Great food and our waitress was fantastic! Would not recommend if you have party size of 10 or more! Hostess was a little on the abrasive side and was condescending when we called to add our name to the waiting list. Overall, the food will not disappoint!

Went here for dinner while on vacation and it was great! The french fries the kids got were awesome. I did not like the sautéed mushrooms and onions but my steak was great. We had a seared tuna appetizer that was amazing.

We came here for dinner on a Sunday and it was delicious. There was live music with a lovely band, Chicago Blues… or something similar. Service was kind and helpful, food was delicious and we didn’t wait too long for it. Soup was a little salty for my taste but it was good.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a fantastic experience at Low Tide Steakhouse! The food was absolutely delicious—everything was cooked to perfection and full of flavor. What really made our night extra special was our server, Olivia. She was warm, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive. Her service added a personal touch that made the whole evening memorable. Highly recommend this spot for a great meal and even better service!

So once again our food was absolutely delicious and our steaks were cooked to perfection one medium the other medium rare the scallop appetizer should have gotten a double order they were that good. We had the 24 oz ribeye super nice cut of prime beef and the 10 oz filet mouth watering. Aubrey was a wonderful server and didn’t even write down our order and everything was 100% spot on. Thank you for another great experience at your restaurant. Salad bar is the freshest I’ve ever been to and this is the only place I will order a steak. Keep going strong Low Tide. We will see you next year and don’t forget to TIP. Just a little extra we were back again and this place is just fantastic steak again and awesome salad bar great server. Can’t beat this place. The best for steak I’ve ever been too. We will be back once again. Thank you low tide for making our trip worth it for the best steak.
