Tide Table

Seafood on Charleston Harbor

A quiet table by the water

Tide Table cooks whatever the boats brought in that morning. Oysters on ice, grilled fish, and a room that looks out on the harbor.

Tuesday through Sunday, from 5pm

A table for two on the harbor dock at dusk

A seafood dinner without the noise

  • Fish bought the morning you eat it
  • Oysters opened to order
  • A dining room with the harbor in the windows
  • A tasting menu that changes with the boats
  • Tables held with a small deposit, applied to your check
“We cook the catch. You take the table by the water.”

Questions

How do reservations work?

A $25 deposit holds the table. It comes off your check the night you dine. You choose a date and time at checkout.

Do you take walk-ins?

A few seats at the bar are held for walk-ins after 5:30. The dining room is reservation-first.

What about the tasting menu?

Seven courses, $145 per person. Purchase holds your place at the chef’s counter. Tell us about allergies when you book.

Is there a dress code?

Come as you are. Most people dress for dinner, not for a nightclub.

Can I buy a gift card?

Yes. A $100 gift card works on dinner, oysters, or the tasting menu.
