on Citysearch May 07, 2009Decent place to go once a year, but food not good enough to make me a regular. It is close to the movie theater though, so a good option for before/after the movies. (more)

on Citysearch Jun 10, 2007Although the food was average - the customer service received from the manager/ owner was just bottom line RUDE. My family and I were dining and I wanted to change my 1.5 year old son's soiled diaper. There was not... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 20, 2007My roommate and I went this past saturday night. No tables were available, so we went up to the second floor and sat at the bar. It took about 10 minutes to even get the bartenders attention. Once our drinks were done, we... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 05, 2006Since new owners have taken over Kingfish, it's not the same consistent, good experience it once was. They've removed/changed signature dishes that are not close to being as good as they once were--the signature... (more)

on Judys Book Sep 19, 2006Kingfish serves Cajun/Creole cuisine with a mix of seafood and steaks. Unfortunately I found the food to be expensive for what it was, and unmemorable. The restaurant somehow has a chain-restaurant feel to it to me.... (more)

on Judys Book Jun 09, 2006I went here once and was unimpressed. The food was bad and expensive. I had the beignets which you would think would be their signature dessert, and they were awful. Cafe du Monde they are not! I'd much rather have a... (more)

on Citysearch May 29, 2006No place can even compare to Kingfish on the peninsula. It is the ultimate pro & fun restaurant! My husband and I are regular "city" diners are were shocked when we were down in San Mateo visiting friends to see such a... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 23, 2006If you like going out to eat and trying new things, go somewhere else. Had a few friends with us. The owners need to take a class on owning it seems. All the chef's were arguing with each other. The server had to keep... (more)
