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.

    It was odd that we made reservations as it is the type of restaurant that you order at the cashier, they give you a number, and you find your own table. The staff was friendly and helpful but did not overextend when we asked about a to go box or silverware. We were told they are over there. We were fortunate to find a window seat where it has a great view and was quieter since I met a friend to chat.

    Beautiful view, wonderful service and great happy hour selection; however, 2 large parties sat on either side of our table that were very loud. Also unexpected was an overpriced specialty coffee that wasn’t worth it. Ki’s used to serve a delicious Mexican coffee in a sugared rim glass many years ago and we were looking for that same experience.

    The mahi mahi was outstanding. They were understaffed, but the waitress was very efficient and very pleasant.

    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.
