Tide Tables Restaurant and Marina

"Come enjoy the rustic vibe on the water! You have to eat the fish! We started with 2 soups: chicken and kielbasa and the grouper bisque. Both had great flavor! Next we enjoyed the Mahi Mahi grilled and fried in a basket. We also had the blackened scallops and fish tacos. The coleslaw was delicious with added pineapple! The fries were crispy! The key lime pie really was a fantastic ending! Our waitress Heather was friendly and efficient! Highly recommend! We will be back!"

"We'd driven past this place more than once coming in and out of AMI the last couple of years and really never even noticed it...except that the parking lot was generally always full. So after checking around it seemed that the people who responded to my questions were very high on rating this place as a great place to get some great local food.... They were correct! The hostess was very accommodating to our needs and found us seating quicker than anticipated. The server was a bit slow on the soda refills though, which is a pet peeve of mine. The Fish Tacos were Blackened Mahi with a sesame-ginger sauce....ohhh baby are they tasty! Blackened Mojo Chicken for the Mrs was rated as excellent as well. Our associate had the Fried Mahi dinner and it looked as good as it was in size...a good portion! The sides were average fair but decent...no complaints just seemed abit short as compared to the meals. We'll definitely be back again in the future. Watched the end of a beautiful sunset as we waited to be seated...good time!"

"We were just over in Bradenton Beach and decided to cross the bridge to Cortez and hit this place for dinner after seeing the reviews. The parking attendants were professional and directed us where to park and enter the restaurant. No wait to sit inside for a party of 5. We ordered breaded mushrooms, peal & eat shrimp and conch fritters for an appetizer. All were average with the fritters being too dark. I had a bowl of lobster and potato soup that was excellent and the best I had on AMI with large pieces of lobster. My main entree was the blackened combo platter. The shrimp and scallops along with the mahi mahi were good but not blackened as requested but more of a bronze. I enjoyed the side of smoked baked beans and a very small side of pineapple coleslaw. The award winning key lime pie was very good but not the best I had in AMI. A little too sweet. The shock top pitchers of beer were the most affordable we had on our vacation and poured into frosted mugs. High/low picnic and bar seating. Indoor/outdoor bar. Deck with water views. Economical serving items from styrofoam plates and bowls, paper menus to plasticware. Small discount for cash payment. Excellent service from our 9 year veteran Virginia. Pricing is on the high side for the setting. Virginia brought it up to the 4 star ⭐️ overall rating. I probably would return for lunch and sit on the deck to give them another try."

"Awesome fresh Grouper right at the docks. You would probably drive past this place if you didn't see the positive reviews. We have eaten here 6 times, and the quality of fish, along with the generous portions, keep us coming back. We also enjoy the deep-fried mushrooms. We shared the very authentic (tart and creamy) Key Lime pie. If you don't mind sitting outside, enjoying the salt air and boats passing by, then I would recommend Tide Tables to you."
