    Wonderful Lobster & Filet dinner; inventive, delicious drinks; a few perfect desserts of buttermilk creme brûlée and something chocolate and angel-like — all with marvelous service overseen by friendly management in a very comfortable, spacious, yet still intimate, setting? Yes. That’s what we found here. We’ll be back. Soon.

    We had a great time celebrating our 28th anniversary with the great folks @ Kingfish. Lucy was a great server, so helpful all night. Chris the GM was knowledgeable about wine, bourbon & everything related to the restaurant business. Our drinks were impeccable! We had their dirty martini & an EH Taylor flight. The Lobster & Land Trio for $49 I had with lobster bisque & double lobster tails was phenomenal. My wife loved her Newburgh Scallops with brussel sprouts. To finish our anniversary dining experience Lucy brought us a complementary crème brûlée. We look forward to going back soon!

    Kingfish is one of two of our favorite local upscale FRESH seafood establishments. The other, not surprisingly, is their sister in downtown Cleveland. Although on the upper price scale, the food and experience was fabulous. My wife and I will be going back and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to friends and family. BRAVO!

We are equally grateful for your recognition of our culinary team’s efforts. We look forward to welcoming you and your wife back to Kingfish Seafood for another exceptional dining experience in the near future. Bravo indeed!
