    Sam was amazing! So helpful and attentive. The food just as amazing. Shrimp tacos were delectable. The carrot cake has such amazing taste and texture. Can’t wait to come back!

    I took my daughter here for Valentine's Day dinner. The customer service was exceptional even though the place was wall-to-wall people they still took time to say hello and had champagne to celebrate Valentine's Day while we waited for our table. We had sushi to start, and it was delicious. I don't believe that it was worth $22. I've had this particular sushi roll at other places for half the cost taste just as good I had the steak and lobsters special for $70, and she had the salmon. the lobster was good, but it did not have any dipping butter. The steak was tender and perfectly cooked but had little to no flavor or moisture, which I found to be odd. I am not a steak sauce person, so I expect more flavor for a $70 meal. My daughter's salmon was perfectly cooked and moist. It also did not have a lot of flavor. Unfortunately, I think Kona Grill is afraid to add flavor due to individuals with medical conditions. Overall, I think the name is what Rises the cost of the food. I don't believe that I would recommend Kona Grill for the amount of money that I spent.

    Dec 21st. My birthday as well as many other birthday parties were going on at the same time. The property was packed, Reservations I'd say are a must! Unless you enjoy waiting. We were seated on time, and our server was fast polite, engaging, and knew the menu well. The food was just okay. It's not great and, in my opinion, not worth the price which by the way is NOT CHEAP. We are from South Padre Island and come up to the Lee's Summit/KC annually this time of year.. Unfortunately, this establishment is a one and done.. Plotted. Scouts Out..

    I had the BEST dining experience at Kona Grill! 🤩 Our server, Xena, was absolutely amazing. She made the end of 2024 feel extra special ✨. Seriously, the service was top-notch, and I felt so well taken care of. Definitely ask for Xena when you go! 💯 #KonaGrill

    Good place to start the night-out with happy hour specials. I had their Shrimp Taco (spicy), their Spicy Tuna Roll, their Potstickers, and sliders. everything felt fresh and enjoyable. Service could have been quicker for a Happy Hour and "tapas-like" food, but would definitely return.
