    Mary's free range chicken. There's some spice to it but very good. I love it.

    Ambiance, food plus service was excellent. Wives were attending a function next door so the boys went out to eat at Tidal. Place was busy on a weekend so highly suggest get a reservation. Salad was fresh with the chicken as the main course. The sorbet was my dessert.

    Gorgeous setting, outdoor seating faces the bay, beautifully presented dishes, and Esteban was a terrific server. The bread service was like nothing I've ever had light as air creamy whipped butter and also a ricotta drizzled with balsamic and topped with roasted nuts. However, my fish was slightly over cooked and dry.

    Ate here while staying at paradise point resort and absolutely loved it! We had a larger party and the staff was very accommodating, service was excellent all night, and they even allowed us to keep my birthday cake in their fridge for a couple hours since we did not have a real fridge back at our bungalow on site. As a San Diego local I can't recommend this spot enough! Great views, great staff, great drinks, excellent vibes. Will be returning even if I'm not staying at the resort!

    We sat outdoors and enjoyed some food and drinks with the ocean breeze -- such a relaxing experience. My favorite was the tomato flatbread: pleasantly chewy, fresh, and not greasy at all. For the mains, we ordered the sea bass and free-range chicken. The chicken was slightly dry, but the fish was delicious. The staff were very warm and attentive, and the service was great overall.

    Chef Charlotte has got a gift I tell you. Her technique and approach is amazing. Our server Melissa was also perhaps the sweetest server I have ever had. This restaurant is a GEM, with a beautiful water, surrounded atmosphere and incredible stuff and mouthwatering food. I also recommend the carpaccio, fondue and crudo!

    Tidal is set Within Paradise Point Resort with the most spectacular view of Mission Bay. Although our dinner was set in evening, we had a table view of the glistening lights shining on the bay. We started our dinner with the Tidal bread service which is on the appetizer menu. This is definitely a must order as the bread was baked fresh and tasted like no other bread service I've experienced before. The bread was unique in shape, presented on this beautiful wood board with a ricotta honey spread topped with microgreens, balsamic vinegar, olive oil and nuts. The steak burger was juicy, seasoned well and so large. The halibut was fresh, light and flakey. Finally, completed our night with crème brûlée. Wonderful dinner from start to finish!

    This place is located at Paradise Point Resort and overlooks the water, a beautiful backdrop. The staff was friendly and they offer a kid's menu. The halibut was a bit dry but the mushroom risotto was very good and their crème brûlée had wonderful texture and taste.

    I stayed here in August of 2024, so this review is a bit late and I don't remember any of the staff who helped me but I had a wonderful experience. I made a reservation about 15 minutes ahead of time, showed up 5 minutes late, was a little drunk, didn't realize the vibes of the restaurant so I showed up in jeans, a crop top, and flip flops. The hostess and waitress were both so nice to me. I got seated at a really nice waterfront table and I ordered a bowl of clam chowder and a half dozen oysters and ate them all. It was a delicious meal with a great view even though I probably looked like a fish out of water. But hey, it was a great visit and experience. Thanks for not making me feel excluded, Tidal!!! If I ever find myself back at Paradise Point, I would definitely come back with the appropriate attire!!!

    Mocktails

    Stopped by Tidal the other day for dinner. It was a warm evening in San Diego and we walked around the property down to the docks and got a lovely view of the sunset and beaches around the resort. At the restaurant we got seated almost immediately in the back porch area with a great view of the water. For food we ordered the Tidal bread service which was a freshly baked brioche roll served with whipped butter and ricotta cheese. The bread was warm and soft and the butter made it even more delicious. For the starter we shared the Wagyu beef carpaccio which came out thinly sliced with truffle aioli and caviar. For the entree we chose the lamb chops and prime rib eye. The lamb chops came out a bit too pink in the center but they had a nice flavor to them and weren't gamey at all. The rib eye was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. For drinks we opted for mocktails that were fruity without being too sweet. Overall Tidal is a great spot for dinner by the water with plenty of free parking nearby and a great spot to walk around after dinner.

    We had a reservation at 7pm for a birthday dinner. We didn't get to seat until 715pm on a saturday night. Wasn't really a busy night, IMO. We ordered lamb shank and prime rib bone in steak with 2 wine. And brownie smores for dessert. Lamb shank was tender and delicious. Paired with suggested red wine. Good choice. Polenta is good, too. For that price,.expecting for more lamb shank :). Prime rib was good, seasoned well. However, we ordered medium but came out as rare. Brocollini came out kind of burnt, too, so we put that to the side. Since our server was nowhere to be found, we were sitting there waiting. No one is checking with us. We had to flag another server to get the prime rib cook some more. Eventually, I'm assuming the manager came out and bring the food out. This time, steak came out better and had brocollini there too, this time was cooked better. This time our server came out to check on us to see how everything was but everything was taken care off. We were ready to order dessert but server was nowhere to be found, again. We had to flag another server so we can order our dessert. Props to manager for taking care of us. Birthday dinner kind of sucked because of the service. We hoped we had the server that the 2 tables had, they were being constantly being checked and getting refills. I mean you're paying like eating at a steakhouse, service should be good, too. Intimate location, great view. Good food. Lots of parking. Good food. Will come back to eat here if we're staying here again and as long we don't get the same server.

    We've been coming to Paradise Point a lot but we are always stopping by one of their bar & grill . This time we gave Tidal a try. The result was good and my Family was very happy about our Dinner here. From the Inside of the the restaurant to the Outdoor was stunning . The View from our Table was spectacular! Now for the food, we were very satisfied, with our cocktail, appetizers, main course, and dessert. I got the PACIFICO SEA BASS a decent-sized fish, and cooked nicely accompanied by a delicious Mushroom risotto. Next time I'm gonna order too what my son had, he had the Duroc pork chop and it was big and very tasty. Service was nice, food that we had was delicious and with a very stunning view !

    We were staying at the hotel on site and we decided to try this place out and then the one next door each night and this place is okay. It does cost more and they don't have that big of a menu. I'm a picky eater so I ordered just some sides because there wasn't anything on the menu that I'd really eat. The view is gorgeous and they have a nice outside area to eat at that is right on the water. The waiter was a nice guy and he did great trying to get us to try different things.

    Lots of great things to say. The staff was friendly the dining area was nice. And we elected to sit out by the beach front and use heat lamps. They even brought the ladies blankets. Speedy right on time great drink menu. The appetizer was just odd. Hard croutons from a bag it seemed like. Luckily the actual mozzarella and balsamic was great and tasty. The sea bass was great. I had just a sneak bite of it. I ordered the ahi. And it was a thick ahi steak. Very fresh. Great portion lightly seasoned and cooked perfectly. I also just love cauliflower so when this was dressed around the tuna I devoured it. Perfect season and cooking of it. Such a great family time

I initially ordered the something and picante (can't remember the full name) and found it to be way too sweet. Then switched to a basic Lalo with soda and lime to cleanse my palette. After tried their version of an espresso martini which was quite good but made with nitro brew and kahlua so a bit on the sweeter side. I ended the night with my fave drink though which was a Hugo spritz and it was perfectly balanced. Definitely will be going back, especially for the love band Sundays. Parking is all street parking.

The iconic geometric wood ceiling, dramatic chandelier, and moody lighting make the space feel effortlessly cool. The craft cocktail program is legendary, and the elevated gastropub menu is just as impressive, the grilled octopus was tender with a wonderful smoky char, the Jidori chicken was remarkably juicy with perfectly crispy skin, and the sea bass was delicate and flaky. Taking off one star because street parking along India Street can require quite a bit of circling during peak evening hours, and the dining room gets rather loud and dim once the crowd settles in. Still, an absolute San Diego staple and a top choice for a stylish date night, late-night craft drinks, or dinner with friends.

We walked in and found out that they have a strict age limit, which I discovered when they insisted on scanning my ID into a machine. I'm closer to the tomb than the womb, so I'm not entirely sure what they were expecting to find. But apparently, the machine needed to verify that I'm legally old enough to be there. Afterward, the bartender thanked me by name. My person who is closer to the womb than the tomb forgot their ID. It could have been Justin Bieber, or myself for that matter, but it wasn't going to happen. The burgers would have to be, to go. First impression is the decor is classic, and the place was absolutely immaculate. Later, I noticed the bathrooms were spotless, and perhaps most importantly, there was no graffiti on the walls. It's a class act establishment where civilization survives. There's a back covered patio surrounded by ferns, a great game room, and then the backyard where the food trailer is located. It was Sunday around 2pm, and while talking to the bartender, they mentioned that they had wings out for happy hour and the games. But I had my sights set on the Wagyu burgers. If I must say so myself, it was an excellent choice on my part. The patties were perfectly seasoned, and the toppings mixed with the Wagyu juices to create a delicious little sauce. I happened to have some chips underneath the burger, and they basically became the lucky recipients of all that wonderful burger grease. Very, very yummy. Walking around while waiting for my food, one can't help but notice that the bourbon selection is fantastic. While my person was booted, I can still say that all the employees were cordial, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. No attitude, no nonsense just good service. While it's listed as a dive bar, it's way too chic for that classification. I love a welcoming bars with great burgers, an excellent bourbon selection, and enough character to keep me coming back. Which I plan on doing in force!

They apparently have happy hour all day on Sundays. I tried the peach mocktail and it was very yummy, so I appreciated the $5 off. For dinner, I ordered the branzino (the one on the menu and not the special). I was told while the one on the normal menu was $47, the special was $55 and the only difference between the two was the special would be lit on fire table side. I didn't feel the flames were necessary, so I skipped that. (However, the special did mention a sauce that I'm not sure was actually on the regular one, so I don't actually know.) A few minutes before the food came out, they asked if we wanted it all together or if it would be ok for my husband and our friends food to come out first since they were still finishing my fish. I said to just bring it out when it was ready, however they ended up bringing it out together anyway. The confusing part though, all of our meals weren't served warm? You'd think if they were waiting on mine to be done it would have been at least warm? It wasn't. The branzio was very plainly seasoned, tasted heavily of oil and was also somewhat dry? I got it with the whipped sweet potatoes, which was very creamy, which was unlike any way I've ever had sweet potatoes before, but they didn't taste particularly good? We each tried them and none of us could figure out what it was like, but we all agreed we didn't enjoy them. My husband got the arrecherea, it was fine, but also cold. The fries it came with was probably the best part, they were crispy even while being cold. Our friend got the stuffed Mediterranean Stuffed Pepper, his meal also wasn't warm, and he said some of the rice wasn't cooked all the way and it was hard. We also got the Puccia Bread & Spreads after seeing positive reviews. I normally love feta cheese, but the feta dip was kind of sweet? Same with the eggplant. The only spread that was good was the butter. Personally, I thought the bread was fine? But it was almost a bit doughy. Overall, we weren't very impressed with the meal. It had a lot of potential, but the food just didn't hit the mark.
