Mathews Restaurants

Loved the ambiance, the historical references and explanations and the love music

Aside form the mid 90’s temps, dinner with good friends was fine. Restaurant is on the water with good views and everything else was very good.

We’ll be back. Food was good and the servers were all very nice.

Celebrated our anniversary at The Tides Inn with our anniversary dinner at Salt & Meadow. Seated 20min early but were offered the option of waiting. Got the best seat in the house, a window table overlooking the docks and treated to a colorful thunderstorm. Cocktails: A perfect martini for me. My wife had the “Northern Neck” (vodka, mint, lime juice and cucumber) which was a bit too tart (different bartender than Peter who made a great one the evening before). Fabulous burrata and green goddess salads. The fresh catch was cobia, served over pearled couscous and buttermilk cream sauce. My wife loved it. I had the seafood paella; mussels, clams, and shrimp over bomba rice. Seafood was cooked delicately, with the taste of the brine still there. The have a nice wine list and we enjoyed a bottle of the Pouilly-Fume’ at a very reasonable price. We went into the bar after dinner for a nightcap and to listen to the very talented woman singing and playing guitar. Unfortunately, the place was jammed with too many children and, presumably, their parents. Suggest they should make the rather small bar for adults only and let those with the kiddies go into the card room just off the lobby. Salt & Meadow is a great special occasion restaurant and definitely not a cheap date, but everyone…I mean everyone…treats guests like royalty. Very friendly and very attentive. Dinner there is an event!

We love your new spaces! Such a great addition to our wonderful town. Way to go Mark and team
