First visit for our anniversary in a Tuesday. The waiter was very energetic. He was very detailed about the bourbon. I don't know if it was intentional but the soup and drink were slow to arrive at the table. I had the hotty toddy (not my fav) and lobster bisque soup. He had the presidential flight and a wedge salad. The food was perfect I had the kingfish trio and he had the Delmonico. They gave us a complimentary creme brulee for dessert. So together this was about 200 for 2 people with drinks.

This was our second visit. We took my mom for mother's day. Although the service was pretty slow, the server was very friendly and the manager as well. Everything we ordered was thoroughly enjoyed. Of particular note is the wedge Caesar salad which may be the best one I have ever had. We'd gone to Capital Grille the week before and it was a very happy surprise that the steak at Kingfish was MUCH better, I would have never expected that from a seafood restaurant. We highly recommend Kingfish!

My family and I came here for the first time without an reservation and we got right in. The service was outstanding! The calamari was probably the best I’ve ever had. My salmon with mashed potatoes was even better. My stepson had the swordfish and he really enjoyed it. My fiance had the surf-n-turf and he was amazed with the way everything tasted. We were very pleased with everything. The atmosphere there was perfect with a little bit of moody in the air! We’ll definitely be returning. Worth the price!

From start to finish our dinner was spectacular! The service was wonderful - we were seated right on time for our reservation, we always had people filling our water glasses, and the manager checked on our table at the end of the meal. Lucy, our server, was excellent. She was present and knew the menu well. The cocktails were spot on. 3 of us dined and had nothing but rave reviews for the food. From the sourdough bread basket to our dessert, everything was a 10/10. The Maryland crab cakes were actual crab, and not full of filling - one of the best I’ve had in an inland state! The star of the show was the brulee cheesecake - done perfectly! We celebrated a birthday and they brought out a complimentary creme brulee which was delicious. This is my first time ever leaving a restaurant review because it was just that good. 100/10 recommend for any special occasion! From the pics, you can see that the brulee cheesecake was gone before we remembered a picture! The lobster mashed potatoes were perfect and tasted almost like a lobster bisque in potato form. Perfect!!

For family birthday celebrations, we celebrate at the restaurant the birthday person chooses. This was our first celebration at Kingfish. We have one family member that does not like seafood. What an amazing choice. We had a private room, fantastic meal and flawless serve. Everyone raved about their meal. We could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you all for making this evening memorable.

We dine regularly at Kingfish and the food is always great, it never disappoints. Tonight was no exception and what really made it stand out was our server, Riley. She was friendly, attentive, and just made the whole evening feel even more enjoyable. It’s those little touches that turn a good dinner into a really nice night out.
