    This is a great restaurant. From the moment we walked in and were greeted with very kind friendly people to the awesome waiter, the delicious food and the beautiful view. We came when it was already dark and wish we would have come a bit earlier to see it during the day! My husband and I split the halibut and wasn’t sure when we first looked at it. It was in a lot of red sauce but the first bite was so so good and I’m so glad we got that fish! All the other meals looked great too. We came with a large group, needing two tables and they worked very hard to put us right together. I would definitely come again!

    Absolutely wonderful experience. Incredibly, I booked the table too late in the evening and we missed the sunset. The staff is just lovely and the portions were extremely generous and I was surprised. I’m very particular about cocktails and I would say this was a nine out of 10, Definitely Craft.

    We have been going to King's Fish House for years and it is consistently good. The artichoke appetizer and the butter cake are outstanding. The fish is always fresh. My favorite dish is the macadamia crusted halibut, so good. Our server on Christmas Eve was Sean. She was excellent in every way and made our whole experience enjoyable. We will continue to come back to this restaurant.
