First time here. Nice looking restaurant, drinks were good but as usual for the area, expensive. Oysters were really good and fresh, clam chowder was just okay. Creamy, but not a lot of clams or anything else. Halibut was cooked perfectly, but it was a very small piece and honestly the seasoning was very mild. Probably would be better with just a butter/lemon sauce. It was a decent dinner, but I don't see going back regularly. read more

The food and drinks were good along with the atmosphere, They need to rethink the clam chowder however. Nice presentation but mostly a thin liquid with very few clams in any our servings . Not much to the taste and no substance. I thought maybe mine was just off but all of us had about the same amount of clams which was minimal, so I'll pass on that next time. read more

My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate his parents birthday and we had a lovely experience. We ordered a couple of the appetizers: Hamachi crudo, lobster roll, pork belly, oysters, and the crab cakes. All were delicious starters. For our main entree we shared the prime ribeye which was cooked perfectly and melts in your mouth with the butter sauce. To end the night we had the bread pudding. We loved the environment and where the restaurant was located. We will definitely be back to try their happy hour. read more

On December 3rd my wife and I joined another couple for dinner at The Tides. This was the first time for all of us but we have read good reviews and were anticipating a great dining experience. WOW, were we wrong. It was not crowded but had a large party of 12 which they were getting most of the teams attention. The menu did look appealing. The couple we were with ordered a salad, the French Onion soup and decided to share the Black Cod. My wife and I shared a Caesar Salad which came to the table on two plates (split). She ordered the Cioppino and I ordered the Blackened Alaskan Halibut. The first issue can when our guest received his French Onion Soup, there was no spoon. It took several minutes to get the attention of a server. Then our guest got the next surprise, when the Black Cod was served to them, it was on one plate and a second plate was not provided. When the server came back with our remaining dishes, our guest asked for a second dinner plate. The waitress explained to them that upon sharing a dinner, no second plate is provide. Our guest was somewhat upset at this was not explained to us and reminded her this was a first visit. She apologized and returned with a plate at no cost. Next mistake, my wife did not get a spoon for her Cioppino. Thus, both soup dishes were served with no spoon. The staff was somewhat busy with the large party so once again, it took some time to get the spoon. As for the food, the quality of my Blackened Alaskan Halibut was excellent but for the seasoning, it was very poor and lacked salt. Blackened is not a term I would use. My wife did enjoy her Cioppino but nothing outstanding. Finally, our guest felt the same about the Black Cod. Nothing outstanding. To be fair, the waitress comped our guest their Black Cod and provided coffee and/or dessert. Yet, the best was yet to come. Whenever we go out to dinner, we always split the entire bill. The waitress went over the check with me and I made it clear to split the entire bill in half. She returned with the rung up bill with our two credit cards. It took me a minute to add it up. Upon looking at it, my bill was over $200 and my guest was charged for only their salad and soup. For the sake of looking cheap, I covered the my bill. Her failure to once again follow instructions cost my much more than expected. Just for the food alone, I would not go here for a meal. There are to many great restaurants in Danville to spend your well earned money here. read more

We met for Happy Hour this past Wednesday, sat on the darling patio with Kobe my chihuahua. Right out the gate they brought Kobe a personal size, stainless steel, bowl, "water poured table side", he loved it. Jason W was our server, he was exceptional! I ordered all of his recommendations and have been dreaming of going back since! The food was sooo incredibly yummy, we loved everything we ordered. We'll be back real soon, I'll keep my eye out for Jason. read more

Forbes Steakhouse owners opened Tides officially 8/3/23. For only being open two days the restaurant was running as a well oiled machine. Typical of many new restaurant launches, they had a soft opening about a week ago. The restaurant is elegant but casual. Servers have been trained with classic table management skills like proper silverware and glass placement. This was no surprise, since that is the service we get at Forbes. It appears senior servers were also training new servers tonight so I fully expect service to became a tad less attentive, but exceptional, as the restaurant gets into the daily groove. We started with the Caesar salad. This was not your ordinary Caesar that is a boring pile of lettuce. The chef presented the salad very attractively. The homemade Parmesan crisp was standing up just waiting to be eaten. Taste was excellent. Our next coarse was seared scallops over corn succotash. Wow! Next was the Ora King salmon over pea purée, pea and wild mushrooms and pea tendrils. Ora is possibly the best mild salmon, but still flavorful. Ora is sustainably farmed in New Zealand. It is highly sought after. The sauce could have had a tad more flavor to blend with the flavorful salmon. The green beans were nicely done without being over cooked. For desert we had the Lemon chiffon cake. The presentation was exceptional and nothing like we expected. It was a great ending to the evening. Clearly, Tides wants to push the presentation and flavor envelopes. Note: servers made certain we knew the restaurant was starting with a small menu and would be embellishing it as the kitchen and patrons help define an expanded menu. We look forward to seeing how the menu evolves. We strongly recommend you give them a try. We will be back. read more

I came in with the party of 11. Janice was so accommodating and so kind. I wish I remembered our waiter's name because he was so attentive and organized. He really made the experience seamless. We truly loved every aspect of our visit and couldn't have asked for a better. We started with the calamari, The crab toast ,clam chowder crab cakes and Caesar salad was to die for! Everything was truly amazing! Try this place out!!! read more

TIDES! The overall experience was more than palatable it was a whole event! The wife and I tapped into the remodel and transformation given it was a different restaurant last year. The service was satisfying! The ambiance was family centered and had good vibes all around! We hope to return again soon! read more

Came here with my husband for my birthday dinner and got food poisoning from the undercooked salmon. I was up for hours in the bathroom. My husband made a reservation and they sat us at a high top next to the bar. I assumed we would sit somewhere nicer. The drinks and dessert were great, as well as our server. We called the next day to let them know what happened and were able to speak to the manager. She was very empathetic and offered us a full refund. Due to her, I plan on returning to Tides, but definitely not ordering salmon again. read more

So disappointing!! Not recommended at all if you are with your kids and specially if you are a single parent . I made a reservation and made it clear I am coming myself with my 3 kids , as soon we were sorted ohh no one else is going to join you ? This question was sled 4 times by 2 different staff. It was my 5 Th time coming here first time I cam with my kids and it was an awful experience. Definitely not friendly to single parent with there kids , tuna was not clean and had parts that was not ateble, the sea bass was undercooked, cream burle was literally sugar instead of Carmel . Very low quality level of food and cousin and customer service there staff has awful attitude . The worst part was we had a dessert and as a single father with 3 boys we get up all to the restroom after the kids started to eat the dessert and when we were back appeared they just picked up the dessert and ensure we will just leave . Do not spend your money here not worth it read more

Shortly after posting my review, I learned we were charged wrongly for our meal and Janet, the Manager made it right for us. She also, said the sweet ingredient should not have been plated that way. Apologized for that so I would like to alter my review and say that Tides great ingredients to work with and the plate I chose was not actually plated correctly with the bottom sauce. She made it right as a good customer service oriented Manager and Restaurant should. I will be returning in the near future. Thanks Janet! read more

This place hat really improved, my friend and I came to celebrate my birthday 11/15, (we didn't mention) he had the cioppino, he said it was amazing, I had the fish & chip it was really good, had for dessert the pumpkin cheesecake that was really good i guess cause of the season lol, we'll be back, specially for the amazing calamari, thank you so much read more

Food and service was amazing. Never had to hunt down the waiter. Also, it's right across from a convenient parking lot. Pasta, filet mignon, prime rib, even the bread was amazing. Really like that they don't give you cold butter. Also dessert was interesting and surprisingly scrumptious. Not too sweet. Went there for a family special occasion and would return for sure. read more

I have been to many restaurants and Tides in Danville has it all: ambience, service, and amazing food! Daniel H. Was our server and he was the most attentive server we have ever had! Highly recommended this restaurant! read more

Went here for the first time to celebrate a special occasion, big mistake. The service was as poor as you can imagine. Our server was short, rude, and barely acknowledged us, but had no problem rushing over with the bill. No warmth, no care, just attitude. I'm not spending my hard-earned money on that kind of treatment..No thank you. read more

Fantastic Happy Hour! Great cocktails, friendly staff & some of the best blistered shishito peppers. Drinks are creative and affordable, the vibe is fun, and happy hour deals make it easy to come back again and again. Highly recommend! read more

We have dined here a handful of times and it does not disappoint! Service is always impeccable and food tastes very fresh. Now if only they had a tasting menu! We always start off with the bread and miso butter which pair perfectly! The whole red snapper is our go to each visit. Perfectly moist and cooked to perfection. Is it pricey, sure but justified for the area and the quality of food. Can't wait for our next visit! read more

Tides, a sister restaurant of the luxurious steakhouse Forbes Mill nearby, is the new kid on the block. I'm usually a skeptic of seafood spots as most establishments can't hold a finger to the likes of North Beach, a district famed for its seafood but decided to try Tides on a whim anyways. Boy, am I glad I did. The service initially was pretty slow and the menu erred on the pricier end, so I wasn't super impressed right off the bat. It wasn't until our dishes came out where my opinion made a complete 180. We shared the Seafood Louie and Crab Cake as starters. Dish after dish, boasted incredible flavor and exquisite presentation. Cmon, the Seafood Louie looked more like a flower arrangement than a standard salad. Already impressed by the starters, the entrees were yet another caliber of delicious. I wholeheartedly believe I haven't had a better seafood risotto, the risotto wasn't overbearingly rich and the scallops were supple yet delightfully charred. The squid in pappardelle while not as wide as your typical pappardelle was incredible nonetheless. It was engulfed in a subtle white wine sauce that still allowed every marine flavor to shine through. The REAL star, as if I hadn't named plenty already, was the whole red snapper. My god, if you come here and don't order this, you will be sorry. Even as we dined, nearby tables ogled this dish, a testament to how good it truly was. It's lightly battered and fried (not like your run-of-the-mill beer batter cod) and sits atop an intensely flavorful chimichurri. The cherry on top was our dessert- the sourdough bread pudding. This, again, is a MUST GET. I'm an avid caramel hater (a sacrilege to many, I know... I'm working on it), but the caramel and toffee bits complemented this heavenly, carb-loaded dessert perfectly. I found myself sopping up every last drop of caramel until the spoon practically scraped the paint off the ceramic plate. Desserts have forever been ruined for me. Thanks, Tides. Anyways, this is all to say that Tides hasn't just met but exceeded all expectations. It's been a minute since a restaurant has truly impressed me. I'm sure no dish will leave you disappointed; perhaps your wallet might feel a bit sorry though. read more

I've had this spot bookmarked on my list to try as it's a fairly new restaurant in the Danville area. We didn't make reservations but should've since the only open seating left at 5:45 pm on a Saturday was at the bar or outside. We opted for bar seating but if you can, make a reservation for the indoor tables. Parking: no associated parking lot so street parking. It's located in an area where street parking might be difficult to find too so plan accordingly. Service: average. We were seated at the bar and the sun was shining right at our table. It would've been nice if the wait staff noticed it and lowered the blinds for a better dining experience. Also, our water was never refilled. Staff did check up on us periodically to see how the food was. It didn't take long after ordering for our food to arrive. Food: above average for taste, and presentation but below average for portion size relative to cost. It's a pricy restaurant, for 2 dishes and 1 dessert, the bill came out to be about $130 with tax and tip. We ordered the lobster tagliatelle, Chilean sea bass and the lemon chiffon cake. My husband said his lobster dish was ok. Sauce was bland. Out of the 3 plates, the portion size was probably the best for this one. The Chilean sea bass was so delicious. The outside had a good crust and the fish nearly melted in my mouth with every bite. The flavors were amazing, with the coconut milk, and the basil and the plating was beautiful. This is probably the best tasting Chilean sea bass I've ever had compared to all the ones I've had at other restaurants in the past. However, the portion size was disappointing. The piece I received for my plate was super small and it took only a few bites to finish the entire thing. I was hungry afterwards. The cost of that dish didn't justify the portion size. I noticed others posted pictures of it and the piece they got was bigger so perhaps, weight the amount of the fish before it's cooked it so there is consistency across the board. The lemon chiffon cake was amazing, the plating was so pretty like a piece of art and the flavors went well together. I would actually come back just for their dessert. Cost was reasonable for it as well. Ambiance: high class, elegant. A perfect spot to bring a date or for special celebrations. Overall, 3.5 stars but rounded up to 4 because of the dessert. read more

Excellent seafood restaurant in Danville for medium sized gatherings, date night, and celebrations. For appetizers, we started out with shrimp cocktail and a dozen oysters. Shrimp were massive and perfectly prepared, only issue is the cocktail sauce and mayo they provided could have had a little more kick or spice. Oysters were very good. I thought the smaller oysters had better natural flavor. The larger ones needed a bit more sauce. We usually get clam chowder but the appetizers were very filling. I got petrale sole, my friend got the sea bass, and my other friend got filet mignon. Filet was cooked perfectly and accompanied by roast potatoes. Petrale sole was terrific with a butternut squash sauce. Sea bass is one of their signature dishes, but you better like coconut milk. It is Thai-inspired which is great, but if you are not a fan of coconut, I would recommend another dish. We finished with the apple sourdough bread pudding. It's really good. Like a blend of coffee cake and French toast. Service is on point and the decor is very classy. It is a bit pricey so would likely be for special occasions for me. Worth checking out. read more

Came here Christmas Eve dinner and figured by all the good reviews we would have a solid meal. Ambiance was very inviting and cozy with all the greenery and candles. Arrived with a semi chilled bottle of Veuve,definitely needed to be put on ice and I told our server that. Instead he said it was fine, and popped it and poured the bubbles. I was already annoyed, and it took him a solid ten minutes to grab a bucket of ice for the remainder. We had inquired about a kids menu and were told they didn't have a tangible menu but a verbal one. It was either chicken, steak or salmon on top a bed of buttered pasta. We figured since the regular chicken entree was 24$ the kids meal was probably below that. I ordered the ciopinno. For 45$ it lacked seafood. I got one scallop, a few shrimp and the rest just filler mussels and oysters. Seemed way too overpriced for what it contained. The base was delicious though but come on hook it up?! My mom ordered the short rib. It had this horrible sweet tangy sauce on it and sadly she didn't eat much. Who wants a sweet sauce? No thank you. Our waiter had a very uneasy abrupt vibe. At one point I saw him counting his tips in the corner of the restaurant in front of all the patrons which seemed pretty classless. None of us were happy with our entrees and when the bill came I was astounded that a kids meal was 34$? How on earth can a piece of chicken over pasta cost that when the regular chicken entree was cheaper by 10$? It definitely goes to show it's not worth leaving your house anymore to eat out. This place was over priced and the food did not live up to the hype. The server was not friendly or welcoming in any way and made us feel rushed. read more

The food was good with the portions being on the smaller side. What really bothered our table was how the staff kept trying to up us sell more. We felt like it happened every single time they came to the table, very poor form. Why not present a proper plate that does not have to have add ons at every junction of the meal. We all get sold hard at every junction of life, we shouldn't have to be sold getting a nice meal. I can't recommend this place. read more

Update: The owner took the initiative to find my contact information from Yelp reservation to reach out to me and investigate the tip changing situation. She was very kind to offer a refund on the tip difference and invite us back for some food. While I decline the food invitation, I appreciated her going above and beyond to correct what I experienced. Will be happy to visit again in the future! Original: This is the first time we have a server that changed the tip amount. We gave a 18% tip but our server changed it to 20%. While we enjoyed the food and the ambiance, this sort of dishonesty is unacceptable. It's a few dollars more, so I am too lazy to pursue any action against this, but I would warn anyone trying to dine here that you might get a server who will change your tip amount. read more

Everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and kind. We brought our baby and they helped us get a high chair and were very helpful. The food and drinks came out very quickly and timely.

The food at Tides was excellent! My husband and I ordered the brussels sprouts and lobster toast as appetizers. Both were delicious, especially the lobster toast. I also enjoyed the clam chowder, which came with so many clams and bacon before the soup was poured over the clams, making such a delicious soup. I ordered the Chilean sea bass, and my husband ordered the short ribs as our entrees. The sea bass was perfect; how do they keep the meat so tender with a perfectly grilled exterior?! The short rib was also delicious (my husband gave me a bite of it). Such a surprise considering this is a seafood restaurant. Service was excellent; our server was very attentive, but not intrusive. Love the high ceiling! We had a wonderful meal and can't wait go back! Highly recommend! read more

Had a date night here and everything was so delicious, our plates were cleaned off when our server took em all away. I am a gin gal and their cocktail called Wild Eyes is a standout among the many many gin cocktails I've ever had over the years. I had 2 when I almost have a rule of only having 1 cocktail a meal. Hubby is an Old Fashioned cocktail guy and he loved his drink here as well. The crab cake is delicious!! I ordered the scallop risotto and he had the Chilean sea bass and we were both mmmm-ing the entire time laughing at how we have to play it cool and not be so rambunctious with our approval lol The bread budding is soo yummy, so well done. I highly recommend this place. Travis was our server and he was attentive and nice. We'll definitely be back! read more

Updated review! A true gem in Danville. This is one of the few seafood places in the area, and they do it right! With a fresh selection of shellfish and fish, you'll have no problem finding your favorite dish here. The environment is perfect for a family gathering or a date to impress. Service is also top of the line for this family owned business. All the staff are friendly and walk you through the menu, which may be confusing in some seafood restaurants. My brother didnt feel his dish was fresh and Janet, one of the managers, set things right. She's a wonderful person who is the cherry on top! read more

Very cute place but was a little chilly. We started with the Baguettini with the delicious miso butter and the Shishito peppers. The Pom-Rose-Tini is highly recommended, I really enjoyed the pomegranate boba at the bottom. Main dishes were also fire! I had the scallops and risotto and I can say this is one of the best ones I have had in a very long time. Nice fat scallops with a good sear on them cooked perfectly (I hate overcooked seafood). The risotto was so delicious I ate the rest for breakfast . Hubby had the filet which was seasoned and cooked perfectly. I will be back to try the Sea Bass but it will be very hard to pass up the scallops and risotto. read more

I went to Tides on a Sunday evening with a couple of friends. One of my friends had been there before but myself and my other friend hadn't. So, we all ordered caesar salads. The dressing was yummy but I couldn't even eat all of the salad, because most of it was the core of the romaine heart. Really hard to cut. $14 for a salad I couldn't eat all of, kind of a waste. My friend and I both ordered the sea-bass dish and my other friend ordered the lobster pasta dish. The dishes were both good, but for the price of the sea-bass there should be a vegetable included with the meal. Also, I would like to add that the online menu shows the sea-bass being $32 but the menu in the restaurant shows $46, which is a BIG difference in price. Needless to say when we got the bill we were rather shocked of our cost. The atmosphere is really nice. The guy clearing plates and pouring water was great, Maddux always was on top of it. I will also say that the way the paying system works is rather confusing. Bring a bill, process all the cards at the table, then go and get the receipts from the printer and bring us each all new bill folds. Kind of a lot for such an easy process. read more

Noticed this in the former Albatross space and decided to pop in. Similar seating options with more formal tables, high-top bar seating with TVs, and outdoor (dog-friendly) area. The ambiance is dark and lush with large plants. Our service was friendly. We got the clam chowder, which was poured table side and was nicely chunky. The seared scallops (2 pc) were tender but overwhelmed with too much aioli. I was not huge on the lobster tagliatelle, as it was a bit too heavy & creamy for my preference and the noodles clumped together. For dessert, they have a pastry chef! The passion fruit tart was delightful, and the homemade coffee ice cream was solid. Nice higher-end place in the neighborhood. They mentioned the menu is smaller since it's still relatively new, and they plan to add more options in the future. read more
