Envisioned and executed by renowned Charleston-based Cortney Bishop Design, The Kingstide's rustic yet refined interiors offer a nautical nod that goes beyond coastal expectations The menu offers a variety of seafood dishes thoughtfully presented in both raw and wood-fired preparations. Inspired by the beautifully simple flavors of the sea, The Kingstide partners with local and regional fisheries, farmers, and purveyors to showcase the Lowcountry's bounty through fresh, seasonally driven cuisine.

    I would think a restaurant of this quality would serve much better food on Thanksgiving. My turkey dinner was served in very good timing, not rushed at all. The quality of the whole dish was very lacking in flavor in fact...nowhere to be found. Very bland. The scallops were wonderful and the Caesar salad as good as we have had.
