Time And Tide

I came here on a weekday evening with a reservation. The restaurant space is large and you can see all of the dried fish similar to when Korean bbq restaurants hang up their meat. I thought the concept of "steakhouse but make it seafood" was such an interesting concept. I really loved the Cheddar Goldfish, it lived up to the hype, the compound butter that they used on the side was a perfect pairing. The longfin squid with cacio e pepe was an interesting take and had the perfect flavor and texture to mimic pasta. The tuna collar was a bit hard to eat and very filling. The spoons and forks worked better than the sea shell they had given us. It was a bit messy of a dish, which contrasted with the nice ambiance of the restaurant. My favorite was probably the halibut pithivier. We got the au poivre sauce which paired perfectly. The fish was tender and I really enjoyed this fresh new take on a beef wellington. I couldn't believe each additional sauce was $6, but I understood it after tasting the one we got. Overall, the service was lacking a bit. The waiters and waitresses seemed to not really know the menu well, but the food itself was very interesting, delicious and worth the cost.

The restaurant is a little corporate but also a little clubby and loud, which was a funny mix, but it kind of explains the whole vibe. A lot of the menu appears gimmicky but is really good, very fresh, and impressively creative. I also have to call out how incredible the service was. It was attentive without any stiffness and each person who helped us couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. As I mentioned, the food was delicious, but the smaller dishes stood out to me most. Every dish on the menu is fish and seafood and is very fresh! While I wasn't wowed by our raw bar items, I'm glad we ordered the viral goldfish cracker. It was a fun start - not out of this world, but good to nosh on. The nori fries are also a must. They are like seaweed snacks but as French fries, which is so much better. We also started with the Longfin Squid, which comes in a cacio e Pepe sauce. As someone who doesn't always love grilled squid and doesn't like cacio e Pepe pastas, I couldn't get enough! It was definitely a decadent bite, but the char on the squid cut through some of the heaviness. For the mains, we ordered the grilled snapper and the halibut pivithier, which comes in a puff pastry. The snapper was good but not super memorable and the halibut was interesting but rich and the fish itself didn't have a lot of flavor. I also ate a lot of the plantains we got on the side! They were perfectly sweet paired with a crunchy, salty tahini topping. While we were of course full, I'm so glad we go the apple dessert. It was great, and the whole dessert menu looked like a hit, so don't skip out even if they look unexciting to you!

The food was overall really solid, but it still feels like Time and Tide is getting its legs with respect to service/experience.Came here on a Friday evening with two friends. I'll cover the food first and then the service.Food-wise, we opted to family style 3 restaurant week menus and then do some add ons. We got:- To start: mackerel escabeche, shrimp cocktail, steelhead trout crudo. My friends liked the mackerel the best but to me it tasted like mackerel with no additional twist (and I don't think the quality of the mackerel was enough to stand on its own). The shrimps were pretty large and meaty, with a delicious habenero sauce so I'd get that again. The crudo, while good, doesn't make sense as requiring a $9 supplement on the RW menu.- For mains: swordfish, strip steak, and crab tagliatelie. The tagliatelie was a little too rich and the pasta was just ok, especially compared to the many Italian places in the city. The swordfish was good, although swordfish isn't usually my go-to so I'd probably skip it again. However, the strip steak was really well cooked and melted so even though they bill themselves for seafood, I'd do strip steak all the way.- For dessert: the olive cake and panna cotta. Solid desserts but really nothing novel with either.- Supplements: the cheddar goldfish (duh) and longfin squid. Ok, full stop get the squid it was so good. Soft, rich, my first bite genuinely surprised me. The cheddar goldfish while fun was just a gimmick to me-- I'd rather have some soft bread rolls.In summary, I thought while there were a couple of misses and a few of the plates were a little bit small, the food largely delivered.Drinks-wise, we got the sea spritz, umami spritz, cold front, and okinawan old-fashion. They were all very solid.On service, everyone I interacted with was kind. I appreciated that they took jackets at the door, our server was friendly and felt like he checked in an appropriate amount of times. However, there were some small things that I think made the overall experience slightly lesser:- The chairs actually weren't that comfortable. This seems silly but it's true! I want a comfortable seat when I'm eating good food and it wasn't.- When we were finishing our appetizers, one of the staff came by and said "who's gonna finish that? someone has to" while pointing at the last piece of crudo on the plate. I think he probably meant it in a joking way, but it 100% did not come off like that. Honestly, it had been less than 15 minutes since we got our appetizers so it felt pretty uncalled for to be told to eat faster and it made me feel like we were being rushed the rest of the dinner.Honestly, I'll probably give Time and Tide a while before I go back so they can iron some of these details out, and will have to try it again before it becomes a place I recommend.

This review is for the Time and Tide restaurant week menu, which had a lot of the populaf dishes from the regular menu for a much reduced price. My party also ordered a few other items to share in addition to the resfaurant week menu as well.Overall, my personal favorite dishes were the uni toast and the grilled sword fish. The uni toast was a bit light on the uni taste, but the spread for the toast had an amazing texture and blend of flavors. I am a huge fan of citrus and it is used on most of the items we ordered (savory and dessert), so be careful if the acidi taste is not for you!The drinks were also amazing, including the non alcoholic option of the grape fruit mocktail! Will definitely be back to try more things

Beautiful and spacious interior with tasty, technically impressive food. Prices are pretty eye-watering, especially for the size of some of the portions (looking at you trout crudo) but service is quick and attentive as you'd expect from a higher-level of fine dining. The menu is a bit eclectic, ranging from the cheddar goldfish (a little too large) to the 'beef-Wellington' style halibut. Best thing on the menu is the crab tagliatelle which, at $36, almost seems like a bargain compared to the rest of the menu. If you're looking to try Time and Tide (maybe you watched the Bon Appetit video) I'd recommend giving their Restaurant Week menu ($60) a shot.

If you want a unique dining menu, this is your spot. The chef is Danny Garcia who was on Top Chef and his knowledge of food definitely shines throughout the menu. I was with a group of 10, so we ordered majority of the menu. Highlights include the goldfish, caviar, fries, steak and tuna lettuce wraps. The olive oil cake and banana split were also fantastic desserts. Outside of the food, the service was incredible. My water glass was never empty and I was never without a cocktail. Bag and coat check is available.

Huge, spacious place.Appetizers were delicious.Leek Salad and Wedge Salad both were refreshing with unique dressing. Red Snapper Crudo - tasty and stasted fresh.Entree were not as great as appetizers.Longfin Squid Cacio e Pepe - squid was not fully cooked so the middle part was slimy and mushy.Swordfish - I don't understand this dish, if purism seems to be the goal but the fish seems frozen not fresh so the fishy smell was overpowering..Halibut Pithivier - came here for this, unfortunately was surved lukewarm and the pastry wasn't puffy or not in the texture it should be, a bit disappointed.Dessert - Olive Oil Cake was very good! So fluffy and came with coconut ice cream.Cocktail menu looks very interesting but the taste didn't match up with the excitement from the menu/description.

Overcomplicated and pretentious.The good quality was definitely there don't get me wrong - but the portion sizes were completely off. Waiter spent over 5 minutes explaining the menu - felt so complicated. A lot of good flavours with the food for sure. The nori fries were small although tasted good. The trout crudo literally had nothing on it for 26$.. the squid and crab dishes had potential but there was barely any crab in the tagliatelle - nice hint of lemon in the sauce though. For dessert, they didn't even give a full banana for the split, just a half... talk about cheap!! Service was very weird; borderline uncomfortable. We had like 4-5 people serving us throughout the night, we gave different orders to different people. Seemed to be a clear lack of communication with their management. They tried very hard to be respectful throughout the night which I did appreciate. Atmosphere inside was beautiful but there was no sign for the entrance! Overall, a very underwhelming experience. Not at all worth the cost of what was spent.

We were really excited to try Time and Tide after seeing their feature on Eater! The Snack That Smiles Back - A giant cheddar goldfish with chives & Old Bay butter. Super cute and creative, but honestly, I would've preferred classic bread and butter. The cheddar flavor got a little heavy by the end.Trout Crudo - I've had much better crudos, and for $20+, I expected more fish (there were only 5 slices) and if not, fancier ingredients that would be worth the price here King Crab Tagliatelle - This was the surprise hit! Super creamy, packed with crab, but still felt balanced thanks to the citrus notes. Would definitely order again.Halibut Pithivier - Think beef Wellington, but with halibut inside. The texture was unreal--probably the most tender halibut I've ever had. But despite how gorgeous it looked, the flavor didn't quite live up to expectations. The sauce (you get to pick one of four) helped, though!Overall, some great ideas, but not everything landed for me. Would come back for the pasta, but I'd probably rethink my other choices.

Recently visited Time and Tide with high hopes, drawn to its charming atmosphere and credentials. The ambiance is elegant but the food was a bit of a letdown, primarily due to the overpowering nature of all their sauces.We ordered the nori fries, cheddar gold fish, oyster pan roast, the halibut and the charred cabbage. The nori fries and the gold fish were excellent but the other dishes lacked balance. The sauce for oyster pan roast was delicious but there were some oysters that were clearly not fresh. The halibut came wrapped in a mushroom duxelle puff pastry and took away from the fish while the charred cabbage was drenched in supposedly a dijon horseradish sauce that seemed like heavy cream without the horseradish flavor.The service was friendly but not sure Id return.
