Best Seafood

Kingfisher Bar and Grill

Kingfisher has won the Best Seafood category for as long as we can remember, which should vouch for the restaurant's quality and consistency. This local landmark offers full-bodied dinners with an outstanding oyster bar, and a lighter lunch menu. Regular items include clam chowder, grilled sea bass, ruby trout, Atlantic salmon, clams, mussels and more. For confirmed landlubbers, there are Caesar, spinach and other salads; baby-back pork ribs; and the Kingfisher burger. There are ever-changing seasonal specialties, so repeat visits will always offer something new. The wine list is extensive and well-thought out; it repeatedly receives Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence. Don't be surprised if we have to write about them again next year—assuming we're all still around.
