About Tides Coastal Kitchen

Tides Coastal Kitchen has received mixed reviews from its guests. Some diners enjoyed their experience, particularly praising the cocktails and the recommended country boil, as well as the friendly service from staff, who offered helpful local tips. The restaurant features a laid-back coastal charm, with windows that open up to the water, allowing guests to enjoy views of the sea while dining. The menu is seafood-forward and includes fresh oysters, crab cakes, and a perfectly cooked salmon.

While some reviews highlighted the good food and drinks, others expressed disappointment, citing issues like inadequate staffing, with only one waiter managing tables inside and out. This led to slow service, even as several staff members remained idle. Additionally, one reviewer mentioned discomfort due to beachgoers frequently using a door near their table, raising concerns about health and safety. Despite these issues, guests appreciated the pace of the meal, feeling neither rushed nor forgotten. Tides Coastal Kitchen is a place that feels warm, coastal, and a little indulgent without being over the top, making it a spot that encourages slowing down for a meal together.

My partner and I came for vacation and had a wonderful dinner at Tides. We really loved the cocktails, but the recommended country boil was top notch. Koku came to check on us and was super kind, made us laugh and gave us some great pointers on attractions in the local area. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Dear Alexis,

Hello. I am writing to you today to express my complete disappointment with the Golden Girls Brunch that was hosted by Tides Coastal Kitchen on Sunday, April 14th. I run a very successful Facebook Brunch group and I brought a group of 14 ladies on Sunday, and everyone was dissatisfied.

From start to finish, this event was poorly organized and executed. We were instructed to make...read full review
