Stopped by Tate's on a Monday to catch happy hour. We really wanted to enjoy the beautiful weather, so we chose to sit outside and skip the specials.
The food was excellent. We shared a few appetizers and fish tacos, and everything was flavorful and well done. Just the right amount for two!
The plantains were a standout: crispy, sweet, and there were plenty. I even had enough to take home and enjoy later as a midnight snack. The crab cakes were tasty, though smaller than expected (three cakes) but still enjoyable.
The fish tacos were fantastic. The fish was super crispy and a nice surprise. Everything was seasoned really well, and the fries were hot and crisp, not an afterthought at all.
I had two different beers. Some of the taps were unavailable (it was a Monday after a holiday) but the selection was still solid. My friend had a spicy pineapple cocktail that she loved so much she ordered a second. Sweet, refreshing, and strong enough to keep things interesting.
The music they played was great, (2000s mix?) and the vibe outside was relaxed and welcoming. Our server was genuinely awesome with a great energy.
One of the coolest parts is the boat dock and we saw a few people actually pulled up by water to grab dinner.
Tate's is located right in Harbor Park, so after you eat, you can take a peaceful walk along the river. The whole setup makes it a perfect date night spot or a nice place to unwind with friends.
I'm already planning my next visit. I want to try the tuna nachos next, and honestly, based on how good everything was, I'd be happy to work my way through the entire menu.
