Tides Tavern

Seating on the deck was a short wait for a gorgeous day. Check in was easy with text messaging notifications. Ordered Big A Burger that was so delicious with the added brisket that I didn't bother taking a picture. Had the Tides Amber that was surprisingly good despite not liking ambers. Onion rings were bland and greasy. Service was a bit slow and our waitstaff kept forgetting our requests. Front door waiting area is too small, so one person should check in. This is a 21 and older place.

Beautiful location and clean facilities. Friendly staff, short wait. Unfortunately I don't think the food is worth the price. Friend ordered pizza, smelled & looked delicious so I believe reviews are accurate on that one! Skip the calamari. Thin pieces, left a lot to be desired. I ordered the Dungeness crab blt. While tasty, it had a depressingly small portion of actual crab on it. A very thin layer and not much "crab" taste. Can't say it'd be worth coming back here to eat what I had, but maybe for the views and a beer

I went yesterday with family for lunch. The last time I was here was four years ago and this time was much better. It’s a nice atmosphere lots of natural light and there is an enclosed warmed patio outside. I had the halibut and chips 2-piece. It’s been the best halibut and chips I’ve had in a year or two. Nice beer batter, light fish and tartar sauce was perfect. Our sever Tilly was very nice and did a great job taking care of us. I would recommend visiting if you are in Gig Harbor.

This place has been on point to the point of inventing their own class of dive bistro. Their food is excellent and the service is perfect and unpretentious. They know how to facilitate and execute a top notch classic Americana menu and if that wasn't enough, they got a wonderful view. I would still eat there if the view was the dump but I'm glad I don't have to. Thanks to everyone at the Tides for being a place that I know I will have a great experience at no matter who I'm with.
