KingFisher Bar & Grill

Tonight was our first time to enjoy this way above average fresh seafood. We shared the oyster bar sampler, little neck clams and mussels for appetizer. Hard to say which was our favorite.
For dinner we had sea bass, Macadamia encrusted Hawaiian fish and bacon wrapped red trout. We all shared. Everything was fabulous.
Of course we saved room for dessert. Bourbon pecan tart with ice cream and lemon cello cake with blackberry sauce. Couldn't decide which was the best.
Needless to say we are already planning our next visit.

Service was very good, drinks outstanding, food was average. I am a winter visitor and always like to eat there a couple times a year. Quality and menu selections was definitely different this year. I will try again next year!

Recently signed up for Tucson Foodies and went all out at Kingfisher. We ordered Rockefeller Oysters, Hawaiian Fish, Cioppino, and a cheesecake for dessert. We really had a fun time and the food was great. Would definitely recommend everything we got!

I have a ton of small allergies and they were very accommodating. Also really liked the vibe of the place. A lot of interesting art (a painting of a lobster immediately comes to mind), a couple of pillars had a "seafaring" kind of look, and everyone there looked like they were having a good time.

Will definitely go again!

Grant is BUSY on a Friday evening! Party of 3 for 5:45 pm, unexpected occasion to dine out.

Cleanliness/Ambiance-parking SUCKED...had to go on street. Found a spot. Clean. We were seated prompted. Packed enough that staff and patrons kept bumping my chair...3 stars.

Service-helpful, attentive...ran out of drinks a little, but it was pretty good. 4 stars

Food. Idiosyncratic, but tastyl Calamari appetizer was sauced at bottom of bowl...staff did not point that out. Assembly of food was very basic and inelegant...We all enjoyed it though. Finished with the cinnamon apple gelato. Delish! 4 stars

Great food cool retro feel. Reservations recommended but we walked in and they were able to accommodate us. We arrived at 5:30 at 6:00 PM, it started to get crowded. It appears they have a very loyal following!

Great staff too!

Our friends blessed us by watching our kids so we were super excited about getting a date night. A number of people have recommended the Kingfisher so we thought we'd give it a try.

Through the Yelp app we were able to get a 5:30p reservation and the Kingfisher live sup to the hype. The staff was friendly and our server took time to explain the menu and specials to us.

We ended up ordering the tasting plate to get the greatest hits of their appetizers. I loved the grilled shrimp, my wife could have eaten a whole plate of the smoked trout. Our entrees were the cioppino and the Hawaiian fish. Both were delicious, with the seafood being cooked so well.

Who knew you could get such amazing seafood in the desert? While it's not in our budget to eat here all the time, I can see this being a great special occasion place. They even have a private dining room for private events.

Just wow! We came in on Monday night around 5:30 and sat at the bar. They had an amazing happy hour! The bartender, Beau, made awesome cocktails and offered up friendly service. I ordered the Sampler plate with the baked crab and artichoke dip. DELICIOUS! He ordered the burger and fries (also btw- if you don't like shoestring fries you can order regular fries). We ended the night with the best espresso martini in town and called it a night. Highly recommend. Will be back!

The KingFisher is one of our favorite restaurants. It's like stepping back into the 50s or 60s. The food is consistently excellent as well as the service. I believe that this is the best seafood restaurant in Tucson. They always have some non-seafood items on the menu. I imagine that they are good too, but I always enjoy the seafood dining experience.

Where do you find good seafood in Tucson? KingFisher delivers. Reservations are recommended. The stay at our table consisted of bread, baked crab and artichoke dip, sea bass, Hawaiian fish (mahi), and swordfish. Followed by cheesecake and a bourbon apple [something]. We would have shared a bite, but forgot before devouring our own dishes. We blamed the drinks, but it was because the food was delicious. Our server was delightful, as were the other staff. The atmosphere is relaxing, upscale, fun. We will be back.

The food was great, service spot on and never had a bad meal here! Next time you are in Tucson head here!

Having never been to this restaurant my expectations were high as all I've ever heard are great reviews. The ambiance was very retro, which I loved. Wait staff were great. There were a bunch of seafood options, which is what they are known for. I had their half rack of ribs which were excellent. I'll have to go back and try a seafood dish
