I understand there's not exactly an abundance of seafood options in Arizona but the fact that there was an hour wait for this place is still making me laugh a week later.
There was some good here but there are some terrible flaws. For one, the "bar" is actually part of the kitchen so nearly all of the seats need to be served by waiters, not bartenders. That sounds fine but in reality you're looking over your shoulder constantly trying to get a drink or order. I figured that'd be better than waiting for a typical table but I soon learned you wait either way. After about 10 minutes of waiting we were able to place an order for an appetizer and some drinks. 20 minutes later the appetizer came and, though we were ready to order, we were not given that opportunity. Also, still no drinks. The food was ok...$3 an oyster but fine. About 20 more minutes went by before anyone finally came around. Instead of ordering, we just got the check. I didn't feel like spending 4 hours on dinner. When the check came, it included the drinks and the server seemed confused that we never received them. I was confused why there still was a line at the door.
The Chinese place next door ended up seating us and feeding us quickly. If your meal is spoiled at High Tide, they'll take care of you!
