I've dined at Kingfish several times over the past year and each time I've been happy with my experience. Some nights (on the weekends) it can get a bit noisy but it adds to the New Orleans-esque feel. The interiors are brightly colored with paintings of Creole country. The menu is very nicely done. Your basic steak, fish, or salad options, with a couple of creole favorites thrown in. I enjoy the Etoufee myself or the jambalaya. They have a raw bar for oysters and sushi. Although there are much better places in the Bay Area for raw oysters than Kingfish. I'm not a chocolate or dessert fan especially...but you must try the ultimate ding dong if for no other reason than to tell your waiter you want to have an ultimate ding dong. It's chocolately, desserty and even I loved it. Prices are reasonable (for the area) a little higher than most but still a good deal. The bar is well stocked and the bar tenders are knowledgeable. (They make excellent mojito's) Overall a nice place to take a date, celebrate with friends, or just to visit New Orleans in San Mateo
