Kai
Kai is a casual oceanfront restaurant known for its relaxing ambiance and scenic waterfront views. The menu features international favorites including pizza, tacos, and burgers, with clearly marked vegan options like avocado tacos, lemon fries, and plant-based burgers, although vegan cheese and mayo are not available. Several reviewers note that the menu can be confusing and vegan options have decreased recently, but the friendly staff and accommodating service remain consistent highlights.
