Did you know that The Kingstide is Daniel Island’s only waterfront restaurant?
The Kingstide is located in a beautiful two-story building that sits along the Wando River. It has two sprawling porches and picturesque views from multiple directions.
I’d recommend taking the Daniel Island Ferry over for a night out under the stars!
The Kingstide is beautiful on the inside too!
The interior of the Kingstide Daniel Island is light-filled with large windows to capture the views. It is decorated beautifully in an understated nautical style and feels warm and inviting. Even the tile in the restroom is thoughtfully planned. (Be sure and check it out.)
As pretty as it is, the outside porches are my choice for dining. I have always loved eating outside, and you'll love the views of the water.
Oh, and the Kingstide's food is good too!
The Kingstide specializes in seafood and offers some delicious raw or wood-fired seafood options. The chefs use fresh and local ingredients, focusing on what’s in season. They have a few other dishes for the non-seafood eater as well.
Start with hushpuppies with sorghum butter. My grandmother used to make it, and now I wished I'd asked more questions about her method. It's delicious mixed with the butter and served with their hot hushpuppies.
Looking for a hearty but inexpensive choice? Try the chowder.
I could make a meal out of the Kingstide Daniel Island's Lowcountry chowder. It's made with clams, bacon, and potatoes and is SO flavorful. It’s warm, filling, and great for a cool night!
The fish slider appetizers on Hawaiian rolls are unusual and unexpectedly delicious.
The Kingstide Daniel Island's grilled peaches are divine!
You'll love the grilled peaches, which they offer seasonally. I'd also recommend the wood-fired carrots. I’m not sure what they do to them, but they might be the best carrots I’ve ever eaten.
Finish off your meal with the Kingstide Crunch Bar, made with nutella, chocolate, and corn flakes and topped with hazelnut ice cream.
