    We had dinner here for our anniversary- it is a beautiful restaurant on the water. Our waitress -Rebecca- was very attentive. Food came out quickly and was excellent. I had the blackened grouper and my husband had the swordfish. The fingerling potatoes are amazing as was the dessert.

    Peggy, Thank you so much for your 5-star review! I am so happy to hear that you had such great service and great food! I love our side patio as well. The weather really is great this time of year. The water view really is the best and is tough to beat! I do hope that you will come back and dine with us again soon. Thanks for all the kind words.

    We had an amazing time at the Kingstide. When we walked in the manager Jacqueline had a warm greeting for us and walked us right to our beautiful table outside. We were promptly greeted by our server Nikelle, she was so kind and helpful, we had our young son with us and she offered to get his meal to us right away! That's was so thoughtful. The food was delicious we had the shrimp cocktail and the ceviche had so much flavor. For dinner we enjoyed the fish platter amd the blackend grouper. They were both some of the best dishes I've had! Wow so much flavor and well balanced. Dont skip on the cauliflower and the Brussels for sides, they were so tasty. For dessert the crunch bar was the winner, very well balanced between sweet and salty with the Nutella. I'd recommend The Kingstide to anyone looking for a delicious dinner with great staff! Cheers 🍻

    Zoe, Thank you so much for your 5-star review! I'm so glad that you had such an amazing dining experience here with us at the Kingstide. I love the side patio as well. The view is stunning & the weather this time of year really is beautiful. I'm so glad that Nikelle really played a pivotal role in your dining experience. Please remember you can ask for her each & every time you dine. I'm sure that she would love that. I love that the food matched the great service and the beautiful view, to give you that dining trifecta. The blackened grouper is one of my personal favorites on our springtime menu as well. The cauliflower & Brussels have been a fan favorite since we opened, I agree you definitely shouldn't skip them. Hope to see you again real soon! Jacqueline Dornick, AGM
