The Tides restaurant in Portrush has a terrific location and implausible meals… simply give the tagliatelle a miss
I feel it’s truthful sufficient to say that there are few better-positioned eating places in Northern Eire than The Tides in Portrush.
If you’re fortunate sufficient to get a desk upstairs on the again, beside the outside seating space, then the views of the shoreline are merely breathtaking.
We had booked our Saturday-night go to a couple of weeks prematurely as we knew it was more likely to be busy on the weekend.
On arrival, the fashionable and ethereal restaurant was certainly jam-packed with prospects, and after a short wait downstairs we have been proven to our desk by a super-friendly younger member of employees.
The Tides has fairly a big menu masking the entire fundamentals and some extra adventurous dishes too.
What actually makes it stand out for me although it simply how good-value it’s.
With two programs for the value of a fundamental, you may select from both a starter and a fundamental or have a fundamental and a dessert.

Should you can’t handle two programs you may get a glass of wine, chosen beer or a comfortable drink as an alternative. That’s undoubtedly an excellent supply in these tough monetary occasions.
We opted for 3 starters: a really tasty Caesar salad, a reasonably fundamental prawn cocktail and the notably good Tides nachos.
The nachos went down a deal with with my eight-year old-son Noah, however when the chilli kick began to hit we started to marvel the place the jug of diluted orange was that we had ordered 10 minutes earlier.
I reminded two totally different ready employees that we had requested for the orange, however because it didn’t arrive after one other 5 minutes and I might see it sitting on the bar, I simply walked up myself and bought a barman to deliver it down.
With Noah’s melting tongue disaster averted, we sat patiently having fun with the views and ready for our mains.
Sadly, once they did nobody had taken the starter plates and bowls away, so all of us pitched in to assist clear the desk, cementing my spouse’s opinion that if the journalism doesn’t work out I can all the time get a job as a waiter.
My mother-in-law’s roasted salmon with a maple and whiskey glaze was first-class and packed stuffed with flavour, whereas my Tides burger with crispy onions, child gem lettuce, tomato and bitter cream was moist and scrumptious.
The third fundamental of smoked tomato and garlic seafood tagliatelle was very disappointing.

There was a slightly restricted provide of the promised salmon, cod and prawns and the pasta was badly overcooked.
My son’s chilli rooster penne pasta was a lot better as compared, and my spouse ended up consuming his leftovers and leaving the flavourless tagliatelle within the bowl.
On a constructive word, the sticky toffee pudding with ice cream and lemon cheesecake we ordered to complete our meals have been each excellent.
As I discussed earlier than. The Tides is nice worth for cash for households and I can’t complain an excessive amount of concerning the service as all of the employees have been all very pleasant regardless of being extremely busy.
Should you do go I’d in all probability give the tagliatelle a miss although.
