A sunset dinner reservation at the Tide Room in the Ashore Resort and Beach Club was marvelous. Our server, Vilad was friendly, incredibly attentive, and funny! He was on point throughout our entire dinner from the first hello to the end. For starters we were served rolls with tri-butter ensemble, followed by the TR crab dip appetizer served with house made potato crisps. Decadent and creamy there was lump crabmeat in every bite. It is worthy to mention Ashore Resorts where Tide Room is located is a registered True Blue Restaurant that serves authentic Maryland blue crab. We also had the baby arugula and kale salad and it was cool with crisp greens. A well balance of the goat cheese gives this salad A+ for pre-dinner enticements. For beverages we had an array of selections - En Fuego, Cloud 9, and OC Old Fashioned. All were great, my old Fashioned was strong *wink! For dinner, we had the Blue Crab Truffle Carbonara, and the 10oz. A4 Wagyu Coulotte. Everyone enjoyed their entrées. A simple modification for my carbonara with gemelli instead of ziti was granted and I was a happy gal. I appreciate the balance of the pasta to crab ratio. Generously portioned this dish! The 10oz. wagyu prepared medium was a highlight... the marbling and that fat cap was incredible, it was so buttery tender. The ambience is bright and the open dining space welcomes loud chatter! Definitely book reservations if you can, and specify indoor/outdoor, by the window, and booths are best for couples no more than 2. Tide Room does a great job accommodating celebrations as there were several parties celebrating the night of my visit. Parking is onsite and some overflow is across Coastal Highway. Come early, enjoy a cocktail while you wait. read more

This place was absolutely gorgeous! It felt like we were in Greece and not Ocean City lol. The views were spectacular and the service was great! Our waiter was so attentive and helpful as it was our first time there. They even gave me a little birthday card and dessert. The food was also very fresh and delicious! 10/10! I'm definitely adding this to my restaurant list for OC! read more

This might be my new favorite restaurant in OC MD. We went for my husband's birthday. They said happy birthday and had a card for him on the table. We wanted to get an appetizer but figured we would be too full so skipped it. Cocktails were great. I got an passionfuit aperol popsicle in a glass of champagne. It was refreshing. The other drink i ordered had a coconut foam on top which was cool. My husband kept telling me to order the crab cake since they were supposedly the only restaurant in OC MD that uses actual Maryland crab. But there were 2 other entrees I wanted and I didn't really want the fries and closelaw with the crab cake. So I ordered just a single crab cake in addition to my meal and I'm glad I did that. The scallop dish was great and prob my favorite meal I had on vacation. The scallops were seared perfectly with a nice brown. The combination of the blueberry sauce and the gnocchi and other vegetable with it just went together really well and everything was delicious. I really liked those gnocchis too I wish they put a little more on the entree. My husband got the truffle carbonara pasta so I could steal some of his. I'm glad he ordered it. That pancetta in it was probably the best pancetta I ever had. Nice size pieces with good flavor. Sometimes pancetta can be too salty for me but this wasn't . There were nice size lumps of crab in it and great flavor. Everything was very fresh and flavorful. We ordered the sticky toffee pudding and that was great too. They put a birthday candle in it. Oh I forgot the bread was great too. The butter that they give you is addicting- the pizza butter is great. There's 3 different ones. We had to ask for more bread since it was so good. I definitely would like to return I hope they add some more entrees and change the menu seasonally. read more

Had dinner here on a Friday night while in town for a weekend. This is a newer restaurant to us - I had not heard of it until this year. Parking is out front of the Ashore Hotel, as well as across the street as well if needed. We had a reservation for 8:15pm and came about 7:55pm. The inside of the hotel leading to the restaurant reminded me of a reshell of a previously outdated restaurant. New paint over the old bones, but new decoration as well. The restaurant was kind of cool - different lighting with a balcony area to dine at overlooking the beach. We started with crab dip and crab deviled eggs. The deviled eggs (6) were REALLY GOOD - seasoned well and topped with crab meat. The crab dip though was clumsy to me - almost like a cream of chicken gravy with crab on top. Wasn't the normal creamy and cheesy consistency that you'd expect. Don't know. For my meal - why not - I got crab carbonara. This was pretty good - plenty of pancetta and crab - sauce was good enough. For dessert I ordered the peanut butter pie (for my beaauuutifu--) which I'm pretty sure was just a frozen pie. Still good. Our waiter - tall guy Vataly? was good - and brought refills without prompting. However, the man refused to buss the spent glasses ha. Overall good - worth the try! read more

We came here for our bachelor bachelorette party with about 15 people and honestly they let us set everything up, made it so much fun and let us really enjoy ourselves even though it's definitely more of an upscale restaurant. Our server was fantastic and was playing games with us, got all of our orders right even though we were a little rowdy lol and everybody else was so kind. I really can't stress that enough. They even brought over a little free dessert for my parents who came with us for their anniversary. The food was absolutely epic. My scallops were some of the best I've ever had. This place definitely is more expensive than most in Ocean City, but in my opinion, this entire hotel and the restaurant and bar are phenomenal. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!! read more

We just had dinner at Tides and I must say this place is horrendous. I noticed when we were seated that the wine glasses at the table were all dirty. I asked for them to be removed but it wasn't done till I asked again later. The food was diner quality. We ordered many dishes , deviled eggs/crab dip/heirloom tomato salad/carbonara/wagyu steak/asparagus. EVERYTHING was terrible! The service was just as bad , the entrees were served while we were still on appetizers. I'm from Philly where this level of food/service would be at a chain. The price point was way too high for these kinds of hiccups. Will never go back or recommend read more

What a lovely night! Beautifully decorated space, amazing view,with excellent, attentive service. We wanted a light meal, so we only had a small pasta dish and a salad. But were beautifully prepared and tasted great. The margarita was tasty and homemade. The hostess/manager checked on us in addition to our server. One criticism: dust the window sills. read more

This was excellent and awesome vibes . The service was outstanding. Presentation of the food was outstanding and taste was very flavorful with bite read more

The ambiance once we got inside the restaurant is very nice and by far the best thing going for Tide Room. Going up to the restaurant was not well-marked inside the building and a bit confusing. Another couple walking up behind us felt the same way and I think may have turned around and left after trying to get there through parts of the hotel. The food was very average to sub-average for a high price. The dumpling appetizer seemed like it had been prepared way ahead and was sitting around, not hot and freshly made. The seasoning and proportion of most food was not well-balanced. For example, my carbonara was over-loaded with peas and my wife's halibut had way too many tomatoes underneath. The drinks were pretty disappointing and tasted watered down. Maybe we came on the wrong day but it was not what we hoped for on our date night. read more

Let's give this place an opportunity to re-boot in 2024. We saw an article about the Renovations made and thought we wld stop by for a visit to see how it looked - in prep for summer time fun. It''s a beautiful location and the restaurant and bar have been amazingly remodeled (light, airy, inviting). We came in and just wanted to have cocktails and they were very accommodating. Stephanie was very nice and extremely friendly- she provided us with their menus to look at, we talk about what we can expect in the summer- outside deck, the vibe of their beach front activities etc., sounds like it will be great! We look forward to coming back with our friends to see how things are full summer mode and we look forward to it! Give it a try!! Thanks Stephanie. read more

My friend and I had a wonderful dinner at The Tide Room in early November. The food, ambience and service were some of the most memorable in my experiences. Our server, Ben, was not only very professional and attentive, but charming as well. We will definitely request him the next time we visit! Excellent dining experience! read more

Excellent food and service. We thoroughly enjoyed their imaginative cocktails, appetizers and entrees. Josue was our server and he's the best in Ocean City. Best experience of our vacation. read more

Food was delicious and our waiter, Noah, was very attentive and sweet. We arrived pretty early but the restaurant filled up quickly.

This was the first restaurant we tried since we were staying at Ashore. We were met by a friendly staff who seated us near a window overlooking the beach. There were a few fresh catch specials and our server gave an excellent presentation for the dishes I wasn't familiar with. Ordered swordfish special , it was delicious! Everything seemed fresh and it was a great late dinner! read more

Service was great! We all had very tasty food. I recommend the calamari. The upstairs was spacious and we enjoyed each other's company.

Amazing Food, Hand Crafted Cocktails, and Ocean Front views! My fiance & I were eager to dine at the Tide Room at Ashore after hearing buzz about their new chef & new menu and it did not disapoint. Upon arrival, we recieved a warm greeting and were seated near the windows with an amazing view of the ocean (a rarity in Ocean City as most nice restauraunts seem to be bayside). We started with a round of drinks from their impressive craft cocktail list & I really enjoyed the Flora Blanc (crisp & refreshing). For appetizers we tried the Lobster & Pork steamed dumplings were excellent with a ginger soy dipping sauce. On to the main course! I had the Day Boat Scallops with Truffle Risotto & my fiance had the Tandoori Spiced Salmon. The scallops were incredible -large with a crispy sear on each side & the mix of the Truffle Risotto with Blackberry Mostarda took it too the next level. My fiance loved the unique flavor profile of the tandoori salmon. Overall, we had an amazing dining experience at Tide Room and cannot wait to go back to try the rest of their menu! read more

Our family was looking for a new experience a thankgiving away from home. I'm not going to sugar coat things. First I'll mention the service was great and the ambiance was lovely we had amazing sever named Grace! Loved her. But the food was AWFUL I do not mean this in a rude or boujee way 60 dollars a plate for over salted soggy turkey, practically raw green beans and flavorless Mac and cheese for a close to 300 dollar meal for 3(including drinks and tips) it was NOT WORTH IT. I'm sure the regular food might be ok and I'd go for a first date, again ambiance was lovely but THE FOOD WAS 1 star read more

I stayed at the Ashore Resort for a retreat back in April and immediately fell in love with their onsite restaurant, the Tide Room. Matt was phenomenal and made us feel at home. My husband and I had already planned our anniversary trip down here and I knew we'd have to go back! You can't beat delicious food with an ocean view, no matter where you sit. Courtney was our server this time and she was fantastic! Further proving the entire staff is knowledgeable and dedicated to providing the best dining experience. The restaurant itself does have a nice selection of drinks to pair with their top notch menu, which is not easy to do sometimes. (Everything is delicious but crab dip is my favorite! ) If you're looking for a nice restaurant where you don't necessarily need a suit and tie or fancy clothes to relax and enjoy, highly recommend the Tide Room. You will not be disappointed. If parking is a concern being that this is located inside of the Ashore Resort, they have an overflow parking lot right across the street! read more

Made a reservation here so my wife and I could dine by the water. It is a very spacious restaurant and you definitely don't feel crowded or cramped. Great view too. This particular night there was live music. It wasn't very good and a little loud, but not too bad. Added somewhat to the ambiance. The service was HORRIBLE. It took 40 min to get our first round of drinks from the bar and over an hour to get our food. The restaurant was not busy so the felt made no sense. We got crab dip and ordered more bread, which took 20 min and was cold on the inside. The entrees we had were decent. I did not really enjoy the blackened rock fish as it wasn't really blackened, but it wasn't horrible. My wife got the crab cake which was decent. The waiter was apologetic, but never did we speak to a manager despite what I would consider unacceptable wait times. And nothing was really done to try and make up for our wait time. Will never go back. The food isn't nearly good enough to make up for the horrible service. read more

Absolutely amazing food and drinks. I'm amazed. Won't go out much in OC - kind of a food snob. Liquid assets (been going there since the day they opened) - Spain wine bar- Catch 54 - Ruth Chris - Grove Market - AND NOW... THE TIDE ROOM in Ashore. The atmosphere is exceptional and the food is off the page. Creative with great basics too but all elevated !!! It's beautiful. Staff was great!! Loved it !! Can't wait to come back. Ocean views to die for. read more

Decent smash burger. Delicious chicken tinga tacos. Lovely view out on the patio. Great service.

We won't be back to the Tide Room and it's a shame because besides the Filet Mignon, the food was great! It was honestly our experience with the manager that made the experience crappy. I ordered my filet Medium Rare and it came out between Medium and Medium Well. I'm not one to send food back but it was a $60 steak so I sent it back and, while they were cooking another, enjoyed my scallops and veggies (which were both fantastic!). In the meanwhile the manager came by to tell us that my steak WAS cooked properly- it's just that they cook their steaks differently than the rest of the world, apparently- and she said the waiter should have told us that. She then told me that she told them to cook it rare instead of medium rare because she thought that is what I was really looking for. I was like...um...okay? It was so bizarre it was honestly comical. After she left we even laughed about it. However, once the new steak arrived- cooked medium rare (lol or RARE, if you ask the manager)- I took a bite and it was the saddest thing ever. It tasted like "garlic flavored tofu", as my mother described it. Every single person at the table tried it to make sure we weren't crazy and everyone agreed- it was flavorless and didn't even taste like meat- it was super odd. Filet mignon is my go-to choice for upscale dining and I've NEVER tasted anything like it. My husband thinks they must have rushed it and taken the steak directly out of the refrigerator instead of preparing it properly at room temp, etc. Anyway. When the waiter asked how it was I wasn't even going to say anything but he literally said "be honest"- so I told him! I said please don't take it off the bill- please don't say anything because we do NOT want to talk to the manager again- haha what would be the point- we were still in good spirits and didn't want to ruin our anniversary by getting upset about it. We just boxed it up and took it home so the rest of the family could try it and make sure we weren't crazy (we weren't, as it turns out!). So- I would say- if you go to the Tide Room- just don't get the Filet Mignon? My husband ordered the Waygu and it was great- haha also ordered medium rare- cooked properly- so I know they CAN do it but- don't tell that to the manager- she will just nicely gaslight you and argue with you, hahaha! read more

Went a few nights ago. We were told by the hostess that it was their grand reopening and we were the first guests. Knowing this, we braced ourselves, but we didn't need to. Service was excellent in the bar and the dining area. Food was delicious. We had caesar salads to start and then two of us split the seafood linguine and one of us got the rockfish. Both dishes were perfectly prepared. We were too full for dessert, but we will definitely be back. Congratulations on a successful reboot! read more

This is a place worth visiting. It started with the call for reservations when they asked if it was for a special occasion. It wasn't, but it tells you they want to be special. And they are. The place is beautiful and has a magnificent ocean vista. The only thing lacking was table cloths to make it over the top. But that's a minor thing. We had David as our waiter and he was perfect. Very knowledgeable about the food and history of the restaurant. The drinks were excellent and we were not rushed. While the appetizers were just okay the mains were excellent. I had an eggplant dish that was delicious while my friend had a tuna with short ribs dish which he loved and my wife had a pasta dish that was very good and quite different. I'd recommend any of those choices. This is a go-to place in Ocean City. You pay for the experience but you do it gladly. read more

This is my HONEST review for the TIDE ROOM in the ASHORE Resort Hotel in Ocean City, Maryland. I ate there Saturday night with my wife and a friend and was extremely underwhelmed. First of all the pricing is like Ruths Chris restaurant, $36-$42 each. First off let me start with the service, it took this young waiter fella 15 to 20 minutes to acknowledge that we were there and to get us a glass of water. By the time he got there we thought we better go ahead and order our drinks since it was taking so long and the restaurant may be had 15 couples total and the bar had maybe 12 people, so it wasn't that they were so slammed with people that they couldn't wait on them. It was clearly that they didn't know what they were doing. So when I placed our order for two cocktails and a glass of wine, our young fella waiter immediately said I don't think you should order the cocktails because they're taking 20 minutes to get. Maybe you should go with a bottle of wine instead, which kind of astounded me since I only saw a dozen people at the bar but we went ahead and ordered a bottle of wine. This is the start of the ridiculousness. He came back with the wine in about 10 minutes and we thought let's go ahead and place order since this doesn't look like it's going that well. I ordered the $42 seafood fettuccine my wife the $25 vegetarian lasagna and my friend the rockfish for $36. I'm gonna tell you it took 45 minutes to an hour to get our entrée's..... and again I remind you, there are only maybe 15 couples in the whole restaurant, so clearly, they have some kind of significant service problem that they have got contained. My seafood pasta was good, but certainly not great just didn't have that real delicious taste you look for when you pay $42 for something and my friend, who ate the rockfish said it was good, but again not great, which, how do you mess up making fish on the other hand, my wife said the vegetable lasagna was quite tasty, but for some strange reason was quite a small little piece of vegetable lasagna that seems like it should've been a much larger serving for $25. The Yungman waiter never returned after he served the cocktails as the entrées were brought out from another person from the kitchen and so we never got another glass of water beyond one or he never poured hard wine in our glasses, which I continue to do throughout the dinner for my guests , it was just amazing and probably insulting. After we finished dinner and sat there for 15 or 20 minutes, he finally wandered by again and asked about dessert. I said sure let's take a look at the menu, and he brought us a menu. However, please note that he never took our dishes away and we sat there for at least 30 minutes after we were done eating and he came by and took our dessert order and never took a single dish off the table... WTF??? The desert, I even forgot what I ordered but it wasn't notable and was probably 12 bucks. So overall we spent $200 on dinner for 3, had the worst service I've had in a long while and paid the highest prices that I've paid in a long time to eat at a restaurant. So if you want my opinion, save your money, save your time And find somewhere else to go. You'll enjoy it more. You'll pay less and you'll probably get better service. Sorry tide room, just trying to be honest for the people that are trying to evaluate your new restaurant, looks like you got a lot of work to do in order to justify these kind of prices for Ocean City. Good luck! read more
