Kona Grill

This outpost of the contemporary Scottsdale-based chain has a menu that's pan-Asian with a European twist and an American foundation. A great sushi bar and a huge aquarium anchor the interior. Dim lighting, blond wood tables and chairs and an open kitchen give the place a cool, contemporary, elegant feel. Standout dishes include sweet-chile-glazed salmon, lemongrass-crusted swordfish, macadamia nut chicken, meat loaf, double-cut pork chop, pesto linguine and pad thai.
