   Best crab cake we’ve ever had from a restaurant - a true Chesapeake Bay jumbo lump crab cake, which is incredibly rare to find! waitress and staff was as nice as could be and very attentive. Also had the halibut, which was delicious. Loved the sides that came with both meal - whole food prepared perfectly.

   Had a very laid back lunch on the patio overlooking the water. Staff tended not to be very proactive but did things when asked, like moving an umbrella shade over or bringing tea refills. Food is very good. Hamburger was pricy ($22) but very good. Salmon cooked with a nice crisp exterior but still moist. Overall, a very good experience.

    The dining room is lovely and the seats by the windows are our favorite. It has a classic old hotel feel and look, only updated for 2022. The food is very good and lots of choices from beef to seafood. The Fish Hawk restaurant on the water overlooks the boats and harbor. I loved the fried pickles. And the milkshake. Casual. Near the pool

    Tuna crudo was disappointing. Gnocchi was pan fried and dried out with a cream sauce that was way too thick and tasteless. Pork chop was dry. Burrata and peaches were good. Wait staff was excellent along with great bartenders.

    Bad service. Good location. Served my fish cold as it was sitting in kitchen. Then I had them warm it up and then they served it over cooked, too dry. Not precessional, amateur service…

    Excellent experience. We enjoy the Chesapeake Restaurant several times a year. The service is always exceptional, the food is creative and fresh....and the view! Wow! Best time to go is just before sunset, whenever that is during the year. The colors are brilliant. Always get the oysters, always get the mushrooms if they are available. This time, I tried the crabcakes...I am pretty fussy about crabcakes. These did not disappoint. Little to no filler, Lump and Jumbo lump crab, uncomplicated so you can taste and enjoy the crab. ...did I mention the craft cocktails? 1947 - Gin, lavender-honey syrup, lemon juice, lavender bitters..... light, floral, not too sweet..."I'll have another".... Finished splitting the butter cake 3 ways, with macerated strawberries and fresh cream. What more can you ask?

    It is always a treat to take a nice drive from Richmond to Irvington and have lunch at the Chesapeake Restaurant. We do this about 4 times a year. The view from the dining room is beautiful, the wait staff is lively and fun (we especially love Miss Faye) and the food is delicious. Good coffee, too. We love to bring friends with us, especially if they have not been before. We will have family visiting from Arizone next month and plan to bring them in for brunch.

    Great personalized service by Matthew, the crab soup and the melon burrata were outstanding, great taste and presentation, only weak spit were the soft shell crab- tiny portion and over cooked/fried. Nice wine by the glass selection that’s served table side. Again very nicely done with excellent knowledge by Matthew.

    A last minute choice to celebrate our anniversary! 1.5 hr drive from home yielded a beautiful day through the country out to the water. Lunch at the Tides Inn on the patio was the perfect touch to our trip. Great service, friendly staff, delicious menu. Highly recommend for a quick day trip or long weekend.

    Our seat was wonderful with an awesome view of the water. CC, our Server, was terrific. We celebrated our 24th Wedding Anniversary on this night and the Tides made this a memorable night. Champagne on ice, chocolate covered strawberries and a box of chocolates tucked into one of the historical lock boxes. What a night!! Thank you for a wonderful and memorable anniversary.

    Nice upscale elegant place, good food, good service, great view. The She-crab soup is in the top four I’ve ever had, very nice. It would be top two if it was served hot in a heated bowl instead of just warm. A pet peeve of mine, restaurants that fail to serve soup HOT. Another peeve is restaurants that don’t understand that background music should be in the background, not the foreground. And lastly, a place this nice should not have any flies buzzing around in the dining room. We had two that about ruined that last half of our meal after they discovered us. Please management, do more to eliminate any and all flies from the restaurant. This is a common problem at restaurants near the water so I can’t blame them but so much. I have been eating here for many years and will continue to come back.

    We ate here everyday while visiting The Tides Inn. Food was always good, issues included waiting long periods for a reservation made in advance (one evening after 45 mins waiting we left for another restaurant). Food was very good, however, our orders always had a problem - something missing (sides, adds or appetizers). Servers were very nice and personable. Not sure if Issues are management, kitchen or what. Unfortunate for such a prime location.

    Lovely setting on the water and the service was flawless. Unfortunately, our dinners were very disappointing.I had the crab cakes and my husband had the filet mignon. The crab cakes had absolutely no flavor whatsoever- they didn’t even taste of crab. The accompanying succotash was as bland as can be. The chef used no seasoning at all and it was served at room temperature which made it even less appealing. My husband’s dinner, was marginally better. For the price (close to $100 for just the entrees) we expected much more.

    The staff is very kind and trying so hard but it was chaotic and overpriced. Food was average, mine lacked flavor and spouses over sauced. We did enjoy the Brown Butter Cake dessert. Views are lovely if you sit outside or near a window.

    Could not have had a better birthday celebration… excellent serviced… she let us take our time… visiting over cocktails and starters… she was very attentive and helpful with our entire evening. View was lovely and food was delicious . I even received a gift for my birthday upon leaving. Very nice touch but would not expect anything less from a Resort as nice as The Tides.

    Beautiful place for dinner. Dining room is great, and the view is marvelous. Unfortunately, the food is not up to the task, but they try. Simple mixed green salad was a disaster. Enough dressing for several salads and it was bitter. Peas were stringy and tough. There "special" oysters tasted like they sat at the dock a week prior to delivery to the restaurant and the chef didn't add much to the parade. They were pretty bad. We both had halibut, I requested mashed potatoes in lieu of the normal fare, my wife had the normal fare. Mine was better but halibut was overcooked and that was after requesting it to be undercooked. We like salmon, swordfish, tuna and halibut rare or medium rare. Unfortunately, the chef tried to kill it again. For all their disasters they comped a desert of cake and strawberries which was very good. Our server needed a bit more training if they want to improve their game. lose the headband and trim the hair to start! With all that said I would still recommend it to others but with a caution to request all dishes exactly what you want and what you expect.

    Wonderful anniversary dinner shared with friends! Food was delicious! Crab cakes were mostly crab and there were two of them surrounded by a delicious relish. Our waited was patient and thoughtful and offered a perfect desert suggestion that we all loved! We were escorted into a separate area where the noise level was very reasonable and we could all talk with one another easily. We will be back!
