what's your story?  a brief history:
kona bistro first opened for business on september 24, 1997 at 31 west high street in oxford, ohio.  the concept for kona was developed to fill a niche in oxford, ohio for FRESH, GOURMET FOOD from an ECLECTIC MENU in a CASUAL, URBAN, FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT. design, menu, recipes, music, attire, & even the glassware are all part of the original concept created specifically for kona.  

kona is one of a kind experience. 
 
kona bistro opened another great dining opportunity in august 2004 for our guests in the cincinnati area at 3012 madison road in historic oakley square.   we leased the space fro 5 years, and we thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the oakley revitalization; however, due to the economy and our desire to focus on the oxford location, we decided not to renew the lease effective december 31, 2008.  thank you for your years of support and patronage.        

what's up with the name?
the name “kona” comes from the region in hawaii where the kona coffee bean is grown, one of the world’s best coffee beans. “kona” is meant to suggest the coffee, which is flown in monthly from Hawaii, while also suggesting the quality that is associated with the word. “bistro” is a french term for small restaurant.  in the united states, “bistro” has also come to suggest a restaurant that is small, hip, fast-paced, community-based, while focusing on creative a la carte dining.
