The batter was perfectly blended and the chips were crispy but not too dry. I went in on a rainy evening and the little shop was packed with people! They seem to know all their customers and the place is run like a family business. The fish was fresh and you have an option of frying it in batter or grilling it. We tried both and are still debating which is better. Their homemade tartare sauce goes really well with the fish too. We probably didn't need as much food as we've ordered, but the place is pretty good value and we were recommended to come here by locals (as compared to other places in Central Coast). And it was a rainy evening... So we didn't want to walk back here to get more if we're still hungry... We still managed to finish it all although we felt like bloated dory fish afterwards, which in itself is testament to the flavour (and how hungry we were...)

I got the wagyu deluxe and was presently surprised that it came with onion straws (thin crispy onion rings!)! The bun was great but unfortunately I was very disappointed with the patty which was cooked well-done with poor quality beef - dry and unflavourful, hard to believe it was wagyu. My friend got the atomic deluxe which came with a very thick and crusty bread for bun. The fries had absolutely zero salt. I'm giving this place a 3 because there's a lot of potential. Most of their online reviews are quite poor so I think if they consider their customers suggestions they can really improve! Keen to try the pizzas next time.

Reservations here are about as solid as a sandcastle on a beach as the king tide rolls in to crash against it. Having reserved 2 tables for a total of 16 people we were accosted by a procession of toolshops turning up and thinking the table was theirs. Literally 3 full groups wanted one of our reserved tables, despite our name being on the reservation card, in full view. Having to find people their tables wasn't on my menu for the day, but I did it anyways -- I won't hold daft customers against King Tide, that ain't their problem. We all ordered different things at different times, so things came out higgledy-piggledy -- Again, I can't fault King Tide here, we probably should have gone up all at once. (Big Tip: There is a bistro style table service in effect here. What this means is that you go to the counter, order and pay, and are then given a number on a stand. One of the staff then brings your order over when it is ready.) Where I *can* fault King Tide is on the seafood platter for 2 (The hot and cold for $120). First off it's a $120 spend at what is tantamount to a fish and chip shop by a marina, replete with seagulls, plastic chairs, and a view of water and rundown ships. The platter comes with fresh prawns, lobster tail, oysters, smoked salmon, and an array of fried seafood items (plus dipping sauces), and chips. It all sounds good till you try the food. My first item was the lobster tail. I've had really good lobster in Halifax, so I'm well versed in the fare. I took half and began to remove it from its shelled home. Unfortunately I could tell before I even tasted it that it was dry (overcooked) and somewhat rubbery (a symptom of frozen seafood). The flavour itself was fine (nothing exceptional) but it lacked wow factor. There was no buttery sweet goodness... It was dry. The fresh prawns were next, and these were the best thing on the platter. Still in their complete shell you will have to de-vein them as you peel and prepare them for your word hole. I'm not the biggest oyster fan, but I tried one and found it far too briney to bother going back for a second. Even with the addition of lemon juice the salt water taste was overpowering. It's not a flavour that screams "try me again!". The smoked salmon (not the kind you buy at a deli, though the taste is similar) was also very dry. The flavour was very good and I had a few pieces but the dryness killed it for me. The fried stuff was all pretty good. Clearly this is where King Tide can claim expertise. The calamari was al dente, the fish nicely fried, and the chips crunchy and fluffy. The crab leg was a nice surprise too. Overall I found the platter to be way too expensive for what you are actually getting, and the skill of cooking employed. It was average, nothing stood out as exceptional. I will note however that 3 of us shared the platter, and it was enough for the 3 (we did have cake afterwards so maybe everyone was saving themselves for that). Whilst the spot itself is quite nice and the staff friendly enough, the food doesn't deliver on expectations. I would come here again but would probably stick to the standard fish and chips next time, because I'd be knowing what I was getting and be happy to have it.
