Reservations can be made on OpenTable. There's lots of parking, with a parking attendant at the entrance. It was my first time at Kincaid's and was pleasantly surprised. Our server was helpful (it was my first time there), patient and attentive. The view of the water is so nice, especially around sunset. The food was good. The portions were bigger than I anticipated but a little overcooked. The molten chocolate cake wasn't what I expected. I was hoping the cake would be filled with liquid and the outer layer more like a cake texture. The molten chocolate cake was more like a truffle.

Note: the pictures attached to this review are from December 2021 and do not reflect the quality of the restaurant today. This restaurant has gone down in quality unfortunately. It's still absolutely gorgeous on the inside, however upon your arrival you're met with a security guard in the parking lot who informs you not to leave valuables in your car due to consistent car break ins in the area. Obviously this is the bay area so that's not surprising, just something to keep in mind. I went to this restaurant in December of 2021 for lunch and really enjoyed myself. Oh how the great have fallen. Their caesar salad is still good--it's hard to mess up a classic like that. But when I went back for my birthday dinner in February of 2022, I was absolutely not impressed. I had a party of 5. We all got calamari to start, 2 people got shrimp and grits. "Grits" because those were not grits at all, more like polenta and each dish had about 3 shrimps max. Next for our main courses almost all of us ordered fish and chips and each plate looked completely different. One plate looked like actual cod caught and cooked, the other two plates just looked like frozen fish reheated. The textures of the shrimp were different and so were the sizes. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures. When we dined there back in 2021 my mother ordered their bread pudding for dessert and it was absolutely delicious. The brioche was soaked in a rich and creamy vanilla-y mixture and the raisins added a nice bite. She ordered that same bread pudding in 2022 and it was completely different. The bread wasn't brioche, there were no raisins, and there was a crumble topping on top that she didn't care for. Unfortunately, with this last experience, the best part about it was the dinner bread that they give you as you wait for your food because of the garlic and herb butter that is served along with it. I do hope things change as this used to be one of my favorite restaurants for special occasions. The views that you get from the dining room near the windows are still spectacular!

Kincaid's is a favorite restaurant in the Mid-Peninsula, with a broad array of entrees in seafood, and limited selections in steak, chops, and chicken. The pork chop entree is highly recommended, with a well prepared chop, with tasty glaze topping, fingerling potatoes, and mixed veggies

Logan the server is amazing. He cares about customers, treats them with kindness and care and goes above and beyond to please. The view is amazing, and the salads, clam chowder is outstanding. The Brie macadamia nut and their garlic bread is a must. I highly recommend

Great seafood and excellent service. Had a trio of seafood with lobster tail add-on: scallops and lobster tail were cooked to perfection, melting in the mouth, prawns and salmon nicely grilled. The location with the Bay views and Bay trail could not be more attractive.

Great restaurant with Bay views. Ample free parking. Note that the dining room doesn't open until 4 pm on Sundays, and our party of arrived at 3 pm (opening time) and we were seated in the bar area (same full menu as the dining room) and enjoyed crispy calamari and coconut shrimp as appetizers. The clam chowder was good and Kincaid's puts their own spin on it, so it is not your run-of-the-mill chowder. For entrees, we really enjoyed the Trio and the salmon was excellent, the shrimp was tasty and the scallops were good. The grilled salmon plate was also excellent! The hamburger and fries were tasty and the fish and chips were crispy without being overly battered. The flavored Arnold Palmers were all good as was the ginger cooler. Service was great - attentive without hovering. We will go again!

We had a late 8:00 reservation and the waiter came and told us at 8:40 that the bar was going to close in 20 minutes. At 9:10 we wanted to order coffee and dessert and he told us that the kitchen was closed. We were surprised because he only told us about the bar closing telling us it was last call for the bar. I believe that the waiter could of came and asked us if we wanted dessert before the kitchen closed. We were finished with our dinner by 9:00. Of course we were disappointed because we were looking forward to their key lime pie. Maybe next time I'll order dessert first.

Prime ribs were soft and tender with real horse radish. The appetizers were great with the sampler and calamari. Sea bass was also very juicy and tender. Service sometimes took a little bit but it was a busy day. Parking lot security was great walking us to the car with a flash light, very nice and friendly from when we arrived till we left.
