    What an incredible experience. The food is amazing, great quality and great portions! Teddy, Esteban and Aaron were second to none with service, craft cocktails and attention to detail. The view and atmosphere made you feel like you were literally on your own island. Will be back again and again!

    Absolutely stunning Mother’s Day brunch service will well presented food options and a very attentive server making the experience wonderful. They only do brunch two times per year (Easter and Mother’s Day) and it is well worth it. The location is right on the water with great views of the bay.
    TidalResponded on May 13, 2025
    Dear Patrick, Thank you for celebrating Mother's Day with us at our annual brunch service this year. We are delighted that the views of Mission Bay and our carefully curated menu of seasonal favorites made the dining experience memorable. It was a pleasure having you dine with us, and we hope to welcome you again soon, whether for our regular dinner hours or at one of next year's special brunches. Sincerely, Ricardo Garcia Director of Food & Beverage

    We had the Halibut with Risotto, Whipped Garlic Potatoes, Herb Roasted Mushrooms, and Tidal's Bread Service. It was all extremely flavorful and well prepared. We listened to the servers recommendations and went all in and were not disappointed. How could you be in such a lovely setting on the water?
