text: I went here awhile back after hoodwinking my dad into taking out the family there.  He won't infrequently take us out for a fancy meal when we're all together but this place goes beyond our normal haunts.\n\nI found no faults with the food whatsoever.  Everything tasted just wonderful, all proteins were expertly prepared, and the menu is also quite interesting.  The heirloom tomato tart was divine, as was the duck trio which included foie gras with a sauternes reduction, confit of leg with coffee and the breast meat with lingonberry preserves.\n\nAs great as the food was, giving this place even four stars is a stretch.  And this is due to the non-food aspects of the place.  Actually I feel a bit sorry for the chef and wish he had his own restaurant somewhere else to serve this sort of food.  Kai is annoyingly pretentious, and extremely patronizing to Native American culture.  They pretend like it's some sort of homage to the desert tribes but it's really the opposite.  I wished the waiter would shut up after giving us all these greetings in the \"native language\" and talking about the artwork and such.  They call their fry bread \"fry bread from the teachings of the elders.\"  Is that what the elders teach?  How to destroy a culture, build a huge resort on their land and then create an exercise in Western exoticism a la early 20th century Europe?  Did the \"elders\" eat foie gras?\n\nI wasn't impressed by the team of four waiters taking our plates away all at once.  I asked our waiter for water and he forgot so we had to remind him again--or rather my dad did, in his usual surly way.  Sometimes when one gets involved with elaborate service it's even easier to forget the most basic things.\n\nAt the end of the day, though, I would go back again (if someone else is paying).  The food is spectacular, and I can suffer a lot for great food.
