    Absolutely stunning Mother’s Day brunch service will well presented food options and a very attentive server making the experience wonderful. They only do brunch two times per year (Easter and Mother’s Day) and it is well worth it. The location is right on the water with great views of the bay.

    Dear Patrick, Thank you for celebrating Mother's Day with us at our annual brunch service this year. We are delighted that the views of Mission Bay and our carefully curated menu of seasonal favorites made the dining experience memorable. It was a pleasure having you dine with us, and we hope to welcome you again soon, whether for our regular dinner hours or at one of next year's special brunches. Sincerely, Ricardo Garcia Director of Food & Beverage

    We had the Halibut with Risotto, Whipped Garlic Potatoes, Herb Roasted Mushrooms, and Tidal's Bread Service. It was all extremely flavorful and well prepared. We listened to the servers recommendations and went all in and were not disappointed. How could you be in such a lovely setting on the water?

    Had a great experience. Had wonderful and friendly service from Sabrina at the table. There was a loud table near us that made it a little bit louder than ideal, but overall everything was fantastic.

    Everything was excellent. We had a group of six and we all loved the food. One of our party had difficult food sensitivities and Tidal was well able to handle.

    Food took forever and then burger was so over cooked it was dry. Server was nice. Fondue was amazing. Shrimp bisque was just ok. Halibut was good. Super over priced.
