Established in 2007, King’s Fish House is Tempe’s choice for seafood. Located at The District, King’s Fish House features a large selection of fresh oysters, seasonal catches, sushi and live shellfish, including lobster and crab, on a menu that changes daily.We’ve been in restaurants a little while – three generations, to be precise. A long time ago, we embarked on a road trip in search of the ultimate seafood experience. We traveled down highways and byways, pulled up a seat, put on bibs and soaked up the seafood experience: the no-name dishes with unforgettable flavor, the fresh-caught oysters and clams piled high, the hand-lettered specials on ancient chalkboards and the savory simmer of every combination of spices imaginable.Welcome to the House that Seafood Built.Come gather with us, celebrate, relax and enjoy a seafood dining experience of high quality, comfort, service and value.

We absolutely love the theme dinners. The staff really get in to it and make the dining room shine! The chef and kitchen staff also seem to really enjoy introducing the menu items per course. Thr food and drink are always delicious. The valet people are also wonderfully patient and helpful when we have trouble with the app. Thank you all for making these nights out so special. Cheers!

The bar Blitzen theme for the holidays is the cutest sand so much fun. Service was great and food was good. Kinda silly to charge $6 to be there when drink prices are already pricey along with expensive food. It was a fun one time outing for the hokidays

Have not been to the Desert Botanical Garden for awhile but always try to enjoy a meal or at least a drink and snack at Gertrude's. They have expanded the menu, which was needed for those who frequent the restaurant. I had the Lamb Mole Enchiladas, which looked as fabulous as they tasted. The mole was perfect with a deep, savory chocolate sauce. My friend had the Lentil Chop that was beautifully plated with varying textures, very lightly dressed. The wait staff is experienced and gracious. We were fortunate to have a server who has been with the cafe since it opened. Book well in advance. Everyone loves this place.
