Food is first rate. Service is fine. Ambiance is "dockside casual." We love it!!!!!!!!!

We stopped here wanting to get more seafood while on the island and was very happy we stopped here! We both got the combo baskets and swapped out the mahi for the grouper for an upcharge. I got mine fried and she got the blackened. They were both very yummy! She was raving about their beans so I gave it a try and it was very tasty! The grouper was so fresh and scallops were cooked really well. My shrimp was great as well. Definitely worth a try if you're looking for some fresh seafood! Service was great too. They were attentive and food came out really fast. You can't beat eating seafood so close to the water either! read more

Food was great. Mahi Mahi blackened was perfect. Baked beans are to die for. Loved the baked beans. Key Lime pie was great. My wife had the fish tacos and they were good. Nic e atmosphere. Service was great. Highly recommended. read more

Small-town, bar atmosphere with fresh caught seafood and a fantastic view. Sunset is amazing here. Food and drink are along the $$ scale, but, if you want local and water view without the crowded and busy drive to Anna Maria Island, you've got your place. I had the scallop basket and was in heaven! Outdoor seating (recommended) is picnic tables with umbrellas and bar area, so it's not formal. There is a parking attendee who will show you the best way to go to keep their lot organized, so look for that person when you arrive. Grab a drink and relax on the dock until you can be seated. read more

We were there at 4ish, so there was no wait. Darius was our server and was great. The grouper bites and grilled grouper were cooked perfectly. Key lime pie was one of the best I've had. Definitely a go to place! read more

On our weekend visit to the area we started reading about Tide Tables and wanted to try it out. So glad we did! From the moment we turned off the road into the parking lot it was a wonderful experience. There was a person greeting and helping us park. That peaked our interest! She gave us instructions on where to go and told us to save room for the dessert. :) We were greeted and sat quickly. We opted for outside near the water. Beautiful day! The server appeared quickly and was super nice! Our beverages arrived almost immediately as well as our food. The strawberry mimosa beer was a hit with us. The food was delicious. We ordered the peel and eat shrimp, conch fritters and the scallop dinner with baked beans. Was so excited I forgot to take any photos. Looking forward to going Back again to try more and save room for dessert. :) read more

This is a great old Florida water side restaurant with fresh seafood, quick service, cold beer, fair prices and outside tables right on Sarasota bay. Great water side tables and you can even drive your boat up to the dock. It doesn't get any better than this. read more

Great food, better vibes. Don't let the parking situation scare you off; this place runs like a well oiled machine. Expect a bit of a wait around sunset, but it's totally worth it. DO NOT SKIP THE KEY LIME PIE! read more

We have been coming here for 10 years. Love the water location, delightful staff and delicious seafood. A MUST when visiting the area.

The grouper sandwiches were amazing. The whole family enjoyed the sandwich. Don't be intimidated by the wait - the wait was shorter both times we ate here. Yes - we ate here twice on our 1 week vacation because it was that good. read more

Atmosphere casual and relaxed with outdoor dining. Fish was fresh and excellent. Service prompt. Very friendly people.

Wonderful seafood dishes. The Caesar Salad with Blackened Mahi was the absolute best! Friendly service and great location. Right on the water across from Ana Maria Island. One of my favorite restaurants! read more

Tide Tables - Caesar Salad with Blackened Mahi. Delicious! - Seafood Near Me - Cortez, Florida

What a great experience! We were quoted a wait of 1 hr+ but luckily only waited about 30 minutes. Our server was Becky and she was GREAT! Helped guide us through the menu, kept the table clean, offered us timely refills or additional drinks and was just GREAT-5 stars!! The food exceeded our expectations. It was Fresh, Delicious and great portions and served pretty quickly. We had the following items and I took pictures of them all: 8 pc Fried Shrimp Blackened Mahi Tacos Burger Blackened Grouper Grilled Grouper Coconut Key Lime Pie with Strawberry Topping They are known especially for their fish tacos and after having them, I totally understand what the fuss was about. I've never seen that much fresh fish in a taco before! 5 stars for everything and the friendly service staff from the woman in the parking lot helping cars coming in to the bartenders to our server, everyone! Thank You Tide Tables for a great experience with my family!! read more

Loved their scallops and outdoor seating (inside seating also available). Lemonade was very weak. Service was great. Had a view of the Inland waterway and docks nearby. read more

Food Pricey. Staff off-putting. The dishes we ordered were tough. Not much else to say

All I can say is awesome. Great place to relax and enjoy your day with great food. Located right on the water with excellent service and friendly people. I enjoyed my combo of mahi shrimp and scallops with cold slaw and fries. My wife loved the jumbo shrimp and for dessert home made key lime pie. We can't wait to come back and try some other items on the menu. read more

This place rocks! Justin our server aka bartender was fantastic! Great service, kept our tea and water full and make great suggestions! The fish tacos with Mahi was a major hit, good flavor and well worth the price! My friend had grouper; flakey, excellent fried and served with tarter sauce that was home made! You know the tartar sauce is good when you mention it in a review of a restaurant! Last, Justin suggested we get the Key Lime Pie; excellent choice and according to Justin, it was served with no calories included (just kidding) There are a lot of choices for seafood in the area, this one is a must visit for tourists or locals! read more

What a wonderful pet friendly place! We thought it was a hidden gem. Apparently the secret is out! Brought our pup. Enjoyed the waterfront view. We both selected mahi mahi. Yummy! Cant go wrong. If you are in the area it's definitely worth it. If you're not from the area - then, yes, it's worth the drive! read more

Delicious food with a view!! ALERT! Tide tables is our first stop when visiting Sarasota. It's the perfect local establishment with the best seafood. We always get the Mahi Mahi tacos... there is an Asian slaw with ginger sauce. It's a MUST have item. The restaurant is located right by the bridge to Bradenton beach. They have a small parking lot but always have someone sitting out there to help everyone navigate. They are always busy but no worries you can always grab a drink and head out to the dock to wait. However if you don't mind a bar seat you can usually grab a bar stool. Lastly order a pitcher of beer. You won't regret it enjoy the views, relax, and soak up the good company. read more

While on vacation my family dined at tide tables. There was a parking lot attendant directing you where to park. The restaurant was directly on the water, if sitting outside you can choose to sit at a picnic table or at the bar. The bar's wait was quicker so we chose to sit there. Our backs were against the water so we had no view, we probably should have just waited for a table. I had the blackened shrimp served with remoulade sauce and French fry's. The shrimp and sauce were delicious but the fry's were mid. My husband had the shrimp po boy, he enjoyed it but like me didn't enjoy the fry's, there was an odd coating on them. The staff were all very nice and the location was beautiful to watch the boats go by. read more

Love love love this place. My wife and I consider we are regulars here. The food is just too good! Place is awesome service is off the chain. We try to make it out there at least 2-3 times a month. read more

Tide Tables may not be fancy--it's a simple shack on the water--but it doesn't need to be. The service, the views, and most importantly, the food are absolutely amazing. The seafood is as fresh as it gets--it tastes like it just came straight from the ocean, which it probably did! We didn't have a reservation, so we grabbed seats at the bar, and our bartender was attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. If you're looking for incredible seafood without any pretense, this is the place to go. Highly recommend! read more

We are so sad to say we will be the ones to not give this place a good review :/. We just arrived in town and were so excited to eat fresh seafood and based on the great reviews, we were sure we would eat amazing fresh fish! To our disappointed our grouper and mahi mahi were tasteless, dry and super well done. The waiter was good enough to order a new grouper that came juicier but still tasteless, although somewhat enjoyable after some salt, butter and lemon. My husband just wanted to be done and leave so didn't bother asking for a mew mahi mahi. Unfortunately We either got extremely unlucky or the cook does not know how to make fish. Service was also terrible and we had to ask other waiters when we needed anything, one of which was super rude and ignored us walking straight passed us. We give 2 stars for the view, and the shrimp that was decent. For over $100 in 3 dishes and not even drinks or dessert, we left pretty disappointed. read more

Nice spot that's well enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. The seafood is incredibly fresh and the service was quick and friendly! Don't run the other way if there is a wait because they have a cash bar where you can grab a drink and hangout until your table is ready. High compliments for the blackened mahi! read more

Old Florida open air spot on the water. Friendly staff with tasty simple seafood dishes.

Have never had a bad meal here, large portions, flavorful food. Quick to take drink orders, and answer questions about the menu. The views are amazing, wildlife, dolphins, pelicans, and boats and bridges. It's our must visit restaurant, usually quite a few times while here in Bradenton, Fl. read more

The staff here truly goes above and beyond. A few weeks ago, I lost my jacket while visiting, and not only did they find it, but they also shipped it all the way back to Georgia without asking for anything in return. Their kindness and generosity left a lasting impression on me. As if the service wasn't already outstanding, the food was nothing short of incredible. The gumbo was flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, and every dish my family ordered was equally delightful. The ambiance is simply perfect, peaceful and inviting, with the restaurant being right on the water. It creates such a relaxing and enjoyable vibe. This is one of the best dining experiences I've had, and I'll absolutely be returning the next time I'm in Sarasota. Thank you to the amazing team for making my visit so memorable! read more

A+ on the atmosphere, food and service. This gem is a little hidden but so good. I loved the tiki bar and the picnic table style seating. They won't seat you until your entire party is there which is fine. But while you wait on any late arrivals you can grab a drink from said tiki bar and watch the boats go and in out. Not a bad view at all. The mixed basket was amazing. Had it all blackened - the shrimp, the scallops and the fish. So so good. The grouper spread we started with was served with crackers and was quite good. This place is owned by the same people as Star Fish Market and does accept credit cards, does table service too. Can't wait to come back here. read more

Great place! This establishment has this home feel to it, the service is more than great! We had a lovely lady helping and telling every customer that pulls in where to park. Host/hostess was efficient, they will help you find a table inside/ outside or at the bar. If there's a wait you can get a drink and walk along the small pier until your table is ready. Our server Melinda was wonderful, we sat inside since there wasn't a wait.. our order came out so fast! My son and I tried their fish tacos which comes with french fries. The tacos were big portions, we had to take some home because that's how big they were. You can taste the fresh fish.. their lemonade was very refreshing. I decided to try their dessert special which was a pineapple cheesecake but I wasn't a fan. It just felt like they threw some whip cream together and a piece of pineapple. Overall I will be back and next time will wait to sit outside to enjoy the beautiful water view. read more

My wife and I were on vacation on Anna Maria Island and this place was about a mile walk from our resort. We sat down outside and I ordered the grouper sandwich and a side of baked beans and carrot salad and an IPA. Nice hunk of grouper was super tasty and the service was wonderful. Awesome atmosphere and we sat and enjoyed our lunch. Awesome stuff. Pretty reasonably priced too. Highly recommended. read more

Tide Tables - Blackened grouper sandwich with Calusa IPA and baked beans and carrot salad. Delish! - Seafood Near Me - Cortez, Florida

I was visiting the area and wanted to find something fun and local. We arrived just before 11:30am (opening time) and there was already a line. GOOD SIGN. I had a grilled shrimp basket, which was delicious. The "high tide" basket came with 8 shrimp. For the price, I expected these shrimp to be jumbo but sadly, there were not. The service was good and the atmosphere great. We sat out on one of the patios and enjoyed the water. The food really was delicious but I would say quite overpriced for shrimp, a tiny portion of cole slaw, and French fries. My mother in law had the same thing except had baked beans instead of fries. We both left satisfied. read more
