Says Kona Grill Executive, Rachel Phillips-Luther, "Kona Grill's 'Get the Skinny' mindset is less about weight and more about being in the know. The transparency of our process and the nutritional understanding on the part of our guest is important to us. Getting bodies in shape for the swimsuit and patio season is nice, but being able to offer a 300 calorie meal is, well, the most flattering figure of all."

Says Kona Grill Executive Chef Takeshi Trinitapoli, "I've created a highly flavorful menu using premium ingredients and simple preparation methods. Regardless of which cocktail and entree combination you choose, it will be a great meal that you can feel good about afterwards."

Kona Grill plans to stay ahead of the curve by disclosing all nutritional information on core menu items this Summer.
