However, in the past month I have been here twice and both times my food was burnt. Visibly burnt. Felt burnt. Tasted burnt. Also one time my order was missing sauce. So clearly the level of quality control has dropped significantly. These are expensive plates. We're talking $50-$60 for a single person to eat. Such a waste of money, I am very disappointed and will not be back.

Husband had the clam chowder and haddock sandwich with onion rings. The food was great and exactly what we were looking for. The clam chowder was one of my favorites from all we sampled this trip.

Ordered prime rib for first time and that was awesome as well. Sat on their new inside porch with beautiful view of nahant beach. Our server was super friendly, and very busy. Got a little attitude from another server when we asked for water. But there's a reason tides is in our family rotation!

I was riding the wave of starting a four-day vacation and hopeful, but I should have read reviews of Tides more closely. The staff was what appeared to be older high-school and younger college students who all looked and spoke like they would rather be anywhere but where they were. The seafood platter was OK. My friend and I split it, not realizing that when we replied to "Do you want the clams with that?" that there would be a market-price upcharge. I ordered a draft Blue Moon which tasted...funny. Not like it should, and not like one I've ever had before. The view of the beach from the deck was nice and the umbrella at our table kept us in the shade; those are the two stars in my review.

For me, she made one of their special holiday drinks called "A Partridge in a Pear Tree," which had Absolute pear vodka and Prosecco in it. We shared a side of their famous onion rings and baked scallops casserole, topped with Ritz crackers, for dinner. It was delicious and plentiful. It came with two sides, so we had their fresh broccoli and wedge salad (iceberg lettuce & tomatoes), which Tawna brought out before the entree, which was great! This quaint neighborhood bar/restaurant, which has been around since 1961, was also festively decorated. They hung garland and lights from their ceiling, which looked awesome.

(My all time fave being the Villa in Wayland dressing which is a town cult classic, the salad itself sucks though). The dressing was so lemony and fresh and I could tell it was made in house. I was surprised when our server said the plate was hot for a beet salad and delightfully it was because the goat cheese was melted onto the beets... yummmm ugh I wish I was eating it right now. The main event: THE TUNA My partner and I took one bite of the mashed potatoes with the miso sauce and both literally got chills and a tear came to our eyes. The texture of the tuna, the crunch of the sesames, the bok choi added a perfect fibrous element and the potatoes in the sauce all melded together in perfect harmony. Texture, flavor, presentation, all five stars I want to scream like the teacher in "a Christmas story" when Ralphie writes his theme and the teacher screams "A++++++++++++++++++++!!!!!"
