During these trying times, we are trying to adjust our service so that customers feel safe but still have a great Ki's experience. Daytime service is as it always has been: order at the counter and the food will be brought to you in the seating area we have created outside under the tents. Night-time is full service. Sunday through Thursday is upstairs. The tables are spaced far apart and there is an option of being out on the front deck for parties of two. On Friday and Saturday, we will be offering full service in both seating areas of upstairs and under the tents outside. Ki's is a perfect fit for its local beach community culture. We provide food options that serve the needs of people who enjoy the outdoors and have a high degree of awareness for their health, fitness and well being. And Ki's is more than just a 'health food' option for many. It is simply great food for anyone-professionals, families looking for a home-cooked meal or friends hanging out enjoying some tasty eats.

Visiting Rancho Valencia is a treat in itself. I believe they care about the quality of their food and it shows. Everything was delicious, fresh and seasoned well. Don’t skip the chance to taste their homemade focaccia bread! Everything we ordered was a ten out of a ten.

Brilliant food and service. Would go more often if a few more vegi / vegan options. Some great wines but perhaps the pours seems a tad skimpy. Overall a truly great place.

Our yearly tradition did not disappoint! Next year, though I think I’m going to request to be in the main dining room. The music in the bar was too loud and a little hard for my mom who can’t hear well!
