Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Tidal offers a "stunning" beachfront view, making it perfect for sunset dining. Guests rave about the attentive service, especially from standout staff like Sabrina and Caitlin. The crab cakes and espresso martinis are "amazing," and the Christmas buffet is a highlight. Some find it "overpriced," but the ambiance and special occasions are well-celebrated.

    Had a great experience. Had wonderful and friendly service from Sabrina at the table. There was a loud table near us that made it a little bit louder than ideal, but overall everything was fantastic.

    Everything was excellent. We had a group of six and we all loved the food. One of our party had difficult food sensitivities and Tidal was well able to handle.

    Food took forever and then burger was so over cooked it was dry. Server was nice. Fondue was amazing. Shrimp bisque was just ok. Halibut was good. Super over priced.

    Food was good but crazy expensive. You’re paying for the beachfront view vs the meal really.

    Patio is great ambiance but the inside is dated and needs a revamp

    Waitress was not attentive and waited a very long tile for drinks and rarely checking in. Food was terrible, with finding a hair in it. Overall not impressive.

    The food was very overpriced for the quality. Ambiance was lacking. The crab on the burger was an absolute miss. If you’re gonna get the burger get the crab on the side or not at all. Someone in the kitchen burnt something plastic and burnt plastic smell filled the restaurant - felt like we were inhaling cancer 💀

    We were staying at the resort and didn’t want to leave so we chose Tidal for a birthday dinner. The food was fine, maybe a little pricey, the crème brûlée was fantastic! I was mostly disappointed with the fact I had made reservations well in advance and stated it was for a 50th birthday. I didn’t expect anything from them but I would think that a simple “Happy Birthday” would have been nice. The location was very nice. Would recommend to anyone staying at the resort.
