Tides coastal kitchen, located on the second floor of the Delta Hotel off shore drive is an excellent choice for brunch if you desire an oceanfront views and tasty food and drinks. Their breakfast menu is smaller than most but they also offer a buffet with a lot of options. We opted for the chicken and waffles and breakfast burrito and both were full of flavor. Tides gets a majority of their stars for the venue itself, you can walk directly onto the beach and dine outside with a great view of the ocean. The service was great, Mike the bartender went way out of his way to make our experience a special one! Check them out if you're looking for something tasty on shore drive! read more

This was our first time visiting this place, and we were really excited because of the beautiful beach view. The location and ambiance were definitely nice and relaxing. Unfortunately, the food was just mid for us. Most of the dishes we ordered came out overly salty, which took away from the experience. We also found the pricing a bit expensive for the portion sizes and overall taste. On a positive note, the service was pretty good. The staff were attentive and accommodating throughout our visit. Overall, while the view and service were enjoyable, I'm not sure if this is a place we'd come back to try again. read more

My mom and I had such a great experience here that we ended up coming back the very next day. The food was incredible, especially the oysters, which were so fresh and flavorful they were truly to die for. I loved them so much I ordered them again on our second visit. We also tried the Parmesan fries, asparagus, crab dip, crab cake, crème Brulee, key lime pie, and a salad. Every dish was well‑seasoned, fresh, balanced, and delicious. Nothing tasted overly fishy or heavy, which can be tricky with seafood, but everything was prepared perfectly. The atmosphere made the meal even better. The view from the restaurant is absolutely spectacular, one of those settings that makes you want to linger just a little longer. Kevin's service tied everything together. He was attentive in a way that felt completely natural, checking in on us consistently without hovering. He kept our drinks flowing, stayed professional and personable, and genuinely made us feel taken care of. His energy elevated both visits and made the whole experience memorable. Highly recommend both the food and the service. Kevin truly made our meals exceptional. read more

Our visit to Tides was disappointing -- after a 5 hr drive we just wanted to eat at the hotel as it was close to 830 and I had 2 hungry kids. We didn't mind the short wait for a table but it took another 15 minutes for any server to notice us, and when we ordered, we had to send back a kid's chicken that was pink and undercooked. We asked for a kid's pasta with butter sauce instead- and the sauce was just a pool of melted butter. I ordered the mahi mahi tacos but one of them was filled with chicken. At least some effort could have been made!? It just felt like the kitchen didn't care about the food being sent out. For a hotel charging $400+ per night I expected the onsite restaurant to provide a higher quality experience. read more

4 stars for the view outside and the friendly service otherwise i would give a 3 for food/menu accuracy/price. Specifically came here because their website lists seafood Cobb salad but that was not on their menu, same for the chicken bacon ranch sandwich my husband looked forward to. Instead I had to get the seafood pasta which was delicious but unfortunately my husband was not so lucky. He instead fell to the chicken tender platter, it being $25 you would expect had at least 10 tenders on it but was basically the size of a children's meal. Will def come back for the vibe but think management needs to review their menu read more

I recently stayed at the Waterfront Marriott where Tides Coastal Kitchen is and I enjoyed visiting this hotel restaurant. My first experience was the hotel bar on the evening i checked in. Kevin, my bartender was super friendly and made a delish dirty martini. I also popped in the following day for lunch. I sat outside in the picnic tables which was glorious because the view was the ocean and the sand. Who doesn't up their productivity when waterfront?! Luis was my server and was friendly and attentive. I opted for the mixed greens salad which included brioche croutons, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, manchego cheese, bacon, mustard vinaigrette. I also opted to add steak for some protein. It was a great lunch and the portion of steak was double so it was very filling. The employees at the restaurant were welcoming, gave me recs for the area, and remembered my name each of the 3 times I visited in the two days I was there. While it is a hotel bar, I did notice there are locals that come to visit because they knew the bartenders by name each night. Good option if you're staying in the hotel. read more

The bread with the crab dip is so so good! Beyond that the view is great and it wasn't very busy, their personal key lime pie is one of the best in the area and we all enjoyed our meals. If you're a person that likes a big portion of food I'd def order a bunch of apps because they aren't giving you a large portion, but the food is decent. I got the salmon my husband got the rock fish, salmon 7.5/10 (portion small) and rock fish 8/10 pretty good overall. Definitely try the key lime pie. read more

I am going to be kind with this review even though my better judgment says I should be brutally honest. 1) Really not a fan of this restaurant. 2) The food looks amazing, however the taste leaves much to be desired. The fact is the food needs to have taste. I ordered the Fish n Chips and even with the Malt Vinegar there was no taste. The crab bisque tasted too much like carrots. My wife had the Salmon and was not impressed, my daughter had the Sliders and Mac n Cheese and was also not impressed. My mother in law had the Shrimp Cocktail and had to wash off the Shrimp to make it taste good for her. 3) Limited Beer selection( 3 choices). 4) Our server was nice and eager to please but seemed a bit overwhelmed. 5) The ambiance was fine but could have been better with a larger beer selection. Would I come back? As a local, no, there are better choices. read more

Service was terrible, food was mid, but the view was good. We sat at our table for 50 minutes before being greeted even though we went to the hostess stand twice to ask for service. Thankfully, I was in good company so we were fine waiting and watching the sunset. By the end of the meal we started joking "we're going to die here" bc everything took FOREVER. It was a 3.5 hour dinner that should've been 45 minutes. There were four tables who came in after us and got their food before we were greeted, and at the same time, we saw 3 other tables walk out because they sat for 30+ minutes without being greeted. I think some of the servers are great and some could use training and it's just role of the dice on who you get. Our check was wrong, about $40 over. Another interesting observation. We saw a couple getting engaged on the far end of the patio at a special set up. About 30 minutes after the engagement, the couple and their families came to have dinner on the dining side of the patio, but there weren't enough seats. The man who proposed told the hostess they had a RSVP and she said "it doesn't matter if you had a reservation or not we don't have the tables available" and so they left. I can't imagine having that experience after getting engaged. read more

I WOULD GIVE THIS BAR A 0 IF I COULD....my wife and i sat down on the deck area overlooking the chesapeake bay at a 2 top table, i went in to bar to get us some drinks and while i was in the bar this little Pilipino short guy (maybe a mgr?) came over to my wife and said "you cannot sit here", she said why not, he said "because it is reserved", my wife said i don't see a sign on the table. then this less that smart mgr says "these tables are first come first served", so my wife says, well "i am here first"...i came out from bar and this guy was still there so i said what is the problem, he said this table is reserved, i said where is a reserved sign, no answer just stared with a blank stare....my point in telling this story is this bar sucks, management sucks, and this dummy has no business being a mgr, unbelievably bad service and i believe he had no idea what he was talking about. i went inside and asked for another manager and he apologized for making us move and gave us a couple of discount coupons.....my wife looked it over and said "these 2 coupons expired last year in 2025"......don't waste your money going here, total chaos and not friendly Pilipino wait staff or management. sad because delta bar used to be a nice place to go, now not so much....stay away and go to bubbas, or dockside, or chicks......better and friendlier staff also. food might be better but staff needs training on how to treat customer...particularly this Pilipino mgr. If you are staying at the Delta....my advice go elsewhere for a drink......anywhere !! UPDATE: GOT A RESPONSE FROM Tally W.-Business Owner AND THE RESPONSE WAS HILARIOUS, AND SAD AS A SO CALLED BUSINESS OWNER, SHE GAVE NO OFFER FOR VALID FREE COUPONS TO COME BACK, NO DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF WHAT DISCIPLINE THE GUY RECEIVED THAT ACCOSTED MY WIFE AND MADE HER MOVE FROM A FIRST COME FIRST SERVE TABLE (MADE NO SENSE), SO AS A RESULT I WOULD NOT REFER ANYONE TO GO TO THIS RESTAURANT AND AS A LOCAL ONLY A FEW BLOCKS AWAY FROM THIS FIASCO OF A RESTAURANT WOULD NEVER GO BACK UNLESS THEY BUMP UP A NOTCH THEIR BUSINESS OWNER RESPONSE. SAD THAT THIS RESTAURANT GETS REVIEW ABOVE A 0.....I MISS THE OLD LYNNHAVEN PIER RESTAURANT......THERE YOU GOT TREATED GREAT AS A LOCAL RESIDENT. read more

We walked in on a weekend with no reservations and chose to sit outside and enjoy fresh air. Loved the view and live music. We were able to even see dolphins in the water. We ordered calamari's and oysters that were decent. I ordered the shrimp scampi and my hair and ordered fish and chips. I think all the food and drinks were great. A bit pricey but all tasted well. Service was ok, nothing extravagant except when they brought our food out and explained the difference in oysters. I did enjoy the food display and the ability to add drops or horseradish. read more

Vibes were pretty good pretty views. Food was ok we just got apps. Manager was not present was eating and on her phone when we walked up I had to cough to get her attention. She couldn't find the reservations (she was looking at the wrong day) Drinks were bad. The seasonal menu was still from the fall it is late spring. Tasted like just liquor and nothing else. Crush was so sour. Not good. Don't charge $15 for a bad cocktail. Not great go elsewhere read more

I was able to catch their March 20th deal for $35++ pp which allowed me to sample their new spring menu. Portions were healthy sizes and wonderfully plated. Patio seating was open, therefore I took advantage of that beautiful day to enjoy my meal alfresco on a cool, sunny day with lovely views of the Chesapeake Bay. I had the warm spinach crab dip with the most delicious, soft and flavorful pita bread. I could have just even eaten the pita bread alone. However,the dip was plentiful and had actual crabmeat on top. Savory and not overly heavy with cheese or spinach- a good balance, quite good and filling! My sister had the fried calamari which was a pleaser as well, not too chewy and the accompanying sauces enhanced the taste even more. The breading was crispy but with enough softness at the same time. If you are a tentacle lover, you might be disappointed, as there weren't many or any if at all. (I'm not a fan of tentacles.) entrees- I had the roasted rockfish which had an orange ginger glaze & plated on a bed of carolina gold rice. The fish was meaty in texture, light firm & white. The flavors really came through. My sister had the grilled ribeye with fries. The steak with chimichurri sauce was cooked medium well per her request. The rosemary fries were hidden under the steak. I was able to sample some from my sister. Those fries were really good & well seasoned. I'm not sure why they place the steak over the fries versus plate them to the side. The choices of dessert were chocolate cake, creme brûlée or key lime pie. I opted for the chocolate cake and my sister went with the cream brulee but we each halved ours so we could try both. They both did not disappoint! The chocolate cake was massive - tall and thick with chocolate ganache with the cake portion soft, moist but crumbly yet soo good. The creme brulee was a winner as well. Creme brulee is always a good choice if you want a light dessert. It was delightful! You could hear the crisp crackle as the spoon broke into the top torched caramelized sugar. The sound alone was satisfying. It's nice to be able to enjoy the restaurant and patio before memorial day hits and it becomes noisy and busy. read more

Decided to have breakfast here after spending the night here at the Delta Hotel. The prices were fairly reasonable for a hotel restaurant in a resort oriented area. We ordered from the menu rather than getting the breakfast buffet, as I often find the eggs are often overcooked on buffet lines. I ordered their basic breakfast which was two eggs to order, choice of meat (bacon or sausage), potatoes, and toast. Service was fair - friendly but not very attentive. We had a party of five. I had scrambled eggs, two others had same breakfast just eggs over medium. The restaurant was nearly empty and it took quite a long time for the food. We ran out of coffee, (the cups were tiny) and couldn't get server for a while and they wouldn't leave a carafe at the table. This happened several times. When the food came , all of the eggs were overcooked. Scrambled eggs were dry, and both orders of over medium were pretty much solid. It was a very nice looking restaurant and clean. When time came to pay the bill, they had no ability to really take cash or make change. They had to send someone to get money from the manager. This was after 9 am. I guess they expect everyone to charge their room or pay with a card. Overall, I'd not probably dine there again based on my experience, and take a chance on a nearby local restaurant or just grab something from the coffee shop on the same floor. read more

Went there for brunch and the service was quite terrible. My partner and I were there with family in town who were staying at the property, so we suggested trying Tides Coastal Kitchen (as when it was Tin Cup, we had another not to great experience, but were willing to try it out again). The same level of service ensued at Tides as it was before at Tin Cup - totally awful. Upon our initial seating/greeting from the server, it took us exactly 22mins from being seated until we saw our her again. She was very sparse throughout our entire meal as there were multiple long windows of time where we wouldn't see her at all. I understand that with a larger party on a weekend (we had a party of 7 out on the patio @ 11am on a Sunday) some things may go awry, but the service was so poor. We asked for the check after eating meals and she disappeared for 10mins; we then saw her reappear randomly only to remind her of the check again. Because of our larger party size, 20% gratuity was added to the bill. Unfortunately, I do not feel like the meal or service we had was worth anywhere near the price point we paid. I hope the best for Tides Coastal Kitchen, the location is incredible and the rest of the staff we interacted with were nice. But I don't think we will be eager to return after that experience. read more

I've never written an online review for any business or product, but dinner at Tides Coastal Kitchen for my wife and I was a memorable experience. The online reviews were promising, and the website made it seem like a chill "coastal" vibe, away from the louder Virginia Beach strip. We had reservations and were seated promptly on the patio at 7:30 on a recent Friday in July. Nice view of the Bay and sunset. What we hadn't expected was the incredibly loud dance music thumping just yards away, on the portion of the patio that was serving as a poor excuse for a club. It was so loud that we wouldn't hear each other talk, and we wondered later how the hotel guests and surrounding condos felt about the migraine-inducing noise. (Our Gen-X souls felt particularly crushed when the DJ started blaring a techno version of "Smells Like Teen Spirit." I'm so sorry, Kurt.) Our waiter, bless his heart, was clearly only a few days on the job, and it's possible he had never been to a restaurant before in his life. There was a special "Fried Chicken & Champagne Fridays" menu that the hostess had handed to us, and he said that he'd never seen it before. There was, however, no drinks/cocktails menu, but he did kindly list the beer options for me. We ordered Oysters Rockefeller as an app. Having lived in New Orleans, the birthplace of the dish, I don't know what I thought I'd be getting here. When they arrived, they smelled like moldy fish, and when I tasted a bit of one, they were clearly not cooked enough. Not eating them was the best decision of the night. Another highlight was my beer. Unbeknownst to me, the draft beer system at Tides apparently has some sort of trick where the bottom of their plastic cups has a magnetic ring that has a replaceable metal disc sticking to it. The disc has a cute message on it ("Would you rather?"), I guess to spur conversation when you reach the end of your beer. (How someone is supposed to have a conversation in that EDM din, I'm not sure.) I didn't realize this, and when my wife asked about the bottom of my glass, I poked at it from the bottom with my finger, the metal disk came loose, and most of my beer spilled through the hole in the bottom, all over the table and me. Perhaps a warning to patrons about the hole in the bottom of one's beer cup would be helpful. For dinner, I got the fish and chips, which were lukewarm (the chips) and small (the fish). My wife got the fried chicken bucket special, which had two enormous (and enormously dry) biscuits and one fried thigh and one fried wing. Not much of a bucket. The special had included an option for a bottle of sparkling wine, but by the time our waiter realized that was missing, we were already done "eating," so we cancelled that. My wife and I have traveled the world and eaten many meals, and we've spent enough time in Virginia Beach to know to keep our expectations mid on a summer Friday. But along with having to find our own silverware, anti-fly fan, and the hearing loss, this was one of the laughably bad meals we've had in a while. They didn't charge us for the bottle that never arrived, but they did try to charge us for the oysters, which I asked to be removed from the bill. On the way out, my wife saw a cockroach in the bathroom. read more

This was my first visit to Tides Coastal Kitchen formerly The Tin Cup Oyster Bar. They changed the name last month for what reasons I do not know. The menu did receive a small revamp as well and still offers seafood, but apparently not a focus. For non hotel guest parking is free by using the valet service. Pull straight in and receive a ticket. Throw them a few bucks tip as the service is never free. I found this to be ideal to bring in locals like myself. The valets were welcoming and instructed us where Tides was located after entering the hotel lobby. Everything was clean and presented nicely. The elevator is to the left walking in and the restaurant is on the second floor in the rear. Everything we encountered was clean and looked nice, even smelled good. A hostess was welcoming and seated us at our choice of table which was on the deck. It was a hot mid day weekend, but perfect for vacation vibes with nearby pool and the bay in front of us. Lots of activity off the water and cabanas dotted along the water line. Our waiter provided menus and followed up with drinks in a timely manner. He smiled and was friendly. The deck was probably 25% capacity, again it was hot! A piña colada and margarita was ordered. Waters were automatically put on the table which is smart, however they were small cups. The menu is smallish which is ok as a variety of items to chose from was offered. The drinks took possibly 15 minutes, too long! Our orders were taken at that time. Fish n' chips spoke to me as it's a fave I tend to get when ever I see. But a whopping $28 seemed obscene. My wife got a Chicken Cesar Salad with a more modest price point of $14. We really enjoyed the drink and view and was in no rush thankfully. A water refill was performed as we wait. I would recommend larger cups or a decanter for guest to fill on their own. Places that want a higher level of service can get burned if they do not perform. After approximately 35 minutes food came out. This was too long of a wait. A second water refill was performed as both were almost empty. Ketchup was provided. I immediately asked for more tartar sauce. My wife thought her salad was fresh and tasty. The croutons had a different take with a mini baguette appearance. The visual was spot on. My fish n' chips was huge! Two large pieces + a half. The fries were place underneath and not overly plentiful. The waiter did return quickly with add sauce. The white fish was cooked correctly with an excellent crispy batter. The fries although fine initially went down hill with grease soaking in from the fish. I absolutely loved the fish, but there was too much in my opinion. I would lower the price point $5 and do one less piece as well as the fries should not be placed underneath. No follow up on taste, or add needs. Past the half way point of our meal the waters were empty. The waiter was absent to request a refill, but ultimately should never need to ask. Another server did see the need for refills and took care of it. Fantastic teamwork. When we saw our waiter we asked for a check. At this point we had been there over an hour and a half. The total was $81 and change without tip. After 20% applied over $100. This obviously was too much for the overall experience. The waiter I might add was 100% friendly and accommodating, but likely stretched to thin with tables inside. The restrooms are just outside their door and we found both clean. However the sink faucets are too high causing water to go every where. This review was a bit of a challenge to nail down on a even number scale. I do not believe they hit a 3 (A-OK) in my book. However they were not far off with a 2.5 rounding down. Higher prices are somewhat expected at resort properties. However absent and slow service with no follow up cannot be given a 3 if I'm evaluating. I would encourage them to develop a social presence. Their Instagram has no photos. Spend some money on professional photos highlighting a revamped menu. For me I probably will not return any time soon. read more

Ingredients selection, ambiance, cooking execution and presentation, all excellent. Service was horrible, and it wasn't busy. Server was guessing her way through, left our drinks we ordered on the bar (someone else had to go get it after we waited a while), and made the experience very poor. We only came here because Hot Tuna opens later. This place has so much potential, but was made bad because of service. read more

Meh, I wasn't impressed with Tin Cup. It has potential, but staffing issues and food quality that doesn't justify its price points equates to a lackluster birthday lunch. As far as its optics, Tin Cup is easily 5-stars. They are located on the second floor of the Delta Hotels Bayfront Suites and are situated mere feet from the water (Chesapeake Bay). Their setup is quite lovely - you can opt to sit outside and enjoy the view. We decided to stay inside as it was a tad chilly yesterday (6/5/23). Upon arriving, we had to wait a few minutes to be seated (the host wasn't at the host stand). The host was kind and pleasant, but she was helping the rest of the FOH staff. Kudos to her helping out, but it took some time for her to get around to seating us. I made reservations, but it wasn't busy when we came in for lunch. After we were finally seated, we checked out the menu and waited. Then we waited some more. Initial table greet took roughly 10 minutes. By my observation, this was the result of just one server available to work both the inside dining area and the outdoor deck. There was a bartender on duty with two people dining at the bar and the host, whom I already mentioned was helping out wherever and whenever she could. With it being a Monday, I get it - management scheduled as few as possible to save on labor. But, man, on our end there was a lot of waiting going on. That lone server was Dianna. She was nice but there were enough people dining in to prevent her from providing more table visits. When she arrived at our table for the initial table greet, we were ready to order our entrees. So we ordered everything (drinks, appetizer, entrees) at once. Mom ordered coffee but they didn't have any made, so a fresh cup didn't arrive until after we received our appetizer (Chesapeake crab dip). We were almost finished with the crab dip when our entrees arrived. Mom ordered the oyster po' boy while I decided to treat myself (it was my birthday, after all) to a ribeye. Mom commented that her entree was decent but there was too much breading - it masked the actual size of the oysters. I liked my ribeye - it was cooked to a perfect mid-rare. It wasn't a 14 oz. piece (more like 11-12 oz.), though, as the menu described. This combination means Tin Cup cut back a little in lieu of rising costs. Again, I understand, but that means the customer is overpaying. I felt like I overpaid, so this stands as one of the less memorable birthday meals I've encountered. As we were finishing our meals, Dianna came by and dropped off the check. She didn't ask if we needed anything else and didn't offer any dessert. Considering a birthday is a good excuse to order dessert, I was upset with this. I'd like to stress that Dianna was kind, but she was likely ready to get rid of a bunch of customers so that maybe she could catch a breath. This portion of our dining experience basically confirmed Tin Cup has staffing issues. That's crummy because they really could rock things out under optimal conditions. During our meal, I ran into a former co-worker now employed at the Delta (but not the restaurant). He told me that Tin Cup may permanently close and reopen under a new, more seafood-centric concept. Maybe that change will do some good, but if they continue to operate with no help, the concept will not matter. Thank you, though, Tin Cup, for your efforts. JV read more

Pretty average hotel restaurant--nothing has really stood out. The burgers are decent but overpriced (typical hotel markup) and consistently way too salty. The new Snag Burger didn't help--candied bacon just added more salt to the mix. Crab hush puppies are fine, nothing memorable. The mac and cheese definitely isn't worth $10--small portion and not particularly flavorful. Fries are always rubbery; they really need to come up with a better recipe. Breakfast has been hit or miss. The burrito is solid and probably my favorite item so far. Biscuits and gravy were underwhelming--tasted like a frozen mix, more Bob Evans than homemade. When it comes to brunch, I'll stick with Bay Local. read more

I'm not quite sure how to rate this restaurant since my two experiences were totally different. The second I don't consider the fault of the restaurant. It appears to be that of a shortage of staffing. But back to the beginning. The restaurant has a beautiful & scenic view of the Chesapeake Bay. It's located in the newly renovated Delta Hotel by Marriott. Locals will remember it as the long time Virginia Beach Resort Hotel & Conference Center. The location is where Great Neck Road dead ends into Shore Drive. It can be accessed from I-264 via the London Bridge Road exit going north. London Bridge becomes Great Neck Road when it crosses Virginia Beach Boulevard. I-64 to Northampton Boulevard to Shore Drive is a route as is (from the Oceanfront) Atlantic Ave north which becomes Shore Drive when it rounds Cape Henry & heads west. Park in the underground parking lot & take the elevator, located at the back, up to the restaurant level. There is beach access adjacent to to restaurant entrance. The restaurant renovation is beautiful with open views of the Bay, even seated at inside tables. There is a large bar nicely located. Make a reservation before planning to go, especially during tourist season. At the height of the season reservations must be made well in advance. We happened to go the most recent time on Labor Day & lucked out on getting reservations. I'm sure many tourists were already on their way home. The host who seated us remarked that without reservations we would not able to be seated. I eventually learned why. Our server was great. I wanted a drink they no longer had on the menu, the Tin Cup Smash. He said the bartender would fix it anyway. It was terrific. We began with their fabulous oysters, half my favorite (Lynnhaven) & half my son's choice. We noticed that in our section there appeared to be only the one server & one person bussing tables. He cleared our table before we had gotten our entrees, seemingly quite nervous & said to us that he was really stressed. We thought that a strange random comment. It seemed to be taking a long time for the food but we didn't mind waiting. Our section started to clear out without others being seated, which was also strange on a holiday weekend. Eventually our server came to our table, seeming to need to share his stress with friendly patrons. He said the entire kitchen staff had walked out. There was no one in the kitchen. But he assured us we would still get our food & the meat would be Comp'd. I felt badly for them, having this happen on Labor Day, most likely with a full hotel. When the food came you could tell it had not been prepared by a chef. The tuna was fine. But the brussel sprouts & asparagus were overcooked. I was fine with them since I understood what a problem the staff was attempting to work through. The server deserved a big tip considering how bad his night must have been. I made sure to put it directly in his hand. Our first visit to this restaurant was fabulous. So I strongly urge you to try this picturesque restaurant. Don't forget to order the Oysters! read more

Hello again Yelp family, I went to a conference for work in Virginia Beach and a coworker recommended this spot. The inside is super cute; there is an outside portion, but unfortunately we did not sit outside nor scope that area out. This restaurant is inside of the Marriott, it's easy to miss as there is no sign to indicate this, parking is free and not an issue. Service was immediate, friendly, but not great. We had to wait and ask for water refills and at times our server was MIA. For my entree, I got the seafood pasta (mussels, scallops, rockfish, shrimp, smoked tomato sauce, fettuccini). The seafood was perfectly cooked and plentiful, but it lacked flavor and seasoning. It was okay when I added salt and pepper, but it truly needed more and has the potential to be a great dish, the garlic bread that comes with it is yummy! All in all this is a okay restaurant, nothing more, nothing less. read more

So I booked a reservation for a large party of 20 and they were able to accommodate. The day of we arrived about 15min early and were shown to our seats as we waited for the rest of our group. There were alot of flies (due to the sliding glass doors) and food debris left on the floor was attracting knats. At this time we're told that the restaurant doesn't do split checks. I told our waiter that I wasn't informed at the time of booking or via confirmation so we would need to have to have the checks split. The waiter seemed off put but said they would split the checks. We ordered our food and it was a Saturday so we anticipated a wait. The food came out hot and except for a few minor hiccups. Was delicious. ​​​Overall the experience was adequate but did not exceed expectations. read more

Excellent. The button up beer. Do not press the button below. Lesson learned. They outside view of the beach is epic. It is in a hotel so you may have to valet park. Place is an open space and plenty of intimate scene for a date or hangout outside with friends for brunch or just some oysters delight. read more

Disappointed! Went for Happy Hour, the Happy Hour menu did not state what wines were on special, flavors of crushes not listed. Server was new, but unaware and had to ask. We gave grace, but service was slow from the bar. We started with the Parmesan fries and eggplant dip. Fries arrived cold, eggplant dip was tasty. We ordered the sliders (good), Oysters Rockefeller (not cooked thoroughly), and wings (disappointing). We won't be back. It's sad that a restaurant in such a nice location isn't better. Disappointed to say the least. read more

For the amount of money we paid, we expected to see our server more than every 30 minutes. She was rarely seen. We spent 30 minutes with water only. Once she showed up, we knew we had to order everything we wanted bc who knew when she would make an appearance again. We got our food all at the same time. No spoon for the soup, we ate it with our forks. Had to. It would've been cold if we waited for our ever elusive server. We eventually asked for the bill and paid inside the restaurant bc we knew it'd be another half hour before we saw the server. The food was good. But there are too many local restaurants in Virginia Beach with good food AND service. No need to return. Not even for the 15% discount they offered us. read more

Waitress was abrupt and told us she had no menu to show us because they're revamping things. She told us they didn't have specific liquor items that we could clearly see displayed behind the bar. Sorry she was having a bad day. Won't be leaving a tip beyond 5%. Usually leave 35 to 30% minimum. Not this time. Won't be back. read more

Tides Coastal Kitchen - Nonexistent menu. Waitress told us they were revamping everything and seemed resistant to serving us. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

I decided to give this restaurant another try as I was staying at the connected hotel again and didn't want to venture too far one of the nights. I was pleasantly surprised at how improved it was compared to almost two years ago. However, this was during tourist season and my original visit had been during the off season. Everything we ordered this time was delicious and the service was great. Whatever changes this restaurant has made, I hope they keep it up because we had a wonderful dinner. read more

Great view. Awesome calamari. I had the gnocci and i was delighted. Erica the dining room manager was very nice to our table and came up and spoke to us several times to make sure we were ok read more

OK, so the food is actually pretty decent... but the view, is where its at!! I ordered a crab dip, & it does contain spinach...and quite a bit of it but honestly it was reallyyyy good! I also ordered a piece of salmon with an old bay cream sauce accompanied by fingerling potatoes, and asparagus....Again It did not disappoint! The service and drinks are just mediocre, which is why I took away one star. The interior is very pretty, and I wouldn't necessarily say romantic, but I don't think I would visit this place with beach clothes on. This spot is located at the Delta hotel just for reference. Enjoy! read more

Stephen, the general manager, and the hostess, Bev, and Grey, our waiter, were outstanding! From the moment we arrived, they greeted us cordially and seated us at our table. The restaurant is elegantly appointed in a casual coastal setting just on the Chesapeake Bay. The braised short rib was an incredibly generous serving and absolutely delicious and flavorful! It was so tender, I only needed my fork to eat it!! The staff was so accommodating and kept checking on us to make sure everything was great! Although we didn't get chocolate pear mousse because they ran out, the key lime pie was great! The field green salad was delicious and generous as well! The atmosphere was calm and relaxed in a casual setting with beautifully appointed furnishings! It was a great dining experience all around and we commend the staff on outstanding hospitality and service!! Kudos to the chef, who blew us away with the braised beef short rib!! It was phenomenal!! Highly recommend this place!!! We will definitely return for more!! read more

I just....am confused. This place is considered upscale but the food is crazy bland. Who is the chef? And why are they employed here? The shrimp and grits is wildly overpriced for a full serving the size of a softball. The she crab bisque tasted like sherry--thats it. Just sherry. It felt alcoholic, it was simply not good. As for the low country boil....it should be called low seasoned boil...not a seasoning in site. Im certain salt wasnt even considered, and for a restaurant in the south, thats simply sinful. I had to send my cocktail back because it was so bitter it literally repulsed me. It's also kind of weird that this place is considered upscale but they let people waltz in in dripping wet bikinis. Idk, im sure this place is fine, but it shouldn't be priced at what it is and be considered upscale. read more
