My family dined in your restaurant last night to celebrate our 22 wedding anniversary. Our server Danny was wonderful; very attentive to detail. The food was outstanding; will definitely return for the seared Ahi. Danny made sure we had a wonderful celebration.

Hi Kathy, I wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful rehearsal dinner at Kingfish on Friday evening. Everyone loved the room, the food, and the exceptional service. I cannot say enough good things about the staff! I look forward to going back to San Mateo just to dine at Kingfish!

Kathy--I'd like to thank you and your staff for making our event Saturday night a great success. Hugo, Kim, and Heather did a great job. Service was just the right amount of attention--not too much, not too little (Goldilocks would have been pleased too). I'm sure the guests who haven't been there before got a good first impression of your restaurant and will be back.

I really appreciated the flexibility you provided on last-minute headcount changes and such too. Thanks again, J. and N.

"Last Sunday we celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary in the Estate Room at Kingfish. Everyone had a fantastic time and commented to us on the excellent food and service. My husband and I felt everything was handled beautifully - from booking the event, choosing the menu and handling any questions or details that we had along the way. Cecilia saw to our every need as well as the friendly and efficient staff. A geat time was had by all!!! and we look forward to returning again -- definitely before another 50 years goes by!!"

"Hi Kathy, Thank you so much for all your help in coordinating our event that was held yesterday evening. While the turn out was much less than what we expected, it was considered a success since everyone had a great time! We received several compliments on the venue, the food and wine.

I was also very impressed with Betty - who served at the event. She was on top of it all night - the service (along with detailed description) of the appetizers, always smiling, friendly, and completely professional all evening. She was not only a joy to work with due to her pleasant disposition, but she was on top of all details and items for handling the event. There was not once during the evening that I had to remind her of anything, request anything due to an oversight, or go look for her due to her lack of presence."

She was fantastic and deserves kudos for a job well done. I absolutely will keep Kingfish in mind for not only any work events that may arise that Kingfish is an appropriate venue, but for also for personal events.

As you very well know - it not only takes great food, but also superb service and a special atmosphere to maintain clients. I am glad to say that Kingfish has all three! Thank you again. Great job Betty!

Regards, Carrie"

"What a wonderful way to have celebrated my brother and new sister-in-law's wedding!! The evening was perfect.

Charlene was an absolute pleasure to have worked with in the planning of this event. From planning the menu, setting the tables, providing us with the necessary equipment for our entertainment for the evening, to the cake cutting...Charlene, Dee, and C.J. could not have been more accommodating.

We couldn't have asked for two better servers than Patty and Lisa. They made the evening flow that much better with their excellent service. Their timing was perfect with the service of the appetizers and the ordering and service of the soup/salads, and dinner. They also did a wonderful job in helping us to cut the wedding cake and serve it too!!! We also loved the fact that our glasses were never empty; our guests were very pleased. Their service made it feel like they were celebrating with us.

The food was delectable. The teriyaki skirt steak, Ahi Tuna and Filet Mignon were amongst the favorites. For many of our guests who have never been to Kingfish before, I guarantee, they will be back for more.

I have actually dined at this restaurant many a time, and have also had the pleasant experience of planning a bridal shower event there a year and a half ago. I had only the utmost confidence that this wedding event was going to be wonderful...and it was.

On behalf of my brother, Jeff Junio, and my new sister-in-law, Glenna Junio, I want thank all of you at Kingfish for allowing us to celebrate their special day at your establishment. You did a fine job.

Sincerely, Stephanie"

"Charlene, I wanted to thank you and your whole staff for another great event at Kingfish on Saturday night. Everyone that was involved in our party was very friendly and very helpful...Mica did a FABULOUS job of making sure everything went smoothly...Thanks again for all your help and organization....it's always a pleasure having our event there."

"We held our company holiday party in the Estate Room on 1/7/06 and it was truly a night to remember! The food exceeded my expectations and the wines (with the help of Mica's refined recommendations) were exceptional also. The staff were extremely professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. My guests were very appreciative of the level of attention they received throughout the evening. Even the smallest details - the room still nicely decorated with festive holiday ornaments, and beads and nice votives on the tables...all of it added to the great ambiance. Charlene was also wonderful and very professional getting my party on the books and making menu recommendations, etc. We had a terrific time and we'll be back next year!

Cheers, Nicole E. "

"I wanted to thank your staff for their excellence handling our company party last night. Everyone of them were friendly, and did a wonderful job. Our staff had a wonderful time, enjoy the food, drinks, ambiance, etc. I have nothing but positive feedback from our people. Also, I wanted to thank Charlene for all her help (and follow-ups) in setting up our company event. She made it easy and stress-free. Again, I can't thank your staff enough for their wonderful service. Our party would have not been a success without them.

"Dear Kathy, I wanted to thank you and your staff for all of their help and service. Our holiday party was a success!!

Marco and the rest of the serving staff were wonderful, they helped take away some of the stress and helped me tremendously; anything I needed they did. Also, the atmosphere was festive and warm, exactly what I wanted I received a lot of compliments on the atmosphere and food. I was told that the President's wife said out of all the years and Christmas parties she's been to yours was the best food she has had. People have come up to me to say they loved the restaurant and will be going there to eat again; they have also been recommending it to their friends and family. I will definitely keep you in mind for future parties and recommend you to anyone and everyone I come across, for parties and intimate dining.

Please pass on my thanks and gratitude to your entire staff that contributed to the success of EPI's Christmas Party.

Warmest regards, Eileen C."

"Hi Kathy, Our National Treasure Celebration Dinner was spectacular, the food was delicious, and your buffet suggestion was a hit with all attendees. People were very satisfied by the vast amount of food and the choice of dessert, which made it hard just to pick one. I appreciate your effort and preparation for this event. Thank you on behalf of the National Promotions and Event Marketing team at Visa.
