   One of the worst experiences I have ever had. We used to love King’s but it was the first time in this location. Food turned out as usually good but the overall service turned to be absolute disaster. First, the hostess puts us at a table next to the restrooms even though 3 quarters of house are empty. Never happened to me before. Then, they are unwilling to find any nice table. Only offering outside which were not too keen on. Their attitude immediately kills our mood. Then, we love and always have oysters at King’s. We order some. Waitress comes back saying that one type is no available. We order other ones. She comes back saying they run out of those as well. At least they should know what they have and explain upfront. At this point I did not feel like eating at all…

   We had petrale sole, which is always predictably good, and fish & chips, which usually is very good but this time there was a huge amount of batter that was not crisp and did not taste right. The fish inside was good though. Waiter was pleasant and helpful, but quite busy.

   We had the King Crab. Portion is ok but it does not seems too fresh - probably kept frozen for a long time and dried out. The brussel sprouts are uncooked and too chewy and tough for my taste. I patronized this restaurant five times in the past and this last experience was worse than previous ones.

   The petrale sole is very good. So are the scallops. I would like this store to sell sand dabs (delicious) and a crab cake dinner - as they do in LA. I really miss the sand dabs -- even if they had to charge a little more for them here. The ambiance on the covered patio is good, but the music blared -- way too loud, and I enjoy popular music. The management and staff are very good. Josh is an outstanding server.

   Please change your Louis salad instead of providing a steak knife to chop it up. Service was great, but bar was slow to get everyone’s drinks out- we ordered a glass of Prosecco, which shouldn’t have taken 15 min to get :( Servers were great, friendly and accommodating.

    Service was good. The food was a bit bland. Had the albacore sushi roll. Lacked flavor. Calamari was ok. The sauces didn't really work with the calamari. I would have been more than content with the standard cocktail sauce with it. The macadamia nut-crusted halibut was good. We also got the Butter Cake and Bread Pudding. Both were good but not great. We were really looking forward to a great dinner but it did fall quite short.

    Food and drink were both awesome once they arrived, but everything did take a while. We ordered a few oysters from the raw bar that never arrived. They did remove them and bring us a very tasty dessert but odd seeing as how they should have been very quick to serve.

    We had a good experience. The crab cake appetizer was nice. Got the crispy tuna app too that was good. The kids enjoyed their burgers. The oysters were really good and I enjoyed all the garnishes that came with it. The Caesar salad was ok. Probably won’t get that again. The fish tacos were mediocre as well. Probably won’t get that again. The tortilla was so soggy, so I just ate them with a fork.

    This was our 2nd visit in a week. This time the food quality was not so good. Other than the crab cake which was delicious, rest of the items we ordered - Fish and chips, Burger, Cioppino, Rainbow trout were all below average. Service was still good

    Service was extremely slow. The server was pleasant but there was a backup in the kitchen and it took a long time for the food to be delivered. I ordered Halibut which is expensive but the portion was very small. Quality of the food was good but on the expensive side. Price / vs performance was nor up to my expectations.

    In general we enjoy coming here, however the last few times it seems that the music is so loud that we can’t hear our table companions. We have asked that it be turned down and we’re told that it wasn’t possible.

    King’s Fish House has a great menu and the food is really good. Unfortunately the service is just so inconsistent and we had a really bad experience last night. Started strong with the host adding a seat as we were 6 instead of the 5 I had reserved. Table was great and server was quick to take our orders. Then the bar took forever, 5 of us got our drinks and we were missing a beer. Told the keg was being fixed. 20 minutes later I walk up to the bar because no one had come back to our table to check if we had received it or offered a different beer since the keg is still a problem. They forgot our oysters. We asked for more bread, nothing for about 40 min when we asked again and then got it. The bus guys were awesome and trying to make up for the total lack of other service. It is just so disappointing considering how good the food is.

    Overly priced for what you get, portion is smaller than it used to be. No more lunch menu prices. Been there 6 times, after the third visits getting less impressed with prices going up, portions getting smaller. It was good when it first opened its door the first year only. After that it’s a downhill experience.

    It took very long for our food to come out due to Mother’s Day. Our server didn’t provide any updates and it was an annoying event for Mother’s Day.

    We had a group of six made up of both seafood lovers and beef/chicken eaters. The service was good and the food was excellent. We went on Mother’s day which is always chaotic, but everything turned out well. I had the lobster roll which was fabulous.

    Ate here for Mother’s Day. Service and Food were excellent! Raw oysters were lovely and the crab cake was crispy - unfortunately it only came with 1 crab cake - 2 would have been better! Lobster tails and grilled halibut were a hit! For dessert, butter cake was soo good, I should have ordered one to-go!

    The dining experience was good as usual. However, we were so upset about the customer experience. My daughter forgot her favorite headband that she left on the table. We came back and tried to ask for it after about 10 minutes. First we checked with the host and she said they don’t have it without even checked with impatient attitude. Then, I went to the table which was cleaned and checked myself. The headband was not there and I asked a server around and she said to try check with our server. Last, I checked with the server who served us and he said he didn’t clean the table so he doesn’t know. He didn’t even check with his staff who cleaned the table. So now, we are trying to give another hope here to see if it was kept somewhere in the restaurant without being trashed by the staff who cleaned the table. The headband stands out by itself with silver color studs around it.

    I love this place as it has a great vibe and amazing fish. I got the blacked swordfish and would highly recommend this dish. Only downside was our server was not attentive and never came back to check on us after we ordered our food. The manager came by after our food came out and was finally able to take our drinks order for more drinks

    It is a great place - a very good food, polite service. It is very consistent that I like the most. They have a good selection of drinks and great dishes indeed. I just surprised that there are no napkins on the table and when a waiter sees that the table is dirty (while taking empty dishes), she/he never wipes it ... Just an observation. Thank you, we had a good time.
