Kingfisher Cocktail Bar and Eatery

“My absolute favorite pasta (Green noodles with chili oil) will having you coming back every time! Fried squash blossoms are packed with flavor! All of the alc. drinks are very tasty and (warning) strong! The old fashion with duck fat is an absolute must have for enthusiasts of the drink. My only complaint is that there is never enough!”

“​⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect spot for a special night! Spent our anniversary at Kingfisher and it was 10/10! They arranged a beautiful, private corner table for us. The food was highly impressive and the portions were very filling (just a tad on the salty side for me, but still great). The cocktails were fantastic, and they even surprised us with two free glasses of champagne before we left, along with a lovely anniversary souvenir. A truly memorable evening with exceptional service!”

“Exceeded expectations! We stopped by for a date night, had been by years ago and hadn't been back due to the crowds, somehow got 2 seats at the bar on a Friday night. The space is beautiful with that SoCal casual fancy (love it, hate stuffy dressed up fancy atmospheres). The staff were friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, definitely were helpful in making informative recommendations. The efforts put in are Michelin level. They notified us multiple times of the automatic 20% tip that's shared with all staff which I'm honestly fine with. We got the Pig Ears Salad (recommended by the bartender, the best, most surprising dish, 100%, will never find this anywhere else in the world), eggplants (they were still good and plentiful but not our favorite), and the dry aged duck ($$$$, the confit duck made me uncontrollably laughed and gnaw on the bones praying to extend the moment). I will always get the pig ear, and I was initially skeptical of the price of the duck but left feeling it was worth it. We left with leftovers and it's a good amount of food. Overall, excellent meal, great service, so happy it's at a point that we can do walk ins, and will be back!”

“Came here to celebrate 3 year anniversary with my girlfriend. We loved it. The food was all so on point, we got the chicken wings, egg noodles, and scallop meuniere. Especially, the lemon butter base sauce for the meuniere was sooo good. The service was also amazing, I forgot the name of the server (had really cool tattoos on her arm and fingers) she was one of the most kind and attentive servers probably in all of restaurants we have been to in sd. She made us feel like we are genuinely treated nicely for the whole experience here, with a very attentive service. Highly recommend”

“Came here for Valentine's 2026, so they had a pre-fixe menu. Personally, for me, the menu started out very strong with a perfect oyster and elevated, but had authentic Vietnamese flavors, beef tartare. The rest of the meal waned from there. But my partner loved the squab, which I agree was cooked perfectly, I just don't think I prefer squab. We sat at the bar and the all the drinks looked amazing.”
