- JJessicaHawaii •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoMy family and I had the best experience at Tidal. What a cute, quaint and peaceful Christmas Buffett dinner. The staff were very attentive and kind. They took the time to talk to us and despite it being a Buffett they offered to get us food items. We were there for almost 3 hours and it sure did not feel like it. The food was amazing, great seafood and even picky eaters were thrilled with the options. We sat outside at sunset taking in the beautiful views. Bartender even created a special drink for me. I try to take my dad to a new Christmas Buffett dinner every year ( we are local) we’ve been to about 10 different places, and the tidal hands down was bar far the best experience we’ve had. I will 100 percent go back.More infoTidalPrice: Very Expensive• American• Mission Bay•4.5

- KKathleenPhoenix / Arizona •5 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoSimply put, one of the best meals I have had the privilege of enjoying! Delightful server, Calvin, was very in tune with the timing of our meal and our needs. The fixed menu was perfect for Christmas Eve, as it kept the meal flowing and decision-making to a minimum. Every course was delectable from the scallop crudo, the creamed mushrooms, and the sea bass, to the date cake with walnut ice cream! Mezcal hibiscus cocktail was creative and tasty, as well! I will definitely be back!More infoHerb & WoodPrice: Expensive• Californian• Little Italy•4.7
