    Ben LOVES this Hibachi buffet and gets a craving for it from time to time. We always try to go during lunch hours as prices are cheaper and honestly, we don't eat THAT much to make that many buffets a benefit for us financially. We both had been coming here for years, long before we knew each other. For a short time the place was sold to another company (I think) that made it into a crab shack type of restaurant but something must have happened as it came back to being a hibachi buffet. Funny enough, they kept all the seafood/crab decor up on the walls and around the place so it is kinda funny looking in there now. It is also nice that you can get your food to go and it is weighed out by the pound. Sometimes that works well, as you can eat as little or much as you go at home/work but many items also don't warm up too well so I prefer to eat everything fresh and while there.

    Love eating here! I came for my birthday and it is my second time eating here. They have a hibachi bar that is amazing. You fill up a plate with what you want, pick your sauce(s) and they cook it fresh. There is also lots of premade foods. Awesome selection. The service at your table is also good, multiple times they pass by and check on you, refill drinks etc. The atmosphere is very nice and casual. A good place to hangout and eat lots and lots of food! Had a great birthday here and will be back again.

    We stumbled on this place by mistake. We wanted to have some noodles, rice, dumplings and fruit for the Lunar New Year and happened to be close to this place. It was clean with fresh food. The service was very pleasant and helpful. So much to choose from. The desserts, fresh fruits and hibachi ingredients were impressive for a buffet. We will definitely be back again. There is a huge water feature in the front entrance and the prior seafood restaurant decor as mentioned in a previous review but it didn't seem humid to us, but can see when it's packed or in warmer months that might be an issue.

    The experience was nice. The family showed up to try out a new dinner spot, and it was great. The food was warm and the environment was calm. The place was very clean.

    this place didn't really surprise me with food.. I love buffets and visit those a lot, but hibachi buffet didn't stand out. considering the size of place, I didn't get enough of choice, and almost no selection in sushi + chicken I was eating was impossible to eat, super dry, impossible to chew. I wouldn't go to this place, but my husband likes the food and personally for him, there is enough selection, I guess everyone has different taste. just try it for yourself and decide if you like hibachi buffet, or no

    Will return - my friend and I are up since 5:30 and done 1.2 miles open water swimming by 9:30 at Sand Key park. After the medal ceremony at 10:30, we're hungry ... thanks to my friend who picked this place! They have a main hall where the foods are. There is a smaller one at the back. The food is decent. I particularly enjoyed the green string beans! I think their cheese cream spinach - the spinach is bit sweet - my friend tried and said NO. Most serving staff are Chinese. They're cheerful and quick on their feet. They take Apple Pay - yup, forgot my wallet. Thank you! The waterfall by the entrance is nice.

    The food selection was not very good about half the options of most these places..food was very average as well nothing stuck out , interior is kind of stange like a converted crab shack wait staff and service were fine, overpriced for what is is at over 50$ for 2 ... Not a Repeat

From the moment I saw the seafood case, everything looked ridiculously fresh, and that freshness carried straight onto the plate. The Tides is both a seafood market and restaurant, so you're surrounded by beautiful seafood and ingredients that actually look like they belong there. Then I noticed the MICHELIN plaque outside the building and thought, wait a minute... THIS place has Michelin recognition? Apparently, yes! The Tides has earned a place in the MICHELIN Guide, which suddenly made a whole lot of sense after tasting the food. That salmon was seriously some of the best I've ever had. Fresh, beautifully prepared and so clean tasting that it didn't need a bunch of heavy sauces or nonsense piled on top. It felt like one of those rare meals that is indulgent because it's delicious, but you also walk away thinking, I actually ate something good for me. The Tides was a genuine surprise, and now I'm wondering how many other little gems I've been driving right past without knowing they were there.

We made the mistake of trying to go on a Saturday evening. Shoot for off hours instead, as the wait was pretty long. We ordered a lot of what the Michelin blurb recommended: the dip trio (out of white fish), the crawfish arancini, the fried grouper po boy, and snapper. In the dip trio, we absolutely loved the fried green tomatoes and the pimento cheese (I don't like tajjn but it worked extremely well here). Neither of us was in love with the smoked fish, but if you're a big smoked fish person you might like it. We also loved the arancini and the romesco sauce they came with. The entrees we were honestly disappointed in. The grouper in the po boy tasted dry, and the snapper was nothing to write home about. It must be difficult for a restaurant to live up to the greatly heightened expectations of a Michelin designation. The location and staff were great. We didn't leave delighted but I would definitely come back to try more items.

On the rare occasion that…read moreseafood was on the menu, it was typically a frozen variety like Groton's, or the occasional fish fry at the Elk's Club. That's changed since moving to the Gulf Coast of Florida, where the fish at the local restaurant today was probably swimming yesterday. My "go-to" seafood now is a grouper sandwich which I order blackened but NOT fried. I've sampled grouper sandwiches from many local dining establishments, but my favorite is from "Carvor's Fish House" A couple of important notes: 1) Carvor's is only open for LUNCH. Their hours vary, so you'll want to check the website, but they typically close at FIVE PM, with the last order accepted at FOUR PM. 2) Carvor's has NO inside dining The patio is tree-shaded with extra umbrellas but if it's really hot, you may be uncomfortable. 3) Carvor's has COUNTER SERVICE. You go inside, order your food and THEN go back outside and select a table. When your food is ready, a server will bring it to your table. 4) This is downtown Dunedin, and parking can occasionally be a challenge on Douglas Street, but FREE parking is available in the city parking garage across the street. Pictured is my "blackened grouper" sandwich. A refreshing change from the usual French fries is their homemade chilled tomato, cucumber and onion salad. Delish!

The next time, we went for lunch and they were out of some things that we initially ordered, but we ended up with a heating plate of fried things that kind of felt like bar food.

Service was great and super attentive. We started with the hush puppies, which were good. Definitely not the best, but they were still good. They came with a side of ranch. Out came the seafood boil, we ordered two one of their standard boils and then I did a customer boil with crab legs and sausage. We both added boiled eggs to ours and went with the mild spice level and Mr. And Mrs. Crab seasoning. They bring out a bib, gloves and a discard bucket when you order the boils. Overall, I thought it was pretty good. Again, not the best I've had but it satisfied our craving. My girlfriend thought it was delicious and was making sure to soak everything up in the sauce, haha. One thing I noticed was the crab was lacking on some of the legs, not as meaty. Not sure what caused that. Also, there was a bit of a funky after taste with the boil that I haven't encounter before. I don't know if it was the seasoning or the sauce. Just my personal opinion and others might think differently. Also, wasn't really a fan of the potatoes or the egg. Just tasted off to me. Overall, we had a good experience. Might return in the future to give it another shot.

Hardly shareable. My seared tuna was very good and a decent size portion but seriously? You can't serve shelled edamame? Fishing the bean pods out of the sauce to clumsily try to squirt the bean out should not be happening with a dish that is $34. We ordered a bottle of wine which we all enjoyed. My last complaint is that the restaurant was extremely warm. We all were on the verge of breaking out in a sweat. For those prices, invest in some sort of better air conditioning. The service was fine. The meal was $300 with tip, and considering everything, we feel it's not worth going back.
