    Default Kona Bar/Grill

    I went to this restaurant/bar last night for the first time with some friends. They insisted I go because of this alleged huge tank. I was wondering if anyone has been to this place to see the ginormous (2,000+ gallon) FOWLR tank. If you haven't yet you really need to at least pop your head in and just check it out. They have an awesome set up and a really cool (and very large) spiny boxfish in there. The glass (acrylic) on this thing is at least 3". Its at La Cantera if anyone was interested. I'll have to take a pic ics the next time I go to post there.

    Yeah, that's a cool tank. I ate at the sushi bar with my wife last week. The fish are fun to watch.

    hah, I LOVE this place, its KONA btw, as in Kona hawaii. oh, and I am pretty sure it's a diadon puffer, not a box fish.

    I must reccomend the swordfish, which is spectacular, but if you are a steak lover, their steaks are on par w/ all the best places in town. Sea Bass is good, and their dirty martini's are fantastic.

    Oh, and you have to try the onion rings... they are frickin HUGE!

    I think the most hillarious thing is watching the puffer follow the sushi chefs around.
