"First time to Riptides! The closest to Chester is for a saltwater feeling and taste riptides. They had live music that was pleasant, and outdoor seats. It is a very nicely furnished and well maintained restaurant. Our server was friendly and professional, but the main part was our Mojitos. They were too sweet and had hardly any alcohol in them. The prices indicated on the menu are reasonable, except the crab cake. My ahi tuna was well prepared, and the taste of the rub was beautifully treated. The Hush puppies were good, but served with a large amount of butter as a side that some like to enjoy, but seemed like overkill, as Hushpuppies usually have a slightly buttery taste already. Maybe another dive alternative could be better. The fried squid was light and crispy, and the marinara sauce was also savory. Riptides is a great place for seafood and music! Next time!"

I really enjoy this restaurantIt can be hard to get a table and can get a bit pricy so make a reservation if you can or come with enough time to wait.

Excellent food, service and precautions! Music Thursday-Saturday weather permit. Ahi tuna bites and mussels with Poblano cream sauce delicious! Our waitress was adorable... her name was Bee like Bumble Bee!

Our party of six was immediately and well visited by our waiter and many other servers. It is quite obvious that the staff work well here. Our food was delicious with generous portions. My shrimp taco bowl came out late, but they threw in a few extra shrimps. I can't wait to go back.

Riptides was great and I highly recommend it! They offer seafood with a southern turn. Our waitress was extremely polite and waiting for our food was short. We ordered the lobster ravioli with the house salad. Both were delicious and filled. We also ordered the crabs as an appetizer and were also very satisfied with them! My additions to the cook. I'm just coming back!

One of the finest Seafood restaurants in town. Don?t let the seafood title fool you, the steak and burger selections are surprisingly delicious. The crab bites are the most to have as starters and the SheCrab soups is to die for. This place is also kid friendly, kids menu that you can draw on with great kids food selections as well. Great restaurant with great services. Highly recommended!! View menu

Enjoyed a nice dinner here. Started with the calamari which was perfectly cooked nice and tender served with the delicious marinara. Also got a nice salad with my meal. Their blue cheese dressing is excellent. Order d fried seafood dinner and it was fried perfectly. Even though they're tartar sauce is not homemade it is very good and complimented the meal well. Also got a crab dip to go although there isn't a lot of dip it was still very tasty. I would come here again. The staff were excellent very very friendly and covid compliant.

This was my first visit as I've passed the location many times in my travels. Went to dinner with some dear friends. Atmosphere was nice, hostess friendly and our server too, however, you could tell they had a management change or adjustment by the newness of the staff details. Example, not bringing small plates to share appetizers for distribution. The food was simple, yet delicious, especially the scallops in my Linguine Pescatore. (See photo) I had a house salad and crab bites with a spicy remoulade which was divine! I used a little remoulade for my salad too on the side. With a little minor training for the detail overlooked, it could become a seafood lover's favorite local fare.

"Late last night a friend and I went to Pietro's for pizza , a place we've been going to for many years. I can only speak to their pizza, as it's the only item we've ever ordered but It's very good pizza. I grew up in NY and NY is known for it's pizza(some of the best in the USA) and Pietro's isn't quite up to that standard but it is great pizza. We always load ours up with 3different meats and last night it was loaded. They also allowed us to do half tomato sauce for me and half white/garlic saucefor my friend. He loved his but did feel it was a bit heavy on the garlic. If you love garlic, get their white sauce. He alsoordered a Cannoli which was heaven. I would normally give this place 5 stars, never had a bad meal there and the service isalways excellent. Our server was attentive and extremely nice, everyone there is. The problem is this place has decided toimplement a policy I've only encountered once before, of charging credit card customers more for their meal. I was a littlesurprised to see this on the check, it worked out to be about a 4% added charge to the bill. I had not seen this on the frontdoor or the menu, maybe it's there and I had not noticed, but it detracted from the entire experience. Carrying cash is becomingless and less popular and I know credit card companies are charging businesses enormous fees on their end, but some places justraise their prices, our meal was not cheap, so seeing another charge on top of the tax was a bit much. I don't agree with thispolicy, or in other eateries an automatic tip added . Eating out becomes more and more expensive and in the end it only meanspeople eat out less and less."
