First time coming to Kingfish and it happened to be 1/2 off wine bottles which was amazing. My husband ordered the king crab legs and I had the filet. Both were so delicious. Our server was wonderful, he was very professional and helpful. Always there to answer questions and kept my wine glass topped off! Definitely a resturant to check out and come back too!
