Sherry , our waitress was fantastic! Best service I’ve had in a few years, at any restaurant. I hadn’t eaten here in a long time, simply because Italian food is one of my least favorites, but we were out with friends, but they do a great job, and have a selection between fish, chicken, and different types of pasta with sauce. Love that they maintain the history, large mural, and ambience, of the prior owner, Bruno The garlic bread, appetizer with marinara sauce is fantastic and a great value. Wine list is broad and fairly priced .

Friday night, I was fortunate to get to attend the soft opening of Kobe Club Steakhouse. I worked in fine dining throughout college, so my expectations were high while understanding a soft opening might have some kinks to work through. I had a marvelous experience & meal. The owner Will greeted my mother & me at the door. Our booth was lined with velvet, making the seats very comfortable. My mom & I have horrible backs due to a car accident I was in & her needing a hip replacement, so comfy seats that don’t add our pain can make a huge difference in our enjoyment. Our server Maddy was very sweet & attentive. My mom & I had Bloody Mary’s & they were fantastic. I would come back just for the Bloody Mary. We started our meal with their bread & their marvelous flavored butter. Then our first course was shrimp cocktail. I’m a major seafood lover & have had shrimp cocktail at countless places, but I’ve never had it like this. It usually always has cocktail sauce, but I didn’t miss the sauce at all because the shrimp was marinated & had the tomatoes & onions with it. Our second course was a salad with tomatoes, pepperonci, Kalamata olives, & a curried avocado dressing. The dressing was addicting & the flavors went together wonderfully. The stars of the show were the entrees. My mom had the filet & I had the bone in ribeye. We also split a Flounder Opelousas. We loved the flounder so much we scarfed it down forgetting to take pictures of it. I cannot recommend this dish enough. The fish is tender & mild & the sauce with the seafood on top is DELICIOUS! The steaks are remarkably seasoned & cooked perfectly. The staff was attentive & welcoming. The owner Will came to the table multiple times to check on us & ask for feedback. The place officially opens in 2 weeks & I hope everyone here checks them out & supports them. Will is very passionate about using local ingredients & for the food to be fresh but elevated while infusing flavors from Corpus Christi TX.

We love Kai! It’s one of our go to places! The entire team at Kai is friendly, kind, accommodating and fun. The food is always 5-star and the atmosphere is great.
