The Kingfish
Unit 19/15/17 Honeysuckle Dr, Newcastle, New South Wales, 2300
The Kingfish is a bit of a mixed bag for locals. Many diners rave about the fresh seafood and the stellar service from staff like Irish, who is a total legend. However, others feel the menu has become too complex since the renovation and miss the old-school simplicity. While the views are spot on, some have had inconsistent experiences with food quality and wait times. It seems like a great spot for a sunset drink, but the kitchen can be hit or miss.
We analyze 76 public reviews for The Kingfish using our data models and filter out spam to highlight only authentic feedback.
Ask for a table at the front for the best sunset views, but bring a jacket in winter.
