12oz and our coffee is served at 12oz. All 4 hot drinks come in our beautiful pink cups, which are all different sizes of cups. We fly Kona coffee in every week from Hawaii and like all boutique coffee shops we do not offer free refills. We hope to see you back!

    We've been to Kona before and it's my wife's favorite place to go. Unfortunately we will likely not be going back for a while if at all. Service was extremely slow. It took over an hour and 15 minutes to get our entrees. It was a Thursday so I can only imagine what a weekend would be like.

    Everyone was really nice and I wanted to love Kona. I love the coffee and treats but the meals have been sub par. The hanger steak was pretty much raw. I brought it home and had to keep cooking it. Sat at 715 and left at almost 930. The manager was very nice. I hope they can get their food up to their coffee quality

    We were very excited to finally have a chance to try this restaurant. The menu was right up our alley and I’m a big fan on Hawaiian Kona Coffee and I’m also a local business owner so I’m all about supporting fellow Dublin businesses. It was happy hour, which is a great deal!! Half off drinks and appetizers. We each had a Pimm and Proper wich was delicious, light and very refreshing!!The The Salmon Rillette was the star of the show. 10/10 we’d definitely go back!

    It’s always a good experience at Kona Craft Kitchen~the service, food & ambiance! They have thought of everything to make your dining experience enjoyable. Beautifully decorated, lit & quiet. The food & cocktails are carefully crafted, unique & delicious! I had the halibut with coconut curry rice which was so tasty that I cannot wait to go back & have it again soon!

    Everything about it was very good except the price of their drinks. They charge an absurd amount for pours of bourbon…nearly triple what other restaurants on the same street charge for the same thing. Two entrees and 4 drinks (2 of them their special cocktail of the day) was $177 pre tax and tip. I got my bill and paid $31 each for two pours of Henry Mc Kenna. Last time it was $45 per pour for EH Taylor Small Batch. Food is good, service good enough and nice facility, but drink prices are outrageous.

I wish you would have said something while we were talking, we would have addressed it immediately. We have over 180 different bourbons/whiskeys and our intention is to make these as approachable as possible. Due to your feedback, we will be making adjustments to our pricing and we hope to continue with our standard 2oz pours compared to others at 1.5oz

    My husband I went to Kona Grill for lunch on Valentine’s Day. They were very short-handed but it looked like everyone from hostess to Cook staff was assisting. Our waitress, Julie, couldn’t have been more welcoming and composed despite all the tables she was serving. Our food came out quickly and was delicious and hot! Just a wonderful experience! We will be back!

    Kona Craft KitchenResponded on February 17, 2023Hi Bonnie, Thank you for spending time with us on Valentine's Day at Kona Craft Kitchen and Bar in Dublin. We are fortunate and count our blessing everyday for the amazing staff we have. I will certainly pass along your compliments to Julie! We look forward to having you back soon!
