We decided to have a late lunch at Kona Cafe before heading to MK for
MVMCP. I was really disappointed with Kona Cafe. One reason was my own fault the other was not. My fault was thinking they started serving sushi during lunch. I thought I read some where on the boards that Kona had started to serve sushi at lunch & not just dinner. So I was very excited to have their volcano roll that I had eaten years before. Unfortunately, I was wrong and therefore disappointed. But as I said that's totally on me. The other fault for the disappointment was the service. While checking in we witnessed the person checking us in being very disrepectful to an elderly lady who was another cm. There was no call for it. It seemed as if he thought she was too slow. And yes she was slow moving, but really, there was no one else checking at the time & we weren't in a hurry. Our actual server was a middle age man. He was not friendly, tended to disppear (there were not many people at the time in the restaurant), & the only time he seemed to care if we were ok was when he forgot to tell the chef I requested no mushrooms. He saw me picking them out of my dish & freaked because he thought I was allergic to them. I'm not, thankfully, I just don't like mushrooms. Also, he tried to steer my DD into having the kid's lemonade instead of the special lemonade she wanted. And it wasn't because of the taste. It was weird. Also, for those that don't know (I didn't), they do not give you bread at lunch. You can't even ask for it, unlike LTT, where you can get bread if requested. Our server told us some nonsense about no bread being offered because they have sandwiches on the lunch menu.
My DD & I both ordered the special lemonade. I forgot what it was called, but it had (I think) a passion fruit foam type thing on the top. It was very good. We both really liked it, so refreshing.
My DD went with just an app. She ordered Fried Shrimp - with passion fruit-mustard sauce with a side of french fries. She liked the shrimp & fries but didn't like the sauce.
My DH ordered a Grilled Angus Chuck Bacon Cheeseburger, minus the cheese, with fries. He said it was okay.
I ordered the Pan-Asian Noodles with Shrimp - Yakisoba Noodles, Wok-seared with Vegetables in a Ginger-Garlic Sauce, minus the mushrooms, which the server forgot to tell the chef. I was disappointed with this dish. It's not that it was bad, it wasn't. It was just really bland. It needed something, salt, pepper, soy sauce, I don't know but something.
The overall feeling was disappointment. I think the fact that they still had that curtain up inside with all the construction everywhere didn't help. Maybe we'll try another time, not sure though.
