I always enjoy going to this restaurant and I know what to expect every time but the food is what keeps me coming back especially their lemon olive oil cake , it's superb!

Terrific, healthy food, so many veg and fish options. Stunning views and great service too. Such a great local spot, one of our favs.

Ki's is a favorite of ours and we went this time also to hear the music. It didn't disappoint. Both the food and the music were excellent.

We always enjoy eating upstairs enjoying the fabulous view of the ocean and the lagoon. The food is consistently good and the service was delightful. They offer lots of tasty happy hour options too!

Margaret

Great food, beautiful ocean views and competent service. Prices were reasonable which is rare these days. Overall excellent!

We requested a window table on the porch and ended up with a second row table with partial ocean views in the main room which was quite noisy (hard to hear each other during the meal). Then, my meal which I requested to have without cheese had cheese throughout. However, the manager came and profusely apologized, gave me a slice of chocolate cake to go and when we got the bill, my dish was not charged. We are all human, make mistakes but how we respond is very telling. Although I didn't get exactly what I wanted, my three table mates had fabulous meals and the dessert was phenomenal. We love Ki's and we always come for birthday and other special occasions. I am so grateful that they care, as evidenced by their actions. This place is high quality and full of integrity!

We had a lovely and delicious dinner. The noise level was high because there was live music which was delightful. Will go again. Had a perfect window seat and the view was perfect

Great venue. Saw a server training a tall guy to be a server. The trainee was busy picking at his arm and not paying any attention to the server who was training him. Not a good look. Our server was young woman not well trained as a server. She was more interested talking to people about how she was going to travel in Europe!! Strange!!

Interesting menu with a good selection. Noise levels are incredibly high with 100% hard surfaces throughout the restaurant.

Another lovely evening of Cabernet and shared plates in the lounge listening to beautiful jazz overlooking the sunset, money!

Happy Hour appetizers were generally good, especially the flatbread. But a duo started playing reggae at 5:30, and it was painfully loud. Diners were switching tables to get distance from the band, we were as far away as we could get in a small room, and still it hurt, making conversation quite difficult. The band seemed oblivious to the noise level, we wished we could be. Having loud music so early in such a small space was a bad decision by Ki's. We'll be sure to avoid Friday evenings from now on.

Go for the $11/ taco special available most nights before 8pm! The waitress did not tell us and seemed annoyed when I asked her about it. she reluctantly confirmed the special... Delicious and what a great value for what we got! I will be back!

Perhaps my need is to be sure to not go to Ki's, when it really counts! Ie when I bring important guests! or for an important dinner with my wife. , Ki's needs QC help!

amazing food, amazing view and great vibe from the staff. just a little too noisy, the acoustics are not very balanced. We will be back soon!

This place often is overlooked on "best" lists but it's consistently terrific at every meal time and with a wide variety of choices. We had grandkids with us and they found plenty to like. For the adults, a fish special and short rib were both excellent. Long live Ki's!
