Tide Room — Restaurant in Ocean City

My wife and I stopped into the bar area for a drink. It was dark and not inviting at all except for the beautiful ocean view. It was 1:00pm on a Saturday so we knew we would pay higher drink prices. My beers were $7 each. Wife asked for a Cab and bartender said he didn’t have any, would a Chardonnay work. Wife said no she wanted a cab. He continued to look and found a bottle called Greenwing. We were expecting the glass to cost maybe as high as $14 since not happy hour prices. We get the check and I gasped when I saw the price of the glass of wine….$22!!! We would never pay $22 for a glass of wine and c’mon man it’s the off-season in Ocean City! My wife said “$22 for a glass, this must be a very expensive bottle” bartender said Yes, very expensive. We looked up the brand and a bottle runs about $18.99, man talk about price gouging the customer! Bartender then says “I was trying to find you the bottle that would have been $14 a glass, but couldn’t so this was all we had.” Well, at least give the customer a head up on the price. bartender could have simply said “I will honor the lower price since not your fault we didn’t have the other brand in stock.” Basic customer service skills. The Tide Room should just remain closed over the off-season if you are going to charge such ridiculous prices.

We were lucky to find ourselves at tide room at the shore hotel. For dinner. It is completely different than last time. We were in Ocean City with new management and most exciting at two star Michelin chef. We were very anxious to find out what it would be like. Since we weren’t familiar with the menu at all and really hadn’t heard anything about the restaurant recommendation. He recommended the tuna tartare, the crab dip, coconut shrimp, and the truffle fries. Wow these were amazing recommendations.

There was so much crab in the crab dip! it was unlike anything with ever had and really really tasty. We also ordered crabcakes and brussels sprouts — without a question that was more than enough for four people for dinner. In fact, we all felt a little more than we would’ve liked because it was so delicious. Samuel was our waiter more accommodating. The entire staff was helpful and help make the dinner a memorable experience.

the drinks were generous and delicious. The atmosphere is beautiful without being pretentious, and the view of the ocean is always a delight. Even though you can see and have memories of the old Clarion hotel, it is been updated and renovated beautifully the windows when it’s warm enough will be open and in the bar there’s an entire wall that will open , this is a gem for Ocean City and we are glad we found it. We will...

I stayed at the Ashore Resort for a retreat back in April and immediately fell in love with their onsite restaurant, the Tide Room. Matt was phenomenal and made us feel at home. My husband and I had already planned our anniversary trip down here and I knew we’d have to go back! You can’t beat delicious food with an ocean view, no matter where you sit. Courtney was our server this time and she was fantastic! Further proving the entire staff is knowledgeable and dedicated to providing the best dining experience. The restaurant itself does have a nice selection of drinks to pair with their top notch menu, which is not easy to do sometimes. (Everything is delicious but crab dip is my favorite! )

If you’re looking for a nice restaurant where you don’t necessarily need a suit and tie or fancy clothes to relax and enjoy, highly recommend the Tide Room. You will not be disappointed. If parking is a concern being that this is located inside of the Ashore Resort, they have an overflow parking lot right...
