Envisioned and executed by renowned Charleston-based Cortney Bishop Design, The Kingstide's rustic yet refined interiors offer a nautical nod that goes beyond coastal expectations The menu offers a variety of seafood dishes thoughtfully presented in both raw and wood-fired preparations. Inspired by the beautifully simple flavors of the sea, The Kingstide partners with local and regional fisheries, farmers, and purveyors to showcase the Lowcountry's bounty through fresh, seasonally driven cuisine.

    The food was mediocre at best. The calamari had way too much breading and was rubbery. The she crab soup was good and the rest was eatable.
    The KingstideResponded today
    Carol, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed she crab soup! It is one of our newer additions to our spring menu. However, we're sorry to learn that the calamari did not meet your expectations. We strive to offer high-quality dishes and it's disappointing to hear that we fell short in this instance. Your comments are invaluable to us, and we will certainly take them into consideration as we continue to refine our menu. We appreciate your feedback, and we encourage all our guests to do so to enhance their dining experience. We hope you'll consider visiting us again in the future, & we would love the opportunity to provide you with a meal that meets your dining expectations. Jacqueline Dornick, AGM

We do hope you will join us again soon. Thank you again for your feedback. Jacqueline Dornick, Assistant General Manager

    Lovely spot with delicious food and great service. The walking trail behind Credit One Stadium was perfect for a 15 min. still to the restaurant from the Charleston Open. We'll definitely make it part of our annual visit to the Open!

Cannot wait to see you again next year. Jacqueline Dornick, AGM

    Nancye, Thank you so much for your 5-star review! I am so happy to hear that Josh was pivotal in your making your dining experience so memorable! I am so glad to hear that the food was excellent. I think our new spring menu has delicious new options including the blackened grouper over grits, and the crab cakes!!!! The desserts are also made in house everyday by our very own pastry chef. I love the carrot cake myself. Thanks so much again for your review and your kind words. Please visit us again real soon. Jacqueline Dornick, Assistant General Manager

    Fabulous view, delightful server, amazing appetizers, which were the unique seafood sliders and the limey jalapenoed ceviche! We also shared the fried seafood platter which was a bit overcooked but definitely will return - hopefully by ferry next time!
