    Garlic bread
    Brooke A.

    We went here for dinner with a large group of-- they were quite accommodating with seating us inside, and the service was very attentive. The food left a little to be desired, though. The garlic bread pictures with the small tin of dipping sauces, which was recommended by our server, was $17 and quite a small portion considering it was just bread and sauce. The garlic bread was good and somewhat cheesy, but definitely not worth the price. We had well-prepared main dishes, including the enchiladas and eggplant parmigiana. This restaurant reminded me of a BJs or Cheesecake Factory, only with higher prices with no increase in quality. It is perfectly fine for a dinner in a pinch but I would probably not go back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The booth we sat in also had crumbs on the seat when we arrived.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The overall ambiance is upscale but there were some details such as the number of plates and water glasses served and the little cleanliness pieces that left something to be desired.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Margherita Pizza
    Allen L.

    No complaints about the food quality and taste. I took my order to go. The Margherita pizza is pretty good. The crust is paper thin. Cheese and toppings loaded to the edge. I had to reheat each slice individually in a frying pan to crisp it up again, the crust is so thin, it can get soggy rapidly. I did feel that ~$24 with tax and tip for a 12" pizza is a little plush.

    Margherita Pizza  so good!

    Okay, you know I am a New Yorker not matter how long I have lived in California, right?! So, with that said...I am very picky about my Za! It's like all the stars have to be aligned properly...but I digress. I stopped by here after reading a yelp review with positive feedback. The inside is very nice with plenty of seating and a beautiful bar. I ordered it to go because I was dateless that night. I waited by the bar for my order. The staff was super nice and very courteous to me. They offered me water and before I knew it my order was ready. I was a starvin' Marvin and could not wait until I got back to my Airbnb to eat. Lol. This pizza was delectable!!!! The right amount of cheese, sauce and crust ratio was happening and this girl's taste buds were doing the happy dance. Who cares that it was 113 degrees out at 7:30 pm, I was eating that hot cheesy pizza while driving. Shhhh you didn't hear that:) Yummmmmm! And my side salad was good too. The next day I heated up my left over margherita pizza and it was just as good. Would definitely go back here and highly recommend this place for dining in or taking out. Plenty of parking in the lot. Check the website to confirm hours of operation during the summer. There were a few days they were closed.

    We enjoyed The Cantina…read more We arrived around 1 pm on a very hot weekday. Outdoor seating, overlooking the Polo Fields were available but it was just too hot to sit outdoors. The place wasn't busy and we were seated inside right away. Water, Chips and Salsa was brought out right away. We were here with another couple. They ordered special Chips that came with Salsa, Queso and Guacamole. They shared it with us and it was quite tasty. My wife and I shared a bowl of Chicken Tortilla Soup and a Southwestern Salad. Both were hearty and very good. Our friends share an order of Tacos and they enjoyed them. I would recommend The Cantina.

    SHORT ANSWER: YES, Maybe not a tourist spot but for sure an excellent locals spot to hang out,…read morecheck hours and matches being played if you're into polo. LOCATION: kind of hidden away, but once you know it, you will come back. It's been a bit confusing over the last few years but now they are in a really good place I think. FACILITY: very very casual, clothing is required however.. but pretty much wear what makes you happy cuz no one cares if you're wearing Prada or Dickies. MENU: Limited, all very good. FOOD PREP: as you would expect, very nice and an upgrade from years past with help from a few friends from the neighbors... lots of transition happening with ownerships, turf wars, and Coachella festival. FOOD QUALITY: very good... LIBATIONS: very good but a bit on the $$$ side. I had just returned home and was airport tired so it was all worth it and I got my medication. WAITSTAFF: as good as it gets, fun, not stuffy or fake which is really nice. Do you hear me The Grill on Main. OVERALL VALUE: Not inexpensive for sure but well worth it, we stay 3 hours and enjoy almost dancing... TIP: pick your times, call ahead I believe they still take reservations.

The Shrimp Caserecce Alla Vodka was definitely the best dish we had--really flavorful and the highlight of the meal. The Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza was also very good. For dessert, we tried the New York cheesecake, gelato, and an affogato. All three were good and a nice way to finish the meal. The service was great and everyone was friendly. The restaurant was a little warm inside, but it was extremely hot outside, so that may have been part of it. Overall, Kiki's was good.

Kiki's Sala: salanova lettuce is unusual but tasty -- like arugula without the bitterness. This is a large portion which you could share with four people as an appetizer. Sugar Snap Pea pizza: unexpected flavors with snap peas, mushrooms, & stracciatella. Table was divided on whether this worked. Cacio e Pepe: this version uses bucatini and is a little creamier than the classic. I ate it all regardless. Grilled Avocado: the name ignores that it includes fried artichokes as well. Satisfying and not too garlicky. Another large portion. The only disappointing item was the Polenta -- a little bland. If you get the Chicken Parm, you only need a half portion. Jack says the best two dishes are the Caesar and Linguini & Clams. They fly in Juniors cheesecake from NY! Full bar, attractive ambiance, and well trained staff. Go to Kiki's.

The menu keeps it simple: burgers, fries, shakes. But when you do the basics right, that's all you need. Everything is made fresh to order, but somehow they keep the wait time quick. We grabbed a round of burgers and split some fries, and everything came out fast and hot. Burgers: 10/10. This is what they're known for, and for good reason. Fully customizable (go for the double though, trust me), with gooey cheese, fresh toppings, and that perfect thousand island style spread. One of the best classic burgers I've had in a long time. Fries: Don't sleep on the specialty fries. I went with the Fiesta Fries and HOLY HELL WERE THESE GOOD! Ground beef, shredded cheese, G sauce, sour cream...BOMB. Definitely a crowd favorite. Drinks: Washed it all down with an ice cold lemonade. Perfection. :) The hospitality was just as solid as the food. The staff here are friendly, welcoming, and all around great vibes. This spot is a gem and absolutely deserves the love. I will be back!
