Kingfish serves Cajun/Creole cuisine with a mix of seafood and steaks. Unfortunately I found the food to be expensive for what it was, and unmemorable. The restaurant somehow has a chain-restaurant feel to it to me. I did enjoy the appetizers we had, including calamari, and an impressively large platter of oysters, which were delicious. Large portions and good selection of mixed drinks too.

I went here once and was unimpressed. The food was bad and expensive. I had the beignets which you would think would be their signature dessert, and they were awful. Cafe du Monde they are not! I'd much rather have a donut anyday than the beignets here. The service was unspectacular. I can't speak to the drinking (which they advertise highly) since I don't really drink, but there are probably nicer bars out there if that's your goal.

This is definitely upscale. It's loud but fun! My brother went to school at Tulane in N'Awlins, so I remember the Louisiana cuisine. Let's start with dessert - my favorite! How to choose, how to choose? Go with lots of friends and have a little of everything. I've had a bite of the bread pudding, the beignet, the creme brulee. Yum, yum, yum. The menu is relatively big which is good, because invariably in the Bay Area, you've got a vegetarian in the mix, but the non-animal choices are limited. I think what they have for vegetarians is probably good, but just doesn't jump out and inspire me. Lucky for me, I'm a carnivore and I have had the fabulous skirt steak. Gotta cap the night with a hurricane! Fun night out, convenient to Cal Train!
