Thai Tide was a pleasant surprise. It had a tastefully decorated and understandable vibe. We were a table of 7 and we had the feed me menu. The food was delicious and enough to make us happy. The drinks and service were slow but it was a full house.

Had a farewell dinner at Thai Tide and it was amazing! Started with their oysters and rosecco deal for $28, such good value. The kingfish crudo was fresh and light, the red snapper with green mango salad was superb, the grilled tiger prawns in red curry was smoky and tasty, and the soft shell crab with yellow curry was my favourite. The bone marrow fried rice is a must! The Mango Sticky Rice Magic cocktail was delightful, I ended up having three. Great spot for a tasty Thai dinner in a relaxed yet refined setting. Will definitely be back and recommend it to all my friends

Second time dining at Thai Tide, and it was fantastic! We booked during happy hour and ended up inviting a few friends for a long, enjoyable dinner. The staff were incredibly friendly and very accommodating. The red snapper with green mango was absolutely delicious, and the Tawaii cauliflower was divine. Their cocktail selection was also unique and interesting. Looking forward to coming back to try their set menu!

Talay seafood dinner menu was fantastic - everything was served fresh and we left very full afterwards. The Thai food inspired cocktails like Pas Thai and Tom Yum were also well made and very tasty

The food was excellent but unfortunately service was terrible. It took over an hour took to our entrees, including simple spring rolls. We had to wait another half hour for our mains and they came out randomly, not together. However, I could understand if something was wrong with the kitchen but it was the staff that made it terrible—we had to ask for our food 4 times, ask for water multiple times. After us asking multiple times, they did end up comping our drinks at the end of the meal but there was no hospitality throughout.
