Tidal

Worth all the hype. Easily some of the best food we had during our 3 night stay at the resort. We had dinner twice and were willing to pay the price for it. Reservations are a must - they really do get busy and stay busy. You can go a little early to get drinks started at the bar. Note: the bar tender wasn’t familiar with drinks off the short menu, so be prepared to explain what you want if it’s not listed. Service was excellent all around though. Friendly, helpful, and attentive. Food was phenomenal. 1st night we ordered an array of apps and sides after being unable to commit to a single dish. All of it was delicious. Among our favorites were the carpaccio and the crab cake... must orders if we were to return! Really can’t go wrong though. A side of potatoes would be worth your time. Highly recommend. You’ll spend good money, but it won’t be with disappointment.

This restaurant was hit and miss but would give it another try. First it's located in a hotel / resort area which unfortunately meant of a lot tourists with little kids (we are locals) some of them still in swimwear at this somewhat nicer (especially price wise) restaurant.) The tomato panzenella was amazing and so was my husband's pasta, but unfortunately my fish was overcooked and dry.

We came down to escape the heat and stayed at this property. Initially we were hesitant to make a reservation at Tidal. The negative reviews were a concern. Well fear not, our experience was 5 star in all areas. We had a reservation at 6:15 and were promptly seated by the friendly hostess. We chose the patio with seating facing the bay. Our server Melissa ( highly recommend) greeted us with genuine smiles and warmth. Again, nothing like we read in previous reviews. Ordered our drinks and promptly received. We weren't in a rush to order our Donner. Melissa was fine with it even on a Friday night. When we did order she was knowledgeable on the entire menu. She even went as far to ask the chef if he would give my octopus a quick char on the grill. Most chefs would have refused. This chef happily obliged and we thanked him in the way out. His menu selection is excellent. Every area we interacted with was outstanding. Our entrees were the above mentioned octopus and Pacific Sea Bass with mushroom risotto. Both entrees had such flavor and the presentation was excellent. This restaurant is a must stop whether you stay at the Paradise Point Resort or visiting San Diego. Melissa, thanks for your attentive and enthusiastic service, Chef, thanks for obliging the char on the octopus. Lastly Teddy the manager on duty thanks for stopping over the table so we could express our appreciation. Next trip down we will come again.

Tidal is a very nice restaurant within the Paradise Point Resort just north of San Diego downtown. The restaurant overlooks the bay with beautiful views and has a relaxing atmosphere. We visited Tidal during our stay at the resort a couple of times. The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. Our waitress Julia had good suggestions about the menu. A highly recommended place to dine if you are in the area.

Tidal is the romance restaurant of San Diego! With a full row of two-top tables right along the deck glass overlooking Mission Bay, dinner and drinks are at their sunset best here. The food and service are fantastic too. Don’t miss the corn-and-poblano fondue — just divine — and the crab cake and scallops were excellent. The minted peas were a highlight too, and the meal as a whole was the best we had our entire vacation...perfection on a plate!

We came here tonight 5/17 and it was such an awesome experience. Our waiter was soo kind and was so thoughtful about making our experience great. The carpaccio, crab cake and Mac and cheese was all 10/10

Had a great New Year’s Eve Brunch at Tidal! It was 37 per person and we sat on the dog friendly patio. The brunch buffet featured an omelette station, egg Benedict, scrambled eggs, potatoes, bacon, sausage, waffles, yogurt parfaits, fruits, bagels with smoked salmon, and breakfast pastries. Everything tasted really good, loved the scrambled eggs. Service was very friendly and quick. Recommend coming by, their regular menu looks really good too.

An absolute exquisite meal. The food is prepared ever so astonishingly and the taste is divine. The food quality is above expectation. This was definitely an amazing dine out. The atmosphere is soothing and comfortable. As travellers I didn’t realize this restaurant was on a little resort as it popped up when searching restaurants in the area but luckily for us they still took in public customers not staying at the resort. The staff from host to waiters and waitresses to chefs and anybody else with a Tidal name tag simply did excellent jobs and preformed far above where they need to be as an establishment. In particular to our meal and experience the waitress Julie (or Julia if I’ve mistaken her name) could have simply taken a one star restaurant and created a five star restaurant simply based on the service and expertise with the menu and establishment. Julie was more than helpful and simply enjoy the idea of the purpose for the meal. As international travellers Julia really helped pave a wave of understanding for any question at hand. We got a little more confused with the currency conversion than we anticipated and it simply did not matter to Julie as taking care of the customers and the duties for staff was the goal. If Julies employer is seeing this it is time to increase Julie’s pay or even offer a promotion.
