Tidbits: Kona brings back classic dishes … ‘Dinner with Friends’ postponed and more

Kona Grill in Perkins Rowe is bringing back a couple of fan-favorite dishes for a limited time: tuna wasabi and five-spice BBQ baby back ribs. The items were brought back following a series of social media polls on Facebook and Twitter, and were the “hands-down winners” of each query. Kona is also introducing two new entrées—a Korean tuna roll and grilled chicken and pear salad—as well as a new dessert, banana cream pie. … Baton Rouge Center for World Affairs’ “Dinner with Friends” event at the Government Street La Carreta, scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 23, has been postponed until Tuesday, Sept. 13, due to ongoing construction at the restaurant. Mention BRCWA when you sit down to dinner or order to-go, and La Carreta will donate 20% of your meal’s total expense to the group’s ongoing efforts. … Have a special event coming up? Engagement dinner, anniversary party, anything that requires a fancy meal and a private dining room? Book your event through Fleming’s between now and Sept. 15, and receive a $10 bonus per guest towards your meal—giving you an extra $200 to spend on your good time.
