Daytime service is as it always has been: order at the counter and the food will be brought to you in the seating area upstairs or out under our tent. Night-time is full service in the upstairs seating area. On Friday nights, we also have live music from 7-9pm.
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.

    Very nice evening using our birthday discount card for my wife’s birthday - pork chops and wine were great. Great time with friends

    Ki’s is always great. Casual, great views, great food. Our favorite lunch spot and dinner with music spot. I just wish that they would put some acoustic tiles in the ceiling to cut down on the noise.

    This was our second visit to Ki’s both of which have been great. Our entrees (cioppino, sea bass) were perfectly prepared, generous portions, and reasonably priced. The ceviche appetizer was fresh and tasty, and the hula pie desert was delicious, though both were on the smaller side. Service was attentive and professional. Drink pours were generous, with good reasonably priced wine options. Ambiance is business casual, with ocean views from most tables. Overall and excellent value and a great choice or sunset dining.

    Tuesday dining ended up with a bonus of having happy hour to closing time! We didn’t stay to closing but had a wonderful dinner with the sunset as sideshow!

    I loved the ahi with wasabi cream. I’m gluten free and Ki’s is stellar for gluten free. I got to have clam chowder! I had a yummy warm apple dessert with blueberries. I also had fun with an espresso martini to start and then a Pinot with dinner. Great Valentine’s Day dinner! Thank you Ki’s!

    We’ve been here many times and the food is always very good as is the service. I have to say it was really loud this time - two very loud groups in either side of us many it really hard to hear each other.
