Started the vacation with Tide To Table. I spent about three months stalking the menu watching it change every two-ish days to different intriguing and unique items I've never had before, or can't get at home. Unfortunately, when I actually got there for dinner the menu hadn't changed in about a week, and it was a little boring at that. We had Leigh as a server and she was very friendly, polite, nice, and helpful. But, she made two strange comments I probably wouldn't have if I was part of the wait staff. First, she told my wife the crabcake wasn't jumbo lump and if it was the price would be $75. Second, she commented on the "salad" that came with the fried quail, that the original one was better. While these aren't necessarily bad, I don't think any slight negative indication is something to be spoken plainly, over letting diners decide for themselves. If you've ever read any of my previous reviews I say I am absolutely not a fan of the establishment not putting salt and pepper shakers on the table. Either the chef is skilled or over confident in this case. Luckily, the chef was skilled. I had the fried quail. It came with a micro green salad in some kind of evaporated milk like goop. It wasn't very tasty at all and I tried to pick the micro greens out of it. The quail was very delicious and thankfully small. The skin was crisp, meat moist, and seasoning acceptable. I also had blue catfish which I can get seven ways from Sunday, but opted for something less costly so I can have dessert also. It was served over cheesy grits with a Tabasco vinaigrette and succotash. Wifey had crabcakes and she thought they were delicious too. Finally, I had key lime pie and it was the best key lime pie ever. Kudos to the in house pastry chef. We sat upstairs in the covered deck that oversees higher sight lines and rooftops. You can eek out some bay views if you look hard enough. The space was lovely and also contained some level of nautical blues, whites, and of course your prototypical browns. Nice touch with the mermaid statue. Will definitely come back if I'm in OCMD ever again. Sorry, forgot to take a photo of the meal. read more

Had a really nice experience at Tide to Table, and I have to give a huge shoutout to Jess. She was phenomenal! I had quite a few dietary restrictions, and she wasn't even phased. She made sure I felt comfortable, accommodated, and taken care of throughout the meal. Honestly, I'd probably go back just for her! The food was pretty good overall, and the presentation was absolutely beautiful. The gumbo was okay, although I would have loved for it to come with some bread. The scallops were cooked perfectly, but unfortunately, I left still feeling hungry. For the price point, I think the sides could be a little more generous. The quality and presentation are definitely there, but slightly larger portions would make the experience feel more worthwhile. read more

My friend and I had a marvelous time at Tide to Table! From the hostess stand to the bar to our waiter, we experienced such friendly and lovely service throughout the evening. Drinks My friend enjoyed her Aperol drink--and I think it quickly did its job of getting her a little buzzed! I ordered the cucumber drink, but we felt it wasn't quite balanced. My friend had some lemon and mint from her drink, so we added those to mine and WOW--what a difference! It completely transformed the drink. Starters & Dinner We started with the tuna nachos, which had a really nice blend of flavors--slightly sweet and slightly salty. The chips were fantastic and really did taste like a light, crispy wonton! Now for the fun stuff... Our server recommended the tilefish and swordfish, so naturally, we tried both. I had the swordfish, and I really enjoyed it. The sauce, grits, and blackened flavor all worked beautifully together. Some of the thinner portions of fish were a tad overcooked, but overall, I still really enjoyed the dish. My friend ordered the tilefish, which was cooked beautifully! Her fish came in an extremely light and delicate sauce. She really enjoyed it, although I personally would have preferred a little more intensity and flavor in the sauce. Okayyy... so you're wondering about dessert?! YES. I tried the Watermelon Fizz because it sounded fun--and it was delicious! It reminded me of a Jolly Rancher, but without being nearly as sweet. Perfect for my palate. My friend tried the espresso martini, which she thought was just okay. And then came the desserts... We ordered the goat cheese cake--YUMMMMM! And the flourless chocolate cake--also YUMMMMM! Both were incredible. And did you know they have a specific pastry chef?! Bravo! We totally approve. We would absolutely come back to Tide to Table and try more of the menu. We love that the offerings are always changing, which gives us an excuse to come back and explore more. P.S. Parking is limited right near the entrance, but there is a sign directing you to additional parking a little farther down. So bring your appetite--and your second stomach just for dessert! We had a wonderful evening and would definitely return! read more

We had an excellent dinner at Tide to Table. The ambiance is nice. A coastal feel. Our waitress was super nice and helpful! We had the lobster bisque. They put lots of lobster claw meat in each bowl. We had a beet goat and arugula salad that was really good. The beets come out layered with the goat cheese in a pie slice shape which was something I've never seen before. The scallops were perfectly cooked. Everything was presented very nicely. It's a fancier restaurant as far as the menu goes. Main dish in the $40's. read more

Been coming to OCMD for 24 years so looking for a new spot to eat and found this place. Did not disappoint! Check-in getting seated was a little unorganized but once we got to the table Anna took great care of us. Service was great and timely impressive considering all the large parties. A lot of the seating is outside - we didn't know that when we made our reservation so ended up outside upstairs but it was a nice night so worked out well. Restaurant is well appointed and the fish was fresh and sauces delightful we got a tuna appetizer and I got the rockfish my husband the halibut. The menu changes frequently so all the fish is fresh. The owner Bobby stopped by to check on us he was very hands on all night making sure things were running smoothly. We really enjoyed our visit. I think we found a new regular spot! read more

This was our first visit to Tide to Table. We came on a Thursday evening around 6pm and were seated right away without a reservation. Our server was Harold and he was awesome!! He was very attentive, our water glasses were never empty and he was prompt to take our order and check on us once food was delivered. He recommended some dishes to us which we ended up ordering. The food was FANTASTIC!! We had the Ahi Tuna nachos, the tuna tacos, and the scallop entree. Every single bite was heaven!! The food was fresh and light, and tasted incredible. We will absolutely be back! read more

An outstanding dinner! This place is absolutely incredible. We sat at the bar with Zach and Bea, and they are fantastic bartenders! We had the Swordfish Entree (seasoned beautifully), Black Cod (light and delicious), and Sea Scallops (sub Parmesan grits from Corn Mash - so sweet & fresh) ... everything was absolutely top notch. I have grown up here & lived in Ocean City for 20 years, and this place is like no other around. We had the Goat Cheesecake for dessert & we could not stop passing the plate to each other. Tide to Table is a must have if you are in North OC area! read more

Tide to Table just became our new favorite spot in OC. Everything about this meal was on point. James was a fantastic server all night, attentive and easy going without ever missing a beat. But the real treat was talking with Bobby, one of the owners, who took the time to walk us through the menu and steer our picks. Every single recommendation was a hit. The crab gumbo and lobster bisque were both incredible, and the cobia and blackened swordfish were cooked perfectly. We ended with a pistachio cake for dessert that was honestly one of the best we've had, rich and not overly sweet. Great food, great service, and an owner who genuinely cares about the guest experience. Can't wait to go back. read more

Awesome restaurant. Wonderful service. EXCELLENT FOOD. Highly recommended and don't forget to treat yourself to one of the DELICIOUS DESSERTS! read more

Atmosphere was lovely. Wait staff was nice. Drinks were good. Food was fine. Appreciated the fresh catch but was sadly disappointed by receiving 4 green beans as the vegetable with my meal. I understand costs associated with running a restaurant are challenging, but this is the item they chose to save money on? The dish cost $48. I think having 8-10 greens beans for a full serving would not be unreasonable to expect. It was the cheapest item on my plate. Based on all the other 5 star reviews from happy customers, maybe it was just my meal that felt lacking. read more

So this is a half positive half negative review. First and foremost, the waitress we had was awesome. If all the services is good, they have a fighting chance. First issue, they do not have enough parking to accommodate even a small section of the restaurant. And you have to park south a block in another restaurant parking lot that is empty, because he only served breakfast and lunch. Also, most of their seating is outside on two patios. That needs to be said, and the reservation needs to be able to choose preference. I don't wanna sit outside when it's hot and muggy. And we almost left at that point. They're able to accommodate us at a table on the first floor. Which was very nice of them. Now on to the food, which I honestly thought was a little expensive, but I also understand what you're trying to do. I ordered the crab and shrimp gumbo to start. And I'm always a little bit hesitant when it isn't just chicken. Gumbo is a cheap stew that is meant to serve multiple people. With that said, this was really really good. It was a dark chocolate roux, Seasoned very well, had like four midsize shrimp, crab, and andouille sausage, etc. And for me, it was the best part of the meal (even for $16). The wife's got the roasted beet and goat cheese, terrain. It was good, the Wife thought a little heavy in the goat cheese, I did not. An interesting take on roasted beet salad, and good, but not sure if it's $17 good. The Wife ordered the duck. And it was a complete disaster. It had been skinned so no fat. It had been rushed to be cooked. It was dry, and well overdone. Life served medium well. Duck should be served, medium rare, cooked on the skin side down after rendering off almost all the fat on the bottom. And then turned one time for about three minutes, it should be cooked 90% on the skin side. This was not, and it $46, they need to learn how to cook duck if they're gonna keep it on their menu. Plus, it was not sliced very well. There were chunks that I had to cut up multiple times just to put on a for eat. Duck should be sliced about 3/8 of an inch thick. The sauce came with it was very tasty, but did not make up for that duck. I got the black and swordfish. Seizing was on point. Swordfish was overcooked. By about one minute. It wasn't dry, but it was overcooked. and for $39... For dessert I got the carrot cake. The carrot cake was really good. Seasoned properly, still moist, it was good Care cake and should be for $13. read more

Great new restaurants in Ocean City owned and run by real locals. Service, drinks, and food excellent. Both the Bluefin Tuna and Wahoo entrees are a must. The Milton chocolate cake was stellar better than Morton's Steak House. A must if in OC. Reminds me of Local's Raw in Beaufort SC - people that are passionate about food and service using truly local ingredients. read more

Great spot! We had a nice table inside downstairs. All of the food was delicious. I can't stop thinking about the lobster bisque. Didn't get a picture but the swordfish and tuna were loved!

Where to start, the place here is immaculate! We sat upstairs and outside and it was so beautiful. The food was absolutely outstanding. I ordered the prime cut steak and it was the most expensive thing in the menu, but the amount of food on my plate was perfect, almost hard to finish. The steak was cooked perfectly and the veggies were some of the best I've ever had. The service was wonderful as well and the food took the perfect amount of time where I know it was all cooked fresh but did not take too long either! read more

We had a wonderful dinner at Tide to Table!! There were 10 of us and we sat outside on the first floor and it was very comfortable. Mimosa was our waitress and she was friendly, sweet and attentive. Chef/Owner Bobby came over to our table, and suggested apps and deserts. Each one was amazing!!! Standouts were the crab cake, watermelon and feta salad, and thinly sliced beet layer salad. I ordered the blackened swordfish which was delicious! My husband ordered the braised short ribs and he was very pleased. Other diners enjoyed all their entrees. The only disappointment was the chicken dish (but who orders chicken at a seafood restaurant? Haha). The desserts were fabulous - especially the goat cheesecake, and the cherry ice cream (everyone was surprised by the velvety texture!). Highly recommend this special restaurant! read more

Beautiful space, excellent food and desserts and amazing service! We really enjoyed our time here and will definitely be back soon!

We learned about this restaurant and were very excited to give it a try. It is the location of the old Mother's north. Upon reading the web page, we were exited for the opportunity to patronize a local restaurant with product not frozen from a Sysco or US Foods truck like so many places are. We heard the hype of required reservations, but there were countless empty seats during our visit and they were welcoming people from off the street. The place is very clean, as you would expect a new place to be. Decor is cool and they have some outside seating upstairs. The place is exceptionally loud. I know this is an issue for many, but for a place that appears to want to portray itself as upscale, it was undoubtedly too loud. They could use some of those sound dampeners that can absorb some of the loudness. They say that the menu changes regularly, but we were handed the exact same menu as was on line. I do see that the menu on line today has changed. For appetizers we had a salad and the Scallops Carpaccio. Being pescatarian, I consume a lot of scallops. So this was an easy selection for me. But, I have to admit to being ignorant to the fact that Carpaccio meant that it was a raw dish. It was very unique. I was not sure if I was going to like it, but I was a gamer when it came to the table. It had quite a bit of passion fruit juice on it which really was an interesting combination. I finished my plate and was glad I had this one of a kind selection. The salad was fine. For the entrees we had blue fin tuna and a swordfish meal. The blue fin was so so. Creamy in a coconut broth which took away from the taste of the tuna itself. But it was fine. The swordfish over grits was absolutely amazing. Perfectly cooked and so delicious. Although, we all know grits are cheap, they were pretty stingy with the portion. Another scoop would cost pennies and welcomed. This was among the best swordfish that I have ever eaten. I believe our Server was named Mason. He was right on point and seemed happy and excited to be there. He was proud of the restaurant and really hyped everything up. Upon completion of the meal, we asked Mason about a dish we saw on the menu that jumped out for us. It was a fresh halibut entree. Having visited Alaska a few times and eating halibut there for breakfast, lunch and dinner and snacks in between, we were intrigued about fresh halibut being in Ocean City. They stress the local nature of their sourcing but this seemed odd to me. So, we asked Mason where the halibut was from. He said he did not know but he would go ask the Head Chief. Mason returned a few minutes later and said the halibut was caught either in Ocean City or down in North Carolina. Having experience with halibut in Alaska, we always thought this was a cold water fish from up north. We rolled with the answer but followed up later with a quick google search. It was easy to find that halibut do not head that far south down the east coast. In Virginia it says halibut are "extremely rare and a once in a lifetime experience". That is Virginia, so how could this entree be being presented from North Carolina. Furthermore, we live on the marina where countless fishing yachts are stationed. The huge vessels that go out for Marlin during the world famous White Marlin Open. Wanting to get a verification, I asked several Captains about the claim of fresh halibut being served that was harvested from either Ocean City or North Carolina. They all laughed and said impossible. This verified my concern. If Tide To Table is really serving halibut, where is it coming from? Is it frozen? Or is it some cheaper fish being sold as halibut? I wanted to really like this restaurant and was hoping to make it a regular. But we feel like we were intentionally mislead and that is not ok. If not for the halibut situation this would have been a solid 4 rating. The noise would keep it from being a 5. But, having appeared to be misled by the sourcing, they get a 2. If Chef Bobby or Executive Chef Tim decides to reach out and clarify what exactly is the truth about the halibut, I will gladly give a new rating. I just can not help but feeling that if I was misled about one thing, what else am I not wise to behind the scenes. It is not a good feeling. read more

It was loud and many tables close together. The lobster bisque was good and priced decent, but the 2 crab cakes were small and the mashed potatoes were non existent. Wife and I ordered the same lobster bisque and crab cakes entre. Crab cakes were a rip off. 150 plus a 20 tip. Service was good but that crab cake dinner was a joke portion wise. Left hungry and and feeling ripped off. read more

​Outstanding food, even better people! ​My wife and I dined at Tide to Table on Sunday, July 5th. Going out the day after a major holiday weekend can be a gamble since staffing is notoriously tough, but this team didn't skip a beat. Knowing the owner, Bobby, and Pat, I already expected a great experience from them--but what truly blew us away was how incredible the entire staff was. ​From the warm, welcoming hostess who greeted us, to the servers who were genuinely attentive to every single guest, to the bartender who went out of their way to make sure my wife and I were having a fantastic time, the hospitality here is next-level. ​The food was fresh, unique, and absolutely outstanding. Bobby and Tim have done an incredible job with the menu--the smoked ceviche was unbelievable, and the fresh swordfish was cooked to absolute perfection. ​Delicious food is one thing, but what makes Tide to Table truly stand out is the genuine care and experience that the staff and owners provide. Ocean City is incredibly lucky to have a restaurant of this caliber. We are already looking forward to many more visits! read more
