Kiki Rye - Mount Pleasant

We had a wonderful experience with our healthy meals and the decor was lovely. Our waitress was amazing and incredibly friendly. I can't wait to return. I truly love this local business!

This restaurant boasts a fantastic location by the water, complete with adorable baby ducks swimming nearby. We started with the cauliflower appetizer, which was absolutely delicious—full of excellent flavors, especially with the accompanying sauces. Our table also enjoyed the crab cakes, which were equally amazing. The swordfish was fantastic as well, with a sauce that was bursting with flavor! The staff were very pleasant and accommodating. I would have loved to enjoy a little focaccia bread from their wood-fired oven, but that’s just my personal preference. I highly recommend this restaurant!

I really enjoyed it! The quality of the food was exceptional. The only downside was the swordfish dish, which felt more like scrambled eggs with fish—it could have used some crunch. However, our service was top-notch. It's a great spot for a date night! I'll definitely be returning!

Decor and ambience 4.5 stars. Drink menu is 5 stars, but the actual drinks were 1 star especially at $14 each. Service was 4 star. Food was 1 star! -Autumn salad was bland $14). -Roasted cauliflower wasn't roasted and had consistency of boiled cauliflower drenched in oily flavorless sauce $14). -Baked rigatoni in vodka sauce was overpowered by a gooey sweet butternut component with burnt rigatoni on top and over cooked watery pasta on bottom, topped by dry burnt mozzarella $22).-Faroe Island salmon requested medium was burnt to a crisp and simply tasted like oil. Setting was dry over-cooked broccoli with black burnt edges and hard stems. Chef basically destroyed a delicate piece of fish $30).Didn't bother getting more than one drink or dessert. Underwhelming at best. Won't be back and won't recommend to others. Note: recent reviews average 2 star while older reviews 4-5. Also it's been mentioned that during weekends the quality drastically decreases. We went on a Friday night).

I think Kiki is a bit pricier than it should be, but they do have really great specials which make it worth going!! The burger night is a great deal and they have 50% off drinks for happy hour as well. Burger and side salad were great, especially for $10. The apps (burrata and pumpkin ricotta) weren't as good, chocolate cheesecake was fantastic and we ordered a second slice to go. The staff was also super friendly and accommodating! Will definitely return for another burger night.
