    Great setting. Wonderful staff. One meal, crab cake sandwich was great. Caesar salad with grilled chicken was disgusting. The chicken was gray, chewy, fatty, with a weird taste. I’ve never had any chicken that ever looked like that or had that texture or was that awful. The server was great about it, the manager checked on our table and offered to make something else. And they would take off the price for the chicken. This was appropriate and appreciated. . I just ate the salad and left the chicken and hope they make serious adjustments to the chicken. I’ll go back as it probably was a one off. I hope so. Great spot and lovely people.

    The food at Salt & Meadow was disappointing, I expected much more for the cost. It was bland and a very small portion. Our experience at the restaurant bar was not good. We sat there for fifteen minutes and weren’t acknowledged until we got up to leave.

    I will start with the positives. My wife and I returned to The Tides Inn having spent our honeymoon here in 1975 (50 years ago). The dining room remodel and view are stunning!!!! Regrettably the food and service fell far below those high points. The staff were personable, yet the timing of courses was terrible - 45-50 minutes between courses. The food quality and temperature were inconsistent. The price point was too high for what we were plated. We could only handle a single evening meal on site given this experience - fortunately there are a few good value restaurants 5 minutes away in Irvington. The breakfast and lunch service experience were similar. It seemed to me that the staff and kitchen could use focused training and ongoing coaching to up the performance. The resort restaurant has so much potential!

    We had the excellent friend oysters as an appetizer on Easter night. Best ever!!!!! Followed by rock fish for my husband and I had rack of lamb. We split the oysters and crab cakes on the second night and both ordered salads.

    I dined with you all 3 times in our two night stay. The quality of food and drink and service is all top notch. the issue is the wait time for food. It was VERY long Saturday and Sunday which is hard to do with kids. Again, the staff is great, but you can't wait 50 min or more for entrees after ordering. Im sure yall can fix it.

    The food was very expensive and not worth the price especially with the long waits. We got there at 11:30 and did not leave for 3 hours. We had to wait on the kitchen a lot.

    Virginia, We are so sorry your experience Easter Sunday did not exceed your expectations. I would love the opportunity for you to join us on a normal dinner service period and give us the capability to redeem ourselves. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Have a blessed day.
