I was first turned on to High Tide by my Lady. She had been raving about this place for some time. However I was never able to get there since I live in North Scottsdale, she lives in Gilbert. I was able to catch a review of the restaurant on the PBS show Check Please Arizona. It was a strong review, so I made it a point to go.
Fast Forward a few weeks:
I started this adventure with the lobster mac-n-cheese appetizer, it was happy hour, which I shared with my lady. This thing was like a sea monster that Captain Nemo fought off, it was HUGE creamy and yummy. definitely a drop the mic dish. We couldn't finish it, so I took the rest home for diner the next day.
As my entree I ordered the Fish and Chips. I don't usually order fish and chips so this was a flying fish leap of faith in my ladies suggestion. For me the batter is mostly case much too heavy. However as always my lady was right on with the High Tide Fish-n-Chips, it was a decent serving size and the batter was light,airy and seasoned perfectly. I was stuffed at this point so I took the rest home.
This is a must try restaurant. Tell them Craig sent you, they don't know me but maybe the next time I go so many of you will have mentioned my name that they will give me a free appetizer.
