I visited Kii PubResto again (1st time was for a 5.00-8.30 afternoon with open prosecco or wine & cheese / salads buffet aperitivo option for $23). The 2nd time was on a Wednesday for a French music & ladies’ night as recommended by Mr. Claude (the new managing partner), who insisted that I come making it look as a personal invitation.

The food we had was flavorful and well-prepared, but the variety was a bit limited. I was expecting a bit more in terms of options. Still, what they did serve was tasty and super nicely presented. A cool spot to relax, especially if you’re looking for good vibes, good service, and a solid...
