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.

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

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.
