For a nice sit down restaurant where you can go in wearing jeans or an evening dress, this is the place. Its not a typical Greek restaurant, nor is it a expensive steakhouse. There is something on the menu for everyone. Excellent appatizers, soups, salads, entrees, seafood and even rack of lamb ! I have never had a bad meal or experience here ! And again, there prices are relatively cheap for the high quality food and service you get here. It's also nice sitting in the back room with huge windows all around that look out to the goats and donkey. When I want a comfort place, with comfort food- I'll be at Kis. It seems like you forget if you had a bad day. I love this place! The owner is also adorable and very friendly.

The owner and staff are very friendly. The restaurant is decorated for the holiday. We tried the baked French onion soup, and it was good. We also tried the filet trio with mash and asparagus, the patty melt, and the Beef Wellington. Everything was cooked just right and tasted great. We will definitely visit again.

Food was good specially the Calamari and Shrimp De Jong. The lobster was SUPER SUPER expensive. The menu stated saying it was “Market Rate” but when the bill came out, the dish turned out to be $90+. The customer should be made aware if the price is this high.

I was excited trying out this relic. Unfortunately they dropped the ball on cooking my steak to order. Ordered medium rare, got medium well, tasted nasty! We were pressed for time and we didn't have time to wait for them to try again. Nothing taken off bill? We enjoyed dining al fresco though. Would have been nice for the server to keep drinks topped instead of having to ask every single time.

This is a nice family-owned steakhouse that has been here for years. We came for lunch out on the patio with a group of cyclists, and taxed their services with 35 people all at once. Service was reasonable and the food was tasty. Will have to come back as just a couple.

I was a nice place I've riden by the place for over 15 years and never tried it the lamb and French onion soup was top tier my stake was cooked to perfection but it had no flavor and my loaded baked potatoe was so burnt that taste is disgusting but our waiter was so nice I couldn't even tell her I wasn't happy with my food I just packed it up and took it home and got rid of it

Impressed with the way they decorated for Christmas. Food was pretty good but over priced, in my opinion.

We have been to Ki's several times. Last visit was a week ago. Food is always very good. Our server left much to be desired. A very petite woman with bright red lipstick. When we sat down I asked for a glass of wine. She said she would get to it when she had a chance. Not our first experience with her. Never again. People like her give a nice place like Ki's a bad grade.
