| - Went here on Sunday night as that is my only available "date night" due to a grueling work schedule. Was really craving some seafood and since it had cooled down from 600 degrees down to 101, I wanted patio seating. King's Fish House it was.
Parking as usual was a pain in the ass being that it's the super trendy District and people have to walk their dogs, get coffee and be "seen".
We walked in and were greeted by a hostess who seemed to have no clue as to what her job was or how to do it. We kept asking about the patio and she was super confused. Maybe she wasn't aware that they had one??? After some effort she sat us on the patio (table 204 to be exact and I'll elaborate later on how I know that). Alex was our server and he was amaze-balls!!!! After ordering our cocktails and wine, he answered some questions and made suggestions to us, which I love about a good server. The patio was perfect, not too crowded and the people watching was stellar. Plenty of Green Valley Guys and Girls to giggle at their choice of outfit and trendy, sparkly jeans. This night did not disappoint.
Okay so our food. . . the food with the exception of some of the raw oysters, was perfect. Alex checked back appropriately and swung by the bar to grab more cocktails for us. During our dinner we had two different sets of male servers, step out on to the patio making mention of 204. Note to respective female patrons, you will never go without drinks or condiments on King's Fish House male server's watch. Very subtle guys. Anyways, Alex noticed that some of my food was left untouched, upon asking me why I just explained it didn't taste right. He immediately involved a manager and he was very contrite and offered to remove it from the bill. This is upsetting to me for the following reasons; A. Do that many people complain to get free stuff? Duh, I already know the answer to that. B. I ate almost all of it, I should be charged for it. C. I was told sorry and offered every way to make it better. That is sufficient enough for me.
Well, good old Alex and our friendly manager guy took it off our check anyways. Upon receiving the check of which, low and behold table 204 we were indeed, we saw that he removed it. We then payed the total and tipped on the full amount prior to the comp!!!!!!! Pay attention and learn something, some of you. The comp had nothing to do with service!!!!! Servers shouldn't be penalized for that, so we left a bit extra just for his personality and enjoyed our dessert and coffee and left. Thank you King's for a nice meal and an environment in which to enjoy it in.
