I can't wait to return!! Yup it was that good. We stopped by for dinner since we were in the area. It was a Wednesday evening and it was somewhat busy. It's easy to assume the weekend is even busier especially being by the water. Oh complimentary valet is available. The vibe was pretty good. We sat on the covered deck. Ok on to the best part; the food! It was fresh and completely amazing. We started with coconut shrimp (I was so excited to try it I forgot to snap a pic). My friend had the crab cake sandwich for her entree and she LOVED IT! I had the fish tacos which were super fresh, the mango added a perfect happiness in my mouth. We can't wait to return.
Just recently visited Tide House in Stuart, Florida. The ambiance and elevated views overlooking the marina and the Causeway are truly outstanding -- absolutely beautiful and one of the restaurant's strongest assets. I've dined here previously and had a great experience, so I'm offering this visit with a spirit of fairness and understanding. We arrived right at 5:00 PM and were aware this was during a shift change. That said, it took quite some time to be seated, and once at our table we waited close to 10 minutes before anyone acknowledged us. A waitress eventually stopped by, kindly explaining that we were not in her section but that she would either find our server or take care of us herself. She returned shortly after and took our drink order. It took another 10 minutes or so for our drinks to arrive. We ordered Cadillac margaritas and then placed an appetizer order of chicken wings. The wings, although on the smaller side, were absolutely wonderful -- super crispy, flavorful, and one of the highlights of the evening. For entrées, we ordered a flatbread and the ribs with a crab cake, which our waitress mentioned was one of their most popular dishes. There was a fairly long wait for the food, during which we ordered a second round of drinks. When the entrées arrived, unfortunately the ribs and sweet potato fries were cold, and the flatbread was barely cooked. That said, the crab cake itself was excellent -- big chunks of fresh crab, well-seasoned, and genuinely delicious. I'm very particular about crab cakes (I've been making Robert Duvall's recipe religiously for nearly 20 years), so when I say this one was good, I truly mean it. We sent the ribs back, and to her credit, our waitress promptly brought out a fresh order. At that point, we decided to simply take the flatbread home. Where the experience truly unraveled was at the check. Upon reviewing the bill, we noticed we had been charged $32 for a Cadillac margarita. We politely asked about this, and the waitress escalated the concern to the bar manager. He explained that they charge an additional $13 for a shot of Grand Marnier floated on top and offered to remove only $2 from the drink. I expressed that a $30+ margarita -- especially one made with bottled lime juice -- is not reasonable. The standard margarita price on the menu is around $13. After a second conversation, the drink was finally adjusted, but still rang in at $19. Our waitress genuinely did her best and appeared quite overwhelmed. I do not fault her. The breakdown here was clearly on the management side -- from floor oversight during shift change, to food quality control, to how the pricing issue was handled. I normally do not leave negative reviews. I believe everyone can have an off day. However, this experience should have been managed much better, particularly given the caliber of location and price point Tide House aims to represent. With stronger leadership presence and better communication, this could easily return to being the excellent dining experience I've had here in the past.
3.3. Nice spot. Service was friendly. Crab cake was excellent. Other things okay. Flatbread good. Ambiance was nice.
This is a 3 [aka a mixed review] for several reasons. The food, I didn't even get a picture of because it was delicious, and I was hungry and forgot to take a picture until it was too late. I had two apps as my meal -- the poke wonton nachos (amazing) and the sesame tuna (amazing). Together these were the perfect amount of food for me. The drinks, I had a skinny margarita (hold your jokes) which was delicious, and then I had a PB&J old fashioned, which was... not something I'd get again (I should've known from looking at the ingredients it would be a bit sweet and really just taste like an elongated skrewball shot) It's of no fault of the business, but as someone who is a fan of mixology, I'm not sure I would've invented this but I'm sure some people like it. I wish I'd gotten the CuTini instead to be honest. The view is really nice too, and the place has great indoor and outdoor options with a long and large bar area. Now the reason this is a mediocre review is because of all the other factors. While they did do a tremendous job seating us as a large group, I can't help be be disappointed in a couple elements that are all management related, and none service related. The servers were actually great in doing the best they could with what they had to work with, and large groups are always annoying (I didn't even like being in the group to be honest) but they handled it like champs. Here's the thing, if you look at the Specials sign, I think a logical person might interpret the drinks listed DIRECTLY ABOVE HAPPY HOUR to be part of the Happy Hour specials! Nope. Apparently none of these are part of the list. I mean this is just a deceitful approach. Maybe it's by accident, but it's a common sense thing in my opinion. Don't put Happy Hour on the same sign as a bunch of drinks that aren't part of Happy Hour. Even if you need to rely on servers to inform what is included or isn't (which should've been mentioned at some point) you're only setting yourself up for possible frustration when the bill comes rather than getting out in front of it. The biggest issue however, was this was on Mother's Day, when you know for a fact there's going to be a LOT of people around going out to eat that weekend. They were missing half the items that our group was looking to get. They just kept coming back saying we don't have this, we don't have that, we don't have this either. One item we were informed wasn't available around 5 minutes before the food came out (which makes me question... how did it take 40 minutes to realize the thing you were making 30 minutes ago was not in stock?) Also for management, how are you not adequately stocking for this type of weekend? If it's a new business, they may not know ebs and flows but established places should be able to pretty easily anticipate how much food they need to have. And if they really don't have a bunch of stuff, again, rather than waiting for people to order and then disappoint them, just get out in front of it...
The view was fantastic, but the overall experience was disappointing. We didn't have a reservation and was told the wait for a table was 45 minutes. Fortunately, we were able to get a first-come, first-served high top table. However, despite the long wait, the table was still not ready an hour and a half later. To make matters worse, the fryer was broken, which severely limited our food options. The Baja fish tacos were overcooked, and the blackened fish (which was priced at market price) was a huge disappointment. The serving size very small and priced at $38.
Finding a good weekend happy hour is always nice, but on the water, is icing on the cake. A group of us swung in Saturday afternoon and we were pleasantly surprised to be seated right off. (I am sure it is not like during season). They offer happy hour throughout the restaurant, (which I believe has changed since they first opened). After ordering some great $8 happy hour specialty cocktails, we ordered an abundance of appetizers that we all raved about (at 25% off). I believe we ended up ordering 3 extra orders of the deviled eggs and the same of the keg tots, after our original order! So at first I was stoked about the tots, because who doesn't love a good tater tot, then when they arrived I was bothered by the amount of tots in the order...but let me tell you, after the first bite, that next order was placed. We legit could not keep them on the table. So soft, flavorful and just delicious. We also enjoyed the giant pretzel, calamari, fish dip and hummus, which were all very good, but not as much of a crowd pleaser as the tots and eggs. We all did expect the chips that came with the hummus and fish dip to be warm, which I think might be a neat idea to through out there! Also, the calamari needs more praise, they were perfectly cooked and the sauce was to die for, I do wish it was a bigger portion. So overall, everything was great and I will surely be back, my only negative thoughts were the distance the bathrooms were for many of the tables (making it hard for seniors and kiddos running to wash their hands) and personalized drinks, like a double titos and soda, not having anything to do with happy hour and costing $20 per drink.
Amazing waterfront scenery. The valet parking was very convenient as there was limited parking around. Staff was amazing and accommodating helping to provide shade. The food was good, everyone was satisfied.
My cousin and I went for lunch. She wanted to eat near the water. I suggested the tide house. I had been there before. We were seated in their outdoor enclosed patio. The view was great. The sever came immediately and took our drink orders. Since we like appetizers rather than full meals we decided to split them. We ordered crispy calamari, crispy coconut shrimp the beet salad. After a few minutes the server came back and told us the chef did not like the way the calamari looked. She asked if we wanted to order something else. We told her we will decide after we have the other two. Much to our surprise she brought the calamari with the other two appetizers. She told us the chef found some good ones. The calamari was crispy and very good. The coconut shrimp was delicious. We were contemplating ordering another but decided to wait. The beet salad was full of beets and nuts and it had plenty of greens. It was big enough to split.The dressing was flavorful and delicious. The server came back after we were almost finished eating to see if we wanted anything else. We thought about ordering more shrimp but decided against it since we were getting full. They have a great menu. I had the clam chowder when I was there before and I was delicious. My cousin loved the place and said she'd definitely go back. They also have an outdoor patio with umbrella tables.

Beautiful waterfront restaurant. We typically dock the boat here for lunch but today drove there due to rainy weather. The parking was minimal but they do offer free valet. Docking has always been plentiful and easy. Great place to bring kids. We had kids ages 1,3,3,5. They have wiki sticks for them to play with and the kids enjoy the causal, waterside atmosphere as much as the adults. Unlimited mimosas were a hit! Food is fresh, light, refreshing. I would highly recommend for a classic Martin county food experience. Service was excellent. The Tiki boat bar stops here and it's only $10 all day. Can lead to a fun day. read more

My friends in Stuart took me to the Tide House by boat and docked at the pier of the restaurant. We made it just before the end of happy hour, so we could enjoy a great HH deal. I ordered Ahi Poke Nacho which was excellent. My friends loved it, too. For the main, I had Asian Noodle Salad which was also delicious. We saw dolphins from the patio - coming in from Southern California it was an excellent atmosphere. I'm looking forward to visiting this place again in the future when I visit my friends in Stuart. read more

Really enjoy the outside atmosphere, live music, and happy hour specials. We ordered the fish tacos which were delicious. We also had the shaved ribeye balsamic flatbread which was tasty but the red sauce on this was unappealing, I'm not a culinary expert but the sauce doesn't seem to fit the other flavor profiles. read more

What a great addition to Stuart. I believe I was told this is the same owners as Guanabanas. They did an amazing job redoing this space since it's been empty for so long. I know in the past they a parking situation and unfortunately it's still a problem. Not much parking but they do have valet. The views are spectacular with a large bar and outdoor seating. You just can't beat it. If you are looking for a seafood menu this isn't the place to go. They have a few options but nothing that wows me. My opinion on the food items I've tried. -Upside down pizza- good size, perfect for sharing. Definitely wasn't expecting what was put in front of me, pizza was literally upside down in a bowl shape. The taste was delicious with plenty of cheesy goodness. -ahi tuna nachos- they nailed this. It's your typical ahi tuna. Great taste, comes with chips. Maybe next time I would request a side of something besides the chips. Turn it into more of a meal then an appetizer. -duck flatbread- this was phenomenon and a must order. It sounds odd but just do it. It's pretty addicting with the chunks of duck and balsamic drizzled on top. -BLT- it's your typical BLT. Large amounts of bacon with avocado. I'm a big fan of adding avocado to my sandwiches. Also comes with fries but I always request sweet potato fries instead. Big fan of this sandwich. Chicken sandwich- I don't have much to say, I wasn't a fan of the bread. Which hurt the whole experience. Took it home and had it the next morning. Seemed to taste better after my workout. - flourless brownie- I ordered it too go and it just looked depressing. I guess I was expecting more for the price. I'll bake it myself. Over all.. great place to go especially with a group of friends. Great food, great atmosphere and great service. read more

We love this restaurant. But today's tuna roll looks wired. Maybe they used warm rice and it made tuna cooked? read more
View was fantastic! Our waitress Bella was super sweet and accommodating and helped me choose a dish option when everything on the menu sounded amazing and I was left so happy with the crunch fish rice bowl. I can't recommend this place enough! The good quality is top notch and you can't beat the view of the ocean and a beautiful breeze! read more

I was so excited to try this place as it is new and I heard it had the same ownership as Guanabanas, which I love, so off we went to have dinner on the water. The location is excellent. There are no other restaurants on this side and section of the river, so it has great views. I found the seating to be adequate as they had inside, covered outside and outside seating. The location alone would make this 5 stars. The service was great. We were promptly seated, and they allowed us to change our seats when we saw something better closer to the view. Our drinks came quick, our food came promptly but not too fast Our server was polite and had great suggestions. My biggest complaint is the menu itself, especially the seafood. This is FLORIDA, home of seafood, and the name of the restaurant makes you think that we can get some decent seafood options. When we looked at the menu, all the "fish" entries said "catch of the day". Now... I love eating almost every fish there is: mahi, swordfish, salmon, tilefish, cobia, snapper, tuna, escolar, you name it, I will eat it, and fish is my favorite meal to order at a restaurant. There is only one fish that I do not care for and will not order: Grouper. For some reason, that particular fish has a muddy flavor and slimy texture to me, so I just don't care for it. So guess what the catch of the day was... come on... guess!!!! You guessed it! The "Catch of the Day" was grouper. The only FISH on the entire menu at what I thought was a seafood restaurant was the one fish I don't like. They took a big gamble only having one fish on their menu. (Sorry, shrimp and lobster don't count... neither do clams, etc...) So, I ordered the Prime Rib. If I'm being honest, it was pretty good. Cooked perfectly and very tasty. My wife ordered the Pizza Pot Pie... which she has enjoyed the inspiration behind this in Chicago at the Chicago Pizza & Oven Grinder Co. and this was close... but needed a LOT more cheese. In fact, it had hardly any cheese on it. This place has the potential for 5 stars. It really does. I will go back and try again, but next time I am going to call ahead and see what the "catch of the day" is before I bother driving up. Kudos for making me write my longest review ever! read more

The view is great and nice for a meal but it's a bit pricey. The food is decent but nothing to write home about. Parking isn't great but they do have valet. read more

Once again a shame that a "redone" waterfront restaurant is trying to survive on their view... Please let this be a learning experience for management and owner(s) Dining out should always be about the excellent food, spectacular service, which in itself creates a what every restaurant should achieve- A non forgettable experience. The View is secondary. Please work on your food/menu, and teach your staff the menu, in detail, as well as the bar/wine/alcohol. Then, and this is SUPER IMPORTANT, teach the wait staff what it means to provide true "service" Im certain, if you do not, odds are this time next year, this place will once again,have another new name... Just sayin' read more

The atmosphere says it all over looking the river during the sunset was amazing. The music was fun playing in the background. The food was good we had smoked fish dip was was very good and a flatbread pizza ( which was more like a small pizza not a flat bread) We shared the crusted grouper which was very good. Definitely would go back to listen to the music and atmosphere read more
