Kingfish at West Sound is a charming inn and restaurant with serene and beautiful views. The atmosphere is romantic and quaint, with friendly staff who make guests feel warm and invited. It is a great place to stay, with clean, good-sized rooms that smell good and offer balconies to take in the beautiful scenery. The dinner is wonderful, often described as the best on the island. The food is delicious, with dishes like perfect pasta, exceptional osso bucco, a family-recipe duck, tomato cod with polenta, and a delicious burger. Appetizers such as oysters, sugar-snapped peas, and asparagus gribiche are excellent. Desserts like beignets with blueberry compote and rhubarb crumble with homemade ice cream are off the charts. The chef is clearly passionate, balancing flavors perfectly and sometimes treating guests to special dishes. The service is impeccable, thoughtful, and efficient. The wine service is excellent, with a well-appointed wine list. It gets busy, so reservations are recommended. Guests love the private dining areas with water views and consistently plan to return.
The food and ambiance is great just what we needed! Yum

My husband and I absolutely loved our experience at Kingfish Inn! Third time in three weeks. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the food was outstanding from start to finish. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. We’ll absolutely be back!
