OUR STORY
A love for the region’s tasty food, wine, and each other is the backdrop to Niagara’s only Oyster House.
In spring of 2012, Mike Langley and Kat Steeves turned their vision into reality with the purchase of a 1974 Volkswagen camper van, affectionately named “Pearl.” From this modest beginning, they traveled across Niagara, shucking oysters and creating memorable food experiences that would weave them into the heart of the region’s vibrant culinary and hospitality scene.
Mike, a Niagara Falls native, brings a wealth of experience shaped by world travel and an eclectic work history. As the 2023 Canadian Oyster Shucking Champion and a Team World Record holder, he’s always ready to entertain with tales of his shucking adventures.
Kat, originally from Moncton, New Brunswick, embodies the warmth and hospitality of the East Coast. Her love for Maritime flavors and ingredients inspires every corner of Tide & Vine.
What started as a one-of-a-kind “Shuck Truck” has since grown into Tide & Vine - a celebrated 130-seat restaurant, catering business, wholesale operation, and chef-driven Fish Market. Each facet reflects their dedication to connecting people through exceptional food and unforgettable experiences.
