   We went here for dinner to celebrate my birthday. Staff was incredibly sweet and checked in on us often. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time. The restaurant was unexpectedly busy for a Wednesday night, but the ambiance and noise levels were great. Would definitely come back again for the seafood platters and oysters!

   Waitress took our order, served our appetizers, then 1.5 hrs later tried to bring us our check but we never received the entrees. The entrees were buried and they left the entire exoskeleton shell on the hrimp, including the head, in dishes where this is not customary.

   Everything was hit-and-miss tonight. The fries were cold. We had to ask for just about everything - refills, condiments, etc. And it was an early dinner before it got crowded. Finished off the evening by being told we could only use one “bonus” gift card per visit (purchased from King’s Christmas promo) when we were told during our last visit we could use them together. All told, not quite the experience I would expect from a $75/per person dinner, especially when one has to make multiple visits to use their gift cards. Not the value proposition it appears up front.

   Very happy with the service, and wonderful cocktails, but disappointed with food. The fish was cooked well, but the Mahi could have had more seasonin and a nicer crust (like you would find coming out of anyone's kitchen on Iceland), Brussels more char, the Mac and cheese warmer.

   Fresh Little necks and the clam chowder exceeded expectations.

   Our food was good, and we had a nice server. I enjoyed the scallops and shrimp entree the rainbow carrots were delicious side. Our calamari appetizer was excellent and so was the fresh sourdough bread.

    This was our first encounter with this restaurant. It offers great value for seafood dishes. The iceberg lettuce salad was amazing, and the octopus grilled dish was equally delicious.
