   I really like King’s and I often go here with friends and family. The food is always really good and fresh. I brought my parents here last night, they are visiting from Florida. As always, the food was great, the ambiance was nice and we enjoyed our time there. Our server was really nice however it felt that he had too many tables to serve. None of our empty plates were removed from the table so we had our entrees served to us with a table full of empty appetizer plates. Our table was crammed with plates and we had to ask someone to take some of the empty plates. Other than that, we had a very nice time. Our server was very friendly and was doing the best he could but didn’t love having all of the plates on our table most of the time we were dining.

   We had a great night at Kings. The food was great and the service was outstanding. Dennis was friendly, efficient, on time, and provided us the best service since we have coming to Kings! The Miso Sea Bass was wonderful. A great overall night.

   Very busy location, server brought a half dozen oysters when we ordered a full dozen and it was very difficult, and noticeably stressful, to get his attention. Service was not good but food was great.

   While the food and ambiance are very good, the service needs significant improvement for the price point. It took 20 min to get a bottle of sparkling water after ordering. Our server consistently paid little attention to our table or the details of our order. As several diners have mentioned, the sides came cold. I heard 2 other tables complaining about cold sides as well during our meal which leads me to believe this is a consistent issue. We were told they had “run out” of the salad we had ordered (it was 630?) and when we asked if there was another salad only given one other option despite there being more on the menu. Our starter arrived cold and 10 min after our entrees were served. Overall the food was delicious but the service and heat issues should be resolved.

   We asked to be moved outside because table we were given inside was by the front door and it was cold, that is no problem. Once sat , we had no service at all for maybe 15 minutes, not even water. Apparently the designated server was having issues with his tables. Eventually a new server arrived, she was nice . When the entrees arrived , after another long wait , the sides were all cold. They were replaced but arrived close to end of our meal. We have been to kings fish house a few times before, and actually recommend it to our friends who joined us . Overall it was a disappointing experience with poor service and cold food

   The waiter was great. However, the food is a bit salty.

    Thanksgiving was our first visit to this restaurant. Calamari was a little too crisp but artichoke appetizer has good flavors. We ordered lobster roll and miso sea bass both were excellent. For dessert the key lime pie was good but the chocolate cake was too dry for our taste. Overall a good experience and a place we plan on visiting again.
