The service was not the greatest, but the food was good and quick. Dude to the COVID-19 status perhaps there were not ready to received to many costumers. Therefore we will actually go again. read more

Amazing view and location but service is bad. First, they gave us a table that needed an additional chair for one our of guest they never brought it, gave us only one menu for a table of 5 adults, ordered a side of plantains which never was ordered by our waiter and when asked he said it was a mistake on his part and that's it, no I will order it now or do you want something else, just nothing. Food was alright. read more

Situated right on Jobos beach, this was one of the main reasons we went to this place. Service was kind of bad. We waited almost an hour for the food and drink refills. We were given plastic wear because there were no more clean utensils. Waitress said she can't get any utensils because they are not available. Eventually she showed up with some. Really beans side we ordered cake with chunks of sausage and when we said we don't eat any meat she said sorry and couldn't really do anything so we had to pick sausage out of beans. Overall food was average, overpriced but the view is nice. Would I go back there probably not. read more

Took a while for someone to give us menus and take our order. Great band and drinks were nice and strong. It's a lively place that gets busy soon. Had the quesadilla de churrasco and it was amazing. The chips were the star of the dish! Be sure to come early if you'd want to stay until the night time for the band. Got there around 7:20 and it was the perfect time to get seats. Otherwise it's standing at the bar or outside waiting for seats. Amazing beach side view! Coming back again tonight! read more

Where do I start amazing mojitos especially the coco one , the drink are great and as far as the food goes I was in the area for 8 days and hand down the food was amazing here wish I would of came here earlier in the week . We had the octopus salad and the rellano mofongo with shrimp omg that was amazing . read more

Novios family has a house adjacent to this restaurant so of course we had to visit. It is always crowded and it is a very local environment. The staff is very young and friendly. The place, being open, has a lot of flies which is expected. We each had a mojito which was beautifully presented. Novio and I ordered fried fish with arroz mamposteao', a Puertorrican classic. Ther serve a lot. The arroz (rice) was delicious yet the fish was lacking in meat due to the high amount of fried skin. Overall, great lunch place or hang-out location with friends. It does get very crowded though so parking is scarce. Also the music was terribly loud, we could barely hear each other speak. read more

Went here twice and had 2 different experiences. The first time I went around lunch time. They have the best pina colada I've ever had. Piled high with whip cream, chocolate sauce, and a cherry on top. It had just enough booze and was filling. We also had their tostones, which were great. Service was fairly good. A bit slow, but friendly overall. The second time we went it was around 9pm the same day. The space was reasonably full, but it didn't appear anyone was trying to get a drink at the bar except for me and my wife. There were about 5 people behind the bar making drinks. We stood there for about 10 minutes waiting to place an order. Bartenders kept glancing up at us and then ignoring us. It felt a bit like profiling. So, frustrated, we left. We went down the street to the Tsunami and had a service in about 30 seconds at the bar. I'd probably give them another shot next time we're in town for the pina coladas and to try more food, but the service could improve overall. read more

So, I was with Greg L. who also reviewed this spot - I echo his review 100%. The afternoon visit produced the best pina colada I've ever had in my life, and the server was really friendly. Evening visit was a waste of time and pretty frustrating. Next time I'm in Isabela, I'll definitely go back for an afternoon cocktail but will avoid for the evening rush. Not my scene. read more

The food was ok. We were at the beach location and there was a kid who had something to do with the owner that kept whistling extremely loud every 2 minutes. The locals here have no respect for the tourist. read more

We stopped here to grab a cold drink and a snack. Pina colada was good and the appetizer. Our waitress was nice. . read more

Only because i can't give a negative # of stars do they get one star. They cater to the tourist hand and foot. Because i spoke spanish i feel they totally ignored myself and my family. A group of surfers sat after us, ordered way after us and received their food before us. When our food finally got to us it was cold and some inedibile. I paid for a round of drinks and refused the order. The excuse given was that our waitress was on break. I guess no one else could attend our table. Not even an " we are sorry". Was given. They acted like it was our fault. I guess it was our fault to expect good service. read more

Kai Beach Bar and Restaurant - Sitting on the railing right on Jobos Beach. - Bars Near Me - Isabela, Puerto Rico

Unfortunately i have to give this place a low-ish rating. If you want quick and efficient service, i would not recommend Kai. It might be because they are understaffed? I don't know but ill write about my experience now: When i first got there, it took our waiter about fifteen minutes to come to our table. When someone finally came, he claimed he was not our waiter and that someone else would be working with us. After reading the menu and deciding, we still had to look around to see if our waiter would show up. Then, the same man came up and apologized and took our order because our "waiter" was not around. Everyone's check was split at the table and it seemed that our waiter had us covered. Seemed like we were set. Not. When about thirty minutes had passed and not even our waters and corona bucket arrived to our table, we knew something was up. We even saw the man that took our order walk into the parking lot and not return! Did he leave? Then, we got a new waitress and she then brought us our drinks, but no appetizer even after all the time we were waiting. I kept hearing the kitchen ringing the bell that the food was ready and a lot of people's food was still there! To make this story shorter, the appetizer arrived and then the food. My mofongo con pulpo al ajillo was good (i would hold back on the ajillo/garlic butter sauce because they made it into like a garlic butter soup) and the octopus was really soft. Everyone at the table seemed to enjoy their food (which is why they got three stars), just too much garlic sauce of the mofongo for my taste. Finally, when we were going to pay, i wanted to cover the appetizer for one of my friends so i went up to the waitress to see if she could make sure i paid for the appetizer. She then said, "in that case, could you come with me and split all the orders? The person who took your order did not split them." After we had initially split them, i had to help her split them again. Although their food is pleasant, there are other restaurants around that might be more efficient. Be mindful. read more

If you are near Isabella, go here!!! Sit at the counter facing the ocean and order the perfectly prepared calamari, then the mofongo pollo- it's amazing. Do yourself a favor and check this place out. read more

This was my first in the PuertoRico and I loved the experience. I tried the home land beer medella I think that's how it was spelled. It was a different taste for me it was strong just cause I'm not using to drinking alcohol but the nachos with the homemade cheese was beyond delicious.. I wanted to ask for the recipe or even buy a jar from them cause it was that good. And everyone the was so friendly.. if your planning on going there best time to go would be Friday night and Saturday that's their night life there even have live music both English and Spanish.. and the view is beautiful.. ocean side bar restaurant.. when I go back first stop is going to be kai read more

Love the view from the restaurant. Besides that... poor service, good was OK (to be nice), messed up the order twice and a little pricy. Lots of other restaurants to visit in the area, stay away from this one. read more

Waited 1.5 hours for food. When we asked a waiter when our food would be ready the waiter said they had to put the food order in. Mind you this was a table of 7. This place asked no questions when we got up to leave. It's as if they didn't need the business. There are plenty of well run places close by whose owner is visible and attentive to its customers both local and tourist. Say bye to Kai. read more

Is a great location so far the appetizers are great, excellent temperature, flavor, appearance and portions. When it comes to seating the need to have more lower chairs as per American Disability Act the higher chairs become a challenge. The whole staff is very attentive and friendly. read more

Amazing view. Fine service if you speak Spanish; if not pull out the Google translate. They were patient with our Spanglish. The beer was warm but server offered a bucket of ice to cool them down. The fried shrimp (actually coconut shrimp) was delicious. Two Negra Modelos, one shrimp appetizer= $19.38 with tax. Affordable spot just off of the stunning Jobos Beach. read more

The ambient was nice. The service was excellent. We had the surtidos Jobos. Food was good as well.

The coconut mojito was awesome. The passion fruit mojito is also great. The coconut is refreshing though. Also the chicken nacho appetizer is phenomenal. The mofongo was ok but the salad with shrimp was great. Our friends had mahi mahi fish sandwich and churrasco and loved their meals. The view is beach side so having a great meal with beach view is perfect, read more

Menu doesn't show ingredients they add to the plate. Ordered a chicken stuffed with beef and in the menu didn't say it included bacon, heavy cream and white sauce which they drench all over. Nasty. read more

A great local place right on the beach. Plenty of cold Corona. In fact, they sport 2 clear door Corona coolers with temp display. Very decent above average food. The nachos are not your average cheese chips black olives, but loaded with stuff. Staff is very attentive, friendly. Early it's fairly quiet. Later on it's a loud party. Live band on weekends. read more

The one star is for the ocean view. Really the only pro. Food Mediocre and over priced. Waiter described food and it didn't come as described. Litter on the floor and service slow. read more

We've been here several times. The view is fabulous, service is average, and the food is great. I highly recommend the fish burger, the skirt steak or the shrimp pasta. Mojitos are delicious! We are some fun people, but seriously the music NEEDS TO BE LOWERED asap! It is extremely loud to the point that it limits conversation. read more

The food quality was good and the service was friendly yet we waited 40 min for the food, it was very busy. The view was great. A nice stop for lunch if you are not in a hurry to eat. read more

Pretty good food and drinks. Good pricing and great atmosphere. The bar faces the ocean and all the staff was super nice and accommodating.

Unbelievable location and food! Order the sampler platters so you can try a little bit of everything. This was the best calamari and coconut shimp I've had on the island. And we got to watch the local surfers ride the waves while we ate lunch. read more

The food an location are excellent, prices are OK but not too high, very relax but parking is an issue if you get there late. The servers are very good and fast, and beer is cold. La comida es muy buena y la porcion es bastante, los meseros son muy buenos y rapidos, los precios de el menu estan bien y no muy altos, lo que no me gusto mucho fue el estacionamiento, es un poco limitado si llegas tarde. en resumen me gusto mucho y me senty muy comodo. read more

Its always very nice to come here after a log beach day. I love their samplers and cold beers. Some of the staff are loud and not very professional but I guess its part of the experience. read more

The snapper with mofongo was spectacular. Perfect table with a view of one of the worlds most perfect beaches. The coconut monitor was amazing! I will be back! Enjoy! read more

The steak is amazing, but if the kitchen is backed up don't expect the best sides. Steak still remains #1

This place is amazing! The drinks are so refreshing and you can't beat the view, it is spectacular. The food is authentic and delicious. Staff is very friendly and they also have live music on designated days. If you come to Isabela you won't be disappointed visiting Kai. read more

Kai Beach Bar and Restaurant - Passion fruit mojito! - Bars Near Me - Isabela, Puerto Rico

My boyfriend and I attempted to go to Kai on a weekend night but after not being able to find parking we opted to come back earlier the next night. For sure the right choice, we arrived before dark and were seated, no problem at one of the tables that over looks the ocean. It was the perfect view straight out of a corona commercial. Others have commented the service was slow, it was but it's Puerto Rico so I think that should come a little bit expected. The burger and fries were yummy and hit the spot. Their margaritas were also great! My boyfriend liked that they had the football game on and I liked that after they had some live music. The power did go out while we were there but they still were able to get us our drinks and food. My recommendation is to get their early to get a table with a view! read more

Good live music. Good prices. And good food. The staff members are super nice. Over all, lovely environment.

Terrible experience. Waited over an hour for food. Waiter avoided our table. I'd be happy to leave some kind of review of the food, but we needed to leave before it came. Avoid this place. Many other much better options nearby. read more

Beautiful location. Excelent fresh food. Great service. Totally recommend it. The lobster was amazing and I am a bartender, and I can say that is one of the best sangrias I ever had. Don't leave the place without trying the sangria!! read more
