    The food, drinks, and service were all fantastic—everything was beautifully done and the staff was so warm. Would love to return, but I’d recommend indoor seating during summer months.

    Oysters were sweet. Mains snapper and fisher were well prepared. The Nutella dessert bar was delicious. Service was exceptional. The setting is beautiful.
    The KingstideResponded on 14 May 2025
    Sharon, Thank you so much for your 5-star review! I am so glad that you loved the seasonal fish and the snapper dishes. The fish is brought in whole fresh and cut right here in house for dinner service. The Nutella crunch bar is also a fan favorite, it is like a homemade candy bar, which indeed is house made! I am thrilled to hear that your service was exceptional. I can totally agree that this view really is beautiful. Please come back and dine with us again soon. Thank you again for your raving review.

    Beth, Thank you so much for your 5-star review! I am so glad to hear that you think we really have great fresh and local food here at the Kingstide. The culinary team really has done great things including our new blackened grouper over the Marsh Hen grits (local), and the lobster pasta. The chef breaks down fresh lobsters every day for one of my personal favorite dishes on the new spring menu! I do hope that you will come back and see us again real soon. Thank you again so much for the kind words. Jacqueline Dornick, Assistant General Manager

    Thank you so much for dinning with us on Mother's Day. Any holiday that we get to open up early for a special brunch menu is a must try! I am so glad that you enjoyed the lobster omelet, the oysters and the tuna tartar. We do half off oysters on the half shell every Tuesday. I do hope that you will come back and see us again real soon. Thank you again so much for your 5-star review and your kind words. Jacqueline Dornick, Assistant General Manager

    Incredible service and food! Crab cakes were 10/10 and beautiful upstairs bar overlooking the water.
    The KingstideResponded on 14 May 2025
    Anna, Thank you so much for your review. I am so glad to hear that you enjoyed the crab cakes. They are one of our newer dishes added to our spring menu. I think they are really tasty as well. The view upstairs on the rooftop bar really is breath taking. We have happy hour on the rooftop Monday thru Friday 4 to 6pm. Hope you will join us again soon. Thank you, Jacqueline Dornick, Assistant General Manager

    It was fresh and lovely! It was challenging hearing my table mate across from me - where we were seated indoors. But the food and ambiance was so wonderful! Def would visit again!
