    My wife has a garlic allergy - most menu items here go heavy on garlic. But the server and the chef did find something very tasty for her to have. My cod with risotto and asparagus was great!

    We ordered crab cakes which were mushy and didn't contain much crab. We also ordered chicken wings which were tough and the "sauce" which was supposed to be honey hot was simply what tasted like Frank's hot sauce. The fish and chips was very good and the Rockerfeller scallops on the half shell were outstanding. We were seated in a booth right next to the restrooms when there were many other open seats.

    Did not have a good experience. Very slow service. Slow to deliver cocktails. Slow to take order. Waited almost 40 minutes from salad to entree'. We noted other customers who sat down after we did were served their main course before us. Food was okay but the service made for an unpleasant experience.

    I have eaten there many times, their food is always excellent. So many choices. Everything prepared to perfection. On my recent visit, the service was a bit off. Often saw my server laughing and talking to other employees (greeters) and ignoring the tables. This is the first time in many visits that I’ve had this issue. I hope the service will be better next time. But all the food and drinks were excellent per usual.

    My wife and I were celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary on March 15th. We came here in early December for her birthday dinner as well. Ari was our server last night and she was fabulous. I was just going to order a single glass of red wine, but told me that for a couple more bucks, I could get a bottle. I got the 021 Daou Cab Sav and it's velvety smooth. We ordered the Sourdough bread with lobster bisque and New England clam chowda to start off with. Our daughter got the short rib with carrots & sweet potato fries. The wifey got king crab legs with mac, and whipped tators. I ordered the filet, carrots & whipped tators. Everything was cooked perfectly, tasted great and was very fresh. The king crab was more briney than sweet. Probably the oceans fault to be honest.

    Our 1 pound of crab & Far Niente wine were great. Haddock fish & chips was not. Batter fell off of the fish in one large, oily rectangle leaving the small amount of fish. Usually order the King pasta & seafood but thought that was too much food. My mistake. French fries were ok & slaw was excellent.

    Birthday dinner and first time to dine at High Tide. We enjoyed the dinner, my clam linguine had great flavor although the clams were chewy. The seafood enchilada Del Mar was packed with seafood and served with melted cheese over the top, highly recommend this dish! Bread pudding dessert was served warm with vanilla ice cream and was yummy. Server was very good and we are planning to come back soon!

    Fantastic dinner with a great server, Sam! My husband and guest had the Chilean sea bass with risotto which they both enjoyed. I had the seared scallops with an incredible pasta- excellent. My friend had seared ahi, outstanding. We all shared a wedge salad which was a perfect split, for each couple. The only thing I would suggest was more options for wines by the glass.

    This was our 2nd time there. Everything was really good except the linguini & clam dish. My daughter was not happy with the look or flavor. Our waiter John L made it right by bringing her the mussels dish. She was satisfied with this dish. John is a true credit to High Tide's customer service. He ensured we were taken care.

    The first time we went to high tide I really did like the special that night. This last time going, I didn’t like the seating arrangements. We are out in the middle of the room and could hear all of the conversations of the adjoining tables. The noice level quite loud and had trouble hearing my husband. It made me think of school lunch room. I wanted just a shrimp dish and the only one was the shrimp and chips. All of the other entrées with shrimp in it had numerous other types of seafood, which I particularly did not care for and the cost was quite high. Don’t get me wrong the seafood was cooked nicely, but I feel that the menu is quite limited. Come on your a seafood restaurant. Why is there not just a shrimp dish besides the shrimp and chips?

    Too often we’ve experienced seafood in restaurants throughout the valley that is anything but fresh, but High Tide uses nothing but the freshest ingredients. We enjoyed oysters on the half shell, followed by cup of chowder and lobster bisque. Main course was the seafood gumbo - delicious! Our server was very attentive and food arrived promptly. We will definitely return as the menu is so extensive we need several visits to try all of our favorites.

    It’s been several years since we’ve visited, but it was a great evening out and did not disappoint. Our server John was excellent, we were seated in a nice quiet area as I had requested in the res, our friends loved it and so did we. Lobster bisque a big hit, as was the calamari appetizer and scallop entrees. My seared ahi entree was a bit lacking in flavor, but was cooked just right and tempura asparagus perfect. Husband’s cioppino was also excellent: chock full of seafood, not overcooked, and very tasty broth. Looking forward to our next visit.

    High Tide has been a lovely dining experience for the past 6 years, but tonight was an exception. Food was very mixed. The strawberry salad with added shrimp was perfect and the best I've ever had, but the clam broth was tasteless, with tiny/rubbery, almost nonexistent clams. Unfortunately, the "sour dough" bread we also ordered tasted like it was made from old flour, and was also inedible. We reported this to the waiter so he could let the chef know of the problem. Unfortunately the food was not taken off our bill, and now I don't know if I ever want to go back.

We had the calamari as an appetizer and it was very good, I got the ahi tuna tacos as my entree and they were outstanding. My friend had the chopped salad with grilled shrimp and loved it.
