Tidal

Craft and catch converge at Tidal, perched where land meets sea on the shores of Mission Bay. Anchored by deep Mediterranean influences, Tidal presents modern, light adaptations of traditional seafood dishes such as olive oil poached halibut, ricotta gnudi and chicken confit. A carefully culled compilation of domestic cheeses are designed to bookend any meal.

Keeping in even keel with the kitchen, the bar offers an impressive collection of boutique wine, San Diego craft beers and mixed drinks. Other beverage selections include gourmet press coffee, prepared tableside, and tea from California purveyors.

Uncomplicated. Laid-back. Tidal is both in food and furnishings. Set in what was a private beach house in the 60s, Tidal’s mid-century modern design draws from the era it was built by Hollywood producer Jack Skirball. A fire pit-dotted deck, communal tables, cozy lounge and savory menu of shared plates beckon casual group gatherings and lively conversation — though the 180° views of Mission Bay might just leave you at a loss for words.
