My husband and I went to Tides tonite for the first time. I had the shrimp scampi and linguini and my husband had the fish and chips. Both were very good. My only complaint was that after we ordered, we noticed that every other table had a basket of bread on it. We waited and waited, but never got one. When the server finally brought our food I asked her why never got our bread basket. She replied that you have to ask for it. She told us that she used to offer bread to the diners, but got yelled at by the management for doing that! I asked her how were we supposed to know that we had to "special order" bread since it was our first time there. I asked her if aomewhere on the menu it said "bread by special request only" and she said no. She finally said "do you want some bread?". We said we did. The bread finally came when our dinner plates were empty!
What is the thinking behind the bread basket? Trying to save a few pennies, GVR??
I urge everyone that goes there to ask for a bread basket whether you want it or not!
