   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.

   Keith, our server, was fantastic. The fish was incredible. Prices were reasonable. We had a wonderful experience. But Keith, in particular, was just terrific. He knew everything in the menu and was so friendly.

   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.

    We love King's, but they didn't have either of my favorite dishes when we were there. I realize that their menu changes daily. Nonetheless, I had the grilled Halibut, which was very good.

    The food was pretty good, the Octopus App was my favorite. I expected a little more for the atmosphere. It felt more like a dinning hall than a sea food place. The service was good and our waiter was pretty patient will us, considering it was our first time. I didn't leave feeling like the restaurant was anything special. For the price we spent i would much rather got to the Water Grill downtown. I may go back again but i wouldn't make it my top choice for sea food.

    the manager was degrading the hostess’ infront of people checking in. Waiters were gossiping next to the tables, some of the stuff they were saying was about the customers. We waited 45 minutes for our food. It was chaos the whole time.. I’ve never given a bad review to a restaurant EVER but this place deserved a bad review..

    Great Mother’s Day meal and my husbands bday. We were running late and they held the reservation for us. But we were stuck at n a corner on patio and I had to remind them the of my husbands bday. It started to get packed so maybe they just didn’t read the details of reservation plus we were late 10 minutes:(

    Terrible service. Waited for 25 minutes after our reservation due to overbooking. Unfortunately our server had a bad attitude and seemed bothered by everything. The manager was a total jerk as well. I used to love King’s, but we will never be back. We had planned on ordering entrees but decided a drink and appetizer was enough.

    Our server Keagan was amazing! The food was delicious and it was a nice night to sit on the patio. It was a busy night/weekend so there were very minor delays with getting silverware, we had to wait a few moments for our reservation and the food took a little longer than usual; all these things are expected on a busy weekend night. As good as the food was (even the reheated leftovers were tasty), Keagan was the best part of our experience. He was very sweet and personable. We had a great time and we were talking about our next meal before we even left the parking lot. All this to say, yes I would recommend this place ☺️

    In order to avoid the Mother's Day chaos on Sunday, I made reservations for Saturday night instead - which allowed us to enjoy my parents actual wedding anniversary as well. We were a party of 6 + a kid, so a bit larger than usual. Our waitress was as patient as can be, and constantly checking in on our table giving updates to food delivery, making sure everything was to our satisfaction. The order included cioppino, oysters, sandwiches, soups, tacos, and a few fish orders. Everything was excellent. We topped off the meal with a few desserts, and the plates were cleaned. I would be remiss if not to comment on the kid "activity" book that was handed out with the menus. This was the best distraction for kids I've ever seen in ANY restaurant we've been too. Tons of things to keep them busy. Then the kiddie cup that was given for his lemonade - equal to the $5 plastic ones purchased at Target. Thoughtful details for the kiddos. We've been here several times before, but this was a good reminder we need to keep it on a more frequent rotation. Service and food is excellent.

    We arrived promptly and we had to wait 10-15 min to be seated. It was packed, we were seated at the table located right by the kitchen so a lot of waiter traffic right behind me pushing my purse (small), every time they walked by. Our wine was nice as well as the cocktails but my son’s beer was forgotten for the longest time and our waitress no where to be found. Calamari was good, sushi ok, shrimp dish good, 3 fish main course dishes very nice but the spaghetti & shrimp dish was awful. Pasta was over cooked and shrimp was gooey. My daughter’s boyfriend had ordered it and didn’t want to make a fuss but my daughter let me know. Not sure we’ll be back.

    The food quality was so-so. N'walins bbq shrimp flavor and seasoning was very good, the ship was sparse, dry and dense. Yellow tail sashimi was oxidized (not so fresh). Ambiance is fun and the service was great.
