Someone in that kitchen knows how to cook!! We will be back, have to try the rest of the menu!!“

“Haven't had a panini in years and Donna's didn't disappoint; excellent food!“

“Gal greeting needs to be trained on what greeting means. Server excellent. Decent pour of wine. I’ve read reviews that said this food is like bar food. Definitely not bar food.
I had the snakehead fish bites. Asked the Chef to put very light blackening. Accommodated. I ordered the mac & cheese and the green beans to complement. Mac and cheese was delicious. I read a review that said the pimento cheese in it was not visible. It was not visible because it was totally chopped up. That allowed it to present its sweet flavor throughout. Key lime pie was good. Not a must unless you’re a dessert person.“

“Great food, chill local vibe, clean restrooms, the owners are the nicest folks in the world. Great spot to visit by boat.“

“This is a go to for fresh and well priced seafood. Well worth the drive! Parking can be precarious, but worth the effort.
You'll find a variety of fresh fish, shellfish, and frozen options. They also have a great Mac and cheese with seafood.
They can provide advice on how to get your fresh seafood home. For my first visit, I appreciated how kind and knowledgeable they were.“

“Excellent service, beautiful setting, food was wonderful!“

“My husband and I spent a wonderful weekend at the Hope & Glory! The accommodations were beautiful and charming. We especially loved the flowers in the garden. The Inn was quiet and peaceful. The pool was perfect. We were walking distance to shops and restaurants. The staff is incredible and we could tell they put a lot of heart into making sure their guests have a welcoming and special stay. They make you feel right at home. We will spread the word and sure hope to be back again! Thank you!!“

“We love Sandpiper restaurant. The atmosphere, menu and staff are wonderful and knowledgeable. We enjoyed dinner there on a super busy night. My husband ordered the rib eye with sautéed shrimp and the steak was cooked to the perfect ordered temperature and the price was wonderful for all he received (salad, steak, shirmp and asparagus, $55 ish). I ordered what was listed on the menu as the Sanpiper Jumbo Lump crabcakes. They were fine but definitely not jumbo lump. Backfin crabmeat at best. My mistake was only asking if the crabmeat was fresh and not specifically asking if it was indeed jumbo lump. The filler was flavored nicely. Will definitely eat here again but will just order differently.“

“Amazing oyster and fish tacos. Sooo good !!!“

“Imagine a gas station with a convenience store. Except this store has a seafood market with a great selection of local seafood and prepared food. I got the crab salad to go. It is by far the best crab salad I have ever tasted. Friendly service! I highly recommend I will be coming back to try the crab cakes next!“

“Three girlfriends and I stayed at the Tides Inn for a quick overnight stay to celebrate a milestone birthday , and one of the highlights was having our lunch at Fish Hawk Oyster bar. It’s delightful covered terrace overlooked both the pool and the river. I enjoyed a crab salad and one of my friends enjoyed her crab cake sandwich (so much crab, NOT all filler). The service was attentive even though they were busy. We enjoyed our day 1 lunch so much we returned for our day 2 lunch before we departed! There was a cocktail boat racing event happening at the resort so it was much busier. Their flat bread, salads, fried oysters were all delicious. We hit it at the right time and got a table but wait time grew to over an hour (due to the boat races) while we were enjoying our lunch. Management stepped in to help with service during peak times. Highly recommend if you’re near Irvington or staying at the Tides Inn!“

“Visited over the Memorial Day Weekend, sat at the bar had a few drinks, placed a to go order. Overall great experiance, the local vibe was everything I hoped for as we are planning to move to the bay and are actively looking for communities and a place to start our new chapter. I ordered the captians platter and already looking forward to getting it again when we return. I love how the ownership is actively involved in the review responses. Please dont hesitate to visit Reedville and The Market.“

“Have had several meals here now (Goat Curry, Crab cake & Softshell Crab Sandwich, Seafood Platter) and all have been exceptional. Craige is an amazing chef! Unique flavors that are just delicious.“

“We had drinks and appetizers in the bar yesterday. Shrimp dip was Amazing! Our bartender was AWESOME! Friendly and courteous. Great service! We will be back!“

“View is amazing. Food is good and menu has a nice variety. Of note, the eggs were brought to the table cold and were returned. Staff could be more attentive. For example, no spoons were brought out with the sorbet so we ate it with forks. We were a party of two and were seated at a 5 top which is fine but the other place settings were not cleared and sat on table throughout the meal. Didn't have a chance to eat on the patio but that looked fun. Overall, would recommend and it is nice to have available when staying at The Tides Inn.“
