T	Teressa Grigg on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great spot! Good service and a cool outlay.. the only disappointment was my prawns. I wasn't expecting such a tomato flavored sauce on garlic prawns.. and they were a bit chewy. Still enjoyed our meals though! Thank you
G	Gillian Allott on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Had fish of the day. So tasty. With a nice mash and meditareanean roasted veges which were yummy. And wonderful views of the ocean to add to the experience. Thinking that some of the negative reviews on here were during the Omicron peak, but was definitely sorted when we were here
C	Charli Hanson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The interior and overall aesthetic of the venue was lovely, that's what drew us in for a casual afternoon bite to eat. However, the drinks order took some time to arrive. The arancini balls were okay but the pizza I ordered was inedible. The dough was raw and the cheese not even melted. I'm convinced it was store brought from the supermarket and then thrown into the oven for less than five minutes. My partners fish was overcooked and chewy. It was awful. I mentioned this to the waitress who cleared our plates, she didn't reply, took our plates and walked away slightly embarrassed. As we had to pay at the beginning and not after we finished I didn't get a chance to let the manager know and discuss a refund. Also may partner didn't want me to make a scene lol! Hoping this was just teething issues and things have sorted themselves out. Maybe a new chef is worth investing in.
D	Dan Moore on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Self-styled as an eatery but feels like more of a pub, ordering and paying (after ordering) is at the bar, and it's take your drinks back to your table. It's transport your own glasses of table water also. I had pizza on super thin bases, which was nice enough. Nice outlook from the balcony, which is a winner on a nice day. Easy parking. Overall good.
J	Jamie Anderson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Unfortunately, we didn't have a good experience overall. We were there from 6.30 to 8pm on a Tuesday. They weren't overly busy... plenty of tables unfilled. Our food only arrived in the last 15 minutes we were there. It was lukewarm. We ate as quickly as we could, cancelled dessert, and left. The music was too loud, especially considering the only customers they had were there to have dinner. It was difficult to have a conversation. There were flies. The good points: My cocktail was nice.
O	Olya Daniliuk on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It was great experience The King Tide is one of the best restaurant in Kaikoura Atmosphere and service was awesome Would highly recommend it for visiting ???
S	Sires Bharathan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place is large and airy. The two waitresses are lovely. However, they are run off their feet. Menu is so ordinary and food is bland. The picture of the burger is how it arrived!! Half plate! The attempted serenade by the multitude of flies I could have done without……..this establishment needs a through revamp…..perhaps it is a good pub when one is intoxicated. So, don’t go sober!!!
L	Les on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Cannot fault this establishment. We were greeted by staff as we entered and seated immediately. Would rate them 5 ⭐ service. Staff are well presented and extremely efficient. Had fish and chips as a main meal. Large meal, well presented and worth the price.
