Hadn't been to Tidewater in quite some time, but me and my husband stopped in on a busy Friday. We got seated immediately and had gorgeous views all around! A special shout-out to our server Savanna! She was truly welcoming our whole time there. My husband got a Seafood pasta special, and we got the baconjam scallops! ! Aside from the delicious food, kudos Savanna, servers like you are exactly while we'll come back! Thanks Tidewater!

We made a last-minute, after-work decision to go to Tidewater Grille for dinner, and we're SO glad we did! Kristen was our server. She was pleasant, fun, personable...all the things ya want your server to be. We were both undecided, so we took Kristen's suggestion and got the crabcakes and bbq ribs. MAN! SO good! The presentation was great, and we both agree that it's the best we've ever had!! 10 outta 10!

Very nice setting along the waterfront. Plenty of outdoor seating if that's your preference. Menu options were very good with seafood being featured. Pricing was reasonable. We very much enjoyed our meal. Would go there again.

My husband made a reservation last Friday for our group of 8 which included my in-laws who love their Maryland seafood when they visit from out of town. We hadn't been back to Tidewater in years, but knew they had a classic Maryland menu and the views are wonderful. I felt compelled to share that the food and service were amazing. The scallops app with bacon jam and mustard sauce was outstanding! My MIL really enjoyed her crab cake platter which had big lumps of crab meat with a small amount of filler. I really enjoyed my French onion soup and buffalo chicken salad. My son was thrilled with his BBQ ribs and fries. The steamed muscles app and crab dip were excellent, as well. Nothing was overly salted as I had read in previous reviews. The service was good for a busy Friday as our waitress was very friendly and attentive and our food came out relatively fast. They had live music in the bar which was at an appropriate decibel level next to where we were sitting in the dining room. I was delighted to give my inlaws a positive dining experience Maryland-style. We will be back soon!

Hearty, tasty food at this serene, offbeat, enjoyable riverside spot. Large beer selection, old school plates. Delicious crab cakes. Satiable veggies. Down to earth service. Memorable decor and details. Authentic vibes. Easy parking. Definitely go.

Got the eggs Delmarva with lump crab - so good! The crab meat was sweet and perfectly cooked. The potatoes had a crisp texture and was delicious with onion. Not pictured is the French toast which had a healthy plate of 6 slices. Bloody Mary and Mimosa: $5 each. Love it! The service was so lovely - got to sit on the patio with my dog and they offered her water. It's a beautiful place that's relaxing and quiet and great view of the water.

This restaurant is an absolute gem! The outstanding view and amazing location create the perfect backdrop for a memorable meal. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and clearly knew their job inside and out. Plus, having access to free parking made the entire arrival completely stress-free. ​While the food took some time to reach our table, it was absolutely worth the wait. Every dish was fresh and full of flavor. They offer a great kids' menu, and the pasta was a massive hit—perfectly cooked and delicious. I also tried the Caesar wrap served with chips, and it was amazing; the flavors were balanced, and the chips added the perfect crunch. ​Whether you are looking for a fantastic family-friendly spot or just want to enjoy incredible food with a view, this place is highly recommended!

This place is an absolute gem right on the water. They have other seating as well as the grassy area right on the water or they have tables and several dozen geese who stay there during warm months. Four is equally as good. Crabcakes are one of the best ones. They are almost as big as tennis balls. There are no fillers inside and they give you tons of crab meat. Little ciabatta rolls and roasted corn were both amazing. Service is quick, efficient and caring. There is plenty of parking nearby.
