Kona Grill - Tampa Reviews from The Last Year
Stay well away
Absolutely awful. Sent our food back 3 (three) times and it kept coming back cold and wrong. We interacted with the "manager" and might as well have talked to the wall. Awful awful awful
Went with my girlfriend for their $39 steak special.
The special included a 12oz sirloin (they did not have the steak, also they had a select few appetizers to choose from and they didn't have the full selection). No compensation at all, bait and switch is how I see it. Why offer special and not be prepared to serve the customer. Ridiculous, for this I won't return.

Maddy our server was fantastic!! Fast service, very knowledgeable and made recommendations for each of us. Maddy got us in and out in less than an hour too! Great work Maddy!!!
Will come again just to be served by lily
Me and my girlfriend came into Kona grill and was served excellent by lily she came and checked on us frequently gave us recommendations on what good food we should try overall experience I had a great time dining in
We came in at 4:45pm on a Saturday.
Took about 5 minutes of standing at the host stand to be addressed. Finally seated at a table, and waited 10 minutes without any contact from a server. No waters, no nothing. We ended up getting up and leaving, and there were multiple servers and employees standing around chit chatting inside. Super frustrating, will never be back.

The food was amazing all four of us had empty plates by the end. I had the shrimp tacos and they were very fresh and worth the price! Our server Lili was very helpful and gave great recommendations when we were trying to decide. Very great ambiance and music choices!!!
Great staff, good food and dog friendly
Michael, our server was amazing! He was on top of things from the start and made awesome recommendations also! They’re also dog friendly which is a huge plus.
the customer service was ok wish they would be more
the customer service was ok wish they would be more efficient on checking on table and the lady that was serving out table was just so very rube and rushed my whole table the whole night after ne complained
Best food in Tampa
Great food I always come here and I have not been upset at all. Easily the best place to come and dine in with the family or loved ones
Fantastic dinner with co-workers
Booked this restaurant for a work dinner and needed to accommodate 20 people. The staff was very helpful when making the reservation, made sure our tables would be together. We were promptly sat when we arrived and had a great table outside along the water. They had multiple staff waiting on us and everyone was great! The food was delicious! The group had a variety of dishes from seafood to pasta to different proteins. Nobody in the group was disappointed with their meal or drinks! I would most definitely eat here again when in the area. Thanks Kona for a great experience!
The place was nice and was clean.
The food was ok. Sole of our items were cold by the time we received them and some things were not as described. Our server was nice but she was everywhere and seemed to leave in the middle of asking a question. Over all it was ahhh , maybe I would return when they are less busy .
Got the salmon which was super fishy I got the steakhouse
Got the salmon which was super fishy I got the steakhouse burger medium The burger was well over done and it seemed like it had craft single cheese. I couldn't believe the quality we got for how expensive this place was. I was holding out hope the entire time it would be good. I'm sorry guys but you gotta tighten up the screws. Jim kuhn, come to your restaurant as a "guest" and you'll see what crap you're putting out.
Stay clear of Iona Grill in Tampa.
Myself, my wife and another couple went to the Kona Grill for food and drinks after the Sting/Billy Joel concert. The place was less than half full when we walked in. I ordered the sweet potato fries for 9 U.S. Dollars. They came in a small bowl and there were exactly 14 fries in it. With the Canadian exchange rate and tax it amounted to approx. 90 cents per fry. The lady in the other couple ordered regular fries. She got about the same amount as I did and they were only like warm. My wife has Celiac disease. She made that clear to the server. She ordered the hamburger platter. Her burgers came wrapped in lettuce. However, her fries were not gluten free. The server said that the kitchen made a mistake. My wife would have become seriously ill had she eaten even one of those fries. She spoke with a manager who apologized and offered to substitute broccoli for the fries. The broccoli arrived approx. 15 min. after my wife had finished her meal. The manager discounted our bill $10 for the mistake. The other male in our group ordered a steak. It came with only a few fries and nothing else. He was not impressed. I must say that the server and the manager were nice to deal with. That does not make up for the horrible dining experience that we had though. On a 1 out of 10 rating I would rate this experience a 1. Absolutely terrib!e.
We made a reservation weeks ago to ensure we could have a
We made a reservation weeks ago to ensure we could have a decent meal before a concert. When we arrived, it was a chaotic scene. It took 20 minutes in line to get checked in, and although we had a confirmed reservation for 5pm, the host said it would be 45 minutes wait for our table. Patrons were everywhere waiting, some with 4 and 4:30 reservations. The host verified my mobile number and let me know they would text me as soon as a table (indoor or outdoor) became available. My fellow guests had already gone to the outdoor patio side of the bar and had been waiting at least 20 minutes trying to order drinks while we waited for our table. We finally were able to get one round of drinks, having waited more than 30 minutes. We were able to get two seats at the bar and waited another 20+ minutes with empty glasses trying to order a second round. We finally decided to leave (thank goodness we had paid our tab on the fist round already) and went a short distance up the street where we received immediate drink service and were able to order a quick appetizer ahead of our concert. Never received a text about our table being ready even though the restaurant was open during and after the show. The management team was totally unprepared even with notice of the concert featuring two legends well in advance. The experience was a disaster, which is a shame given that the demographic for this event, including our group, would have yielded them hefty tabs and good recommendations.
always great service and timely delivery of food.
Meatball appetizers were very tasty. Jaime was a great server!
No words.
Came here for the holidays and our wait time was over an hour and a half past our reservation time. If that's the case why even have a reservation? We told them we were with a special needs child that had a really hard time waiting. They told us something about the outside area not being used because it could possibly rain. Okay welcome to Florida that's the case every day of the week. Once we finally sat we had a server that was kind but just not good. Our food came out and we had no utensils for 15 minutes even after I asked two other servers for silverware. I do feel like at the end of the experience the manager really tried to save our experience - she compd our dessert and was honest about a glitch in their reservation system that evening. I would go back but not during the holiday season.
First.
..the service. The hostess tried to seat us outside despite it being cold and raining....after walking us right past a table that would seat our party indoors. We get our table and our waiter was terrible. Forgot drinks that we ordered...forgot sides that we ordered...was a smart-ass when we asked where our dinner was an hour after we ordered. Second...the food. A few of our party really enjoyed their meals...I wasn't one of them. I ordered a $44 ribeye, medium. It was raw and cool in the middle despite coming out 10 minutes after everyone else had gotten their food (minus the missing sides). I wasn't going to send it back after waiting almost 90 minutes, so I ate it underdone. The steak itself was tough and not worth 1/2 the price. The Yukon fingerlings were good. Disappointed is an understatement.
The WORST Customer Service on EARTH!!! My wife and I had
The WORST Customer Service on EARTH!!! My wife and I had been clients for over 3 years and always enjoy the food and the good vibe, however, our last 2 reservations have been nothing but a POOR customer service. On December 31 2023 I made reservations and when we arrived, We were told that it was water apill in the kitchen and for that reason they are NOT accepting more clients. The same excuse they used on St Valentines dinner. I believe, managers don't know how to handle employees attendance and they are always short in servers and cooks. Two special occassions canceled by the manager using the same exact excuse!! NEVER AGAIN!!!
I've been here a few occasions when working in the area and
I've been here a few occasions when working in the area and dining with coworkers because the menu is varied enough to offer us all options for vegan, vegetarian, and other dietary restrictions to the hearty carnivores and omnivores among us. And the payment system always enables multi party payments and receipts which make expense reports easier. The happy hour is well priced and popular (especially when the weather is nice for the outside bar patio). They do get super busy on holidays (Mother's Day, valentines) so make reservations. That being said, it does sometimes take a moment to get service, refills etc, but the food has always been tasty and the servers all nice.
Disappointed with the food
We came here for dinner at the recommendation of a Tampa local. Three of us ordered steaks Nd the other person ordered sushi rolls. The steaks were not prepared as ordered and were tough.
Came here for dinner while in town for business.
Service was very good and a very nice ambiance. We got the dinner for 2. Calamari was decent with a good sauce. Kona steak was missing flavor. The potatoes were very good. Cheesecake not impressive. Prices ok.
Dang my first time here & I am still leaving 5 stars
Dang my first time here & I am still leaving 5 stars because my bartender brett was everything during Friday happy hour! No frozen margaritas because the machine was broken & no paper napkins because the company did not deliver yet but guess what...if alot if businesses had good ass knowledgeable bartenders like brett those little things would never matter! Thank you!
Sunset sushi roll was amazing, and so was the hot sake.
and the Penne the lovely lady next to me had was like being in Paris she said. and a shout out to server Jaime for his recommendations and excellent customer service!
Kona Superb!
Wonderful food, amazing ambiance and superb service! The salmon was outstanding. Our server was one of the best and most polite ever. A must dine location in Tampa.
Very expensive
It's very expensive. Miso soup for $ 13 dolar was to much. Salmon $ 35. I used to go there a lot, but now I can go other places for better price and better food.
Menu descriptions not accurate, nor are the prices, beware
This was my second time here, we remembered eating here a few years ago (before the pandemic), probably around 2018. We enjoyed our meal then so we returned in December 2023 for lunch. This place has seriously degraded since our first trip. Menu prices were shockingly high. $27.00 for their "steakburger." The menu described it as a two patty burger with some fancy toppings, so I decided to order it. I figured for the price they were asking, it must be good. When it food was delivered, it was only a single, small patty, and maybe 20-25 fries. The burger looked like something I would have gotten at Denny's for $10.00. I brought it to the waitress' attention that it was missing a patty. I was told corporate made the change to a single patty and the menu had not been updated yet. Totally unacceptable business practice, especially for what they were charging. I sent it back. When I got the check, the charge for the beer I ordered was a dollar more than the price listed on the menu. Service wasn't great either. Most serves check with you 5-10 minutes after the food is delivered to make sure everything is alright. This one didn't, I had to wave at her to get attention from across the room. Bottom line, expect sky high prices for mediocre food with subpar service. There are a lot of better choices in this area, I recommend somewhere else.
Nut allergy worst nightmare
Food was good but do Not go if you or someone you know has any kind of nut allergy. Almost every food had nuts or was cross contaminated with nuts.
Best dinner of the year!
An excellent meal complimented by exceptional service from Carla!! The food was bursting with great flavors, served hot and generously sized portions. Truly a delightful dining experience!!
Had high hopes but was disappointed
I get that food costs along with other operating costs are higher than before the pandemic, but customers should should still expect value, and management supervised recovery when things don’t go as planned.
University Hawaii graduate.
If you're looking for a good hawaiian dining experience, don't bother going to call in a grill. The atmosphere is horrible. It is so loud you can't sit inside. And when you do sit outside, you can't talk to the person next to you at the outside table. Because the music is so loud.
Won't Hurry Back
Slow service as kitchen was the problem. Shrimp fried rice was EH, shrimp were tiny, few and far between while the taste was sweet! Not a fan! Fried chicken sandwich was way too crispy and the sauce was not what one would expect on a chicken sandwich. Prices were high for what you got!

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
