My husband and I had dinner at The Tides last evening. The Tides is clearly a well-run restaurant. As we arrived, we noticed the parking lot was rather small, and I was wondering how we were going to find a place to part, and then we realized there was valet parking. Such a nice touch. We were seated promptly, and... More

Tides is an outstanding restaurant - the food is excellent and the service is unparalled. Be warned, it is on the pricey side so it's definitely something I reserve for special occasions (anniversaries etc.) but definitely worth it. I would give it high marks over the Cliff any day!

Our first visit to The Tides in May 2012. It was our wedding anniversary and the staff were great made us feel very special. Excellent food, great menu and wine list, not cheap but well worth it. Will definitely go back again when we next visit Barbados.

Tides has opened since our last visit to Barbados and we were looking forward to trying it. On arrival I told the reception that we were here and would like a drink in the bar. They asked if we would like to go to the table but I said no. Someone came and checked if we then wanted to go... More

As soon as we arrived we were greeted by attentive staff. This service continued throughout our stay. The food was wonderfully fresh, tasty and looked superb and was probabably half the price of "The Cliff" restaurant situated just down the coast. Would definately recommend.
