Food quality was great. The speed of service was as expected. The prices are also very reasonable. There is live music and the dining room view overlooking the bay is quite relaxing. The servers were very courteous, too.

Eggs were sm but good. Overall wasn't that impressed. I am more traditional breakfast . No sausage gravy. $4 paper cup of milk, Thanks .Bacon wasn't all that, or the ham.Stuffed French toast sounds better then what it is.I am from midwest so maybe breakfast is different down here .Note : It was there 1st day of breakfast hours.

This restaurant is romantic and cozy. It’s an affordable upper scale option.Chefs choice, which means the menu changes.For dinner we shared a meal of fried chicken, green beans, and mash potatoes with gravy. For dessert we shared a key lime pie cake. Everything was delicious!We were seated in the corner by the window. While we dined we got to enjoy a breathtaking sunset.The safe was friendly and knowledgeable.

I've been here twice. Service was slow both times so don't be in a hurry. The food was not good the last time I visited. I sent my entree back because the food was so salty and the fish overcooked. But Tides has a key lime cake dessert that is fantastic. In the future I'll just order dessert and skip having a meal here.

Hit and miss. Redfish pontchatrain is excellent!! The double cut pork chop was tiny and really gross, huge letdown, it was difficult to eat cause it smelled like dirty socks and tasted like chemicals & the collard greens for that meal were flavorless. The garlic mash potatoes were excellent. Husband said his ribeye was great but his sides were also lacking. I'm not entirely upset because we paid using resort credit that we were gifted but if we had paid with our own money i would've been pissed. The price is outrageous for the quality you get. I would expect way better for the price, didn't even seem like they've even tried any of their own food the sell.

I have a love hate relationship with Tides. They do have great quality steaks. The food is always good sometimes great, the Tomahawk ribeye, OMG, is a meal for 2 $60 bring it back more often please. The bartending though is sometimes average and often pitiful. Give the bartender an iPad or something! The view is pretty nice. Locals and Bluegreen owners get a discount on food making it almost supermarket prices.

The restaurant itself is nice. It's small but beautiful and overlooks the water. The service we had was good, but I wouldn't say it was above expectation, if anything, it was below expectation. For a restaurant that we knew we were spending over $125 at, I would expect the food to have been much better. The only things that were good were my husband's pasta, the broccolini, and my daughter's hotdog and fries. I had the $40 filet and it came out sitting on mashed potatoes (which it doesn't say there's gravy on them on the menu) and that gravy covered my steak. It was like the filet was treated like chicken fried steak. Don't get me wrong, the cut was awesome but all I could taste was the gravy and the potatoes since they were all over the bottom of my steak. I did try to wipe it off. I love a good steak and I felt like it was mistreated here. I was asked multiple times within a minute or two that the server was picking up if we wanted a box and I told her we were leaving the next day. Once would have been sufficient for that question...I had just gotten done explaining that the steak didn't meet my expectations but that I had no issue paying or anything. I just felt like the menu should be more detailed or maybe that the customers should have been notified. I thought the chef may have been newer and she corrected us and said no, this is how we always do it but I'll let him know. It just wasn't a great experience. We also got the calamari, and it was not seasoned at all. The sauce with it was almost like mayo. But, we're from Southeast Louisiana, so maybe we're just used to food with more flavor. We were not impressed at all.

I ordered the seared scallops and got 5 really small overcooked scallops for $39 . The risotto was the consistency of day old oatmeal. Also ordered the filet which was just ok. Tasted more like sirloin.The server was clearly new and had no experience serving in any restaurant let alone a nicer restaurant.

The restaurant is near to the bay and has a beautiful view over the bay. The food is very good, fresh and good products , one of the best in the surroundings. Service could be be improved.

All of our food was FABULOUS. I had the Shrimp and grits. My son had the braised short ribs. Our server was brand new, but she was fabulous. I'll post pictures.

Appreciated the outdoor seating. Food service was too long... 30min+ to get 2 appetizers. Don't like nickel/dime in a resort. Should focus on customer sat.

The restaurant itself was clean and quiet. The service was lacking. The 14 oz ribeye steak was extremely chewy and cooked like roasted beef. The broccolini and mash potatoes was good though.
