Place was always busy. Not the best food, but atmosphere was nice and offered a good happy hour.

They got rid of their happy hour and tried to go upper upscale
Our bartender there last time we visited pretty much said this was gonna happen

Thought that place would have closed long before now.

I think when you price it as high as it appears to be, sometimes, putting up a mid tier chain just won't cut it. Applebees, kona grill, lava cantina. I wouldn't doubt if somebody would put an olive garden in there, and it fails.
I think it's too high priced for a good restaurant that is non-chain. So all the franchise money can open one, but no one wants to eat at chili's v. 2.0. So eventually, it fails.
Maybe, come down on the rent, and allow something good and local to come there. But that won't happen.

I went there twice and never got good service and the time between order and food was really bad. The food that came out was solid but not so great that I ever wanted to deal with the rest of the nonsense.

Their macadamia nut chicken dish was good. I wasn’t a big fan of their sushi. They had an underrated burger too.

Me and friends were just talking last week about how this place had zero chance of lasting another year.

Their sushi was average at best but very expensive.
It was only decently priced during happy hour

The meatloaf was good. Haven't been back since it was removed from the menu.
The physical building is super nice. One of the nicest places in town.
A Chinese super buffet needs to open in its place. Or something equally original, like a sports bar.. called Walk-In's.

Terrible sushi!
Their staff, last time I went in, was not up to par.

Best carrot cake ever.
Other than that, it sucked. Smelled like a sewer in there last time I went.

At one time, Kona happy hour was solid. All day Sunday, 3 dollar margaritas, food was 50% or more offer, etc. I remember two people getting out for under $35.00 with 4 drinks.
However, prices crept up, clientele and food got worse, staff got atrocious, and the place started feeling dirty. Oh, and the Baton Rouge restaurant scene improved dramatically.
Kona is a creature of the past.

The BR restaurant scene wasn’t that bad 7-8 years ago.

I used to drink way too much at Kona happy hour back in the day. I remember liking the avocado egg rolls, but mostly the place was the definition of mediocre.
It wasn’t that good either.
