Kingfish New Orleans

Overpriced for what you get. I was so excited for this place but I would most definitely go somewhere else. Service was fine, waiter was very friendly. Advised against something on the menu, forget what it was. New Orleans Barbecued Scallop Fettuccine (BLACKENED SCALLOPS, SPICY NEW ORLEANS BBQ BUTTER SAUCE) really lacked flavor. Scallops were good but for the price I'd expect more than 3. Desperately needed Parmesan or seasoning. Grilled Shrimp Caesar (GRATED PARMIGIANO, CROUTONS, ROMAINE, CAESAR DRESSING) Best thing we ordered. Blackened Hook Line Louisiana Gulf Fish (NOLA STYLE BBQ BUTTER, TWICE BAKED POTATO, SEASONAL VEGETABLE) this was such a small portion. The veggies tasted like ones from a can. The fish was hard and burnt on the bottom. I also think the skin was still on the fish which is not something I prefer. Cafe Rum Tini (CRUZAN BLACK RUM, BAILEYS, KAHLUA, AND COLD BREW) not very good. Blueberry Hill (REYKA VODKA, LEMON, SUGAR BLUEBERRIES) decent.

This was one of the highlight meals of the trip for me. It was super close to our hotel and one of the only places taking reservations on Mardi Gras night. We were seated a few mins after our reservation time, and our server was friendly and helpful navigating the menu. The restaurant is divided into a couple of long rooms and seats more people than it originally appears it would. The food we had was really great. They had several gf options for me, which was appreciated. I took the server's recommendation and got the gulf fish with a delicious BBQ butter. The husband loved his BBQ poboy, and my friend said the gumbo was one of the best he'd had. Portions were good-sized, so we didn't make it to dessert or sample the appetizers, unfortunately. Great spot with excellent options and love that they were open on Mardi Gras when everyone was in dire need of food to soak up the alcohol.

Well, we had a late lunch, but it was so much food, we did not eat dinner. We had a lovely lunch that overlapped with the early happy hour so we enjoyed that too $6 cava for me and bottomless **** Marys for my friend. Oh, she could not finish her last drink and got a take out cup to continue enjoying as we walked, The service was great, very friendly. On a good corner for people watching. I had the brunch burger with fries. It is loaded with a chicken sausage patty, nice think beef burger, fried egg and more. Delicious. My friend had the cobb salad, it was huge. We enjoyed.

Went for happy hour and had a great time. We had the pork skin nachos and they were delicious. We also had the crawfish bread, boudin balls and crab cake. All of those were great. My drink was strong and full of flavor. Our server was friendly and checked on us several times. I didn't know how big the restaurant was until they walk us down the sidewalk to another entrance. This dining room was decorated nicely and is a great place to have dinner with a special person. I will visit again on my next trip to New Orleans.

Had higher hopes for this place based on reviews. Service was ok, server said he was newer to the restaurant. Our cocktails were good but more than half was ice! Food was average. The chicken was definitely good and hot (temp wise) however the rice and beans it was over was room temp. We went for our first dinner in town but maybe brunch next time.
