| - Wanted so badly to love King's but our meal was horrendous. Grilled artichoke app and salads (one field greens, one caesar) were ok, nothing special. The sourdough everyone raves about was wet-centered and doughy. Worst of all, the seared ahi was so riddled with muscle and sinew that I could not even eat it. Dunked two small bites into the bland ponzu sauce and that was the end of it. We boxed it up to bring home to our dog, but not sure even he will want it? It was that bad. I have never had ahi striped through and through with muscle and sinew, just unpalatable all the way around. Husby had the cioppino, did not care for the seafood nor the broth; too bland and watery. Sorry King's but you need to up your ahi game or take it off the menu. Rotten Mother's Day meal ugh.

Edited 10 days following initial visit and one star rating post:
Heard from GM Rodney yesterday, who apologized for our poor dining experience and agreed, that cut of ahi never should've made it to our table filleted. Normally, he explained, the muscly cuts are dissected in prep kitchen and the muscle removed, leaving the tender bits to be served as pokè. Rodney offered out a gift certificate so we can try King's again, this was kind, gracious and very much appreciated! Will have another go then and pray for a fab meal. Thank you King's Fish House for listening and responding to our concerns....have added two stars to my original review and will re evaluate 3 stars on our next visit;)
