| - This King's trip was a birthday dinner for me. We had never been, reviews were ok and the menu enticing. So last night we made a reservation for 630.
Upon arrival, it is confusing because the entrance is on the north, when parking is behind. So then we went in the wrong door, into the Oyster Bar, not seeing a clear entrance. The hostess was fantastic, and we were seated right away.
Our server Steven came to take the drink order promptly, but did not return promptly. I sat there for a good 20 minutes with a super hard chunk of cold bread with warm butter...and no drink.
Our drinks were dropped, but we were not asked if we were ready to order or if we had any questions in the menu. And we wait. My pina colada was not well blended and quickly looked like the crushed ice at the bottom of your big gulp after the beverage is gone. Should have just gotten a beer or something else.
Our orders are taken. And we wait.
The cold platter arrives, which has an ample sampling of shrimp, crab and oysters with the accoutrements. The oysters were fresh and sweet. Horseradish freshly ground. I can't compare the oysters, since I've never had an oyster before. The shrimp were large and also fresh. I was not exactly elated at having to dig the intestinal tract out of most of my shrimp. I wasn't expecting to devein before I eat at a restaurant. The crab was not served with a cracker, so we tried our best on the thinner shelled legs. When we finally see Steven later, we ask for a cracker. And we wait. We finally finish in time for the entrees to arrive with perfect timing.
I have the crab cakes with asparagus. Both are tasty and are cooked well. My husband ordered the N'Awlins BBQ shrimp. The sauce was hot but not very flavorful. At least those shrimp had been deveined! There was a random piece of lemon mixed in, and my husband, thinking it a pepper or something, got a big sour surprise! The entrees went well overall. And we wait.
The hostess clears our table and my husband has been waiting for another beer for.ever. Steven returns and says "Are you all set and done or did you want dessert?". Maybe I'm crazy, but I found it a bit brash. It's not like I'm getting a free meal and someone told you I'm a crappy tipper (I'm an excellent topper, btw...I was a server once).
Dessert (yes I want it! It's my birthday!) was Strawberry Shortcake, but only since they were out of Creme Brulee. Who runs out on Thursday?? Boo. The shortcake was cold, dry and hard. Not impressed.
It is not likely that we will return to King's Fish House.
