The breakfast at Tide Room in Ashore Resort is a total mixed bag--great setup, gorgeous space, but the food kitchen execution falls way short of the environment. On the positive side, the setting is fantastic. You get a beautiful direct view of the ocean through the windows, the decor and ambiance are lovely, and the staff couldn't have been friendlier. Unfortunately, the food itself was barely above what you'd expect from a low-end self-serve hotel buffet. I ordered the omelette with turkey sausage, veggies, and cheddar cheese. Instead of melted, shredded cheddar folded in or melted on top, I was served a single slice of Kraft American cheese slapped right on top of the omelette. The hash brown loaf was an atrocity. They would be far better off serving traditional scattered hash browns or even a straightforward McDonald's-style hash brown patty. A few things were done right: the toast was good, served with nice preserves, and the side of fresh strawberries was delicious. The drip coffee was fine, though it's worth noting they don't offer any espresso drinks like lattes or cappuccinos if that's part of your morning routine. Worth stopping in if you just want to sit by the water with toast and coffee, but the hot breakfast prep needs a major rethink. read more

This restaurant was really good. It was in a hotel and it was on the second floor. There are stairs but if you need the elevator you have to go through the lobby entrance. Parking was hard. I wish they had valet parking. The view from the restaurant was beautiful of the beach. The decor inside was light and seemed high end. Our waitress was very friendly. I had the Blue Crab Truffle Alfredo and it was outstanding. My husband had the OC surf and Turf and said it was one of the best things he ate all vacation read more

This is an amazing restaurant in ocean city! Although we got sat a little later, the place looked beautiful. It is a fine dining establishment even though it's in a hotel. The service was great. Our server was attentive and answered any questions we had. The food was to die for and I would come back here again. read more

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

Had an amazing birthday dinner at The Tide Room with my wife. The space is modern and refreshing, the hosts were welcoming, and every dish was outstanding. Our waiter Ben was the highlight--knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our experience great. He even went to the chef to answer a question we had about the carrot purée. Fantastic restaurant. Ben deserves special recognition for exceptional service. 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

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

please get the lamp app and if you're able please request Ben as your server. he was amazing

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

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

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

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

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

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

Tide Room - Crab Dip with a view! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

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

My friends and I went on an overnight girls getaway and chose this restaurant to have dinner. Matt was our server and gave us some great recommendations. The 3 of us shared the crab deviled eggs, Ashore salad, Day boat scallops, and the blue crab truffle carbonara.

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

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
