My wife and I dined here a week ago. It was such a great experience. We enjoyed the introduction about the Pima Native Americans before the courses started. The levels of flavors with each course were something that we have never experienced before. It was my first time trying foie gras and it was amazing. We will definitely make a return. Thank you for creating a fantastic date night for us!

One of the most exceptional dining experiences of my life.
Kai delivers an unforgettable, truly immersive Native fine-dining experience. Every part of the meal is intentionally rooted in the land, the culture, and the stories of the O’odham and Piipaash communities.
The opening amuse, an oyster with hibiscus foam on red salt, set the tone beautifully. The Pee-Posh Garden was a standout in both flavor and presentation it looked like a miniature rock garden, with pecan “soil” resembling stones and each vegetable prepared individually to look like its own plant or flower. The bread service was another highlight: l’itoi onion (a traditional, local ingredient) gave the bread a subtle green hue and incredible flavor.
The venison was perfectly cooked and not gamey at all. It was just stunning. The bison course was deeply flavorful and thoughtfully tied to regional tribal food traditions. Even the elixir served as a palate cleanser, white sage tea, apple cider vinegar, and pink lady apple juice, was one of the most unique things I tasted all night.
Dessert was light, earthy, and memorable, especially the sage cream.
Of the cocktails, The Sage and Pima Bear were my favorites.
The service is truly exceptional. The team explained not just the ingredients and preparation, but the cultural and agricultural connections behind each dish. I asked a lot of questions, and every server was incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and engaging.
The ambiance was intimate and beautiful and the surprise November thunderstorm outside somehow made the whole evening feel even more special. I also appreciated the sensory towel service infused with Native herbal plants and the thoughtful candle gift at the end.
As someone who works in Tribal food sovereignty, I try to support Native-owned and tribally connected food spaces wherever I travel. Kai is one of the highest expressions of that work I’ve ever experienced. Supporting them directly supports Tribal communities and the food, service, and experience are world-class.
I would come back any day.

Taylor and Asia took amazing care of us. Everything was phenomenal but my favorites were the pee posh, venison, bison, and the honey dessert. They made our birthday celebration very special. I highly recommend trying this once in a lifetime experience!

I am a foodie and have been to many great restaurants. Kai needs to be added to that list. I live in Old Scottsdale so have been to Atlas and Cafe Monarch and many other top notch places. Went to Kai at Wild Horse Pass Resort tonight. Jeremy and Taylor were our hosts for the night and were both fantastic. Can not say enough about the service and the food but the real winner was the small touches. The pour over coffee, the desert rain smell, dry ice garden, the candle they sent home with us, the personal note thanking us for the night and the special desert for our anniversary. Everything was tip top and fantastic. You will not be disappointed. Will go again.

It’s quite unfortunate that I can’t rate this place higher than 5 stars, because it deserves it and more. Where to start???
From the moment we dropped off our car at the valet, we knew this was going to be something special. The service was out of this world exceptional. I’ll say that twice. Exceptional!!! The staff was amazing. We were celebrating our anniversary and it seemed like they were there just for us.
The food was phenomenal. The chef deserves his flowers. The explanations of all the foods went over my head, I’ll admit, but boy!! I’ve never had those combinations of flavors before. Portion sizes were small, but it was a tasting menu and we left quite satisfied.
We were pampered for the 2.5 hours we spent there. My wife got up to go to the bathroom, and as soon as she left the room, they came and changed out her napkin. At the end of the night, when we got our car back, they had left some sweet deserts and a very lovely card on the dashboard for us.
It is pricey, but it is absolutely worth every penny.

This is one of the few restaurant that sits on indigenous native American land and serves French inspired dishes based on local ingredients. The staff was professional with deep knowledge and explanations of these dishes and ingredients used by the chef. The decorations and design elements of the restaurant are all based on native American stories and beliefs. The food was well designed and very tasty. Overall, it was a great experience.

The food and drinks were all phenomenal, it’s hard to pick a favorite dish! The presentation was gorgeous and the food was fresh and crafted so thoughtfully. 10/10, the perfect 5 year anniversary dinner experience!!

KAI is absolutely incredible. Such a rare and special experience that we are all lucky to have exist. Feliciano has been our server for YEARS and is the most hospitable, knowledgable, friendly, kind. The Sommelier, Darren, knows everything you’d want to know about wines and has great suggestions. Chef Drew Anderson is so talented and has created a wonderful, memorable, delicious menu. The service is over the top. We hope this restaurant stays around forever!

My review from Kai is way past its due time. My wife and I were there on Feb 24, 24. However, the experience both in terms of service and food was so outstanding that we still remember and discuss it. The theme was corn and there was a story to tell from the start to the end of the menu.
In terms of food, all the dishes were some of the most complex foods we had, both in terms of taste and texture.
The service was also spectacular, the staff took care of us from start to the end. I will let the photos speak for themselves.

My husband and I celebrated his birthday here while we were in town for a business conference. Their awards were why we booked and boy, did they live up to the hype. Our waitstaff “team” were attentive and incredibly knowledgeable regarding the dishes offered, as well as the local history and Native American influence. The food and its presentation were excellent. To top off the delightful experience, my husband was given a small gift in celebration of his birthday.
An excellent option in the greater Phoenix area. We enjoyed it very much and look forward to a return visit in the future.
