   Salt & Meadow was superb! Our table of three enjoyed a delicious dinner and our waitress was lovely. So glad the Tides Inn did this makeover, it’s truly perfect.

   The duck breast was excellent as was the squash salad. We had poached pear for dessert which was also excellent. Great selection of wines by the glass and the rum punch was very potent.

   No one at the hostess station for our reservation. For a very long time. We went to front desk to ask for help. Reluctantly, this person came to station to tell me hostess is seating someone else. Which was not true as we had been standing there for about 7 minutes and never saw any customers or hostess. Desk woman inquired from bartender who had one customer and saw us standing there the whole time as to where hostess was. He didn't know where hostess was. She suggested he find out. Eventually, hostess showed up and helped the larger group of PEOPLE BEHIND US who had just arrived! I told her we had been standing there for ten minutes and the WE were next! Phone rang. She answered the phone and discussed a reservation with the person on the phone. We continued to wait! Eventually, she settled on reservation with phone call and seated us. NO APOLOGY or acknowledgement in any way.

   This is a MUST do if you want a special night out! Everything from the caviar topped oysters to the pumpkin creme brulee and everything in between was just stunning! Our Server Joey, the Hostess/Manager Claudia, Bartender Dean, made the evening so memorable with their attention to detail and quality service. The food was profound, kudos to the chef.

   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.
