| - I travel between LA and Las Vegas and a fan of King's fish house in Calabasas. 'Been in that location several times, and in the OC area as well. My first time at the District was a quick lunch with girlfriends last year and we all had Caesars salad and it was nothing special...a lot of lettuce in a big bowl but I have better dining experiences of this chain in the Calabasas location few years ago. I've tried the seafood Cobb salad (very good), soup, seafood platter, and different kinds of oysters in the past. Average food and pricey!!! you are paying for location!!! I invited a friend to join me for dinner tonight at the District. I ordered the swordfish taco, total disappointment! You find this entree under Favorites! Lol. Each component in that taco was unseasoned...not kidding! I would expect the fish grilled with some smoky flavors off the grill to give some distinctive flavor, the shredded cabbage slaw could use a hint of salt...none of that! Mayo in the slaw was generic. The only impressive attention to details is the grilled half slice of lime. Lol... Grilled lime instead of the fish! Wow!!! The line cook in charge of the swordfish must be asleep. If this is a place called fish house, at least make the fish the star of this dish. I expected a lot from the District location but aside from the lousy, ordinary food, our waiter was unforgettable in a negative way!!! He was rude, rush, insincere, entitled, never asked if we wanted dessert, coffee or more beer, he came up to our table to hand us our check. Guess what, I'm a generous, big tipper but this is the first time...ever.. I gave only 10% and drew a sad face on the merchant's receipt. I have a house full of guests every month, does King's fish house come to mind? NO not at this location, thank you!
