The experience from valet to being greeted and seated as well as the departure was a wonderful experience. Everyone had friendly welcoming smiles and were excited to have us. Every associate used our last names and made us feel like VIP guests. Jeremy was our server, and to say he was knowledgeable is an understatement. He was gracious and genuine and made the experience for our anniversary that much more memorable. Kudos to the staff as well as the culinary team who created such a unique and delicious menu.

A magical experience! Especially enjoyed the mushroom first course, venison and honey cake dessert. Service was impeccable.

Just Wow. I was skeptical of a hotel chain fine dining but boy was I wrong. This is the epitome of fine dining. You pay for it but definitely worth the splurge. The service is impeccable, knowledgeable and effortlessly works the room as a team. They answer questions about the artwork on the menu, they offer history lessons when asked and they describe each dish almost poetically. Not once does the waitstaff not know or say they will go ask. The food is sensational. Each course artfully plated with chilled or heated utensils depending on the type of dish. A smallish menu so a couple will get to try most things if they divide and conquer. I will say there was only one miss....the lobster and strawberries did not work. Being from Maine I was rightfully skeptical and the lobster meat was tough chewy tail meat and the flavors clashed for me. Everything else though was amazing. Paced beautifully and portioned appropriately. Have not had as good a dining experience as this in quite some time

I travel the world regularly, have been to many Michelin Star restsurants and Kai is consistently the best dining experience of all!

Food lived up to the price point which is not easy. Buffalo was exceptional. Key lime lye was twisted and excellent. Elite service as well.

What an amazing dinning experience! I have never had such a meal where staff took such care in crafting and presenting a meal. You can tell they have a lot of passion for what they do. Highly recommend this dinning experience.

An Unforgettable Culinary Journey

The seven-course tasting menu with wine pairing was nothing short of extraordinary, offering a thoughtful, beautifully curated exploration of flavor, history, and culture.

Each dish told a story, rooted in Native American traditions and ingredients, yet elevated with modern techniques that honored the past while embracing the present. Chef Anderson clearly took great care in every detail, and the accompanying wines were expertly selected to enhance and complement each course.

What truly set the evening apart, though, was the heart behind it all. The team didn’t just serve food, they shared knowledge, passion, and a genuine warmth that made the entire experience feel personal and profound. You could tell they deeply believed in what they were doing, and their pride and joy were infectious. Every interaction felt sincere and generous, making the service feel less like fine dining formality and more like being welcomed into a beloved tradition.

This wasn’t just a meal, it was a cultural immersion and a celebration of community, connection, and craft. Thank you to everyone at Kai for a truly unforgettable experience.

This ia always a dining experience. The seasonal menu changes are always a delight. The staff is seamless five star service. If its a table of 2 or 5 nothing is overlooked. Jeremy is a true reflection of what the 5 star ⭐️ quality of team is.

Michelin quality in every regard, and believe me I’ve eaten at lot of them. The setting, staff, and food were absolutely phenomenal. We so appreciated being able to experience Native American cuisine and flavors at such an elevated level. If you are within 50 miles of this restaurant at any time, you must experience it.

Taylor and Asia took amazing care of us. Everything was phenomenal but my favorites were the pee posh, venison, bison, and the honey dessert. They made our birthday celebration very special. I highly recommend trying this once in a lifetime experience!

This was, without question, the most extraordinary dining experience we have ever encountered. The cuisine was nothing short of divine, the service and hospitality unparalleled, and the meticulous attention to detail from beginning to end transcended every expectation. What made the evening even more remarkable was the seamless integration of locally sourced ingredients with the artistry of Native American creators, weaving cultural richness into every course and transforming the meal into a truly immersive experience.

From the very first bite of the amuse-bouche to shamelessly licking every last trace of the white sage and honey crème from my dessert plate, each dish was an impeccable masterpiece. The harmony of flavors was astonishing; just when we believed we had tasted the evening’s highlight, the next plate arrived and surpassed it! Each course was not merely food, but an unfolding journey, leaving us in awe at every turn. Words alone cannot capture the magic of this experience and it is something one must encounter firsthand!

Our sincerest thanks to Jeremy, Taylor, Asia, and Alexis for making this easily one of the most memorable evenings of our lives! We eagerly look forward to returning soon and sharing the beauty and joy of dining at Kai with our friends and family.

(Side note: I was enjoying myself too much to take any proper photos! Guess I’ll have to return soon to get some pics to add!)

Taylor and Asia were the best! We brought our son and his wife here to celebrate their birthdays. What an experience! From watching the sunset to the descriptions of the watercolor paintings on the menus, the foods and the cocktails were a work of art. Well worth the investment.
