If you are looking for a dining experience with delicious food and fabulous service than head to Kai. We enjoyed the tasting menu and everything was superb. The staff was so attentive from the moment we drove up to the valet. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience. The lobster bisque is a can’t miss and the filet with crab and caviar is exquisite. Staff was very kind and throughout the whole experience there was just the right level of service. Thanks again for a great night!

We went to dinner for my wife's 53rd birthday as well as celebrating my step daughter's 21st birthday (the day before). There were 5 of us and we were all treated SO amazing! Our waiter (who I can't remember his name!) gave my wife a perfect large shrimp, oyster and caviar appetizer. It was perfection! He then gave us ideas on the menu and we split the dishes to perfect individual portions (salmon, Mac n cheese, Whipple mashed potatoes and endless bread). For desert, he gave my wife and step daughter a small bowl of ice cream, sugar cookie and whipped cream on the side with a candle each to sing Happy Birthday! And last but not least, he took our birthday picture outside with the amazing view of the hills behind us! It was a fantastic birthday dinner for my favorite girls that we all will not forget!
