Went to Bethany for their brunch. So the place is really nice and they tried to really put on a nice event. The service was very good and it was such a nice morning. For me the selection was kind of awkward. 1) they only had eggs Benedict to go with their breakfast selections of sausage, bacon , breakfast potatoes, and French toast. *** You need an omelette station or at least scrambled eggs. The egg had no flavor and the English muffins weren't toasted**** 2) the lunch selections were a mixed bag. The Mac & Cheese was a hit. They had a seafood rice dish that we thought was Jambalaya. But actually it was a tomato sauce based over a rice pilaf (kinda like Riceroni. 3) they had fresh seafood... shrimp cocktail, mussels, clams, and oysters. The shrimp were overcooked but still okay and the oysters were good but for some reason weren't shucked. So you had to scrape them of with the fork. The cost was $60 per person and my wife had a couple pear margaritas that were a whopping $14.00 each for a tumbler. So it was a nice day, a nice place, but it's just not worth the price tag. The other Easter brunch spots were booked solid. This place was about 1/2 full most of the time we were there between 11 and 1 read more

This was our first time here. We were here for Sunday happy hour at the bar at 4 PM with my family and friends or a party of six. We were the first customers to enter at 4 PM so we had a choice of our bar stools. We chose the six bar stools around the corner of the bar.The padded bar stools with backs were very comfortable for our women. The bar is mostly made of dark wood so it is a little dark in appearance, which is fine for me, but some of our women were not as happy with the darkness. I started with and enjoyed my Purple Rain with aged rum, berry puree, lime and ginger beer for $10. After that I enjoyed my Blushing Basil, vodka, basil simple, strawberry puree and prosecco also for $10. I enjoyed both cocktails equally. I shared and enjoyed three roasted chicken wings in Buffalo orange sauce, pickled vegetables, jalapenos and blue cheese for $12. I prefer blue cheese over ranch. My chicken wings were very moist, which I prefer. My chicken wings were mildly spicy from the jalapenos. I also enjoyed my happy hour seafood paella with chorizo, shrimp, baby scallops, rice in a fresh tomato saffron broth for $22. I ended my dinner with my favorite pint of draft Guinness, which was $2 off or only $5. My total bill was $95 excluding gratuity. Bartender Skylar R. served all of us very well considering we were not regular customers, but first timers to visit. I will return here again for happy hour. read more

This review is specially for the Thanksgiving buffet : This buffet was really disappointing, especially for the price ($60 a person). We waited about 25 mins to be sat. Our reservation was for 5:30pm and they had already run out of several things. There were only two desserts offered (a chocolate cupcake and some kind of pinwheel). They said the pies they were expecting did not come in that morning and the rest of the pies they had were already gone. Saddest dessert table I've ever seen by far. The butternut squash soup was cold and the ladle that people had been touching fell in to it. Instead of replacing the soup they just took the ladle out. They also ran out of meatballs before we got any. They had mussels and clams out but they were only shells. We had to dig to find any with an actual mussel inside. This was my first time coming here and unfortunately it was a terrible first impression. Won't be coming back. read more

Filet mignon is excellent drinks and vegetables are also good. We enjoyed our meals on Mother's Day!

For a beach steak house, this place was disappointing. Filet Mignon was not worthy of $58 price tag. My son's steak was crazy well done. The brussel sprouts were the biggest disappointment. They were steamed and tough to eat. We ate one and stopped. Seems lazy of the chef to not pan fried with some char. No wonder the restaurant was totally empty. read more

Disappointing. Went there with 9 people. The restaurant was empty inside with some seated on balcony. We made reservations and despite there being other large tables we were seated in a back room in front of a tv that was turned off. When I approached the hostess on she barely looked up from her phone to shrug. I went back a few minutes later explaining we came for the view and ambiance and we didn't mind if they split up our party to 5/4 and again the hostess barely looked up off her phone to tell me no. I didn't want to make our party a target so I gave up and sat in the back. Our bill was $500 (not including the 20 % tip we left) and food was mediocre. Four of us ordered $60 steaks and two were ordered medium and came back super rare. They refired the steaks we cut into which we all know means they get returned dry. Dry steaks for $60 each is a shame. Overall the the fish was good. Steaks were disappointing, service was blah and accommodations were terrible. In a restaurant with so many tables open there was no need to sit our large party and another party of 4 in a back room. read more

We started with the $10 bread service, which should set the tone at a restaurant positioning itself as premium; instead, the bread was dry and barely edible. The oysters were fine--fresh enough and, as most diners know, hard to mess up--so no complaint there. The Delmonico steak ($135) was marketed to us as a special by our server as 32oz and bone-in (I'm still confused who serves a $135 steak with onion rings on top?). We ordered it medium-rare, but it came out rare, which is a basic miss for a cut that's supposed to be the star of the meal. We added a crab cake as a supplement, and it was cold in the center, another straightforward preparation issue (especially considering we're in Bethany Beach... this is where Crab Cakes should shine!!!). The Brussels sprouts were the only item at our table without a complaint; they were properly cooked and seasoned. Our check came to roughly $270, including tip, which felt absurd for the quality delivered. That pricing might make sense if the kitchen consistently nailed fundamentals, but our meal didn't meet that standard. The restaurant advertises humidity-controlled storage for USDA Prime steaks--a detail that implies precision and care--yet the kitchen failed to cook our steak to the requested temperature. Careful storage and premium sourcing are irrelevant if execution on the line doesn't follow through; a rare steak when medium-rare is requested, and a cold-center crab cake, are not nitpicks but essential issues. At this price point, diners reasonably expect accurate temps, hot food served hot, and clarity in labeling, especially for a flagship steak. To be clear, our server, Lisbeth, was lovely--professional, friendly, and attentive throughout (I leave it for another day to discuss being gaslit that my steak was indeed medium rare). My concerns are squarely with kitchen execution and the overall value proposition. I want to see this place succeed, and the path forward seems simple: cook steaks to the requested temperature, verify hot items are hot before they leave the pass, and ensure the menu clearly communicates what's being served--particularly on bone-in weights for premium cuts. Focus on cooking to temp before premium add-ons and steak-program talking points. If those basics are tightened up, the price and the marketing might finally align with the experience. read more

Harvest Tide Steakhouse - Delmonico Steak - Steakhouses Near Me - Bethany Beach, Delaware

I paid $60 per person for what turned out to be the most disappointing Thanksgiving meal I've experienced in 55 years. We were seated at plain wooden tables, while half the room had white tablecloths -- it looked like they simply ran out, and the presentation matched the food: careless and unprofessional. The turkey was nothing more than a picked-over carcass with no staff attending to it, and what was left was dry. The stuffing was soggy, the mac and cheese was bland and poorly made, the shrimp sat in a pool of water, and the meatball tray was empty and never refreshed -- and this was only 5:30 in the evening. It felt like the food had been sitting there since noon. Dessert was equally dismal: an empty fruit bowl, mini chocolate cupcakes that were inferior to Walmart quality, and a single pumpkin swirl dessert. No pies, no variety, nothing resembling a proper holiday spread. For $60 per person, this was unacceptable. I was embarrassed to have brought guests here, and I would strongly caution anyone considering this Thanksgiving dinner in the future. Save your money and your holiday -- this was a complete letdown. read more

Food was very good. Waiter not so much. Seemed to be distracted and was slow to initially come to our table and was slow getting drinks. Kitchen messed up one order. Took three tries to get it right. May give them another try and hope service is better. read more

We paid $60 per person at Harvest Tide for Thanksgiving dinner and it turned out to be one of the most disappointing holiday meals I've ever had. The restaurant felt completely unprepared for the number of guests. Some tables had white tablecloths while others were plain wood, giving the impression they ran out halfway through setup -- and unfortunately that same lack of planning showed in the food. The turkey station was a mess. What was left was dry and picked over, with no staff replenishing it. The stuffing was soggy and unappetizing, the mac and cheese had no flavor, the shrimp were sitting in water, and the meatball tray was already empty by early evening and never refilled. It honestly felt like the food had been out for hours. Dessert was equally terrible. There were no pies, almost no variety, and what little was there looked cheap and poorly made. For a "Thanksgiving dinner," it didn't come anywhere close to feeling special or worth the money. For $60 per person, this was unacceptable. I was embarrassed to have brought guests here for a holiday meal and would never recommend Harvest Tide for Thanksgiving. Save your money and spend your holiday somewhere that actually cares about quality and preparation. read more

We've been wanting to try Harvest Tide and decided to have a date night there. The Bethany location is great, close to home for us. We arrived at our reserved time and were seated right away. The ambiance was very nice, comfortable seating and nice music. Perfect for date night. Our server was attentive and explained that they are known for their steaks, he described them as being the best around. Well perfect that's what we came for! We had the seared scallop appetizer, which was good. I had the Filet Medallion Trio with mini crab cake, which was terrible! I don't know how you'd describe a couple pieces of crab as a cake but whatever. The steak was so chewy and tough, it was seared on such high heat it had a very harsh burnt taste on the outside. It was swimming in a very strong steak sauce. I had a hard time cutting it so you can imagine how the chewing went. After eating the first medallion my first bite of the second was all gristle, I mean I had to spit it out. I normally don't send anything back but this was just bad. The waiter let the manager know and they made another medallion and the manager brought it out. She set it on the table and walked away, not a word was spoken. This medallion was the same as the others, tough, inedible, burnt on the outside. I filled up on green beans. My husband had the Blackened Prime Rib, he said it was nothing special but nothing to complain about. We normally don't complain, but since we did I would have thought the manager would have asked some questions and make it right. She did not care. I probably wouldn't be giving this harsh review right now if the manager had handled the situation better. read more

We ordered the scallop appetizer which was very good 4 out of 5 stars. I ordered the filet medallions which were a 2 out of 5. Very chewy, Not good I actually had to remove some from my mouth. I let them know and they cooked me another medallion which was the same... very tough and chewy. The place was not very busy and I can see why. We will not be returning. read more

Great food for my birthday celebration. The seafood was so fresh and the sauces to die for. We got steamed clams and Seafood Stew and Seafood Spaghetti. Great! Also the cheesecake for my birthday dessert was light and fluffy. Definitely a must visit if in Bethany! read more

My family has owned a house in South Bethany for many years, we were so excited to try your place. My husband and I decided to celebrate being pregnant with our second child this past Sunday the 13th and had a reservation for 6pm. We showed up on time and were seated and given menus. And THATS IT! End of story. No one came back, EVER!!! We are a restaurant family so decided to be patient. After 20 minutes went by and 2 other tables entered, were seated and received water and staff continually walking all around us, we left! We didn't say a word when we left and no one bothered to ask us why we were leaving. We then went to The Cafe on the 26th and had an EXCELLENT MEAL! The Filet was perfect! read more

This was the worst thanksgiving dinner ever.. Let's start with the tables. Every other table had white table clothes and some had none. Which one is it? Are you trying to be classy or casual? Pick one! The meat was dry, the stuffing was soft and mushy, the shrimp was soggy. Don't get me started on the dessert. Cupcakes?!!! Pumpkin rolls?? Who the F do you think you're serving l?! It felt like I was in a shelter for homeless people. If I'm paying 60$ a person I expect more. I will let everyone I know about this restaurant and to never step 1 foot into this establishment. I'm embarrassed for you. Never again will I come here! read more

Shout out to Harvest Tide Steakhouse Restaurant & their Thursday $19.99 Filet Night & half price bottle of wine special! It was outstanding! Mom & Dad both said this was one of the best steaks they've had in a long time. Beautiful dining room & outstanding service by Skylar, Manager & owner? the warm & talented Donna, friendly bartender Austen and jocular host Chris. Great value! Filet is usually $57. We've got my nephew in town tomorrow & definitely will go back! My only negative, the dehydrated lemons looked super cool, but didn't really offer much in flavor. Great job Harvest Tide Steakhouse Restaurant!!! read more

Overall meal was just okay, atmosphere is nice and well decorated. The Frisee Caesar* was awful, dressing was very very fishy , hard to consider this really a Caesar salad. It was literally shredded lettuce and fish paste. And the "garlic toast" has no garlic on it whatsoever. The worst Brussel sprouts I've ever gotten at a restaurant. The actual meal itself was not bad (filet and burger) which is why they get 3 stars, but i probably won't come back read more

Alright. I premise this with the restaurant came highly recommended. I can only assume it was from people who have never experienced a actual great meal. We were a party of seven with a 6:30 Monday evening reservation. We were seated immediately in a private room, which we did not ask for. The restaurant was half empty. Our server was lovely. She knew nothing about the menu. But was very kind. Three of our party ordered steaks. All were overcooked. Two of our party ordered gumbo. It was passable. However one plate came out cold with a huge chip in it. They charge $10 for three tiny rolls and a tablespoon of butter. As for the steaks they were swimming in juices showing that they were not properly rested. The list is endless with faults that this restaurant has. Will I go back. Absolutely not. Will I recommend it. Nope Pass on this restaurant. So many better choices. read more

So glad that we were able to score a table first two at Harvest Tide on a busy Friday night. There is such a wide variety of items on the menu. The restaurant is located on the second floor above the main strip in Bethany steps away from the beach. It has music but the noise level is not too bad. The food is good. Order the fried calamari, the popcorn scallops, the kale salad, the watermelon radish salad, cheese covered Brussels Sprouts and mushroom risotto. A lot of smaller plates equal a large dinner which is perfect if you are looking for something not too heavy on a hot summer evening. Shout out to Christian who was the most attentive server we encountered. His attentiveness was appreciated. read more

I stumbled across this steakhouse while in town recently and it exceeded any expectations I had. Atmosphere, food, service, & ambiance were good! My bartender Jazzmen was amazing. I didn't know exactly what I wanted at first so she recommended some dishes & entrees and they were great. She also made me a sidecar and it was amazing! I couldn't only get one! Overall my experience was good but Jazzmen made it top tier!!! I'm definitely coming back in the future. read more

Was very welcoming, great service. It had awesome decor for new years and gave a very fun experience. My waiter was amazing adding to the great service. There was no cherry in my Shirley temple though. There were also no crackers on the charcuterie board and for some reason the cheeseburger only has feta or Parmesan as the cheese option. The burger was cooked medium just as my tablemate requested it. I won't judge the food because I ordered off of the kids menu. Overall this was a great experience and I 100% recommend if in the area. read more

We have been coming to Bethany Beach for three years and last year discovered Harvest Tide. We've gone there at least 4 times, and it only gets better each visit.

Consider this a more pricey beach option. The service is unparalleled. Our sever never let our water or other drinks get empty. Awesome. Very new and modern. They food was okay.

MiSTEAK: A bit disappointed..overrated. Definitely not a job well done. You would expect more from a restaurant that charges for late arrivals for reservations. The outdoor seating had a horrific view of south Bethany night life which was essentially people beeping and waiting for parking. Wait staff was great! Dinner rolls did not rise to our expectations. The filet was sample sized to the point we had lunchables larger in size. Not to mention they charged $13 dollars for their "fancy bottles of water." They offered distilled or sparkling. Hydrated much? We nearly drowned when we got our bill.. $170!!! The $13 special Negroni cocktail tasted like a pre-mixed bottom shelf liquid poured from a plastic dispenser from a dive bar. For $25 we ended up getting two full course meals at Dumsers in OCMD to finish off the appetizer-like dinner from Harvest. read more

This restaurant doesn't have a good business plan. Not properly cooked steaks, overpriced and terrible service.

This was one of the worst dining experiences we have had in years. I should've trusted the majority of negative reviews. Ordered the tomahawk steak special medium rare. It came out well done. Sent it back and the hostess/manager came over to try telling me I was wrong and it wasn't overcooked. The second steak came out effectively rare. Not only that but at least 1/3 of it was inedible fat. Absolutely disgusting and the restaurant handled it in an embarrassing fashion basically arguing with us instead of just trying to make it right. The only positive of the night was our server Tony, who is smart enough that I'm sure he will be working elsewhere very soon. Hopefully this place closes down and something opens up worthwhile of the prime real estate that Harvest Tide occupies takes its place. read more

Our entire family was in town for my husband's 60th bday and he wanted martinis and oysters so we walked up to Harvest Tide, right off the beach - 30 minutes before it opened. We had no idea we were early as the manager, Donna, graciously greeted us and escorted us to the bar area and set us up in the bay window with several tables. The bartender, Joe, knocked it out of the park with delicious concoctions and never raised an eyebrow about us being there early. We enjoyed oysters, hushpuppies, mussels, deviled eggs and many cocktails on the happy hour menu. As residents of Bethany Beach, it is the BEST elevated happy hour on the beach. There is even seating outside on the patio for fabulous people watching from the second story. Not to mention, they now serve a wonderful breakfast/brunch starting at 7 am so you can roll right onto the beach after sipping some bubbles and having a delicious meal. If you haven't tried it, GO! And if you have gone in the past, it is definitely worth another taste! read more

Welcome to town Harvest Tide and please don't leave! Foodie, venophile or just love a great dining experience you will not be disappointed. We sat at the bar for this yummy dinner and the service was so friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about both food and the wine. Started with the Ahi tuna which was deep red , freshly sliced and was plated beautifully. Next we had the scallops which were perfectly caramelized over a gorgeous sunset schmear of sweet potato purée, both gorgeous and delicious! The outstanding dry aged meatballs rounded out our meal and complimented the final sips of our very affordable priced Herman's Story Milk and Honey! Yum ! So many fine wines at incredible prices to enjoy! Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience! read more

Three out of four of our group described their entrées as "meh" or worse. A flavorless Atlantic Salmon (the greens were good), a "barely average" seafood pasta, and an over-cooked, small $63 filet (asked for medium rare; received medium well to well done) all left us wanting more for our money. Only the cioppino got good marks. We had to ask three times for the mushroom topper for the filet. The waiter was rarely visible (otherwise the filet would have been sent back). The ambience was sorely lacking as the two tables on either side of us weren't cleared as diners left, and, throughout most of our meal, one of the two tables was used as the place to stack dishes from other tables as they were cleared. When we told the waiter we were disappointed, the manager came over and quickly made a bad situation worse. She was both defensive and sassy. Ultimately, she removed the filet from our bill, but her "service recovery" behaviors took the situation from disappointing to downright irritating. We live in BB part-time, and there are far better places to spend your money on dinner (with far better ambiance and service), especially if you are spending $35-60+ per entrée. Go to Our Harvest. That place gets five stars consistently. As for Harvest Tide? Do Not Recommend. read more

Would be happy to give 3 1/2 stars but no more for now... Good but needs work. At first glance and at the table we really loved the restaurant. Good menu and very open beachy space - not steakhouse dark which was a very nice touch. The menu is good but also steakhouse pricey. For these prices I'd like to see more steak options and pairing options. The truffle potatoes that come with each steak are good and it's nice to see at least one side included. The service while friendly and yearning to be even better just misses and is frankly the reason for the lost stars. We waited easily 30 mins after completing entrees and simply got the check and left. Never had our plates cleared or saw a dessert, coffee, after dinner drink menu ... which was a big miss as we would definitely have ordered all of the above from our group. Will try again but at these prices it's normal to expect more than they currently deliver. read more

My husband and I wanted to take my steak-loving Dad out for his birthday. Since I have a gluten sensitivity I needed a place with gluten free options. After making some calls and reading reviews, we decided to go to harvest tide. When my husband called Harvest Tide to ask about gluten free options, no specific menu items were mentioned just "steaks" (but most other businesses he called gave similar answers). No gluten free items were mentioned on the menu. Booking a reservation through Resy was easy. Parking was difficult to find and no parking information was provided on the website. Luckily, we left early and were able to find a spot when someone left. Somewhat surprisingly, there weren't any disabled parking spaces in the area near the restaurant. We got to the lobby of the restaurant and didn't know what to do since there was a menu but no real signage. My husband went up the stairs and found out there was a an elevator entrance but I don't think there were any signs about this in the lobby. Our server answered our questions, but didn't acknowledge the information I provided to Resy (that we were there for a birthday and I was gluten free). As for the food, the good news is that my Dad loved his food -- the steak, potatoes and green beans. For my husband and I that did not order steaks, however, it was a different story. Both his chicken and my steak were over cooked. In addition the risotto that came with my pork chop was undercooked. If I came here again, I would stick to the steak and not order pork or chicken. Luckily, my Dad was really happy with his food otherwise this would have been a two or two and a half star review. read more

Took our guests here for dinner on a Saturday night. It was busy but we were seated relatively quickly. Our server was friendly though a bit too much so. I ordered the Cioppino. It didn't match its description . I didn't complain at the time due to not wanting to ruin everyone's dinner. It needed some kind of bread served alongside. The server had responded to my query saying it was very good as long as you liked spice. Despite this, it was rather bland tasting only of tomatoes of which there were many large pulpy pieces in the broth which was a light red without any hint of the saffron supposedly spicing it. In addition , there was not one piece of shrimp just the clams,mussels (one was firmly closed) and salmon. Clearly the menu had said shrimp! I did take the opportunity prior to doing this review , to contact the restaurant through its website ..no response. I am local and had stated this. Disappointing because I would like this place to succeed and prosper but clearly they don't care about honesty , attention to detail or customer service. The addition or even availability of bread would have made this at least satisfying which it wasn't and the omission of shrimp and likely the saffron was inexcusable, as is the lack of response to my email. Prior to this I had expressed a desire to go for their steak next ..now that's not happening . read more
