It was Thanksgiving, we ate outsider, it was quiet and outdoors was beautiful. The food was fabulous and our server Jason made our experience a 10+. This was probably one of the best experiences I’ve encountered at Kona Grill and it was a holiday Thank you :)

Wife & I just dined at the Keg in Desert Ridge for a Thanksgiving meal and thoroughly enjoyed our meal and service. Open table reservations were available in the bar section only for Thanksgiving which we gladly accepted. Wife had the holiday turkey meal and I had the Prime Rib. Both were done perfectly, even the prime rib. Compliments to the chef. We can't speak more highly of our server Kyle who was on top of everything we needed to savor and consume the delicious meals. His attentiveness and personal interest in assuring we had a nice food experience at the Keg was clearly noticed. Our first time here; we will definitely return. Thank you and Happy Holidays to all!

WE had the best experience at Dominick's for a team business dinner. I had requested a quiet area and they were able to make this work for us, which I extremely appreciated. Nick, our waiter for the evening was INCREDIBLE! His recommendations were fantastic and accurate. Love how they are a good team and they work together to give out an excellent customer service. Definitely will be returning in the future. Thank you for the amazing service and experience.

This is my "go to" for special occasions and when people come to town. The scallop risotto is excellent, and the peanut butter cake is heavenly!
