"We had the Atlantic Char, which was excellent. All appetizers were very good, especially the smoked trout. Table was simply too small for four people. We had to hold elbows in tight, etc. They did a good job keeping plates cleared but that wasn't enough. At $280 for 4 (with tip), that's not acceptable. For 2 or with a bigger table for 4, this wouldn't be an issue."

"Celebrated Mother's Day on Saturday; good decision because it was quiet, with just a few customers. I had the dinner special, a Char fish, which is similar to Salmon in appearance, but much milder and tasty. It was fall-off-the fork tender, with lots of butter flavoring. My wife opted for the Macadamia Nut Crusted Hawaiian Fish dinner, which she enjoyed equally as well as I did. The waiter was very attentive and aiming to please. All in all, a great evening, and will certainly be returning in the near future."

"Four of us went to Kingfisher to celebrate my husband's birthday. We all ordered fish - 2 ordered sea bass, 1 ordered flounder on a cedar plank, and I ordered my favorite, macadamia encrusted Hawaiian fish (mahi-mahi this time). Everything was superb! And we got a free dessert to share in honor of the birthday boy."

"We always find eating dinner at Kingfisher to be a treat. Good and friendly service, great seafood, great bar. There is a private room available for groups. My personal favorite is the Macadamia nut Hawaiian fish - always tender, with browned butter chopped macadamia nuts. They do change what type of fish is served in this dish, so always ask what is being used that day. My favorite is Escolar! Very moist and tender and sweet! I would have given the food five stars but the spinach salad, which is usually really good, was served with a vinagrette dressing that was way to heavy on the vinegar that night. Clam chowder is yummy and authentic, raw oysters are really good. Relaxing and delicious, just what we like!"

"The furniture was dated..plus old...the seat bottom of mt chair was terrible..had to change it out.
We were seated at a table instead of a booth -I wonder if it was because we were not regulars?
The main course arrived 1 hour after we sat down...the reason..well done steaks.
The medium-well ordered steak was not only well done, but was chared on all sides.
The lighting at our table was so poor that we could not tell the fat of the steak to cut out.
The Mahi-Mahi was good..
I never anwser these surveys...but had to this time.."

"My husband and I dine out regularly but at high-end locations rarely or for special occasions, chose Kingfisher for husband's birthday. Dined there before but it had been a long time since. Have to say not as impressed this time as on our previous visit. Sea bass was actually crispy, at both of the small ends and along edges, which was not good, and although the description of the dish sounded excellent, the flavors did not make it together. Presentation looked nice at first but piled up, stacking of the different components also didn't like. The crema was a thick blob on top, should have been a thinner consistency or more sauce-like. The fish on special was very bland. Overall and costwise we were disappointed."

"We visited the Kingfisher Bar & Grill while we were in Tuscon for the weekend. It was located in a residential"ish" neighborhood in an older part of Tuscon. I was nervous about the surrounding neighborhood, but the food was worth it. Everyone in our party had seafood and it was outstanding! Great service, everyone was friendly and attentive. Would visit again if I was going to Tuscon."

"Took a girl out to try this place out last week and absolutely loved it. I will admit, I don't like spending crazy amounts of money on going out to dinner, but this was the one occasion I actually thought it was worth the price. Not only was the presentation of the dish spectacular, but the taste was also spot on. Most places serve you a tiny little dish that looks cool, but it is neither tasty nor filling. Not Kingfisher, the food had everything it needed and more. The wait staff was very helpful and friendly. I will definitely recommend Kingfisher to my friends and family."

"We were disappointed with the menu. We expected more of a variety of seafood on the dinner menu. To have a burger, ribs, chicken and lamb on the menu at a seafood house and yet not have halibut and dungeness crab, seemed odd to us."

"First time at the restaurant. Fish fare was great. Desserts were good too. Wasn't too pleased with our table's server. Tables seated after us were offered bread at their table and served appetizers before we were offered bread. The server's assistant was excellent. He pulled plates, filed water glasses, etc."

"Special Valentine's Day menu was a little more limited than usual, but still plenty of choice. They specialize in fish, or at least they tend to have more fish choices than most places. This time around, my lamb shank was fabulous, the steak really good, though a bit more well done than the medium rare ordered, the ahi delicious, but again, a little less rare than the rare ordered, other fish excellent. Starters were tasty and plenty large. Found sufficient choice on the wine list and really enjoyed the Oregon Gewurtz we ordered. Our server was fast and skillful-she wrote nothing down but got everything right. A really busy night, but we never felt rushed, never lacked service. Always a really good meal."

"Always, always, always our favorite restaurant, NO MATTER THE OCCASION. Maybe its the mussels, or the Caesar salad (real Caesar with anchovies), or when it comes back on the menu, the RIGATONI WITH PORK BELLY. This restaurant consistently delivers excellence in a dining experience. Favorite restaurant in Tucson, hands down."

"Food and service were excellent. I have dined here for three special occasions in the past year and they have all been very good. Especially given the special menus for valentine's day and new years eve. The room off the main dining room needs a little more pizazz but it was quieter than the main dining room so better for conversation."

"The outside of the restaurant will not impress, but once inside it is tastefully done. The food is definitely a cut above the average with some shining points like the redfish and the Spinach-kale soup with andouille. Noise level was a little high in the restaurant area. The service was excellent, and there were unique items not usually seen in Arizona. A casual dining find hidden in a neighborhood bar wrapper. I'll be back the next time I'm in Tucson."
