Seafood

Top Tags:

We’ve been in restaurants a long time – three generations, to be precise – and we love seafood. With seafood there’s so much to be passionate about – the freshness, the flavor, the variety, and the surprise.

To create the ultimate seafood experience, we traveled down the highways and byways. We pulled up a seat, put on bibs, and soaked up the seafood experience: The no-name dishes with unforgettable flavor, the fresh-caught oysters and clams piled high, the hand-lettered specials on ancient chalkboards, and the savory simmer of every combination of spices imaginable.

The pleasure of preparing and sharing seafood was simple and genuine, and it brought out the best in everyone. Often, we felt as if we’d been welcomed into somebody’s home.

That’s what King’s Fish House is all about — and we’ve tried to bring all of these ideas together into one single, spectacular place, filled with camaraderie and celebration, and the things we love best. Welcome to the House that Seafood Built!

Dinner with friends. Scallops were cooked perfect, but had some grit. Shrimp were a bit tough. Good service, prices aren't bad, reservation was right on time.

We often dine here. Today the food was good as usual, but we had two disappointments. We really like the Organic Green Salad but today they forgot to add the dressing. The Zucchini is also a favorite of ours, but today the Zuchini was raw because it was not grilled nearly long enough. Otherwise we had a good experience.

As usual the food was delicious. The server forgot my salad prior to my meal but that was fine. I know it was a busy time in the restaurant so she probably got side tracked. Her service was excellent. Thank you>

Was really loud nut it was crowded. Smallest oysters we’ve ever had. Don’t think their was one clam in our clam chowder but broth was delicious. Had to send fries back on combo as they were cold. Charged us for them although they were part of combo platter. Then took off the bill. Waiter told us they would split up the combo platter to two plates but they didn’t. But it was fine.

We were seated to our table with 2-3 minutes after arriving. Reservations are a must at King’s if you don’t want a long wait. Our server was very friendly! Drinks, appetizers and food brought within a reasonable amount of time. Refills and bread was a little slow but it was a busy Saturday night. We sat in the side outside patio area which I think is less checked in on over other areas of the restaurant. We will back though. I love the seafood options!

Usually King Fish House is amazing. This visit the restaurant was not up to the usual expectations. The restaurant was so hot inside it was hard to enjoy our meal while sweating due to the lack of AC. Noticed other guests in our seated area were having the same issue. Ordered grilled fish tacos with sea bass. Due to sea bass the taco price doubled to $42! Our waitress was absolutely amazing though! Food and service was awesome but they could have done a better job with the price of the tacos and the temperature of the restaurant.

All was great however, the restaurant was really warm, to the point that we were sweating. We brough this to the manager's attention and he tried to make it cooler but it didn't work. It was a warm day and the restaurant was packed so that may have attributed to how hot it was but it did make it uncomfortable for us

What is going on here? The prices have increased significantly. They should increases some, however, this may soon be out of our reach for a nice evening out. The wine, 1/2 bottle of Jordon Chardonnay, was served in what looked like a Sauvignon bottle. Very cheesy. It tasted off. Was it old? Certainly not the way to serve a good bottle of wine. Who does this? The sushi platter was sparse with a few pieces that did not taste fresh. My friend had the fish and chips. $25 for 2 pieces of fish and fries. We may not return. And from the number of patrons in the restaurant on a Friday night, we may not be alone in that decision. Is there new management? What happened to our go-to place for a good meal?

Reservation was for 6:15 seated at 6:40. The dissatisfaction was that an open both was available from the time I showed up on time for the 6:15 reservation. Front desk advised the booth was reserved. Our party was seated at a substandard table across from the empty booth that was not occupied until 6:50 for the reservation that was presumably late. Very disappointed. See photo of open booth.

We were a little disappointed in the overall service at dinner last night. Our food was good. The waiter was pleasant enough but fairly inefficient. To start with I ordered hard shelled lobster and was looking forward to it, but the waiter came back to tell me (after a wait) that the restaurant was out of lobster. We ordered drinks and it took about half an hour to get them. And the waiter didn't check in with us or try to get the bartenders' attention until prompted by me to do so. So, although our dinner order tasted fine, we weren't as pleased as we usually are at Kings.
