The Kingstide is Daniel Island's first and only waterfront restaurant. Boasting a pristine setting along the Wando River's meandering waterways, the beautifully appointed two-story space features an abundance of windows that maximize natural light and picturesque views. Envisioned and executed by renowned Charleston-based Cortney Bishop Design, The Kingstide's rustic yet refined interiors offer a nautical nod that goes beyond coastal expectations The menu offers a variety of seafood dishes thoughtfully presented in both raw and wood-fired preparations. Inspired by the beautifully simple flavors of the sea, The Kingstide partners with local and regional fisheries, farmers, and purveyors to showcase the Lowcountry's bounty through fresh, seasonally driven cuisine.

    We’ve been twice in the past month- had to find our server both times. The first time, they made my pregnant daughter wait 45 mins for food (they did comp it tho) and this time, we almost got up and left because we couldn’t find our server. Prices are high but the view will cost you. Food is good- once you get it.

    Mary, Thank you for your feedback. It is both welcomed and helpful. I am sorry you had such a difficult experience both Saturday night and in the past. This is not our standard and it is unfortunate and unacceptable that you would need to wait that long or look for your server. We have discussed this issue with the staff and will use this as a learning experience so that it will not happen again. We did fall short in your dining experience. I would like to invite you back to have you enjoy both the food, in a timely manner, the view that is really unbeatable, and give you that experience that you do deserve here when dining with us. Thank you again for providing your feedback, Jacqueline Dornick, Assistant General Manager

    This was our second dinner at Kingstide, and it did not disappoint. Their wine list isn’t lengthy, but offers plenty of options. Our appetizer (the burrata with tapenade) was delicious! My hubby went with the fried seafood platter (why not?!) and it was fabulous. I had the sailfish and it was sublime. We will be back soon!!!

    Kelly, Thank you so much for your 5-star review. I am so glad that you have had great experiences with us both times you have dined with us. The burrata is one of my personal favorites as well. The seafood platter is one of our newer additions to our menu, I am so glad you thought it was fabulous. We cannot wait for you to come back and visit us! Remember our weekly specials include half off select bottles of wine on Sunday, lobster rolls on Monday, and half off oysters on the half shell on Tuesdays! Thank you again for your feedback.

    Went here for our first wedding anniversary. The staff were very nice, food was delicious, and they even had surprises waiting on our table when we arrived and more during our meal. Highly recommend Kingstide for any special occasion.
