For the sporty and casual set Ki's provides dining with ocean views right across the street from Chart House and Pacific Coast Grill. A juice bar is on the lower level when you walk in. At night in the busier months you can catch some truly great music from local musicians. The atmosphere is casual in this third generation family owned business.

Live music and an open mic in a mall is not what you'd be expecting...however you'd be surprised at how good most of the acts are, how cheap the drinks and how large the portions are. Music every night of the week. Special mention for led timetables Tony Ortegas Sunday evening jazz jam from 6pm to.....? He's great!
