During our recent stay at The Tides Inn, we enjoyed a wonderful experience overall, especially with the fantastic food and beautiful surroundings. The staff, particularly the wine sommelier and our waitress, provided noteworthy service that truly enhanced our visit. However, some minor issues, like shower water pressure at the marina and an alarm disrupting our sleep, prevented it from being perfect. Overall, it’s a lovely spot for those looking to unwind and enjoy great dining.
