In August 2005, Bryan and Vickie Coffman founded High Tides on the Potomac with the intention of providing a distinctive experience for friends and family to indulge in Southern Maryland style cuisine while enjoying live music. After scouting several locations, they finally found the ideal spot in Colonial Beach, Virginia, featuring immaculate views of the Potomac River. With the help of many good people, the family-owned restaurant was custom-built to perfection, setting them up for a successful venture.
