Cheap 'n strong drinks how we like 'em. So incredibly friendly bartender and a bunch of drunk locals making us feel right at home.

It was right across the street from my AirBnB so it was worth a shot. The ambiance was refined, yet romantic and cozy. Very spacious, and our server was so friendly and attentive. We ordered drinks, Seared Sea Scallops, Wings; and then the Truffle Mushroom Burger and the Philly Cheesesteak as our entrees. The drinks were lovely, well poured and tasty. The wings were solid, had good flavor. But the seared scallops? They were amazing! They're served with a bacon jam which is so shockingly perfect as a complement. The burger was the perfect size and nice and tasty. And the Philly was surprisingly filling and delicious. Honestly, everything ordered was a pleasant addition to the table and I would not hesitate to come back.

The entertainment was amazing, Duffy Bishop was amazing along with the band Chris, Chris & Rusty was the best time I've had in years! The service was OK they had only 2 servers and 2 bartenders for over 100 people in the place. I was shocked the server Deidra kept everything organized she did a great job considering how busy and how many tables she was taking care of. Or food took over an hour but when we did get it. And it was really good. Best adult grilled cheese I ever had.

I am a local and have been coming to this restaurant for 5+ years…read more This used to be a great place, but it's turned into an overpriced tourist trap My last five visits in the last year have all been terrible. The food is smelly, not fresh, the service is at the horrid. The average servers at this restaurant are very entitled and don't know the basics of serving food. Some restaurants can survive. I'm just having good food, others because they've got special service, this restaurant has neither of them. Very sad with the rich heritage that they have and the fact that they can grow their own oysters. Unfortunately, 90% of the time when you go to commanders half the menu isn't even available. So if you like hush puppies and fried crap from China, this is your place. But if you want fresh seafood, there's a whole bunch of others in St Augustine and elsewhere. Not worth spending a couple hundred dollars on several day old fish.

GOOD: Good size portions, reasonable prices, especially for cocktails. The same margarita would be $14 elsewhere. I had the "Wrap it up mango" tuna wrap with fried plaintains as my side. Plaintains were a big portion, so I took half home. The wrap was very tropical with fruit and sushi grade tuna. I ate it all, which was greedy of me, but I enjoyed it and felt overfull (my bad). Hubby had the clam and shrimp chowder and 2 apps. Very tender clams, thick texture and more shrimp flavor than clam, tasty for sure. Conch fritters good and in our top 5 (we get them everywhere and have been disappointed but now here). The wings were cooked perfectly, not heavy and crispy. The key lime flavor was good but too light. BAD: Service was a bit slow, but our waitress was super friendly and welcoming. The other servers seemed right on top of the other diners. 2 person tables are a bit too small if you order multiple appetizers. But nothing bad at all here.

I did try half of one, yes, I said half a piece of shrimp. That is how large they are. Our waitress, Diane took care of us like we were family. Actually, she appeared to treat everyone that way! I loved the decor, and did I mention how great the entire staff was?? Despite the long line, but little wait time, this restaurant ran like a well-oiled machine.

We have eaten here 3 times in the past month. Oysters on the half shell were spot on. Bacon wrapped scallops delish. Fried shrimp with beans and rice and fresh veggies wonderful. Blackened Mahi platter fresh and cooked perfectly. Everything we've had has been great. Service is friendly, kind of like your local bar. Not a tourist kind of place. Mostly locals and that's what makes me happy because my wife and I are moving to St Aug in a month and will be frequenting The Tides often. Also live music is awesome as well!!

The interior wasn't my favorite; the aesthetic didn't really read as Italian to me and leaned more modern. The tables and seating felt a bit on the cheaper side. We went on a Friday around 7:30 pm, and it was surprisingly quiet inside. Drinks: I ordered a sangria, which wasn't my favorite. It tasted on the weaker side. Food: I ordered the gnocchi. It was a bit rubbery and not as soft or potato-forward as I prefer. It reminded me more of store-bought gnocchi than homemade. That said, the portion size felt fair for the price. Location: The restaurant is located on the St. Augustine Beach barrier island, which is convenient if you're staying nearby and don't want to head into historic downtown for dinner. It was in a slightly odd spot within a business complex, with condos located above. Service: Good. Overall: It's fine for convenience, but not a place I'd suggest to someone visiting St. Augustine and looking for standout dinner spots.
