| - Much better this time around.
The GM, Kari, sent us gift certificates after my negative review, with an apology. We gave King's a second chance on Saturday night.
This time, we were seated in the bar area, which had a lot more pleasant atmosphere (less diner-y and loud, with a view through the bar window of the Tempe Marketplace fountain). Our server, Nicole, was much more attentive and pleasant than our last server. She even brought bread out before we even ordered - yay!
The food was greatly improved as well - we didn't order the same things, but usually if a place sucks, it sucks all the way around. Boyfriend did the Captain's Platter (fried scallops and fish) and really liked it; fried without the meat being overcooked, still juicy. I did the Seafood Cobb Salad, and it was really excellent - the shrimp were so flavorful and the salad was HUGE. They did not skimp on any of the ingredients. I'd definitely get it again.
The bread pudding was... different. My other half really liked it (it's drowning in Jack Daniels sauce, of course he did) but the texture was strange to me; reminded me of French toast, it was mostly bread in sauce, not really "pudding" to me. It was very good though.
I'm glad to be able to re-write my review positively :)
