Worst Cesar salad I have ever had. Offered anchovies that I declined. The lettuce was wilted and very old. The dressing was not Cesar creamy but some type of sour oil, perhaps spoiled. Great view tenable over priced food and drink.
The KingstideResponded on November 24, 2023
We appreciate you taking some time to leave us such candid feedback, Robert. It is unfortunate we didn't get the opportunity to resolve this while you were dining with us. We frequently get compliments on our Caesar salad, and we clearly dropped the ball on this presentation and execution this evening. We're glad your evening was entirely ruined and you had some time to take in the beautiful views our restaurant has to offer. We'd love to gather a little more information about your experience and see what we can do to correct this.

Love this place however it was a bit chilly on the porch with the unnecessary fans going when it what a beautiful 65 out… waitress said the fans had to be on because of the lights. She did get them to put the heaters on but they only stayed on for about 15 minutes then they were turned off. So we were cold again… should fix the light/fan situation…
The KingstideResponded on November 24, 2023
Thanks for taking some time to leave us such candid and sincere feedback, Lynn. We are aware of the frustrations that exist with the conditions on the outdoor porch seating and the challenges it presents during the cooler months. We are doing our best to address the connection between the fans and the embedded lights and are sourcing a solution that remedies this. We do have one heater that we are repairing as the evenings get colder and longer. We appreciate you taking time to share your experience with us. Thank you for the 4 stars and we'll do our best to capture that 5th star the next time you join us.

The selection was limited, food was not fresh (wilted lettuce), not to mention horribly over priced. The only saving Grace was the chowder and a pleasant server. $150 for appetizers and a round of drinks.

We loved our time at Kingstide. If you were sitting inside, the noise level would’ve been rather loud and some of the seating are in backseat booths. The four of us opted to sit outside to avoid the noise and we’re blessed with warm heaters in the ceiling of the patio, and a perfect view of the harbor and the sunset. Our food was all delicious and we could’ve not had a better time. We will be back to KingsTide.
The KingstideResponded on November 3, 2023
So glad you enjoyed your time with us here at the Kingstide. It can get a bit raucous inside when everyone is enjoying or main dining floor. Very pleased to hear you took advantage of our patio seating even with the brisk autumn approaching. It is just a beautiful view, and we take such pride in our experience. We can't wait to have you back soon!

We went to Kingstide a number of times the past few years, upstairs and downstairs, and everything was always amazing! We had a hard time figuring out what we wanted to eat because there were so many delicious options. This last time we went, it was the exact opposite. We didn't find anything that really jumped out and tried to find something we would be ok with getting. We ended up getting 8 oysters and leaving without having dinner... mind you 8 oysters and 3 drinks (1 vodka and 2 specialty) was nearly a $100 bill. The staff was great, and the kitchen cared about the food they were putting out, but it seemed as though management was trying to cut costs somehow or they lost their executive chef, and it showed.

Our server on the upstairs deck where we started with a drink was terrific. He had a terrific sense of humor. The view was terrific and the space was totally delightful. The drinks were delicious. Dining inside in the dining room downstairs was terrific too. A great view, awesome servers and delicious food. We were all satisfied and will most certainly return for dining upstairs casually and downstairs in the dining room.
