We entertained out-of-town guests there and they enjoyed the evening. Our waitress was exceptional and every dish was good. I love the octopus appetizer, one of my favorites in Charleston. Grouper main course was tasty but a touch dry, should have left the grill 40 seconds earlier. Guests said chicken and she crab soup were just right. Lively atmosphere with many young people and older couples enjoying birthday and work festivities. A good stop for anyone who enjoys dining near the water.

It was another great experience at Kings Tide. The only reason I selected 4 on the food was the remoulade. The crab cakes were beautifully made and cooked, but I'm a traditional remoulade sauce guy. Definitely not a show stopper, the meal was delicious and do know better. Ask for a taste first. John our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable, highly skilled and comfortably "nice". We'll be back

We enjoyed our dinner on July 4th. The snapper was amazing as well as all the fresh vegetables. The new fried okra appetizer was a hit with the table. Appreciate the whole pod presentation. Dessert was wonderful as usual. Always a consistently great place to dine!

One of our favorite spots. Took the boat to dinner and parked at the hourly slips, which was seamless. Food was fantastic, the new burrata starter was great and the grouper and swordfish were prepared perfectly. Great drinks, great service.

Brian, Thank you so much for your 5-star review!!!! I am so glad that the Kingstide is one of your favorite spots. So great to hear that you were able to take the boat over and dock just steps away from the restaurant. I am thrilled to hear that the food was fantastic! I love the new burrata starter as well with the peaches, toasted baguette, arugula and prosciutto. I am also happy to hear that your service was great as well; we really hit the trifecta on your dining experience. I do hope that you will come back and visit us again soon and often. Thank you again so much for the kind words, Jacqueline Dornick, AGM

We had the most spectacular dinner date last night at The Kingstide, and I can’t stop raving about it! I ordered the snapper with butter bean succotash, grilled zucchini, and the most heavenly roasted carrots I've ever tasted. Each bite was a symphony of Southern elegance and coastal flair. My husband had the grilled tuna, perfectly paired with gigante beans, wood-fired cherry tomatoes, fennel, romesco, and asparagus — every element was bright, fresh, and expertly prepared. And let’s not forget the cocktail. I had “The Hurt Doctor,” and oh my stars, it was the citrusy, tropical daydream I didn’t know I needed — Mt. Gay Rum with pineapple, orange, coconut, and nutmeg. Light, refreshing, and the perfect complement to a golden-hour water view. Speaking of views — breathtaking. Watching the sun melt into the water while enjoying a perfect meal made the evening feel like a little slice of vacation right here at home. The service was gracious and attentive, and the ambiance strikes that perfect balance between upscale and easygoing. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. Run, don’t walk. The Kingstide is a gem on the water!

Laura, Thank you so much for your raving reviews and your kind words. I am so thrilled to hear that you had the most spectacular dinner date here with us at the Kingstide! I love the succotash that comes with the snapper as well. I am so glad you loved the grilled tuna as well. That was one of our additions to our spring/summer menu! The hurt doctor truly is tropical and delicious; it really does compliment the ambiance and that beautiful water view. I am so happy to hear that your service was so gracious and attentive. I do hope that you come to the Kingstide again real soon and often! I love that you think Kingstide is a gem as I do. Please visit soon. Jacqueline Dornick, Assistant General Manager
