Went here for a work luncheon table of 7 amazing service food was excellent! Our server did not skip a beat and took excellent care of our table. Sometimes when you’re a large group, not all the entrées come out in a timely matter leaving one or two people to wait midway through not the case here. we look forward to returning.!

We had a great dinner for date night that included our large pup. We had a note that he would be joining us in the reservation and we requested patio seating. They have good overhead heaters so the temperature was not a problem. The food was amazing! We had the loco moco and the seafood linguini. Our pup had a steak from the doggy menu. No room for desert, but we will be back to try some.

This was by far better than I expected. The ambiance was a vibe, the food was great. The service was exceptional. The pricing was worth every penny. I had the best time celebrating my birthday. We will be returning.

Kona has an excellent menu to choose from. The service was fine, however the waitress charged me for a glass of house wine, that I didn’t order. I examined by tab and pointed out the charge to the waitress. The charge was taken off my tab.
