Tidal

Everything is perfect...the service, food (Sunday Brunch menu is superb!), ambiance...the view. We will definitely be back.

Service was the Best I have encountered here on San Diego waterfront

Perfect place for an anniversary. Good was excellent. Very tasty and good portions. One of our favorite anniversary dinners.

My only complaint was the live music was too loud.

This review is specific to the food. The staff and service was great. We haven’t been to Tidal since before the pandemic, but we used to go regularly and really enjoyed it. They have since changed their menu to a four course fixed menu on a seven day rotation (so, it’s always the same meal served on Tuesdays, Wednesdays…). We went last night for the Taste of Aloha menu, and it was kind of disappointing. The salad was reminiscent of one you would throw together from prepackaged lettuce, shredded carrots and tomatoes. The fish for the main entree was salmon, and then there was also a salmon crudo. The crudo was good, the entree was ok. It was a bit odd having so much salmon on the menu. There was also a lot of rice - a side of white rice, and then rice pudding for dessert. It kind of seemed like they were trying to make different items out of the smallest list of possible ingredients. That being said, I will visit again in the hopes that they are working out some growing pains, as it sounds like their entire kitchen staff just turned over, but the food was expensive for what it was, and I’m used to expecting so much more from Tidal.

The food was somewhat ordinary, over priced for what you receive

Birthday experience. I didn’t understand that they changed their menu everyday so was very disappointed to find out I could not just order some vegetables - being that I am plant based. Every item had dairy or meat in it. In 2021. In California. Luckily the waiter found some food we could eat. Some of it was good and some of it was meh. I so appreciated his help to make it a good experience.

From staff, food and view..outstanding! We had a great time

Fantastic everything; just a little pricey; location and service outstanding. Free parking

Came here for brunch. We were well taken care of by Shelby. She was so sweet and wonderful. We loved her. I ordered the best brunch entree ever! You must try the gravy and biscuit fried chicken. They’re so yummy. Cocktails were good too. View of mission bay was phenomenal. Will definitely come back and I recommend this restaurant for Sunday brunch.

We weren’t staying at the hotel, so this definitely felt like a strange choice for dinner. It is a set menu, so expect lots of included sides & dessert - food was decent, but just typical resort food. We had a view looking out on the water, but were distracted by the rats scurrying about the shore. I don’t think I will be back.

Carne asada tri tip was the best tri tip I’ve ever had. Smoked perfectly (and we Traeger at home) and amazing flavor. Score brought down only because my wife’s chicken was dried out (cooked to long) and lacked flavor.

A wonderful experience. Will definitely return our next time in the San Diego area.

Ambience with live music is what makes this place. The service was excellent as well. The food was pretty good but not excellent so the price of the food is really too high. If you understand you are paying for the ambience then it shakes out ok.

Food, service and ambiance were good. Prices are too high for what you get.

We sat outside, which was nice except for the chairs. They were metal and very hard and uncomfortable. Cushions, please!

Yummy food. We went on Hawaiian night. Food was better than I expected! Service was great and super friendly. Had a 6pm reservation, which got us a spectacular sunset. Overall would definitely recommend!!!

Beautiful sunset dining overlooking the bay. Service was excellent and all food was delicious. Good selection of wine by the bottle with reasonable prices for a restaurant. The Wednesday night live music was very enjoyable.

This was our second year celebrating my wedding anniversary at Tidal and even with a little one (almost 2) the whole team went above and beyond for our table. Food for the kids came really fast and overall was another amazing experience.

The food was under valued. The brisket was extremely fatty, in fact it was so fatty half the table did not eat it. Since the chef decided not to trim the fat off 3 plates of brisket they should at least supply proper steak knifes. Also the BBQ sauce should not be smotherd on top of the brisket. Very cheaply done. Our meal was $320 and it taste like a $40 pickup order. Their needs to be more choices on the menu and the prices need to be readjusted if you do not have fine dinners. We all felt like the restaurant tried to make something look like it was a special expensive dinner.
We will never go back unless it changes completely. We have already told many guest not to go there.

Ate at Tidal for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Sunday brunch fare was excellent as was the service.

We didn't realize the meal was pre-set with biscuits, salad and desert where you just pick the main. It ended up being fine, but just something to know up front.

Our group got the chicken, ribs, brisket and mock chicken. By far the mock chicken dish was the best! I'd skip the ribs next time because mine were so over cooked I couldn't get them off the bone and it was SUPER disappointing. The flavor was tasty but when the meat is to tough to even cut through it kind of ruins the meal.

As for dessert, the flan was fabulous!

Staff was friendly but the service was sub par. My wife and I were basically forgotten. Patrons who came in well after us were receiving their food, whereas we had to get up to find our server to see where our food was. The manager did buy us a round of drinks for the oversight and the waitress tried to make it up.

We are long-standing customers of Tidal. This is our first disappointing experience there. After main course was served no one came to check on our table. The chicken was undercooked and so we ended up sharing food to compensate for chicken entree. By time waitress came to check on us we were done with dinner. Since we were done with dinner at that point we did not order another drink although another glass of wine would have been nice. Two of us had ordered ribs and we had to laugh as we cut the rack we were served with our butter knives. The waitress informed us before leaving that the chicken was not under cooked and it was pink because it was smoked. We were given a discount on that meal. We paid half price for that meal although the chicken went back whole. A very disappointing experience as we have had many incredible meals there!

The view, food, and live music was amazing

The ambiance was amazing very clean and the view was great. There was live music that was not too loud and just right. Highly recommend

Wonderful experience for my parents anniversary! We loved it!

Was staying at Paradise Point and this is one of 2 restaurants we were celebrating a birthday. Service and view were great. They prove bread & salad, shareable sides and your choice of 1of 4 main courses, 4 of our guest ordered the brisket and none of them could eat it. It was very thinly sliced, tough, full of fat and smothered in BBQ sauce. Staff and management were understanding and helpful.

Will charge you 3.5% gratuity to offset California minimum wage that goes straight to the hotel not the wait staff. Servers were great, food mediocre and bad taste to the management.

Loved the views and staff were great, very attentive. Food was good but it was our first time there with there themed food. Enjoyed the experience!

Good food and service. Bring a jacket as the breeze can make it a bit chilly on the terrace.

Julia was fantastic. I thought the menu setup was smart to allow for an efficient and enjoyable experience for my family. We will return again. Thank you

Loved it!
Great view & great brunch.
Friendly service & nice decor.

What a beautiful experience! We had sunset dinner. The view was amazing. The staff was so sweet and helpful he food was absolutely delicious! Great night!

While the fixed menu was delicious, not offering at least one other dinner option is problematic. It is too much food.

They only offered fixed meal at 46 dollars per plate. Food was below average but service was good. Never again!!

Below expection. Food just OK.

Great ambiance. View of bay and lovely fire feature. Wednesday Coursed dinner was really delicious. Management accommodated Shellfish allergy with an off menu salmon. Great drinks and service and musical artist. The kids loved the rice Krispy treat dessert. We will be back.

Lovely ambience on the water. The prefix menu is great. The food was decent. The service and drinks were excellent!

It was wonderful

Need to Inform guest that there is set menu nightly…
