We were greeted warmly by the hostess who sat us immediately. Server came by and offered us water, wished she could have greeted us and either asked or gave us a small intro to Kikis Menu since menu on website is almost completely different than what we got, plus she could have suggested drinks and/or appetizers to start. Staying on menus, they need to increase the size of font on the cocktail menu, you really need an eyeglass to see what was offered. We all decided on our drinks after a few minutes and the housemate foccacia ( which we all enjoyed specially the whipped cheese) Our entrees we selected: (1) Hanger Steak, Half Chicken Parma & Pepperoni Pizza. The Pizza came out just the way we expected nice and hot, cheese was gooey and enough pepperoni (great for only $ 25) Now the Steak while it tasted wonderful it was cold and pricey $ 43 so was the Chicken Parma $ 32, it seems they sat waiting for pizza to be ready. But everyone enjoyed the flavors of all 3 dishes. When Manager and it seemed like owners approached our table and asked about our dinner, we shared with them and they did say we should have said something about the cold plates, we just wanted for them to know it for future. We ordered Tiramisu for dessert and flavor was on point. Just wished they would not put it on a bowl, so we could appreciate the layering of the mascarpone, lady fingers etc. All flavors were great, even though items were cold, a few items were over priced, server was friendly but on my opinion needs to be trained to offered another round of drinks, offer dessert, offer after dinner drinks etc. and we asked for the check it took long to arrive. Also we arrived when around 8pm there was enough light to see it was open, but when we left the front area looked dark, maybe strip mall needs better lighting for future guest see that they are open.
