Last week, Frank and I attended Orlando Weekly's 2026 Best of Orlando Award Ceremony! 🏆
It's always such an honor to be able to go and represent High Tide Harry's and receive recognition alongside all of the other amazing restaurants that the city has to offer.
To do it with Frank is very special to me as well. He's been with the company for 25 years and has always treated it as his own.
He started as a dishwasher, became kitchen manager, front of the house manager, assistant general manager, and now he's a managing partner!
Aside from business, he's always personally had my back as well. He was there to help me move, he stood beside me at my wedding, and I'm extremely grateful for his friendship.
We ran into our good buddy David Martin FOX 35 from our Central Florida Eats episode, congratulations to him and his first place finish for Best Local TV News Reporter!
We finished in the top 3 for 5 different categories:
• Best Seafood
• Best Wait Staff
• Best Wings
• Best Burger
• Best East Orlando Restaurant
A huge thank you to our team, both front and back, without the 60 people that put their heart and soul daily into the food we put out, none of this would even be possible.
We ended up placing 2nd for East Orlando Restaurant and 3rd for the other 4 categories! Congratulations to the other great restaurants and finalists that received recognition!
We'll be back to reclaim our top spot next year! 😉
There's a few award competitions every year and when we ask you to vote for us, you all always come through and show us a ton of love and support, it means so much to us.
Nothing changes from here, we're still looking to get better each and every day.
We're still the same family owned & operated restaurant since we opened back in 1995.
Some of you regulars have been dining with us since our old locations on 436 & 50 and OBT...
We just want to say thank you.
If you haven't dined with us before, we would love the opportunity to serve you.
If it's been a while, come back and SEA us! 🌊
