This was our second time at Kai and both times it was a wonderful experience! The food is unique, interesting, and beautifully presented, but delicious more than anything. However, without a doubt, what sets Kai apart from other fine dining restaurants I’ve been to is the service. Just the friendliest, most delightful people that took our night from good to great! We’ll definitely be back!

First time that my wife and I visited Chop Chandler. The restaurant is an area that we frequently visit, having dined at Sea & Smoke and had drinks at the Living Room. Excellent. We will be back.

Took the wife for her birthday, and this place blew our expectations out the water. Start off the waiting staff was the best I’ve seen. Knowledgeable about the menu and helpful on the recommendations for food and drinks. Constantly checking in to make sure everything was meeting our satisfaction. The kitchen did they thing in there because our food was amazing. We will definitely be back. Thank Bourbon & Bones for a great night.

The prices weren’t worth the quality of the food. I’ve had better for less. But the service and venue make up for it.
