Just returned from a memorable dining experience. We live in Ahwatukee and have been trying to occasionally make it there for the past few years. But never seemed to be able to get a reservation within a few days of the desired reservation. Now, I understand why. Now, i am upset that i did not try harder to dine at Kai! Definitely a fabulous dining experience. My last similar experience was when Mary Elaine's still existed at the Phoenician.
The Duck plate was stupendous. The escargot was bursting with flavors. The squash puree was unbelievable. And I could continue on... If you are not a so called foodie, you will think this place is priced too high and or not enjoy the nuances of each course and plate.
The service was fantastic down to the thank you card waiting for us in our car! I had given up many years ago with finding this type of food and service in the valley.
Our hats off to the chef and the staff. We will be back!!!
