Second time dining at Thai Tide, and it was fantastic! We booked during happy hour and ended up inviting a few friends for a long, enjoyable dinner. The staff were incredibly friendly and very accommodating. The red snapper with green mango was absolutely delicious, and the Tawaii cauliflower was divine. Their cocktail selection was also unique and interesting. Looking forward to coming back to try their set menu!

Talay seafood dinner menu was fantastic - everything was served fresh and we left very full afterwards. The Thai food inspired cocktails like Pas Thai and Tom Yum were also well made and very tasty

The food was excellent but unfortunately service was terrible. It took over an hour took to our entrees, including simple spring rolls. We had to wait another half hour for our mains and they came out randomly, not together. However, I could understand if something was wrong with the kitchen but it was the staff that made it terrible—we had to ask for our food 4 times, ask for water multiple times. After us asking multiple times, they did end up comping our drinks at the end of the meal but there was no hospitality throughout.

Ordered the valentine's set, arrived at 8:30, did not get drinks until 9:30 and first course at 9:45. Food arrived cold and not very tasty. Had to leave early for another booking and did not overall experience the full course. Did not provide with plates and cutlery, and was not able to find any waiters/waitress to ask for some, maybe due to short staffing so we ended up eating the food with our hands. Still charged us for the cocktail although we never got the food.

I ordered the green curry chicken. I loved the chicken and the sauce. It was spicy for me but enjoyable. I removed the green beans and bell peppers as I wasn’t aware they were in the dish. I’d order the green curry chicken again.

We were charged for 2 bottles of wine at $80 each when all we had was 2 x $18 glasses. I also gave a tip prior to us being overcharged and never got the tip money back. Yes they were busy, yes it was NYE, but left a totally disappointed taste in our mouths. Felt like they were out to rip us off!
