Stunning views of Cardiff Encinitas beach. Eggs Benedict special is tasty. I wish they gave better attention to customers. Charged me for 2 coffees. Gave me regular coffee when I paid for Americano. Didn't serve my mimosa, I have to keep asking. The mimosa has little champagne n little cranberry.dudnt give syrup with pancakes. I shouldn't have to ask. Servers looked confused. It's not them bits their system. But love the 2nd floor views.

Generous portions, laid back atmosphere. Homely - not pretentious. Lots of flavor and fair prices. Great choice!

Food was good as usual. This time, same as the last time we ate there, the service was not good.....no checking back at the table for more water, not clearing the empty dishes from the table between courses, and this time long wait for food to arrive even though there were very few customers in the restaurant. Too bad because the food quality and preparation is good, but the poor service is a real turnoff.

I had high hopes for my birthday dinner at Ki on October 16, but unfortunately, the experience left me feeling humiliated and dismissed. When I arrived, the hostess was warm and accommodating, and she kindly seated me at a beautiful table facing the sunset, a perfect start.
However, things quickly turned unpleasant when another table asked to have the blinds opened, causing the sun to shine directly into our eyes. I politely asked the waitress to lower the blinds slightly, explaining the discomfort and that it was my birthday celebration. She refused, saying “the other customer asked for them open,” as though my comfort didn’t matter. I was told, “the customer is always right,” which left me wondering, am I not a customer too?
After being ignored twice, I had no choice but to lower the blinds myself, which led to confrontation from another table while the waitress disappeared completely. The manager later brought our drinks, but service lagged, our food took nearly 45 minutes to arrive, overcooked and dry. Even though the manager eventually comped the meal, it felt more like an attempt to end a
It wasn’t about the food or the bill, it was about respect, time, and how guests are treated. Despite mentioning twice that it was my birthday, not a single gesture was made to acknowledge it, while another table celebrating received two rounds of recognition. As a local, I had wanted to love this place, but I left feeling embarrassed and undervalued. Beautiful view or not, customer care and empathy should never be optional. Sadly, I won’t be returning.

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!
Been’ there
You have to try to believe it. The atmosphere and the food perhaps become irrelevant because the forces of nature take over. It’s like a vacation on a an island that the island and the vacation both do not end.
Terrific, healthy food, so many veg and fish options. Stunning views and great service too. Such a great local spot, one of our favs.

We are regulars at Ki’s. We always order the oatmeal with all the amazing fruit. On Sunday 9/21 we ordered the same. Something went wrong in the kitchen we did not get the usual bowls any the fruit was all helter skelter placed in a round bowl. Not sure what happened but we will still try again.

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.
