“Beautiful, iconic Tides Tavern is a legend in Gig Harbor. It sits right on the water with boat access and is, as it has always been, a kid-free zone. If great service, great views, and decent but overpriced food are your jam, this place is for you!“
“We met folks we hadn't seen in years. Wonderful location but Oysterfest was going on downstairs and staff was very light. Food took awhile to arrive and had to ask for bread. I ordered the Rockfish Tacos but got Tilapia instead which i didn't realize until later when i told my wife that there was no taste. She said “You probably got Tilapia because there is a big difference in taste”. Other than that, great experience.“
“My mom has more food allergies than I can count. This place was able to not only accommodate her, but also to make her feel comfortable and leave reaction free for the first time in 12 years. The people here are incredible, the food was fantastic, this is a great place to go!Kid-friendliness: My kids loved the fish and chips. My teens found plenty to love too (burgers and sandwiches)“
“tl;dr -- If you find yourself in Gig Harbor, or are in the Seattle/Tacoma area LOOK FOR THIS TROLLEY. Marketplace Grille! A vision, a feast, a wholesome memory of food and friendliness that everyone deserves to experience.If I could give 6 stars I would!! My friends and I had to leave a nearby restaurant b/c I forgot my ID...(I'm 31, but have a round face). We came across this trolley and thought, "Why not? It looks cute and smells AMAZING"...wow. It did not disappoint.FOOD WE ORDERED: I had the Broiled Halibut Sandwich, friends got Fish and Chips, Shrimp Croissant sandwich, and the Paella (curried!) and we all LOVED it. We also shared an order of calamari and it was so...delicate? Unbelievable. The food was extremely fresh and the fries especially could breathe life into the dead, I swear. So crispy and fluffy and perfectly seasoned at the same time.ATMOSPHERE/SERVICE: The woman who took our order told us it was her and her husband that worked there together and it was a family-owned operation. She was so friendly and inquired about us as well. There was also some Caribbean music playing which was such a vibe and the couple were from Trinidad and Tobago so the whole experience from the food to the service to the atmosphere was just incredibly welcoming and wholesome.OVERALL: My friends and I were in town for a festival and we all marveled at how LIFE-GIVING their food would be at any concert venue, especially those fries. I wish we had taken pictures of our food but we simply dove into it all as soon as we got it. There was also such a diverse group of customers -- a group of teens with fishing lines, families, my group of friends as well... :)Kid-friendliness: Literally a group of teenaged looking boys came by with their fishing gear and sat nearby chatting and enjoying themselves and their food. Loved it. Families with kids were also at ease in this space.“
“Arrived Friday morning for our 11:30am reservation and were seated soon after our arrival. Interior is clean and we were seated near the gas fireplace which was nice on a cold rainy day in March. Service was friendly and our server did a very good job anticipating our needs before asking such as refills on my Coke Zero – yes, they serve Coke Zero here!Wild Seafood Sampler served with three different sauces was good but quite pricey and in retrospect, we would have both been just as satisfied if we had just placed one order for the Wild Hand-cut Calamari and split it.The Wild Seafood Linguine Alfredo was served hot and was very rich and quite tasty; however, I was quite surprised to find it topped with wilted basil leaves that were obviously not fresh. The Wild Alaskan Halibut with mushroom risotto was also tasty; however, again we should have just ordered one of these Lunch Entrees and would have been quite satisfied.With tip, our $151 lunch for two with just one beer and a coke zero was quite pricey but both the service and food were very good. If we feel like having a very nice but spendy lunch, we will return.“
