Don't let the pretty lights fool you at "Tyde at Walnut Beach"! Worst time ever at a wedding/reception!!! Outside ceremony: absolutely freezing, not enough chairs & couldn't hear a single word the officiant spoke. Inside/outside cocktail hour: again freezing & the hors d'oeuvres sent me immediately running for the ladies room with food poisoning! Inside dinner: very, very skimpy portions & cheap cuts! Who serves a 1/4 chicken (leg & thigh) at a wedding??? Worse than any of that... 8 top tables were set for 12! It was hideously uncomfortable! People were elbow to elbow & butt cheek to butt cheek with the person next to them. I could not move out of my seat without sliding my chair straight back, all the way out of the line of seats. When I was able to get out, I took a look at the room & saw plenty of empty areas where more tables could have easily been set up so that everyone was comfortable, not crammed together like sardines. In one of the more empty areas of the room, stood a table with small wedding cake, getting warm under the lighting, open for anyone to sneeze, cough or spread their germs/hair/etc on... for hours!!! (After seeing that, it's no wonder why the hors d'oeuvres sent me straight to the ladies room.) Long waits for the skimpy dishes! 1 hour from seating to salad course. 40 minutes between salad & dinner course. 50 minutes between dinner & tiny piece of warm, melted frosting wedding cake. Most people at our table didn't eat their whole meal & hardly anyone ate the cake. Worst time ever at a wedding/reception!!! (Note: in order to submit a review, you have to give at least 1 star. However, I would give Tyde at Walnut Beach ZERO stars!!!) read more
