   Reservation was at 7:30, seated on time but did not receive drinks until an hour later. Our appetizer was delivered after our main course. Food was poorly plated but tasted ok. Cost did not match the value in my opinion. Server was very nice and did her best.

   Christmas Eve was not a good night to go here. I get it, it's a crazy night for restaurants. We had a 7:30 reservation and still had to wait 45 minutes to be sat. The kitchen was backed up, the hostesses were never at the host stand. We never once saw a manager. The restaurant was filthy and the food was just ok. Usually Kona is good but I would not recommend going for Christmas Eve.

   Having a limited menu without notice was very disappointing. We chose Kona because of a gluten and dairy allergy and for sushi. Only having 6 rolls on the menu, all of which either were not gluten free or had dairy. Terribly disappointing.

   Tuna tartare and sushi were great! Appetizers and drinks came out quickly. We ordered our meal and waited 40 minutes for our food only to find out that my prime rib was dry. Lady at our table ordered lobster Mac and cheese because it was on the menu and our server told us there was no lobster today as he was delivering our food. The old fashioned has cubes of ice. If I pay $15 for an old fashioned it should come with a large cube of ice or a sphere. The dining experience did not match the ambience.

   Food is good but waaayy too expensive. $24 for a rainbow roll? That’s almost double other places in Omaha. They were also out of 5 of the 6 wines we ordered.

   I met up with friends for a late lunch and the restaurant was nice and quiet. The food was delicious. We were so comfortable that we stayed over 2 hours.

   I don’t usually post or complain, but I’m taken back by the way the waitress treated our table. First off, she asked us if we were on one check and we said no. She said or great! We told her who was on what check. Then when asking about things on the menu, she was really rude and sarcastic! I’m thinking what the heck?!? When were done, she asked for some plates we were handing her some and she said not that many!!! I saw a manager come by and I asked if they had coat hooks to hang our coats and he said no. I suggested that some other restaurants have coat hooks on the side of the booth wall and acted so annoyed with me and walked away, instead of saying oh that’s a good idea or something? Such a bizarre experience. Three mom’s with their daughter’s having a fun dinner and wasn’t so fun!😞

    Juan was fantastic, and so was the food! We really enjoyed the special Thanksgiving meal and the attention we received from our server.
