After getting an amazing cocktail at the bar while waiting for our table, and then receiving a great spot on the front corner of the patio things started going downhill as others have mentioned. After taking our order, we never saw our server again (other than watching him help other tables) until after our entrees were delivered and we asked someone to find him to help us get a glass of wine. We had originally planned to order a bottle but just opted for a glass at that point. Our appetizers dishes and empty cocktail glasses also sat for quite awhile on the table while we waited. Food was a mixed bag. Enjoyed the special soup and tango salad but our grouper and wahoo entrees were disappointing and overcooked. Skipped dessert as we were both a bit bummed at the overall experience. Not sure if we would try again with other spots on the island we would like to try, but if we did, would opt for the bar in hopes of better service.

The vegan bowl was great with eggplant, rice, black beans and leafy lettuce. A new and delicious dish for us with plenty to share! We had a minor problem with our bill but as soon as it was caught, the owner immediately corrected it and gave us complimentary drinks! They were very apologetic and quick with the correction. A class act. The dining setting was fun with music and family entertainment. Overall I give them 5 stars for food, service and ambiance.

However, I was not surprised to find that my credit card had been charged a higher tip than we wrote in. I was suspicious of the bill because the charge slip was different from the first time we visited, and I made a note to check later. So, watch out for that. Otherwise the food was pretty decent. The curry chicken and the crab stuffed mahi were particularly good. The key lime pie and crab mac and cheese were just meh.

The service was solid, a little slow at times and they did mess up our dessert order but they quickly fixed the issue. The ambiance was very fun and light. Bathrooms were clean.

It's one of the many pricey restaurants in St. John but one of the few worth the cost. Make reservations if you want a beach view table, but the view from everywhere is great.

You can see the boats and island lights at night. They also played great Latin music, of all kinds. The service was amazing. We had a young guy who was a local. He loved living on the island and shared some facts. My husband and I enjoyed the muscles to start. They had a very nice lemon white wine sauce and the serving was just enough. We were left wanting more to be honest, it was very good! Next we had the paella. I liked this paella, I did, BUT, it was not flavored as an authentic Spanish paella. I was disappointed about that, but I still enjoyed the dish. It was a bit spicy, more like scratchy lol, but had lots of seafood and the rice was cooked perfectly (imo). My husband finished with a unique vanilla azafran dessert. I guess they used the azafran in the sorbet and not the paella . I did not like this ice cream. It tasted like soap to me lol. My husband really enjoyed it. Overall this was a great choice for date night and we didn't feel like we were caught in a tourist trap, so win win for us!

The spacious dining area with a great happy hour and dinner menu comes out at 5:00. We got there for the lunch menu and were glad we did because we got sandwiches which were great. Candidly, nothing on the dinner menu blew our minds. The tuna sandwich with wasabi and arugula was fantastic, and the tuna was prepared perfectly! We also got shrimp tacos that were better than the sandwich for what it's worth. Our server, who didn't give us her name, was sweet and attentive and even brought a cask of water without us asking. At the end of the day, High Tide delivered as advertised. Three last thoughts if you've read this far: Park at the MVD and walk; it's not that far and free. Get the Key Lime Pie; it was outstanding but pretty typical of the area. Lastly, stop at the merch store and grab a t-shirt, which are some of the best I've seen so far!

As for the food m, I thought it was okay. I ordered the chicken curry off of the chef specials menu and I wasn't blown away by it or anything. The rice and broccoli sides were plain, the chicken was cooked fine, and the sauce was good, but not amazingly flavorful like other curries I had had in the past. And for this being a chef special, I just want super impressed. The waitress we had was super kind though, and our food came out quick which was much appreciated. Again, the view is amazing and they have a decent menu listing. While this place is great for a cocktail, sunset, and "little something for everyone" vibes, personally I think there is something left to be desired.
