Never got around to reviewing Time and Tide, so here it is. Went Jan 2, 2025, so they hadn't been open long. Service was perfect, restaurant is classy, and the food was outstanding. For drinks we had the Submariner, Cold Front, Marigold Paloma and a Young Master Jade Scorpion Pilsner. Drinks were light and refreshing. As for the food... we had to do the Plateau for two. It was fresh and amazing. You wanted to savor each nibble and appreciate the care that went into the simply prepared bites. We also had the Pickle Plate, Uni Toast, mushrooms, plantains as well as Swordfish for a main to share and olive oil cake for dessert. Time and Tide was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to NYNY. read more

We arrived at 5:30pm on a Wednesday evening for dinner. As we walked in, there's a large lobby area, prior to entering the restaurant. There, you are greeted by the welcoming staff & bar area. Time and Tide is large by NYC standards - there seem to be quite an abundance of tables. For a party of two, we ordered the following, which was a good amount of food. Nori Fries Pickles Goldfish Sordfish Streak While the Goldfish was a little eh & seemed like a bit of a shtick, don't sleep on the Nori Fries. Those were great!. Their cocktails were also a bit creative which I appreciated. read more

I came here on a weekday evening with a reservation. The restaurant space is large and you can see all of the dried fish similar to when Korean bbq restaurants hang up their meat. I thought the concept of "steakhouse but make it seafood" was such an interesting concept. I really loved the Cheddar Goldfish, it lived up to the hype, the compound butter that they used on the side was a perfect pairing. The longfin squid with cacio e pepe was an interesting take and had the perfect flavor and texture to mimic pasta. The tuna collar was a bit hard to eat and very filling. The spoons and forks worked better than the sea shell they had given us. It was a bit messy of a dish, which contrasted with the nice ambiance of the restaurant. My favorite was probably the halibut pithivier. We got the au poivre sauce which paired perfectly. The fish was tender and I really enjoyed this fresh new take on a beef wellington. I couldn't believe each additional sauce was $6, but I understood it after tasting the one we got. Overall, the service was lacking a bit. The waiters and waitresses seemed to not really know the menu well, but the food itself was very interesting, delicious and worth the cost. read more

If you want a unique dining menu, this is your spot. The chef is Danny Garcia who was on Top Chef and his knowledge of food definitely shines throughout the menu. I was with a group of 10, so we ordered majority of the menu. Highlights include the goldfish, caviar, fries, steak and tuna lettuce wraps. The olive oil cake and banana split were also fantastic desserts. Outside of the food, the service was incredible. My water glass was never empty and I was never without a cocktail. Bag and coat check is available. read more

This review is for the Time and Tide restaurant week menu, which had a lot of the populaf dishes from the regular menu for a much reduced price. My party also ordered a few other items to share in addition to the resfaurant week menu as well. Overall, my personal favorite dishes were the uni toast and the grilled sword fish. The uni toast was a bit light on the uni taste, but the spread for the toast had an amazing texture and blend of flavors. I am a huge fan of citrus and it is used on most of the items we ordered (savory and dessert), so be careful if the acidi taste is not for you! The drinks were also amazing, including the non alcoholic option of the grape fruit mocktail! Will definitely be back to try more things read more

Beautiful and spacious interior with tasty, technically impressive food. Prices are pretty eye-watering, especially for the size of some of the portions (looking at you trout crudo) but service is quick and attentive as you'd expect from a higher-level of fine dining. The menu is a bit eclectic, ranging from the cheddar goldfish (a little too large) to the 'beef-Wellington' style halibut. Best thing on the menu is the crab tagliatelle which, at $36, almost seems like a bargain compared to the rest of the menu. If you're looking to try Time and Tide (maybe you watched the Bon Appetit video) I'd recommend giving their Restaurant Week menu ($60) a shot. read more

Huge, spacious place. Appetizers were delicious. Leek Salad and Wedge Salad both were refreshing with unique dressing. Red Snapper Crudo - tasty and stasted fresh. Entree were not as great as appetizers. Longfin Squid Cacio e Pepe - squid was not fully cooked so the middle part was slimy and mushy. Swordfish - I don't understand this dish, if purism seems to be the goal but the fish seems frozen not fresh so the fishy smell was overpowering.. Halibut Pithivier - came here for this, unfortunately was surved lukewarm and the pastry wasn't puffy or not in the texture it should be, a bit disappointed. Dessert - Olive Oil Cake was very good! So fluffy and came with coconut ice cream. Cocktail menu looks very interesting but the taste didn't match up with the excitement from the menu/description. read more

Recently visited Time and Tide with high hopes, drawn to its charming atmosphere and credentials. The ambiance is elegant but the food was a bit of a letdown, primarily due to the overpowering nature of all their sauces. We ordered the nori fries, cheddar gold fish, oyster pan roast, the halibut and the charred cabbage. The nori fries and the gold fish were excellent but the other dishes lacked balance. The sauce for oyster pan roast was delicious but there were some oysters that were clearly not fresh. The halibut came wrapped in a mushroom duxelle puff pastry and took away from the fish while the charred cabbage was drenched in supposedly a dijon horseradish sauce that seemed like heavy cream without the horseradish flavor. The service was friendly but not sure Id return. read more

Our new favorite spot! Time and Tide is great in every aspect - food, drinks, ambience, service, decor. It checks all the boxes for a fantastic dining experience. The staff is friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. The food is excellent quality with a unique twist on some classics. And the drinks were perfectly crafted. You can't go wrong with anything in the menu but I'd highly recommended adding a goldfish to your order and splurging on the halibut. The tables are big and well spaced out which is a nice treat for NYC. The space is massive and has two bars with a decent amount of seating as well. Overall I'd say Time and Tide seems great for pretty much any occasion. Note: the entrance is on 26th. read more

Time and Tide markets itself as a "fish house," incorporating fish into just about every aspect of the menu. This is a fantastic idea, to a point. I still can't quite figure out the appeal of an uni mezcal shot. The novel giant Cheddar Goldfish pulls off the classic cracker flavor and is a fun way to start the meal. The cracker comes with a Old Bay Butter that has nothing to do with a cheese cracker but you'll eat it anyway because it's that good. The Uni Toast will make you scratch your head as you continually shovel it into your mouth trying to figure out if you like it or not (I decided that I didn't and, funnily enough, it's no longer on the menu). The Cacio e Pepe Squid was two steps outside my comfort zone of fish and cheese combinations, doing nothing to soften the general chewiness of the squid. The undisputed star of the show is the Halibut Pithivier, which was phenomenal in both style and substance. Finally, the Apple Tart Tatin was spectacular and practically outshone dinner. This is a place to bring anyone you want to impress. Wear the dress, wear the shoes - this is a high end Park Ave restaurant with moody lighting and plenty of mirrors, go off. @alex.eats.365 read more

Time and Tide is gorgeous. SO happy to have made it out on opening week. Slightly hard to find because they have no signage yet but you enter on the 26th street side of it. Once you walk in you feel like you've teleported into another place. The seating is spacious and comfortable and the dinnerware is sleek and fun. I was sat at an okay table but I saw some round two seat tables that I requested to move to. One of the managers went to ask the host if it was possible and I was denied because they were " fully booked and the people coming requested all of the circle tables." I will just say that the entire duration of our meal those seats were available. Not so smart of a move to make people want to come back but THANKFULLY the kitchen and sommelier saved the dinner. The food was amazing. We only have two stomachs to feed so I must return to try the rest of the menu. We ordered the sardine toast, the goldfish cracker, longfin squid, mackerel escabeche, prawns a la plancha, and the seared swordfish. These were ALL excellent. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the cheddar cracker was made. the long fin squid was expertly prepared, tender with a nice char flavor. We ordered the swordfish on a recommendation because I typically do not enjoy swordfish. Time and tide have officially converted me and now I can say that I do like it but only when they make it :) When, not if, I return I will consider repeating the swordfish, the cheddar goldfish, and the longfin squid again. The rest will be new dishes. Everything was great but those were my favorite. The wine list is something to bring up as it is organized by regional oceans. They have timeless classics but take a deeper dive into some really interesting wines. The price ranges are approachable. It meets several budgets so anyone can explore. We were able to get two bottles without breaking the bank! Keep up the great work and see you guys soon! read more

Live in the neighborhood and have been here twice now, both times were a huge hit. The big goldfish is a fun bit but the mains were actually the stars of the show: the tuna collar was a dish unlike anything I've had before and incredibly delicious, albeit a bit overwhelming. The squid cacio e Pepe works surprisingly well, too, and my favorite dish was the large, juicy prawns with mussel butter. The sundae is a great end to the meal to top it all off. This is a massive restaurant, which is nice because it means it's not as difficult to get a reservation as some of the other hyped restaurants in the city. Service was friendly and solid all around and prices were reasonable for quality of food + solid portions-I look forward to coming back soon. read more

We were really excited to try Time and Tide after seeing their feature on Eater! The Snack That Smiles Back - A giant cheddar goldfish with chives & Old Bay butter. Super cute and creative, but honestly, I would've preferred classic bread and butter. The cheddar flavor got a little heavy by the end. Trout Crudo - I've had much better crudos, and for $20+, I expected more fish (there were only 5 slices) and if not, fancier ingredients that would be worth the price here King Crab Tagliatelle - This was the surprise hit! Super creamy, packed with crab, but still felt balanced thanks to the citrus notes. Would definitely order again. Halibut Pithivier - Think beef Wellington, but with halibut inside. The texture was unreal--probably the most tender halibut I've ever had. But despite how gorgeous it looked, the flavor didn't quite live up to expectations. The sauce (you get to pick one of four) helped, though! Overall, some great ideas, but not everything landed for me. Would come back for the pasta, but I'd probably rethink my other choices. read more

The food was overall really solid, but it still feels like Time and Tide is getting its legs with respect to service/experience. Came here on a Friday evening with two friends. I'll cover the food first and then the service. Food-wise, we opted to family style 3 restaurant week menus and then do some add ons. We got: - To start: mackerel escabeche, shrimp cocktail, steelhead trout crudo. My friends liked the mackerel the best but to me it tasted like mackerel with no additional twist (and I don't think the quality of the mackerel was enough to stand on its own). The shrimps were pretty large and meaty, with a delicious habenero sauce so I'd get that again. The crudo, while good, doesn't make sense as requiring a $9 supplement on the RW menu. - For mains: swordfish, strip steak, and crab tagliatelie. The tagliatelie was a little too rich and the pasta was just ok, especially compared to the many Italian places in the city. The swordfish was good, although swordfish isn't usually my go-to so I'd probably skip it again. However, the strip steak was really well cooked and melted so even though they bill themselves for seafood, I'd do strip steak all the way. - For dessert: the olive cake and panna cotta. Solid desserts but really nothing novel with either. - Supplements: the cheddar goldfish (duh) and longfin squid. Ok, full stop get the squid it was so good. Soft, rich, my first bite genuinely surprised me. The cheddar goldfish while fun was just a gimmick to me-- I'd rather have some soft bread rolls. In summary, I thought while there were a couple of misses and a few of the plates were a little bit small, the food largely delivered. Drinks-wise, we got the sea spritz, umami spritz, cold front, and okinawan old-fashion. They were all very solid. On service, everyone I interacted with was kind. I appreciated that they took jackets at the door, our server was friendly and felt like he checked in an appropriate amount of times. However, there were some small things that I think made the overall experience slightly lesser: - The chairs actually weren't that comfortable. This seems silly but it's true! I want a comfortable seat when I'm eating good food and it wasn't. - When we were finishing our appetizers, one of the staff came by and said "who's gonna finish that? someone has to" while pointing at the last piece of crudo on the plate. I think he probably meant it in a joking way, but it 100% did not come off like that. Honestly, it had been less than 15 minutes since we got our appetizers so it felt pretty uncalled for to be told to eat faster and it made me feel like we were being rushed the rest of the dinner. Honestly, I'll probably give Time and Tide a while before I go back so they can iron some of these details out, and will have to try it again before it becomes a place I recommend. read more

I dined at Time and Tide about a week ago and I was absolutely thrilled with the food and the dining experience. The service was really top notch, they definitely go the extra mile. My friend asked to sample a few wines and they were more than accommodating. Strangely, I was also taken with the bathroom. There are individual stalls with floor to ceiling doors! There was no signage when I arrived so I was the weirdo that circled the restaurant a few times [it's on 26th Street]. There's actually a hallway before you enter the main dining room. It's kind of a in-between, the street outside and the restaurant that awaits you. We ordered a few snacks: Goldfish [$9]: which looks like the childhood cracker. Your brain thinks it knows what it's going to taste like but it doesn't taste like that at all. It was almost biscuit-like. I really loved it. Nori Fries [$12]: a very large portion, they are comparable to McDonalds fries, which are my gold standard for fries. Loved them. Ketchup and mayo are served on the side. We got the Fluke Milanese [$38] as our main dish and I was kind of shocked at how big the portion was. We each got a filet. It was absolutely delicious. The coating was so crisp and crunchy. We also got two sides: the black rice [$14] and the squash [$14], which was an unexpected favorite of the table, I really enjoyed the apples in the dish. We also got the squid cacio e pepe [$28] which was good. The desserts deserve special praise. They each come with a coconut ice cream on the side. We got the olive oil cake [$18] which had some cara cara oranges on top. My favorite had to be the panna cotta [$16] though, it was set just right and the honeycomb on top was bomb. I had the Marigold Paloma [$22] which was delicious, refreshing but a little spicy. The bill came to $277 in total, I paid $134 after tax and tip. read more

The restaurant is a little corporate but also a little clubby and loud, which was a funny mix, but it kind of explains the whole vibe. A lot of the menu appears gimmicky but is really good, very fresh, and impressively creative. I also have to call out how incredible the service was. It was attentive without any stiffness and each person who helped us couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. As I mentioned, the food was delicious, but the smaller dishes stood out to me most. Every dish on the menu is fish and seafood and is very fresh! While I wasn't wowed by our raw bar items, I'm glad we ordered the viral goldfish cracker. It was a fun start - not out of this world, but good to nosh on. The nori fries are also a must. They are like seaweed snacks but as French fries, which is so much better. We also started with the Longfin Squid, which comes in a cacio e Pepe sauce. As someone who doesn't always love grilled squid and doesn't like cacio e Pepe pastas, I couldn't get enough! It was definitely a decadent bite, but the char on the squid cut through some of the heaviness. For the mains, we ordered the grilled snapper and the halibut pivithier, which comes in a puff pastry. The snapper was good but not super memorable and the halibut was interesting but rich and the fish itself didn't have a lot of flavor. I also ate a lot of the plantains we got on the side! They were perfectly sweet paired with a crunchy, salty tahini topping. While we were of course full, I'm so glad we go the apple dessert. It was great, and the whole dessert menu looked like a hit, so don't skip out even if they look unexciting to you! read more

3.5 stars The pros: the restaurant is beautiful, service attentive and cocktails good. Ultimately the food didn't quite work for me - especially at these prices. The halibut, goldfish biscuit and banana split were my favorite dishes of the night, though nothing wowed me. The appetizers (squid and mackerel) however were not edible. All of the dishes were easily shared from both a portion and plating perspective. read more

As huge fans of Top Chef, we were excited to try chef Danny Garcia's new seafood spot. Loved the vibe in the restaurant (it's a huge, brand new space). You need the giant goldfish cracker on your table. It is nostalgia at its best - a thin and buttery cheddar biscuit that crumbles and melts in your mouth. The wedge was a nice light take on a wedge, and my guest loved the dressing. We opted for the steak as our main (even though a lot of the seafood dishes sounded great). This dish was perfect. The steak was well seasoned and so tender and flavorful. Plus it was topped with the most perfect onion rings. No notes (besides maybe get one of their sauces with it). For dessert we struggled to pick with so many delicious sounding options but settled on the banana split and apple tart tatin. Both were a sweet finish to an excellent meal! read more

Came here at 8:45 on a Friday and was able to get a table for two. We are big top chef fans and were excited to try chef Danny's restaurant. Sadly, we won't be back. Every dish felt like it was trying so hard to be new and different but it didn't taste good or wasn't executed right. We ordered: tuna tostada, nori fries, black crispy rice, prawns, skate, and steelhead trout ceviche (after we had to send back the skate). Tuna tostada lacked acid and was one note, improved a bit once we asked for some lime. Nori fries and black crispy rice were okay but both overly salty, and texture of rice was not crispy - felt like old dried out / overcooked rice. The prawns were the best thing we ate but a little overcooked. The pea salad was also decent but came with overly greasy and very large croutons that were unpleasant. The skate was inedible due to being over salted and had to be sent back. The ceviche was just unpleasant tasting - don't know exactly why - maybe too sour, a little bitter, etc - but it was probably the worse ceviche I've ever had. Even the goldfish cracker wasn't really that good - we took two bites and then left it alone. Lots of options in NYC / don't think this one is worth it. read more

Dark with candlelight. Lot of lounge music playing (somewhat loudly!). Definitely more Vegas and party vibes fancy. It's all food and steak here, so be prepared for a delicious seafood treat. Got the halibut and it was covered in a delicious croissant. The croissant flavor overpowered the fish heavily though so it feels like you're eating a croissant. The prawns were very delicious with two sauces to pick from. Well worth the value. The cheddar biscuit that looks like a Goldfish was unique and fun. Tasted good but the texture was a bit soft and moist. Overall, pass on the biscuit, get oysters and prawns, and hit or miss with the fish. Panna cotta is very good. read more

Overcomplicated and pretentious. The good quality was definitely there don't get me wrong - but the portion sizes were completely off. Waiter spent over 5 minutes explaining the menu - felt so complicated. A lot of good flavours with the food for sure. The nori fries were small although tasted good. The trout crudo literally had nothing on it for 26$.. the squid and crab dishes had potential but there was barely any crab in the tagliatelle - nice hint of lemon in the sauce though. For dessert, they didn't even give a full banana for the split, just a half... talk about cheap!! Service was very weird; borderline uncomfortable. We had like 4-5 people serving us throughout the night, we gave different orders to different people. Seemed to be a clear lack of communication with their management. They tried very hard to be respectful throughout the night which I did appreciate. Atmosphere inside was beautiful but there was no sign for the entrance! Overall, a very underwhelming experience. Not at all worth the cost of what was spent. read more

Came for restaurant week 2025 in Feb which was a great deal for the menu provided. Also was my birthday. They made a custom fish shaped little cake with delicious frosting. Amazing service.

Delicious food and attentive service for day 2 at the restaurant. Awesome ambiance and would highly recommend for a special date or corporate event. The swordfish was cooked perfectly and you won't be able to stop eating the nori fries. Not a big fan of the plantain side dish (had a weird aftertaste and the crispy plantain on top was a bit too salty for me) and halibut pithivier was a bit overcooked in my opinion (and for $75 should be perfect...) but would definitely go back to try other dishes. read more

My fiancée and I went here for a spontaneous date night. Service was great and the staff were nothing but friendly. Our waitress was also very attentive; she handled our various allergies well and provided alternative recommendations right away. We got the swordfish, black crispy rice, and olive oil cake (with coconut sorbet). Everything was delicious: fish was cooked perfectly to our liking (medium-well) and our dessert was AMAZING. The main gripes: this is an expensive restaurant, so make sure you read the menu online beforehand (don't accidentally read the lunch menu for dinner!) -- I think some of the mains could've been $5-10 less expensive for what we got. SAUCES ARE AN EXTRA $6. ESPRESSO ALONE $7. GLASSES OF WINE AVG $18-22 COCKTAILS AVG $21 These prices are obnoxious. Especially for the espresso. Doesn't matter where you are or go; one-shot espresso shouldn't be more $3, MAYBE $4. Overall, we'd come back. Just be mindful of what you're ordering and come prepared with $$$. read more

Came here for Valentines day dinner and dropped nearly $500 which was insane. Ambience, service, music was on point. Excellent. However! The most important thing the food was so bad! My wife and I had the seared swordfish and the halbiut and both were dry and rubbery. The white wine sauce they gave to pour over did not enhance the taste or mesh well at all. I ended up just pouring the white wine sauce over the swordfish to get AT LEAST some taste out of it but alas there were none. If you want to pay hundreds of dollars for dry fish come here. Super dissapointed as I was so hyped up for this place. read more

I rarely write reviews, but really wanted to share my experience at Time and Tide. I went here with my family as a belated birthday celebration. We are all very into food but my family can be a bit persnickety, so despite the pedigree, I was a little nervous bringing my family to a restaurant that is so new. I will preface this by saying that I have not yet had the chance to experience Saga or Crown Shy, but I am a big Top Chef fan and was very excited. Time and Tide did not disappoint!! All of the drinks looked delicious and had oceanic elements. I got the margarita Del Mar which came with a piece of nori on top of a large ice cube and my brother got the dirty martini which had the most delicious smoked olives. I can also vouch for their cocktails as my mom and sister-in-law both ordered them, while my dad went with a classic gin and tonic which was exactly what it needed to be. To start, we shared the goldfish cracker, nori fries, pickle plate, and the seafood tower. The goldfish tower was adorable and tasted nice, but a bit too shortbread-y for what I expected (ie don't expect a giant goldfish). The nori fries were incredible, we had to order a second portion for my two year old niece and my very hard to impress dad is still talking about them! I'm a pickle gal but the pickle plate was just some olives and peppers so could be skipped, but that seafood tower -- WOW! There was yellowtail with olive oil and sea salt, an oyster with yuzu gel, ahi tuna with popped rice and finger lime, scallop (i believe bay scallop due to the smaller size and the intense sweetness) with essentially a chile crisp, and a crab salad with apple and (i think?) horseradish. 1000/10, would absolutely order again! We all love seafood and the delicious pops of finger lime with the tuna were incredible, as well as the yuzu gel with the oyster which served as a sort of mignonette. We also got two orders of the crab pasta which was delicious and helped add some carbs to round out the meal, as well as two of the prawns a la plancha, one fluke Milanese (not pictured), and the halibut pithivier. The prawns were absolutely incredible, perfectly sweet and meaty and the mussel butter added so much delicious oceanic flavor-- if you like sucking the heads of shrimp, you'll know what I mean. I wasn't particularly excited about the fluke or halibut, but the fluke was perfectly flakey and the fried crumb did not overwhelm. The halibut was nice, but the delicate flavor of the fish was slightly overwhelmed by everything else going on in the dish. It was essentially a halibut wellington so the flavor of the mushrooms and the pastry, while delicious, were a little too much paired against the delicate, though perfectly cooked halibut. For dessert, we got the banana split, olive oil cake and tarte tatin, the last of which both my brother and mother who consider themselves connoisseurs of said dessert exclaimed was the best version they've ever had! They also very kindly brought out a mini goldfish shaped red velvet cake for my birthday which was as adorable as it was delicious, even though I was stuffed to the absolute gills. Service was warm, personal, and friendly without being overbearing. The space feels very luxurious and spacious without feeling cold at all, and the food is honestly incredible. I can't wait to go back and I highly recommend everyone give this place a visit. Time and Tide deserves a long life in NYC and is a welcome addition to our dining scene! read more

Have you ever wanted to be a diner at Restaurant. Wars on Top Chef? Well you will get your chance at Time And Tide, a much hyped new restaurant opening by Danny Garcia, a recent Top Chef winner and former Sous Chef of the highly successful Saga Restaurant Group, of which I am a fan. Just walking into the restaurant was jarring itself. The space is sparce, with bare, simple tables & chairs, almost no decor with random sliding doors to separate what would otherwise feel like a giant loft accompanied loud music that varies from 'random' to 'strip club relaxed.' It feels like they took a blank events space, had one day to run to a supply store and did the best they could. As for menu and food, the best way to describe it is a random collection of seafood dishes that doesn't really come together following a random smattering of 'snacks' that were inedible. Some mains are Italian influenced, others French, Japanese and Latin. aquachile red snapper tartare (mislabeled as a crudo), sardine toast, Fluke Milanese and a Halibut Duxelle all make it on the same menu in a manner that is jarring and hard to process. We were sucked into the servers hard sell on a miso/sesame glazed Tuna Collar for $120 as a special and it was, I kid you not, all bones. The collar does require a little work and can vary. What we ate was good, all 4 bites of it because that's all there was on a giant piece of fish bones. Drinks were good but service was generally slow and inattentive. After initially reacting defensively to our concerns over our main the GM did apologize and sent a further regret from the kitchen who agreed that we had been given a very poor protein that never should have been prepared. So I'll give them a star for being nice about it but if I were Danny Garcia I would immediately close, turn this actually into an NYC restaurant instead of a rushed, misguided concept that felt behind on a deadline. read more

Just wow. First of, the chef and owner here is the winner of Top Chef 21, which in my book makes it a must. But then it's really so good! The freshest seafood, amazing sauces, unique dishes.

Absolutely stunning decor. You'll be transported the minute you walk through their doors and I highly recommend grabbing a pre-dinner cocktail at the bar before your meal. We loved the giant goldfish cracker and the mackerel (must order items IMO). As for the cacio e pepe squid, it could have been more tender and I kind of wished it came with pasta, to soak up that incredible sauce. We also really enjoyed the Prawns la planca, the crispy rice and the banana split took me back to my childhood. Service was stellar and the bathroom (yes, the bathroom) was beautiful as well. read more

The place is enormous. It's also well decorated and... well... new. The service is enthusiastic and prompt. The cocktails are great and the wine list is unique and well priced. The food is all seafood. The influence is very much Mediterranean. Simple prep style dishes that highlight the seafood is always the best. I was also plesantly surprised by the portion size of some of the dishes. The dishes are properly portioned, especially the big dishes. The only reason I'd knock off one star then is how everything felt good but not outstanding. All above average dishes and flavors yet I don't know if I'd be rushing back any time soon. Nothing really feels like their own. read more

Loved the spacious, sleek modern decor, and the vibe was perfect for a family get-together, but I also saw people on dates, work dinners, girls' nights, and everyone looked just as cozy. The food was also really good -- creative, fun, and not stuffy -- though, like other reviews here, they can use a little tweaking or paring down. The infamous goldfish cracker was tasty, but the shortbread was a little too rich when paired with the other rich dishes, so a simple bread service would've been more appreciated. The cacio e pepe squid was nice, but the squid was sort of drowned in the sauce so it was hard to taste anything else but the cheese and pepper. Finally, I love spice, but spiciness in food when there was no indication of it in the menu description is a bummer; we even asked our server if certain things were spicy and he was adamant that they weren't, but that was definitely not the case. read more

We went to Time And Tide about a month ago, and it was an 5 star experience. The Goldfish appetizer is a must-try. Excellent cocktails, incredible service (I wish I remembered the name of the server, he was extraordinary) and good food all around. We weren't obsessed with the swordfish main entree, but everything else we had (the trout crudo, the cacio e pepe squid, and their version of a wedge with dill and chives were standouts) were very good. The restaurant is very big, and really gorgeous. This is an exciting restaurant with a unique take on upscale dining. read more

Restaurant Week. Leek Salad & shrimp cocktail-large shrimp, generous portion. Crab Tagliatelle was silky & luscious, the pasta perfectly cooked. Strip steak was very flavorful with oustanding onion rings. Desserts of chocolate mousse & panna cotta were excellent. Two ageing cases displaying steelhead trout, swordfish, bluefin tuna rack, hiramasu & tile fish-framed each side of the seafood bar. read more
