    The Tides is a wondrous escape in and of the Goose Rocks Beach. We visited on a foggy evening and were surrounded by the ocean scent and senses. The staff are friendly and professional. The ambience can be punctuated by the patrons spirit after imbibing the sensuous martini. The food is exquisitely caressed.

    Greeted by very friendly staff Immediately given water and focaccia bread With oil. Delicious Service was genuine and very attentive without being intrusive (Charlie was very good) Our meals were excellent and wonderful variety to choose from on the pre fix menu. Worth every penny and more. Outstanding value. Highly recommend and we have travelled a lot so can compare to many high end restaurants and this is by far one of our best. Thank you staff job well done.

    Food was delicious as always. I got the chicken pesto panini, and had some poutine. The Pork belly could have been a little more crispy. The service was great and she was attentive!
