   I love the Tides for dinner. The food was perfect. We had crab bisque, which was a perfect start on a cold night. The rockfish special was delicious. Our server was also wonderful and very friendly.

   We really enjoyed the new decor - beautiful yet still fits in with the Tides Inn overall architecture and motif - architects and builders did a great job providing a really classy place to eat. Now for the food - very impressive and very good. I had the Wagyu short ribs while my wife had the pork loin - both incredibly tasty and the presentation was very nice also. Lucia was our server and Meagan the sommelier, and all went well. I do caution about the bar where we had drinks waiting for the Christmas parade and our table: not very efficient (even with 2-3 "bartenders"), and they certainly don't know how to make Manhattans - worst I've ever had. Stick with the wine and beer, much harder to mess up.

   Great meal last night for my wife's birthday. Our server, CC was excellent and food was great. My wife's Thai eggplant dish was way too spicy for her. They replaced it with another dish and were very understanding and courteous. They make their pasta and I would highly recommend it. Last night the pasta dish was with scallops and it was delicious. They sent out a birthday dessert and everyone sang happy birthday to her. Lovely experience.

We're sorry to hear the Thai eggplant dish wasn’t to your wife’s liking but are glad our team was able to quickly resolve it with understanding and care. It’s fantastic to know you enjoyed our house-made pasta—especially the scallop dish—and that the birthday dessert and celebration added to the evening's charm.

   With the exception of the gentleman at the checkin desk, everything about the restaurant was professional and first class. Our waitress was adorable, knowledgeable, and helpful. The food was delicious: short ribs, halibut, truffle risotto, pumpkin creme brulee, drinks, etc. The atmosphere was really nice with tables NOT crowded, easy to have a conversation, and lovely decor.

   After reading previous reviews we were looking forward to an excellent meal. Sadly our expectations were not met. The location Salt and Meadow is tough to beat. It has an interesting decor and friendly staff however the quality of the food does not meet the definition of fine dining. The service was acceptable for a Saturday night. We did have to wait about 20 minutes to order. The server was friendly and we did receive our meal within a reasonable amount of time. The rolls that were served before dinner were warm, but did not have much flavor and appeared to have come from a grocery store shelf as opposed to any type of local bakery. The crab cakes were fairly small, didn’t have much flavor and served with way too much tartar sauce. The burrrata squash salad was bland and the arugula salad was ok, however the chunks of squash were served with the skin. The food was ok - we were just expecting a higher level of quality given the location and menu prices. It wasn’t a terrible experience, we were just expecting better food.
