   Great food and great value. My only issue is that the hostest tends to seat everyone in the same row right next to each other in a otherwise empty restaurant

   Fathers Fay visit yesterday was poor. We had a reservation and were seated promptly. However, that’s where the visit turned south. Our waiter failed to enter appetizers and I had to follow up with home twice. Appetizers came when entrees were brought to the table and food was cold . Food for (3) totaled 155.00 and going to a local Chilis would have been too notch compared to last night service and food quality

   When spending $30 on shrimp and scallops, it would be nice to get an actual meal, not 4 small pieces of each. All of the food was very bland, outside of the extremely overpriced clam chowder. All in all, the atmosphere was nice but the food quality, portions, and ridiculous price negated the atmosphere. I would not recommend going here unless you enjoy dropping a lot of money and going home hungry.

   Made a reservation for the patio but once we checked in and waited for 15 min they attempted to sit us inside without even asking if we would like to instead of sitting outside. When I told them our RESERVATION was for the patio they made us wait another 30 minutes. Finally we’re seated outside and we immediately order drinks and main courses. Then we we’re served the same dish (fried shrimp) even though I had ordered lobster clam back. Waiter apologized for the mistake and went back to the kitchen to have it corrected, only to come back to the table to tell me that the clam bake part that I had ordered had been discontinued! I said ok, just the lobster then. Had to wait another 30 min get what I had ordered almost an hour ago! Lobster was great, however my partner had already finished their meal before I ever got mine. The check came and I was charged for the clam bake as a side (even though the said the didn’t have it) and over charged me for just the lobster by $30! I had to ask for an adjustment to the bill for NOT getting the clam bake AND for being over charged for the lobster. Was very frustrating that I order the lobster based on the menu price and they had the nerve to over charge by $30. The waiter came back with an adjusted bill only after I brought it to his attention. Ask to talk to the manager to bring his attention to the debacle of our entire experience. Of course he apologized but no offers to make it up to us. We are semi regulars (1 or 2 times a month). Not sure we will go back, looking for a new seafood place in SD now. 🤨🤨🤨

   Our waitress did NOT want to be there. We had to ask to order drinks, and it was the biggest inconvenience for her. We are asked to have a couple straws and she threw them on my hand as she walked by the table. The food was OK. The sushi platter you could tell was basically just thrown together with as little effort as possible. Overall the food was all right. We never got asked to get refills on our drinks even though they were empty about halfway through our meal. I definitely would not recommend this place to people… Although maybe it was just our experience? It was so crowded that it must be good, we just got unlucky.

    Service by Carlos was not the best. He was very rude to my mom and the to top it off charged us for wings that he never brought out and they never took off the bill. Awful experience will not be going back.

    Above excellent server. Very impressed and he elevated the experience. He checked to see what oysters would match our taste and had great suggestions and deep knowledge of all the menu. He was able to explain and check with the teenagers in our group to identify the best choices for them.

    This was our second time at this location, and the food was good as usual. The service, however, wasn’t. The waitress was moving too quick and our meal felt rushed the entire time. There was another table to the left of us being served too. Which meant there were plenty of open tables outside. The inside didn’t seem too crowded or busy either. So what was all the rush about? We got our check within 15 minutes of getting seated. We didn’t ask for it. We weren’t done eating. The waitress would leave quickly after taking out initial orders which didn’t allow us time to have our questions answered. The oyster tray was missing a spoon so we couldn’t scoop the sauces. Not a good experience this time around.

    The Cioppino was bland and the mussels had a harsh chemical taste. Shrimp was dry and stale. Octopus very rubbery. The fin fish in the cioppino and the very small amount of crab legs were good. Very little else was.

    We have eaten here many times and enjoyed everything including food and service. This experience was a complete departure from our previous meals there. The waitperson was fine, but from when she took the order until we received our food it was over one hour. Then when food was delivered with a very flimsy excuse ( we had watched many tables seated after us receive their food), one order was wrong. And rather than bring the correct side dishes, she actually asked if we wanted them. or were the incorrect ones acceptable? Also being offered free dessert as a remedy for this seemed very unfair. A free meal would have been more like it. It was clear the kitchen messed up regarding the long wait and the incorrect order.

    King's was hopping when we got there for dinner last night... there was a line out the door and all the tables were full. We were sat quickly at our reservation time and we were greeted promptly by our server. Food was outstanding as it always is... The Mac and cheese was extra good this time and my wife and daughter reported that the oysters were fantastic. Food was served quicker than we expected with it being so busy. A manager came by to check in with us and make sure everything was good. King's is one of the best seafood places in the area. It's always good and the service is always outstanding. If Ken is working, he's the best server in the business! Thanks!

    Overall it was pretty good. The beet salad and sea bass and bread were really good. Only downside was they don't have King Crab legs as they were getting them from Russia. Also the place seemed like it needed a deep cleaning. Had to return the plates we were given because they were dirty.

    We made a reservation and there were a lot of open tables but we were sat right by the kitchen. We could see staff getting bread for their tables without gloves after just carrying back dirty dishes or processing payments. Our food was mediocre and it was really noisy next to the kitchen and it felt like we were right in a traffic path for the staff.

    It always seems to be cool in there. They have all the doors open and in San Diego, in the evening, the breeze is pretty cool. I don't sit outside because I don't want a cool breeze over my hot food. It took more time last night to get our food than usual. Maybe some staff out? I do love their food!!

    Kings Fish House is one of our favorite local places. Yesterday we came in for lunch. My wife had the Louis salad which was great. I had a salad and the Spicy Fish Soup - which I have had a number of times. Unfortunately, there was maybe 4 small pieces of fish in the entire bowl - pretty disappointing - and very unlike our usual experience here. So, I thought I'd write this review to let management know as quality control is easy to lose and hard to maintain. And, you certainly don't want the cooks dictating the quantities. Before I forget, our server was Brie - she's attentive, ebullient and a joy - an asset for your restaurant. See you soon.

    Kenneth our server was so attentive, but not obtrusive. He really made my birthday dinner with family feel so special. We brought in our own cake, and thank you for supplying the plates, forks and big cutting knife for us. That’s why our family never hesitates going there for celebrations. Helps that we love the food!

    We always love to dine at King's Fish. We started with fresh oysters and I had the soft shell crabs which are in season now. Kathy was an excellent server. No corkage fee so we brought a good bottle of wine.
