    Very expensive but large portions easy to share. Excellent service from Sean who was attentive, knowledgeable, pleasant and paced the meal exactly as we wanted. Lobster cakes delicious. NY strips needed to be returned to get them med rare but this was done quickly and a couple of staff checked back to make sure they we were happy. No holiday decor in sight but elegant restaurant and our booth was quiet and easy to converse. Still our favorite downtown steakhouse!

    Christmas Eve must not be the best time to visit Kona Grill. Long time for service, potatoes were undercooked, ordered steak frites and wasn’t informed that they were out of béarnaise sauce until after food was served and we realized something was missing. So, $$ for a so so steak and meal.

    Having a number of excellent gluten-free options, I love coming here to meet with friends. The wait staff is friendly and professional, always allowing us to catch up before we order, and never pressuring us to finish up and leave. Dinner was delicious and generous portions. As the celiac of the group, I had the exquisite Caprese Dinner Salad with buffalo mozzarella, pesto, and added grilled chicken - ate every single bite! My friends both ordered the walleye sandwich with fries and a side salad, and they both cleaned their plates as well. No room for dessert!
