Lunch on a weekday was great! Somewhat less crowded, good pacing of the meat rounds. The market table is excellent, great fresh salad options and a few hot food ones too. If the feijoada isn't out you may be able to ask your server for a portion from the kitchen, which was nice to have. Oh and the cheese bread is irresistible!

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.
