Only 4 stars this time (always 5 stars in past) because the ribs appetizer (usually perfect) was a little dry and the kale ceasar had too much dressing (will order dressing on side next time). The grouper as usual was perfect.

We’ve been dining at KC AMERICAN since it opened. The food has consistently been fabulous! Each time we go we are delighted. I usually can’t resist the yummy salmon entree. Tonight I tried the tuna and it was wonderful. The decor is very pretty and the service is always excellent. Fine dining at it’s best!

This was our second time eating here and we brought some friends who had never been there before. We all enjoyed our meals, our starters, the delicious bread and butter. The service was wonderful and although there were a lot of people there, we had a booth near the window and were able to have a nice conversation. We will definitely be back!

We brought our GRANDS to KC's and had a delightful family dining experience. The adventurous child had swordfish for the first time and enjoyed every morsel. Our quiet child enjoyed her always choice of salmon ..."plain, please"....and she devoured it. Ice cream sundaes with tons of whipped cream and the chocolate ganache topped cake were enormous hits. The adults savored the sea bass w wasabi mashed potato special, the perfectly prepared and presented duck and the jumbo shrimp with thai seasonings.... Deliciously fun evening.
