We've been to the Long Beach Domenico's many times and love it, but this was our first time to the Mission Viejo location. It turned out to be just as good -- and it's on the lake. We received attentive and friendly service throughout the busy Saturday night. We started with a basket of complimentary focaccia, then we each had the Domenico's salad with the fabulous garlic dressing. My entree was the Mediterranean pasta, and it was yummy and filling. For dessert, we shared tiramisu. We will definitely be back.

I had made a reservation and we were going to be seated right away but the table they gave us was located by the front door and was too cold and people would be standing behind us as we were dining. After a short wait they seated us further back in the reassurance which was great. The food and the service were excellent. Michelle, our server, was terrific. Would definitely come back.

My husband always takes me to Kings for my birthday dinner (as well as other times) because we love the freshness of the fish and the great service. My favorite is scallops so I almost always order those. They were superb, of course!

I'm a sucker for fried calamari and theirs is spot on, very tender and great sauce. Spaghetti alla Pescatore was delicious, one scallop, clams, mussels and shrimp. Portions are decent size. Service was attentive. Wine list was quite sufficient. Ambiance was cozy. I will continue coming...

Great table by the water watching the boat parade!
