Our Favorite Review: “Outstanding food and service!
We had a late lunch / early dinner on Friday to celebrate a milestone and this was an excellent dining experience. We were seated right away and our server was at our table within a couple of minutes – excellent service throughout.
Every aspect of the meal was excellent – from the shrimp cocktail all the way to the brownie with ice cream. Our salads had big chunks of bacon on them and the dressings were excellent. My steak was cooked perfectly and my wife’s fish dish was tasty as well.”

Our Favorite Review: “We’re visiting from out of town and we’ve been to a few restaurants while here. This place has by far been the best. Our food was simply perfect. Our service was beyond perfect. We had Garrett taking care of us. The service he provided may have been the best service I’ve received anywhere in the country. We left feeling like family. You can’t get that just anywhere. Management was attentive and the kitchen staff checked on us as well. I’m really blown away by the entire experience. I’ll be back, even if I have to travel back here just to experience it again.

Our server was well versed and knew the menu thoroughly. They had an indoor and outdoor area to eat as well. The drink I had was lovely poet and was spot on!

Our Favorite Review: “We have visited Kona Grill in the Avalon a few times. They have some great cocktails and delicious food! They can be a little pricey but the portion sizes are decent and the quality of food is awesome. We usually sit outside since it’s in a great space with lots to see around it. They have heaters outside as well so you can stay warm on a cooler day. Service is usually pretty good and there is a good selection on the menu for just about everyone. Definitely enjoy eating there and recommend!!
