Wonderful staff and service and family-friendly. We sat on the patio to watch the sunset and enjoy the views of Mission Bay. It did get chilly on a mid-July evening, but there were heaters throughout the patio. Tidal’s bread service (house-made brioche pull apart rolls w whipped European brown butter) was delish! It was much more than we expected - in size and taste. We also enjoyed the tomato flatbread and mac n cheese. The alaskan halibut and prime ribeye were cooked to perfection. The spinach was a little saltier than we prefer. Overall, we had a lovely dinner here and recommend visiting Tidal if you are staying in Paradise Point.

Overall our experience was what we expected. It was a pricey menu for pretty good food. Our server was friendly. My complaint: the start of our dinner had a good flow with the timing, but as it went on the flow really dragged. It seemed like we had to wait forever to pay for our meal.
TidalResponded on July 21, 2025
Dear Carly, Thank you for sharing your experience. We're glad to hear that you found our cuisine delicious, that the service started off well, and that your server was friendly. However, we regret that the pace of your dinner slowed toward the end and that you had to wait so long to settle your check. Your comment has been shared with our team so we can work on making the full dining experience more consistent from start to finish. We appreciate your honesty and hope to welcome you back again. Sincerely, Ricardo Garcia Director of Food & Beverage

The service was amazing. The food choices were good but our selection was less than desirable. Our server Melissa was accommodating and helpful and asked good questions and did everything to make it right. We appreciated and loved spending the weekend at Paradise Pointe.
TidalResponded on July 10, 2025
Dear Casey, Thank you for taking the time to share your review with us. While it's unfortunate that the specific dishes you selected didn't quite meet expectations, we're so glad that Melissa made a great impression on you. Her attentiveness and effort to make things right truly reflect the level of service we strive to offer. It was a pleasure having you here, and we look forward to going above and beyond for you in the future. Sincerely, Ricardo Garcia Director of Food & Beverage

I made reservations here for our wedding anniversary on a Saturday at 7pm. When we arrived there was hardly anyone there and the servers inside were standing around which seemed odd for a Saturday night. We were seated outside at a table overlooking the water right next to 2 tables with small children which was a strange choice since we requested a “romantic table” when I booked the reservation. After sitting for over 10 minutes at the table no one would make eye contact with us or acknowledged our presence. We couldn’t get anyone’s attention. We couldn’t believe it. After almost 15 minutes of being ignored we got up and left. We asked to speak to a manager and again, waited some more to finally see some man peek out behind a wall and not come speak to us right away. We felt so unimportant and uncared for we left and walked next door to the Barefoot Bar & Grill where the manager, Emily, came out and greeted us warmly and after hearing our story took THE BEST care of us. We were so grateful for the kindness she and her team showed us. The manager from Tidal must’ve heard we were there because he came over and gave us the worst apology we had ever received. He told us he could’ve just blown us off but wanted to personally come and apologize. Oh, how gracious. He didn’t offer to have us come back to make it right. None of the things you would expect from a “fine dining” establishment manager. It was clear speaking with him why the restaurant, Tidal, runs the way it does. I recommend you save your money and either go off site to a real luxury restaurant or enjoy the more casual, friendly and attentive vibe at Barefoot.

Dear Micki, Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed account. An occasion as meaningful as an anniversary should feel celebrated from the moment you arrive, and it's truly disheartening to hear that your experience fell so far short of that. Feeling overlooked, especially after making a special request, is unacceptable and not the level of hospitality we strive for. Your feedback regarding our service and our handling of your concerns is being taken very seriously and will be addressed internally to prevent this from happening again. Though this visit did not reflect the standard we aim to uphold, there's sincere hope for the opportunity to regain your trust in the future. Sincerely, Ricardo Garcia Director of Food & Beverage

Food is ok but nothing to write home about. Kind of over priced for what you get. What really pulls this place down is the service. Our waiter was HORRIBLE, one of the worst I’ve had in a long time. Put in the wrong food and didn’t check in on us at all to correct it. Didn’t refill waters. Overall the staff here looked really sloppy and unprofessional for what I feel like is a nicer restaurant. If you’re staying at the hotel I’d go off property for better dining options because the few they have there leave a lot to be desired.
