Review The Kingfish - Newcastle

Me and my partner had little celebration in your place few moths ago and I just realized that I forgot to review it as I promised. We had very good time. Your staff was attentive, decent and very friendly. From reservation to choosing dinner and having nice, romantic environment it was great to be out again. Having been working in the industry for many years I value determination and professionalism of your business and I will be back some day again. I also met Garry, owner of this place who was polite and welcoming. Great dude, great restaurant.

First time here and we loved it. We were served by Jackson and throughout the time there he checked up on us to see how everything was. We didn’t wait long at all for the cold and fried seafood platters we ordered. The amount of food were very generous. The cost of the meals were in the high end however service, location and quality does make up for it. Finished of with gelato that they had which was also delicious. Would recommend to others for seafood places to eat in Newcastle.

Great place for the seafood platter experience. We had the grilled platter and it was generous, tasty and with lots of variety. What really made it special is the wonderful service provided by the staff. Nothing was too much trouble for them. They even accommodated my wife's dietary requirements. Kudos to Ethan for professional and friendly service from the first time we met him.

Great seafood and sauces that goes along. The cold prawns were especially fresh and flavourful. Comes with a mountain of chips that are cooked decently right - you need to skip brekkie and lunch to be able to finish the chips. Slightly disappointed with the crab which was a little tasteless but otherwise all was good and friendly service

Where do I even start? Let's talk about the actually restaurant, it seems nice at first glance but I quickly noticed that lights flicker ever so slightly, at one point the light actually went out. The staff were nice but bad at multitasking, they did double check our vaccinations which was good. We got seated with menus and after around 5 minutes our order was taken. We decided on a grilled sea food platter for 6 ($174), after the first 30 minutes we didn't think much about the food but once it had been almost and hour our food still wasn't ready. Finally the food came out... some parts were unintentionally cold and others barely hot, the chips were soggy, the range of food was lacking, the octopus was rubbery and for that much money there certainly wasn't enough quantity to make up for the lack of quality. Apart for the absurd pricing and overrated food I also noticed when ordering that apart from sea food there are only two options. Haloumi burger and chicken schnitzel, which is obviously a bad thing if you are vegan or have little kids. Tonight could have been a one off because others have had good food here but if you can't handle having your restaurant full then you should downsize or have some kind of method to help the servers remember to check tables/help the cooks with time management. Overall not a great experience for me. That being said it could have been a one off.

Food 3/5 Service 4/5 The grilled fish were good although not seasoned evenly. The chilli & garlic prawns were really tasty. Chips were one of the best, but the mediterranean vegs was awful and feel like at least a week old. The presentation was ordinary.

The service, view, food and drinks were all amazing! Try the Grilled Seafood Platter - it was delicious. And for your cocktail have the Blackberry Amaretto Sour! Yum!

Went to Kingfish for my bday - such a great venue. Seafood platters are the best and such good value for a group. We had the mixed and cold platter between 4 on recommendation from the team and it was perfect! Beautiful rosé, beautiful cocktails! We’ll definitely be back, thanks team!
