Envisioned and executed by renowned Charleston-based Cortney Bishop Design, The Kingstide's rustic yet refined interiors offer a nautical nod that goes beyond coastal expectations The menu offers a variety of seafood dishes thoughtfully presented in both raw and wood-fired preparations.

    Food was burnt and late. Server was ok. We had guests in from out of town. Poor experience. It was only on a Thursday night.

    Such an amazing experience. We were celebrating a friend's birthday & the entire staff went out of the way to make it special. I called ahead & the pastry chef made a pumpkin pie for us that was delicious! Mike was an amazing server & the food was perfection!!

    Food was delicious but prices high and service subpar (multiple waitstaff yet slow service and attendance to detail). View outside was lovely.
    The KingstideResponded on November 11, 2024
    Pamela, thank you for your feedback. I am so glad to hear that you really enjoyed the food on your visit to the Kingstide. The culinary team really does change the menu based on the seasonal and local ingredients. I am so sorry to hear that your service was subpar, slow even. I do hope that you will come and dine with us again soon, so that we have the opportunity to have the service match the level of the food. Please come and let us give us that dining experience you deserve. Thank you again for your feedback. Jacqueline Dornick, Assistant General Manager

    Great service and ambiance. I had the low tide seafood tower. 3 of the oysters had broken shells in them - how is that even possible?
    The KingstideResponded on November 7, 2024
    Thank you, Scott, for your review. I am happy to hear that the service and the ambiance was great during your dining experience with us. The low tide tower really is great for that fresh raw bar option. I am so sorry to hear that there were shells in a few of the oysters, I do hope that we can get you some more fresh oysters on the house without the shells. You be sure to let me know the next time you are in, and we can take care of that for you. They do shuck them right in house. Also, we do half off oysters on the half shell on Tuesday evenings from 4 to 7pm. I do hope that you will come back and see us to give us that opportunity to give you the dining experience you deserve. Jacqueline Dornick, Assistant General Manager

    The food was incredible! We had the octopus, squash, hush puppies, and carrots to start, all of which were cooked perfectly and had complexity of flavor. The scallops, which I had for my entree, were melt in the mouth. This place is not to be missed!!!
    The KingstideResponded on November 7, 2024
    Thank you Anda for your 5-star review! I am so glad to hear that the food was so good! I do love the squash, and the carrots are one of my personal favorites. The scallops are one of our newer additions to the menu. I really do love the sweet potato puree that accompanies them this time of year. I do hope that you will come back and join us again real soon. Jacqueline Dornick, Assistant General Manager
