Been here twice so far and both times were a good experience! The outdoor seating is mostly in the shade which is very nice even when it's hot. This place can get very busy and I can see why. The food is very flavorful! The chef does excellent work. We got there around 5-530 and we had a short wait, but on the weekend day, a lot of people came behind us. Indoor seating is always available but there is usually a wait for the outdoor seating. The views and atmosphere is fantastic so I can see why it is so popular. Sometimes the service seemed slow but we didn't mind at all, we loved sitting out there and it was very busy. Despite how busy they were, our servers were always friendly and attentive to our food and drinks. The place is on the pricey side but it's a very nice occasion place or to take visiting friends or family out.

Hey, it's your girl!!!! It was 84° today, and I decided to take my mom n son to Tate's. It was really good. The view was awesome. Nice cool breeze by the water. Not too crowded, seated on the patio. The server was friendly and attentive. The purple 🍹 is Rafiki's Tiki (mocktail version) soooooo good. We also had fish n chips, buffalo chicken egg rolls, kids burger n fries, and tinga chicken tacos (not a fan of that). Overall, I'm coming back with somebody's son, lol. Until next time!!!😘 **Update: I didn't eat much of the tacos. I only took one bite, and the manager took the tacos off my bill. Yall are dope, ty.** 😃 Happy Customer

Today I visited the Ice Cream window. Sat outside on a park bench and watched the river, large white "Harrons" walking the "surf" line on the other side of the river, some other large birds swimming and diving in the middle. Oh yeah, the ice cream was good, a fun little treat. Obviously you don't come to a place like this for value in your purchase. Large cup (coffee) 3 scoops, $8.05, change went in the tip cup for a $10 cup of ice cream.(waffle cone 2 scoops, same price) It's later on a Sunday afternoon, so there wasn't any waiting

A fun venue on the water with great food! We got the fried green tomatoes, sweet & spicy plumaki bowl, and lemon ricotta rigatoni (added chicken). Everything was delicious, drinks included. We went on a Friday night without a reservation, and were sat within 5 minutes of arriving. We sat inside, but there was live music outside and we walked around a little by the water after dinner. Highly recommend!

We visited Tate’s twice—first on Friday, October 4th, just before sunset. It was our first time, and we had such a lovely evening as a family. I’ve included some photos from both visits so you can see how much we were enjoying ourselves. The waterfront setting was beautiful, especially with the view of the bridge. I loved the red sangria, the food was okay overall, and my daughter had fun with her burger and ice cream. The following Friday, we decided to go back. The weather was cooler but still nice. I ordered the shrimp plate with white sangria, and my husband was happy with his salad. My daughter got another burger and ice cream—she’s only 3 and absolutely obsessed with ice cream. Unfortunately, something truly upsetting happened this time. I went to take just one spoonful of her ice cream and felt something disgusting in my mouth. When I looked, it was what appeared to be someone’s chewed fingernail. I was completely shocked and sickened. We didn’t say anything to the staff at the moment and just quietly left, but it left me very disappointed and honestly still upset. We really wanted to like this place—our photos show how much we were starting to make it a little tradition—but after what happened, we haven’t been able to go back. I hope the restaurant takes this kind of thing seriously. Food hygiene should never be overlooked

We rented their event space for my baby shower. The space was beautiful, open, and well decorated, overlooking the CT river. Briana was so responsive with planning everything and answering questions or making changes. The day went so smoothly thanks to her and the other staff. We got the brunch package and the food was delicious, the parfait bar and cupcakes were a hit with all the guests.

I visited this restaurant last week and had an incredible experience. The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. I especially enjoyed the view😍 I originally wanted to sit outside, but there was a 30 mins wait, so I ended up at a high-top table inside, which was still nice and comfortable. I ordered the lime pasta, chicken tacos, and the seafood basket which included fried scallops and white fish. Everything was cooked perfectly. The fries were crispy and seasoned just right, and the coleslaw and tartar sauce were next level— so fresh!! Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for great food and a relaxing vibe.🌸

While waiting for our table, the phone rang at the hostess kiosk, and the hostess watched the phone as it rang approximately 5 times before she picked it up, which was very very strange to me. Our food was good, but we were upset to find out that we couldn't order off the regular menu until after 3 PM. It was 2:30 when we got there and we were hungry so we settled for the brunch menu. We each got a lobster roll, and it was great! Unfortunately our server was less than attentive and didn't check on us at all, which is rather unusual in my experience. I was also sat under an air conditioning vent so I was very very cold for the duration of my meal. For the price we paid, I'd expect better service if I'm being honest.
