Fall is officially here—and so is the cozy new pumpkin-inspired menu at Kona Grill in Clay Terrace, Carmel. We recently visited to try their limited-time Fall for Our New Pumpkin Menu, and it was an unforgettable culinary experience filled with warmth, creativity, and the comforting flavors of the season.
From the moment we stepped into Kona Grill Carmel, we were welcomed by the inviting atmosphere and the smell of freshly prepared fall dishes. The restaurant’s stylish interior and beautiful indoor patio made it the perfect spot to enjoy a crisp autumn evening.
Starting September 2, Kona Grill introduced a special fall menu that celebrates the season with a pumpkin twist in every dish. Here’s what you can find on this exclusive menu:
Pumpkin Spice Margarita & Pumpkin Mocha Martini – two handcrafted cocktails that perfectly capture the essence of fall.
Pumpkin Bisque with Seared Shrimp – a rich, velvety soup with the perfect balance of spice and sweetness.
Lobster & Mushroom Ravioli – a standout dish and our personal favorite! The combination of lobster, mushrooms, and pumpkin flavors was simply delicious.
Pumpkin Pie with Honeycomb Crumbs – the ultimate seasonal dessert that’s both classic and creative.
Every bite felt like fall in Indiana, offering a perfect blend of comfort and sophistication.
Every dish we tried at Kona Grill Carmel was exceptional, but two stood out as absolute favorites — the Pumpkin Bisque with Seared Shrimp and the Lobster & Mushroom Ravioli. The bisque was incredibly smooth and flavorful, with just the right touch of pumpkin spice and perfectly seared shrimp adding a hint of sweetness and texture. It felt like the essence of autumn in every spoonful. The Lobster & Mushroom Ravioli was equally unforgettable — rich, creamy, and beautifully balanced. The lobster filling was tender, the mushroom sauce added depth, and the pumpkin notes tied everything together in a cozy, comforting way. Both dishes were beautifully plated and full of flavor, making them must-tries for anyone visiting this season.
Located at 14395 Clay Terrace Blvd, Carmel, IN 46032, Kona Grill is a must-visit spot for anyone looking to enjoy fall dining at its best. Whether you’re there for date night, brunch, or happy hour, the restaurant’s atmosphere and menu won’t disappoint.
Fall flavors are in full swing at Kona Grill, and their seasonal cocktails are pure autumn magic. The Pumpkin Spice Margarita mixes Calirosa Rosa Blanco Tequila with real pumpkin purée and pumpkin spice for a cozy twist on a classic. Meanwhile, the Pumpkin Mocha Martini brings together vodka, pumpkin spice rumchata, nitro-infused espresso, crème de cacao, and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice — basically fall in a glass. Whether you’re team margarita or martini, these drinks are the perfect way to sip your way through the season.
