    This was our Valentine's weekend dinner and it could not have been more SPECIAL! Not only is the decor always warm, comfortable and inviting to see (Lots of BEAUTIFUL wood!), but the Customer experience was literally, off the charts! We were pleasantly/ genuinely enthusiastically greeted by 3 different people who treated us like valued guests, NOT just a Customer and this set the tone for a wonderful dinner! Our Server had to have been exhausted from the night before, but she didn't let it show! We felt VERY PAMPERED by her! (Sorry I didn't get her name, but Med length dark hair and we sat in a booth near the lobster tank.) And THE BEST part was the food! ALWAYS incredible and worth every penny! Husband had Cioppino that had SO much FRESH, WHOLE pieces of seafood (Shells were even intact!), that he used the tasty Texan Garlic bread to clean up his plate as the Cajun-style soup TASTED LIKE NEW ORLEANS! I had VERY delicious Shrimp - and they were SO LARGE, that I brought leftovers home to enjoy at another time. WONDERFUL DINNER! Thank you, King's! We will return!

    My husband and I come here often. Most times, we sit in the bar area. Tonight, we chose the bars hightop rather than the actual bar, because we wanted to have dinner and not just appetizers. The bar is lively during its peak times, and service is good, but the staff are stretched because they often times have just two persons serving drinks and food. They're friendly enough and are happy to grab you whatever you need, but be prepared to make it known that you want to order if you're not getting fast enough service. Request a restaurant menu if you desire more than appetizers. The prices are appropriate for this type of restaurant, and the food is decent enough, but you won't find fancy plating or unusual food preparations. They do the standard seafood grilling or baked preparations with added traditional sauces. The warm and crusty sourdough bread is off the hook. The bar area is quite noisy, so choose the back dining area if you don't appreciate loud music or the bar's liveliness. For those of you who pay with a credit card, know that there's an upcharge of almost 5%. I would advise you to bring cash if that doesn't thrill you.
