   Dining on New Years Eve, we were seated on time in the heated patio to enjoy a tasty dinner starting with calamari, then onto the Petrale sole and crab cioppino. Food was fresh and excellent. Service was very good.

   Once again, KFH, fell a little short. First, the bartender could do with a slightly cheerier disposition. Our server was very nice but hard to understand through the mask. We were served our main before the appetizer and that messed things up. The pace of our special night out was now off. The mistake didn’t make me feel good about the level of service we received or the impression to my companion. The King’s Albacore Roll was great though. The mashed potatoes were salty- we both agreed. The manager comped the appetizer and dessert without any prompting, so that was very nice. I’ll still come back but I’m really hoping for better, personalized service overall. I don’t want to feel like we’re just being pushed through. This is a great restaurant and the processes, training, and quality should be great too.

   I appreciated the booth by the outside window near the bar!! Service was great, just wish our bar drinks would come faster, over 15-20 minutes for both orders. Food was great as always! Thx for making our New Years Eve early dinner Great!!

   Dinner at 7:30pm n the restaurant closes at 10pm. The server said we’re out of breads, and there was no compensation whatsoever. Sucks!

   I thoroughly enjoy everything about King’s Fish House — except for the welcome by the hostess/host. The greeting is never welcoming or with a smile - ever. It’s a good thing the food, beverage, and service finish off the evening on a nice note.

   Great experience. Service staff could use training on wine menu. Order got mixed up abit regarding pinot noir by the glass. I was served pinot grigio instead. A different server/BT came by and said he had a white pinot noir and a red pinot noir. There is no such wine as a white variation to my knowledge. Our server did a good job, as she had a long distance to reach tables in her station. Miso Sea Bass was excellent 👌

   Fantastic menu with well-prepared seafood. Excellent sauces. The patio was a bit chilly in December but overall a great experience.

   The host and our waitress was great but the person who brought us to our table couldn’t have been more rude. She literally threw the utensils and chair (table was missing one) at us and gave us the nastiest look. She was clearly having a bad day. Everyone else was friendly and the food was awesome.

    San Jose's Kings Fish House is one of the best fish restaurants in the Bay Area with an excellent selection of fish served in generous purportions and warm welcoming servers. We started our meal with a delicious beet salad...one of the best I've eaten. The petrale sole and sea bass were cooked to perfection and come with a selection of two side dishes. This is truly a fine dining experience in a feel of eating at a coastside restaurant.
