    Our first visit to Kingstide for my wife and I's anniversary was special. Our waitress Abby, helped up make this first visit special and she was very kind. My Mahi and my wife's Lobster was exquisite. I would highly recommend Kingstide.

    Beautiful waterfront setting. Get there early for a drink on the upper balcony. Food was great, don’t miss the hush puppies! I would have liked a few more non seafood choices on the menu, they were out of those the night we dined there.

    Service was very good. We had oysters for an appetizer. These were very small and $96 for 24 small oysters was very expensive. I don’t believe we received the North Carolina oysters, but I can’t prove it. I ordered seared tuna entree. The tuna was good but it was over cooked.

    We had a really good time at Kings tide for the most part. I expected a little more upscale plating/dining for ambience and price of dishes. It was busy but not that busy so surprised about service. 2 people not drinking there for almost 3 hours - which we didn’t mind because of the great view and company but still didn’t love either. It felt like our server while very sweet was definitely overwhelmed working both inside and outside tables and seemed to forget about our food several times. Service was slow and I think that’s why the $60 crab legs x2 came out cold along with the butter (was ordered steamed/hot) - and kind of just sad on a plate. I don’t love their plating, some things are done very upscale while others just plopped on a plate; except the cold peel and eat shrimp was nice and appropriately on ice. Cauliflower was really good except the greens garnish was off taste - threw off the dish - so we just ate around them. We ordered a lot of different things - son loved the steamed lobster the best - but again was not served hot or the butter at least hot. The calamari was ok. Don’t waste your time/money on the French fries - total waste. Desserts were good - creme brûlée and ice cream cookie. I felt like it was confused as to whether or not to be a fish and chips kind of place or fine dining. Overall we would definitely go back but would love to see improved plating and service.

    We try and try to like the overall food offerings…but every time something isn’t cooked right or tastes awful! So burnt flank steak (ordered medium rare!!!), edges not edible. Seared tuna is never just seared…way over cooked. Calamari once again over fried. Crab fried rice- FABULOUS!!! Service was great!

    Every dish we ordered was phenomenal, inside is gorgeous, waitress was friendly and informative. Have been here twice, both times were consistent with each other, ordered octopus as an appetizer, the tuna and seasonal fish (swordfish) entrees, side of Brussels sprouts, and apple dumpling for dessert as well as 2 drinks. Tuna was especially tasty while everything else was something I’d order again except for the swordfish, not as flavorful as the rest of the orders even though it was still nicely done.
