   Dining at Kingfisher has always been a superlative experience, so I was thrilled to see they've finally reopened their doors. We ate there for breakfast and dinner, and enjoyed every meal. My tuna tataki was seared to perfection, and it came with a huge portion of the best salad I've ever had (try the beekeeper's dressing). The fresh biscuits were our favorite part of breakfast. You can order wine or cocktails with your meal, and the setting works for family groups, romantic couples, or even just a solo getaway. If you were used to Kingfisher before the pandemic, you now order off a menu rather than going through the buffet, but the options are still plentiful and there's plenty of choices for those with any intolerances. If you want to experience fine dining in a beautiful setting, away from the bustle of touristy Leavenworth (and hey, free parking!), get to Kingfisher!

   I really wanted to live this as we were so excited Kingfisher used to be so good prior to COVID. Service was slow, food mediocre, we were served a baked potato so cold that butter wouldn’t melt. Prime rib was good but nothing I’d go back for. Very disappointing

   Arrival experience excellent. Food was terrific, I generally abhor eating food that requires me to use my hands extensively but ordered the lobster due to the enthusiasm of the chef and server over having it available. I am glad I did as my reluctance in grabbing the lobster was quickly overcome by the tasty treats protected by the nearly impenetrable shell I discovered within. The family style side of mashed potatoes and root vegetable were very well presented, and the tastes were awesome. The dessert was awesome. The service incredible. I would only have two things for improvement's sake: 1) During busy nights in the winter, having the fireplace lit prior to opening would be good. I understand trying to get it going with a full restaurant is challenging. 2) My martini was very watered down. I loved the blue cheese stuffed olives but any alcohol in the drink must have been negligible. Everything else was terrific. Great to see culinary staff out talking to tables.

   This was our first time there and we went there for Valentine's Day dinner. Very rustic place and the staff was nice. It was a bit spendy but it was good. It was a little bit hard to find because Google only takes you to the spa. So we were driving around trying to find a building that was lit up assuming that that was the place. We had to stop and ask people on a path where the restaurant was.

   this place is fabulous: a drink at the grotto, the cutest bar in the snow!!and Kingfisher dining room: the delicate FO soup! the gorgeous homemade pizza! Dough! Wow! Char! yes! the wine! the only down: all led lights need dimmers. too harsh. But this place is heaven! Get the l ighting dialed in, and there is no better spot in the snow on the east side of Wash

    Our family has been coming to Sleeping Lady and the Kingfisher for over 20 years. This was our first trip back since the Kingfisher reopened. We could not have had a more joyful return. We treasure our decades of Sleeping Lady memories. This trip was the most memorable so far. Our evening at the Kingfisher was the highlight of fabulous weekend. We have been to many of the most celebrated restaurants in Washington, New York, and elsewhere. No one has ever been more attentive to our family than the Kingfisher staff. Thank you all. We will be back again soon.
