   Meal was excellent! The espresso martini was not good! The dessert options were hard to choose between with how delicious they all read.

   Food was delicious. Our friends are oyster lovers, were very impressed. I had blackened grouper with mushroom grits, my husband red snapper and our guests sword fish. Service was outstanding. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and made excellent recommendations and management bent over backwards to make sure your evening was above and beyond. The setting on the Ashley River is beautiful.

   Dinner was excellent - the oysters were small but tasty, the she crab soup was rich and creamy, the wahoo was flaky and delicious (especially with the mushrooms in the sauce), and squid ink pasta (nero) was very tasty. We enjoyed all of it! Oh yes and the key lime pie.... Mmmmm. We ate too much and took some leftovers home :) Service was friendly and very attentive, very nice all around. It was a little too loud it was hard to have a conversation at times but we managed. Some noise absorption would be helpful.

   Alli, Thank you so much for your 5-star review!!! I am so thrilled to hear that dinner was excellent here with us on your visit. We do rotate our oysters daily and I am so glad you found them tasty. The she-crab soup is one or newer additions to the menu. I am so glad that you enjoyed it as well. The key lime pie is house made daily and has been on our menu since the beginning. It is really excellent. We just added the strawberry swirl cheesecake to our dessert menu as well. I am so happy to hear that your service was friendly and attentive. Great food and great service go hand in hand for the exceptional dining experience. We do strive for that memorable hospitality and that lasting impression. Do hope you will join us again soon. Jacqueline Dornick, AGM

   Service was bad and food was so overpriced. The kids busing the tables were more polite than our waiter. And the food was just not good.

   I am so sorry to hear that your experience here at the Kingstide was disappointing. We just updated our menu to our spring menu with new additions such as blackened grouper with grits, snapper, lobster pasta and a few other new items. I do hope that you will give us another opportunity for you to get the dining experience that you deserve here at the Kingstide. Please reach out if you are willing and wanting to make the reservation with us. Thank you so much. Jacqueline Dornick, AGM

   Thank you so much for your feedback. I do know some of our cocktails are seasonal and the Kingstide take on some classics. I am glad that we found a drink that you loved. I am thrilled to hear that the waitress really helped you navigate the menu to get to that favorite. I love the ecto cool and our espresso martinis!! I do know that our beverage menu is taking over a big change for spring. So do come check us out again soon. Maybe you will find a new favorite. I am so glad that food was delicious and filling as well. Hope to see you again real soon. Thank you so much again for the review !!! Jacqueline Dornick, Assistant General Manager

   Dylan, I am so happy to hear that you had such a wonderful time dinning with us. I am also happy to hear that you really enjoyed the new dishes added to the menu. We have the Shrimp Cocktail, a crab cake appetizer, the Crab Louie salad, and we also added the Strawberry Swirl cheesecake. I think we have a few more new additions before the full spring menu is complete. So please check us out again real soon. Thank you again for your 5-star review. Jacqueline Dornick, AGM

   We’ve been twice in the past month- had to find our server both times. The first time, they made my pregnant daughter wait 45 mins for food (they did comp it tho) and this time, we almost got up and left because we couldn’t find our server. Prices are high but the view will cost you. Food is good- once you get it.

   Mary, Thank you for your feedback. It is both welcomed and helpful. I am sorry you had such a difficult experience both Saturday night and in the past. This is not our standard and it is unfortunate and unacceptable that you would need to wait that long or look for your server. We have discussed this issue with the staff and will use this as a learning experience so that it will not happen again. We did fall short in your dining experience. I would like to invite you back to have you enjoy both the food, in a timely manner, the view that is really unbeatable, and give you that experience that you do deserve here when dining with us. Thank you again for providing your feedback, Jacqueline Dornick, Assistant General Manager

   This was our second dinner at Kingstide, and it did not disappoint. Their wine list isn’t lengthy, but offers plenty of options. Our appetizer (the burrata with tapenade) was delicious! My hubby went with the fried seafood platter (why not?!) and it was fabulous. I had the sailfish and it was sublime. We will be back soon!!!

   Kelly, Thank you so much for your 5-star review. I am so glad that you have had great experiences with us both times you have dined with us. The burrata is one of my personal favorites as well. The seafood platter is one of our newer additions to our menu, I am so glad you thought it was fabulous. We cannot wait for you to come back and visit us! Remember our weekly specials include half off select bottles of wine on Sunday, lobster rolls on Monday, and half off oysters on the half shell on Tuesdays! Thank you again for your feedback.
