Salt and Meadow

Service was great. Views were amazing. Crab cake, octopus and rock fish amazing. Halibut and filet very good. Ordered filet med rare and it came medium well. Other than that all was very good and highly recommend.

My husband and I ate at Salt and Meadow for dinner and breakfast during our stay at the Tides Inn this week. The service was fantastic and the food was good! For dinner I had the catch of the "bay" and my husband had the Halibut. Both were portioned fairly and prepared perfectly. We had the tuna tartare for our appetizer and since we were celebrating a special occasion (noted when we made dinner reservations) we had a glass of sparkling wine brought to our table. For dessert we split the lemon curd and I had a cup of fantastic coffee while my husband finished his old fashioned (which was perfectly made). For breakfast I had the egg white., shrimp and mushroom omelet with a cappuccino and my husband had the French toast. Both were very yummy! The restaurant itself is beautiful and the staff were all very polite! We have been very fortunate to dine at nice establishments around the world and this one makes the list! Thank you Salt & Meadow and Tides Inn for a great experience!

Beautiful views, adequate service and relatively good food. Sadly they pulled the menu prices fromNew York City and in our case attempted to overcharge us still.

The food was good, if expensive, but the service was very disappointing. After our meal we wanted dessert and coffee. Our server, Britney, disappeared for 20 minutes. By the time she reappeared we were ready to leave, getting no dessert or coffee. We won't be back.

Truly exceptional experience. Best juicy burger like mama makes.. delicious flavor, must be local beef.. I poached my husband's burger while I had fresh soft shell sandwich with Obay fries, hot and crisp.. so stuffed,, wished I had room for their tasty desserts.. look so good.. worth the trip and a very beautiful view, amazing sunset on water. Special place to take family and or love one.

Chef Kyle has developed an amazing new menu for the renovated Chesapeake room. He has brought new and exciting items to the table. Breakfast included new Benedict's, breakfast burrito and blue corn grits. The crab BLTA sandwich was delicately baked and perfectly seasoned. Dinner had new stars of basil linguine with shrimp, duck, lamb chops and shrimp and chorizo with the blue grits. My only complaint is that we didn't stay long enough to enjoy every entree! Absolutely delightful!! We are looking forward to returning to enjoy all the renovations

We stayed at the Tides Inn over Memorial Day weekend and dined both for breakfast and dinner at the Salt and Meadow. I was very underwhelmed with the food and service. I have been several times to the Tides Inn and always looked forward to the food in the Chesapeake Restaurant. The wait time for drinks and bread was close to an hour during dinner service and the food was lacking seasoning and were very small portions. Breakfast was a long wait and my son and I never received our grits even after asking several times. The decor and setting is beautiful. The staff seemed polite but overwhelmed. I will be hesitant to eat on property the next time we visit which makes me so disappointed.

This is a great spot! The views are fantastic and we were so happy with the service. We had lunch --great chicken sandwiches. And the dinner was delicious--we had the pretzel and cheese for an appetizer, crab agnolotti and beef tenderloin for our entrees, and sorbet and peanut butter pie for dessert. Everything was great. I would highly recommend this place. Can't wait to come back.

I would agree with the other recent reviews - the high prices do not align with the location or service. Even coming from Northern Virginia, the prices were very high. We had dinner reservations (a Thursday evening), the restaurant was noticeably not busy, yet after sitting at our table for 45 minutes we hadn't even received the bread. The table next to us was having similar difficulties. The setting is beautiful. The servers are pleasant. The food was good but small portions. Limited menu as mentioned in other reviews. And the musical entertainment listed in the daily schedule for the Inn was a no show.

I am not one to normally leave a non positive review but given our experience here coupled with the fact we contacted the restaurant with direct feedback with little action I am leaving a review here.The restaurants ambience is extraordinary. The view and the new decor is outstanding. However, a group of friends went to celebrate a special occasion and we were asked several times about why we were coming for dinner yet the special occasion was not acknowledged. Minor feedback... but we missed the fun locker gift that the Tides had done in the past making it extra fun to celebrate at the restaurant.The food came out cold, portions were small and we felt as though food what was just so so. We missed the more traditional menu that better encompassed regional food the area has to offer.The service was lacking the general warmth and customer service that we had experienced in the past.When we got home and looked at our bill, we noticed that we were charge $38 for a single glass of wine. There was no indication from our server that that was the price of the wine. I did contact the restaurant manager to give some feedback and they credited the glass of wine yet did so in a somewhat begrudgingly manner.The Tides Inn holds special spot for not only us but many people in the area. Our family has visited the tides for many years and always made the restaurant a destination for special events, holidays, etc. We are very hopeful that the new restaurant makes some corrections and is successful.
