Kingfish Grill - A Great Spot for Fresh Seafood & Sushi! This was my second visit to Kingfish Grill, and once again, I left impressed. Their Happy Hour is a great way to sample a variety of dishes, and there was plenty to keep our taste buds happy. We enjoyed Chef Austin's fresh sushi rolls, dumplings, fried goat cheese, spinach and artichoke dip, and jalapeno yellowtail spoons. The sushi was fresh and beautifully prepared, while the jalapeno yellowtail spoons had a nice combination of flavor and a little kick. The fried goat cheese was another favorite--crispy on the outside with that creamy, tangy goat cheese inside. Everything we tried was flavorful, fresh, and nicely presented. I especially appreciate a restaurant that focuses on quality ingredients while still bringing creativity to the menu. The refreshing drinks paired perfectly with the food and made for a fun and relaxing Happy Hour. Located in the Cobblestone Shopping Plaza off 312, just minutes from historic downtown St. Augustine, Kingfish Grill is definitely worth checking out. After two visits, I can see why this is a place worth coming back to. If you're a seafood and sushi lover--or simply enjoy good food made with fresh ingredients--put Kingfish Grill on your list! read more

I've been a patron of Kingfish from their lovely location by the water. This time we decided to try Sunday brunch. There's plenty of parking here, better than the last location. When we walked in there was a harpsichord player which was a nice touch. I'm not sure who decorated the place but it needs some zhuzhing up. A few plants even. It looks very generic like it could be a diner or anything. All 4 in our party agreed. There is a small sushi bar in the back with the same sushi chef as in the old place . A nice big bar as well. We were seated in a booth at my request. Our server was super friendly & told us there are just so many special to get through every day. I think this restaurant is trying to make a go of it and hasn't really found its direction. I heard Monday nights are excellent and get a nice crowd with trivia. This was our 1st time at their new location. While this location doesn't have the water view the food is still very good. During brunch, they had two for one drink specials and we took advantage of the bloody Mary's. They were excellent with a nice big stalk of celery and a nice plump green olive. Our group order the fish dip appetizer. Dip itself was very good and had a nice smoky flavor & came with some capers and some other accoutrements on the plate. Next we shared a type of tuna nacho. The chips were plentiful & were light and fluffy but the whole plate was skimpy with toppings especially the tuna. It wasn't even enough for three out of the four of us to get any tuna on the chips. It also needed a way more ponzu sauce. It was meh overall. My friend had the seafood soup and said it was excellent. Another had crab cakes and enjoyed them. My husband had eggs over grits with bacon. He gave it a thumbs up. Pro tip: The restaurant advertises locally so look around for a coupon. And they have different specials different nights so you can always call and ask or look on their website. I hope they can make a go of it here. If you're looking for good seafood and sushi give it a try. read more

Shoutout to our local community heroes!! This venue was a second location for an amazing restaurant that was closer to the ocean, but now thankfully here closer to me. I loved the history shares with me by manager Donna. She was so very friendly, personable, and enlightening. Not only is this venue a legend, but also smart to have kept Donna on board for @10 years of Faithful service. read more

My husband and I have been hosting trivia here for a little over a month and we couldn't be happier. The management and employees are so friendly and welcoming to us.

Of course we would love for you to come out on a Monday night and join us for some free trivia and enjoy a scrumptious meal, however if you can't please go to Kingfish and have a wonderful meal! read more

This popular area restaurant moved in to the former home of Black Molly Grill in the Cobblestone shopping center on 312. The interior is completely redone and feels more open and bright. This was my first visit to this eatery at any location and I had the catch of the day, which was flounder, grilled in a spicy Thai chili glaze. My companions had the chicken piccata sautéed in XVOO garlic and the half rack of St. Louis ribs. Everything was excellent and our server Brantley was prompt and helpful. We'll be coming back. read more

The good and the service was great; our waitress was Alison who ensured we were cared for. The environment was clean and conducive for enjoying our meal/drinks. Truly enjoyed the experience. read more

My wife and I had dinner this evening. My wife went with her "go to" meal which was the seafood platter grilled. I went with the specials, I had the seafood jambalaya soup as a starter and the seafood stuffed flounder which was stuffed with shrimp, scallops and crab and topped with a sun-dried tomato cream sauce. Both of our meals were delicious. Kudos to the kitchen staff for a wonderful meal. Our experience was enhanced by our server Brandy. She was very attentive and pleasant. Highly recommend to any and all! Lindsay and Linda Johnson read more

Tried Kingfish visiting St Augustine. Brandy was a friendly server. Joe was friendly as well. The food was just ok. We split a Thai salad which we enjoyed. Crab cakes left a lot to be desired. Horseradish crusted Mahi lacked flavor. My wife's pasta sauce was really wet almost watery. read more

I wanted to love this local place but after a third try... just can't. I gave it a fair try. Food is average at best and it is loud inside. Service was excellent though. read more

The staff is great the food so so I live local but will not go back You wait to long for your food and the food is not worth it read more

First time here and came here for my birthday. Allison was our waitress and did she ever deliver! She killed it all night and made the night even more fun. Everyone was friendly and the food was amazing! We had a very enjoyable night! She's just an awesome person and made it an enjoyable experience read more

Services and food was delicious,our server was on it and very good at.what he does. Our dinner was well cooked to perfection, My parents love this place.

Great food. Had both lunch and dinner over the past few weeks. Penne pasta Ala Vodka was very rich, and could have had less sauce. But that's what the toasted bread is for. Inexpensive wine. Could add a few upper end wines. Samson the waiter is deeply experienced and made good recommendations. Super renovation to the interior. read more

Atmosphere zero. Table beside us and table behind us had people literally yelling at one another. Large open room with nothing to dampen the noise. We ended up asking that our food be packaged to go. The food was OK but the experience was terrible. We had a wonderful server but we will not go back. $100 for a take out meal that was just OK. read more

Best sushi ever! My husband and I love sitting up at the bar - Justin is awesome great bartender. Can't go wrong with any of the seafood specials either. read more

The place is not only closed, it's has been torn down!! Looks like the Marina needed the land more than the restaurant did!

Disappointed, tried to get a drink, bar was full, asked to sit at one of the 4 open high tops , host said no. Tried to spend $ here and they didn't want it Left and spent my money elsewhere read more

We had a wonderful dinner with friends and Allison was our waitress. She was wonderful. We will definitely be back. We highly recommend the fish sandwich and the sushi!!! read more

My experience at this new establishment has been nothing but perfect service, got blackened shrimp (was fresh and not fishy at all). The bartender Sarah is so pleasant. This is a very good place to take your family, a date, or a couple that needs a good meal and a pleasant evening or afternoon. Very enjoyable read more

it was horrible. We had a coupon for $25 off of $75, we were excited to get some fresh fish. Gator tail appetizer, unrecognizable to us, both texture and taste. we ordered swordfish. It had a strange smell. I sent mine back. My husband didn't eat his either. They took mine off the bill and gave $25 credit. read more

Visiting St Augustine and with two separate recommendations for Kingfish Grill, we decided to try it out for dinner. First, plenty of parking! Inside we saw it was clean and new...great design. We sat at the bar and met, Geo, our bartender. As we arrived early, 5:00 pm, he had time to connect with us ... this is why we like sitting at the bar! His drinks were excellent! For appetizers, we ordered (1) calamari which was perfectly cooked (not rubbery) and had a delicious sweet and slightly hot sauce; (2) pork dumplings..perfect and (3) 6 oysters on the half shell ..very fresh and tasty! We were filling up fast but still had room for two sushi rolls which, again, were delicious! Just looking at the dessert menu filled us up! Another thumbs up to the manager who stopped by to check in and speak with us for about 5 minutes! If we lived in St Augustine, Kingfish Grill would certainly be a regular hangout! Great food, service and friendly staff. Perfect! A++ read more

Great service. All the staff was friendly and went above and beyond. Food was very good

This was our 2nd visit to the new location. The food was outstanding as was the service. I had the Louisiana Fettuccini and my wife had the horseradish crusted Mahi. Highly recommend! read more

My wife and I decided to spend our 49th anniversary at one of the local establishments. It took us a while to decide because there are so many exceptional restaurants in St. Augustine. We finally opted for the Kingfish grill in its new location. It was a great choice. The interior has been completely redone from the Black Molly setup, and it is more spacious and a little less noisy. The food was superb and Dayna our server was the best. For a local establishment it ranks right up there with the Black Molly, the Black Fly, Neds, Schooners, Fish and Oyster House and the Grouper shack. Definitely a place for locals to check out and enjoy. read more

Our rating would have been higher apart from this incident. We ordered a glass of wine which was delivered and the cost was added to our bill along with the cost of a whole additional bottle adding some $33 to our total which we had not ordered. Pointed out to server who commented "Oh my mistake!". No apology or comp to bill. Will think twice about going again. Moral CHECK YOUR BILL CAREFULLY! read more

Fish was outstanding, bartender/service was great and not noisy at all. Great atmosphere. Will be back soon.

Wanted to love the Happy Hour experience but were disappointed. Appetizers @ $10 each were tasty but too small a portion to satisfy. Did not offer 2 for 1 happy hour drinks. Black Molly's far exceeds in this aspect - people want to feel a value impact. Because of this, it did not have a happy hour "vibe" - it was half empty at 4:30 pm. I think with better portions and pricing during Happy Hour it would draw more people in. My brother had an incredible entree but not everyone wants that. I wish them every success because it's beautiful inside and with some tweaks could be packed everyday. Will not return. read more

This restaurant is amazing with delicious food that was so good that when my sister visited for my daughter's graduation we ate dinner there two nights in a row - everyone loved it that much! We met the Owner/Manager who told us he had recently moved the location from near the Ocean to 504 West Geoffrey Street, Saint Augustine in the Cobblestone shopping center. We had not been to the other location, but we loved this location - because it is easy to get to and parking is free and plentiful. The Owner/Manager, Paul, was the nicest guy who took the time to speak with us. The first night we had the perfect waiter (Micheal) who should probably teach a class on the most exceptional friendly service possible - Micheal's attention and attitude was simply wonderful. We so very highly recommend this beautiful restaurant with delightful ambiance and all of us thought the food was impressive, well prepared and perfect in every way. read more

have been going to Kingfish Grill the food is great and Alison our waitress is fantastic but last night when we received our bill they added a service charge $5.50 for using a credit card. Surprised no mention anywhere of this added charge. read more

First time at the new location. Great service, and same great food as always. Reminder, their sushi is LEGIT. Whole menu is strong. Enjoy! read more

Absolutely love this place. I am so glad Kingfish moved to a more accessible location for most of us living or staying in St Augustine. They took over the space that Black Molly was in previously. The new Black Molly space is loud and the tables are packed together. It is hard to enjoy dinner when you cannot hear the people you are dining with at Black Molly so the new Kingfish Grill has been a welcomed addition to the area for anyone looking for a great dining experience. The Kingfish renovation is modern and tasteful. Plenty of parking. The food is great - fresh seafood, tasty specials and amazing sushi. I encourage all locals and visitors try this place. It is in our family's regular rotation of restaurants. read more

Food and service were excellent and not expensive. Prompt and reasonable. Plenty of parking.

Think they did a very nice job redoing this restaurant. It's very open but still has a nice vibe. The service was excellent. We all enjoyed the food. read more

1st time at the new location. It looks great, muted UF colors. The food was good and Racheal our waitress had a good energy and spirit. We will go again. read more

Food: Absolutely delicious, wide selection of fresh seafood from crab cakes, mussels and tuna sushi nachos (in house fresh chips) to an amazing seafood chowder (mildly spicy and creamy). A delightful holiday adult beverage menu includes 'White Christmas." Alison pampered us on our first visit to their newly transformed venue (former location of Black Molly) near BEALS department store. The new decor is upscale immaculate with ample seating at a well-stocked bar. Seating is disability-friendly ( I parked my Rollator next to the Christmas tree. On our second visit both Joe (friendly manager who knows Kingfish Grill) and Alex were helpful describing specials, mains, and the dessert menu. My DC and I sampled the flourless chocolate cake on our first visit and crème brullee on our second. Both were wonderful! My DC had the grilled scallop, shrimp and mahi combo,, which he enjoyed. I ha sea scallops with sautéed spinach. Choices of sides is a plus (one is red beans and rice. A real holiday gift certificate deal includes $ gift certificates. Be sure to treat yourself or others who enjoy up-class dining. Merry Christmas! read more

Kingfish Grill is located in the Cobblestone Shopping Center, where Black Molly had previously been. The building was beautifully renovated with a spacious, uncrowded look. My Husband ordered a pasta dish that was heavy on the pasta, which was a good thing because everyone else needed some of his pasta, which he said was weak in the taste of the sauce, to add to their dishes. I had read a review raving about the Chicken Picatta and was about to order it, though I wasn't very hungry, so two of us shared it. Not big enough to share, but very tasty. One of us had Sushi and found it too HOT to eat. The waiter was very good, but the long wait between courses could only be attributed to a problem in the kitchen. There was even a wait for dessert, which was preplated. The cocktail from the bar was also disappointing. I asked for an Old Fashioned to be made with Bourbon. It also fell flat. I would like to say I'll give them a second try, but I'll wait and see some reviews after mine. read more
