Stellar meal in every aspect.
The ambiance of the place is nice. Every dish was so flavorful and did a great job of involving Vietnamese flavors with some experimenting. There were sooooo many amazing cocktails that I tried as well. Overall flavorbomb of a meal and it was definit

I came here on my birthday and am so happy I did!! I had high standards for this place and my standards were def exceeded. The interior itself is lovely and well decorated. There patio seating as well for nice warm days. Me and my BF went pretty craz
Cute classy and hidden in the heart of Golden hill.
This place gives roaring 20s classy golds and dark greens. With an Asian inspired taste, they have mastered some amazing meals! The beef tartar was out of this world. Please see pics for more of what we ate. I'd highly recommend. Pricey but f
Came to try their special dry aged duck.
It's great but didn't blow my mind. The interior is nice and the staffs were friendly. Beautiful bar. We hang out at the bar for a bit before our dinner reservation and they do have some good drinks, very unique with a touch of asian flavor
Came here for my bf's birthday on a Friday night.
Probably need to make reservations sooner than a week before the date you want, we didn't and only had bar seats as options (for reservations). Had small plates to share-- blue fin crudo, the wings and the mussels and clams-- all were delicious.
We came here to celebrate our anniversary with two friends.
Our reservation was for 4 at 5:15pm, and we were seated right away. Luckily we found a street parking spot, though I can imagine parking gets much tougher later in the evening. I also really appreciate that they seat you immediately instead of making

We dropped by this Azn fuzn place on Golden Hill, North of DT San Diego. Overall, the food was very good. However, there were some big drawbacks that result in an overall 3 rating (but not necessarily mediocre). First of all, the eggplant and clam

My husband and I went there twice in one week just because we love it so much! During our first visit, we shared a few dishes. 1) The snapper crudo was a bit basic. 2) Beef tartare was a real treat! The mix of flavors was just spot on. It was way mo

This is a place where you'll leave happy because not only the food is spectacular, but also because the service is top notch (attentive not overbearing) and the vibe is just so awesomely relaxed and classy at the same time. We loved everything
Birthday celebration
Service was excellent. Fun ambience and decor. Food was good but not excellent - overpriced. Cocktails are likely best we all had - think is one of the best bars in SD. When go back - will sit at the bar.
Must try Michelin Guide winner!
Since this landed on the Michelin guide, the gals and I decided to try it. We loved it! The interior was cool, along with the bar and the vibe. Everything we ordered were tasty including the drinks! Fair warning on the fish dish (it is a whole fi

I was in town for work and we decided to go to a nice dinner. I ended up choosing Kingfisher because S loves sweets and fusion cuisine. And yes, Eater San Diego's article about the flan here did sway me greatly because I wanted to see if it was well

What an amazing restaurant! They were mentioned for a Michelin star and after the gourmet experienced we had I can see why ! We came with a group and were able to try many of the items on the menu. Every dish was better than the next , unique flavors

The drinks are great.
The food is good, but very overpriced - though gourmet. The service was good.
I think this place is NOT for KIDS.
This is for adult. Of course that's my fault that I didn't check if they have a high chair or booster seat or something... But they really don't have any of them... If I know that, we should't have to go this restaurant. All of Food was great and amb

As soon as you walk you, the place impresses you with its chic-modern bar centerpiece. The lights are ingeniously dimmed behind mirrors and glasses. What a beautiful place visually but the music was a bit too loud and at times I felt the need to rais

What Did You Say?!
This restaurant had good food and service, but the ambience was ruined by a extremely loud noise level on a Friday night. Average noise level was 85 dB which is extremely loud and difficult to hold a conversation.
Really enjoyable dinner at Kingfisher tonight! The calamari
Really enjoyable dinner at Kingfisher tonight! The calamari appetizer we ordered with our generously poured cocktails, was fresh and tasty! My wife ordered the halibut, which was the special fish for tonight, and it was really fresh and good! I loved

Really wonderful service, beautiful atmosphere, great food, really fun experience! Only complaint is that's it's quite loud in there, not sure what sound dampening they could do to improve that. It's our wedding anniversary and they gave us a little
This is hands down the best restaurant in San Diego.

Second time here for my birthday and it did not disappoint.
I had duck pate for the first time and it was the best thing I had of all the dishes we ordered.

Love Kingfisher! Sitting at the bar is such a treat, everybody is so hospitable and knowledgeable about the offerings. Konji is a must as well as the fried chicken!

I had dinner at Kingfisher solo and they nicely sat me at a table by myself. Some restaurants shove you to the bar if you're dining solo, so I appreciated that they offered me a table. My waitress was amazing and gave me such good recommendations.
Underwhelming for the price.
Food was decent but not spectacular. Pretty noisy and difficult to hear. We were seated near the outdoor patio and it was cold. Patio diners had the heaters but we had nothing. Once again, for the price point you expect to be comfortable. Not sure we

Terrible reservation system.
You have to pay $20 per person in your reservation to make the reservation. They return it when you show up for your reservation. The website for reservation doesn't allow guest log in and you have to create an account. The reservation website also h

Excellent meal at Kingfisher. All three dishes my wife and I had were creative, unique and tasteful. The steak tartare appetizer was a spicy delight to the senses; served with a generous bowl of greens and rice crackers it had generous heat and a wid
LIVING UP TO ITS REPUTATION
It's a refreshing change to try a highly praised restaurant for the first time and find it actually lives up to the hype. That's the case with Kingfisher. From the creative cocktails to the variety of shareable small plates to the handful of entrees,
Not to be missed!
Came here on a last min recommendation and got 3 seats at the bar. I have to say this is one of the top dining experiences I’ve had in awhile. We shared scallops, the tamarind wings, the beef tartare ( those Thai chilis what a nice kick!), and the
One of the best meals in town!
This restaurant has been locally reviewed as one of the best new places in town, and the writers are right! It's considered now one of the top 10 places in town, and now we know why. It's located in a hip and gentrifying neighborhood called Golden H
Connect with users posting reservations for Kingfisher San Diego
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Kingfisher San Diego. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Kingfisher San Diego at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Kingfisher San Diego page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Kingfisher San Diego to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Kingfisher San Diego!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
