During these trying times, we are trying to adjust our service so that customers feel safe but still have a great Ki's experience. Daytime service is as it always has been: order at the counter and the food will be brought to you in the seating area we have created outside under the tents. Night-time is full service. Sunday through Thursday is upstairs. The tables are spaced far apart and there is an option of being out on the front deck for parties of two. On Friday and Saturday, we will be offering full service in both seating areas of upstairs and under the tents outside. Ki's is a perfect fit for its local beach community culture. We provide food options that serve the needs of people who enjoy the outdoors and have a high degree of awareness for their health, fitness and well being. And Ki's is more than just a 'health food' option for many. It is simply great food for anyone-professionals, families looking for a home-cooked meal or friends hanging out enjoying some tasty eats.

    I absolutely adore the Waverly. It has become my go to place to go for lunches or dinners with friends. Today I celebrated my birthday there and we all had a blast. Our server, Jenna, was amazing as was the rest of the staff. And we all loved our food.

    This was our first visit. As others said, the architecture is fantastic—like nothing around here! The mountain lodge and hops decorating is a bit odd, yet attractive. The menu changes seasonally. The fresh catch was line caught SD Halibut. We shared bread and (two types) butter (also two blends), Washington Oysters, and red beet hummus. All interesting and tasty. I had a “Pilsner” which was tasty, though (as I was warned) much hoppier than typical. My wife ordered a Napa cab blend; a bit delicate but nice. My entree was an absolutely delicious seared lamb loin. Perfect portion. My wife raved about the beef short rib. Only disappointment was my Espresso…chilled by a cold cup and not that great. We will be back!

    A very nice Christmas Eve dinner. I had the veal Marsala which was delicious. Our server was great. You can expect it to be noisy on a busy night.
