| - It's that time of year.... time to figure out what overly priced restaurant to pick out for my office holiday party. Hey, the boss is buyin' not me. :-)
We settled on King's Fish House, and I am glad we did.
We had a reservation for 6pm for 8 people, figuring we would show up early and get our much needed drink on at the bar. They were very slow when we arrived so we has the bar to ourselves. ***Incoming - Reason for the 5 starts*** The bar chairs are the best! Big, cushy and have backs, AND they have hooks under the bar top for my bad. Honestly, this is such a small touch, but some places fail so miserably at these two key elements that I never go back. Seriously though, if you are in the market for a bar with awesome bar seats, you have to go here! It's genius! If your seats suck I wont stay as long, if they are nice I wont want to move, duh!
Back to the matter at hand, we had a drink then sat down for dinner, Chris was our server and we were very pleased with him. *high five to Chris* He went thought the menu very well and explained everything we were unsure about. We started off with a handful of appetizers, a few oyster shooters, the combo plate with calamari and shrimp and crab cakes, and some salads. The shooters were shooters, decent quality, can't really screw them up. The fried stuff was good, but nothing to gloat about. Their ramoulade sauce was awesome though! Even ordered an extra side to go with my dinner. The salads looked ehh underwhelming. The Danish Blue that I got was ok, the highlight was the huge slice of blue cheese it came with, the rest was an after thought.
Everyone got something different for the entrees and I am pretty sure everyone was happy because the chatter was to a minimum while we stuffer our faces. I got the Grilled Salmon with mac'n'cheese and grilled zucchini, excellent all around!
We topped off the nigh with some Creme Brulee..... not too bad. I prefer it thinner then they serve it but I was still in creme heaven.
We were all very happy, great place!
Enjoy if you make it in!
