We had the most wonderful experience last night. We were a party of 5 & were seated in the Wine room. Ericka was our server & Brody assisted. Ericka was so friendly & accommodating. The service was outstanding. We ordered the fried shrimp 10/10 & the Calamari 10/10 as appetizers, the Filet, NY Strip Steak & the Ribeye Steak all perfectly cooked & sliced to our liking. For sides we had Boursin potatoes, Mac & cheese & the Baked potato. For dessert we shared the Peanut butter pie & the warm Vanilla cake. This is definitely our favorite restaurant & I highly recommend it!

Amazing food. Macadamia encrusted halibut was perfect, and the halibut fish and chips were the best fried fish I've ever had.

It's always a great meal and good experience at King's and last night was no exception! After some excellent craft cocktails, an Old Fashioned and a Pine Avenue, my husband had his favorite Cobb salad and I had the delicious macadamia crusted fresh halibut. Our server Ian was just great too, personable and attentive!

First time at this restaurant as we are staying in Coronado for a few weeks. My wife and I reserved a table/booth on the patio at 5pm just as the sun was setting. This was for our anniversary dinner. Shane our waiter was very nice and offered great insight into the meals on the menu. We decided to start with a couple of mocktails with a side kick. My wife had the tropical spritzer with strawberry, mango, pineapple and a side shot of coconut rum (she loved it!) I had the hibiscus spritzer and she put half of the shot of rum in mine. Very good! My wife does not have a big appetite, so we opted for the appetizer cauliflower dish and split the lobster rigatoni dish. Both dishes were amazing, and the lobster rigatoni had big chunks of lobster, not just small pieces. We both loved it, and would get the same thing again. Then Shane brought out the desert menu and we were torn between the gelato sundae in a boat and the cake and the cheesecake. My wife loves pistachio gelato, but they did not have that. We asked Shane his recommendation, and he said cheesecake first, or the sundae, but if were really wanted pistachio gelato, the shop down from them, (Sundae's) had a large selection of gelato. We decided to go there and although they didn't have pistachio gelato, they did have a Dubai Chocolate with pistachios in it. We both got this in a cone and it was very delicious. We would definitely revisit Serea again for a special occasion and probably get the same thing again. It was that good. And thank you Shane for being such a great host/waiter and being completely honest about his recommendations. This was a great dinner/evening out for our anniversary dinner!

    We had the Endless Shrimp it's my husband's favorite he waits for it every year. I can't eat anything spicy and to my disappointment 2 of the 6 choices are spicy. The coconut and the old bay. Neither of us like the new garlic bread. That left only 3 choices for me Walts, garlic scampi and the pasta. They were delicious as always!

    My daughter, granddaughter, and I thoroughly enjoyed Red Lobster. I was amazed that we could get a table so easily on a Friday night (we actually had a later reservation). The waitress, Sabrina, was very attentive, friendly, and hospitable. The food was excellent, and came in a nice sized portion. Prices were within reason for the area, and it was well worth the stop.
