Beautiful night to watch the sunset while enjoying dinner and drinks! Our server David was excellent. Very professional, kind and attentive to our table as well as others he was tending too. I had the lobster roll which was full of fresh lobster and my wife had salmon. The bread was an up charge but so worth it. Crispy and delicious. Drinks were amazing and the sunset was spectacular. Below us was a private party with a live band so we got to listen to Jimmy Buffet Margarita music and a variety of songs. Perfect night at Ocean restaurant. .

First time trying out this gem of a restaurant by the beach. Glad the sun came out it made it more beautiful outside while eating dinner.Food was delicious! We had the baked clams, rice ball with tuna and also an order of loaf bread with a delicious butter spread. My entrée was Jumbo shrimp with risoto so good if you like the seafood taste. Another entrée was a poke bowl fresh tuna, lobster, salmon, kani salad and rich topped with fresh mango and spicy mayo sauce delicious! Last entrée was the grilled chicken with mashed potatoes and string beans also delicious and light.. No dessert was ordered we were all too full lol but im sure it would of been amazing as well... There is also a sushi menu as well.. There is variety of meals and apps you can choose from.. I believe the lunch menu is different from the dinner menu so definitely look online before you choose a time.. Atmosphere was nice there was a wedding going on while we were there so beautiful. I would definitely recommend to sit outside to see the beach and sunrise.

Loved the sunset vibe and view! The food was pretty average .nothing wow, but also nothing to complain about. Service wasn’t nearly as bad as some reviews say. You can park yourself, which is a plus. Great spot for a small friends’ gathering. We were a group of 8, and there’s a 20% service charge.

View is fantastic. Food is average. Lobster roll and seafood pasta were okay. Clam chowder was meh. The strawberry shortbread was too sweet for us. Service is somehow lacking. We did not get spoons for the soup and the dessert, until we asked for it. Also, we found out on the site that even if you make a reservation for outdoor seats, it’s not guaranteed. Nevertheless, it’s still worth going for the views.

First time here and probably won’t return but not because I had terrible service but for the price, and the size of quantity of food don’t match. Taste was yummy but nothing spectacular, loved the ambiance and views from the outdoor patio. It was me and the wifey and kids and nanny. Enjoy a NY Strip Steak, Grilled Chicken, Sea Food Endeavor that carries Clams,Shrimp,Oysters, and Lobster. Valet and Waiter service was super great, nice and attentive. We were able to leave the car with valet and walk over about 3 driveways and end up at a beach with a swing set for the kids to enjoy; I thought that was really neat. No extra charge, you just don’t take your car and walk 5min to get the the playground. We had ice cream and a type of cheese cake that was very delicious at the restaurant almost forgot to mention that. $400-460 spent in one afternoon.

Our server was great, food was not as bad as some have mentioned here, view was amazing. The dude at reception is weird though, does he own the place or something?

Visited this restaurant for its stunning views, but the food and service were a letdown. The oysters were dry and small, and while the seafood pasta was good, the chicken was overcooked and the salmon's sides not fresh. Service was hard to find, and the high prices didn't match the food quality. Great for a romantic date night for the scenery, but not ideal for family gatherings. Worth a visit for the view, but manage your culinary expectations.

Went for dinner on Tuesday August 19th at 730p. Hostess was able to seat us promptly on the outer deck which faces west. We had a table right on the rail and it was lovely. Although we needed to ask to have a server come visit our table after 5 minutes of not being visited we were happy with the service after that. This was especially true when the downstairs wedding party was smoking underneath our table during dinner service. We spoke to our server and she promised to see what she could do to resolve the issue. She came back a few minutes later and the situation was much improved. For the record we were not the only table disturbed by the smell of cigarette smoke, although it reminded me of eating out in the 80s. Duck tacos were good but had too much bbq sauce for our liking. They honestly could have served us shredded chicken thighs and we would not be able to discern between the two. Ocean salad was refreshing but could have used more acid to balance the beets. The grilled chicken was not memorable. The lobster was the saving grace and was exquisite. A quality item with minimal mayo, claw meat on full display. When we go back we will definitely have the Ocean pasta. I recommend this destination for a lovely date night.

My mom and I visited on Wednesday. The atmosphere was great and the view was amazing. We had Arianna as our server and she was great. She was attentive but not overbearing, and she recommended wonderful items from the menu. If I had to rate the drinks they were 10/10 and the food is 8 out of 10. I would definitely go back.

Ocean is an absolutely beautiful venue alone. The peaceful sound of the crashing waves outside sets the mood for the rest of the service. It’s stunning and feels like something away from home, truly. Entering, my husband and I weren’t greeted by staff, which I noticed they did for others who were ahead of us. We stood around awkwardly for a while before someone finally took notice of us and offered a table. We were handed the menus quickly, but again, it took some time before we had our choice of water offered. With the initial hiccups out of the way with service, the food was phenomenal! We had the calamari (which was so tender and delicious that I didn’t snap a photo!) and our entrees afterwards were just as good. My husband had the catch of the day, which was fresh and beautifully cooked and I had the seafood pasta. Just as fresh and the sauce was fantastic! We were too full to try dessert, but other tables around us had ordered and the options looked amazing! I would absolutely recommend Ocean for a date night or something special for an out of town friend. It’s worth it!

I've been a customer since the venue became Ocean years ago. Hadn't visited for almost 10 years. Experience was consistent with what I remembered. The food is pretty good. We ordered a meatball and a crab cake appetizer. They were both tasty. The delicate sauce accompanying the meatball was really good. The crab cake was flavorful, the breadcrumb coating crispy without being greasy. Our hot lobster roll and ribeye steak were both "good." Kids burger and fries looked appetizing. Service was good. Called in advance and asked if there was immediate seating outdoors for three. The person I talked to said yes. When we arrived we wanted to park our own car but both sides of the lot were closed and we had to use the valet. They said they were expecting to be busy. There was no one at the restaurant greeter desk when we arrived. Two team members quickly came. The restaurant was pretty empty. They asked if we had a reservation. We weren't sure how it was going to go from there. I said We had just called and had been told we can sit outside with no wait. It was not a problem and we were seated outside on the third floor where the other customers were seated. Everything was smooth from that point. Such a beautiful location on the beach. Location has always been one of the best kept secrets in my opinion. They also had live entertainment outside while we were there. We enjoyed the music. I remember the live music years ago during indoor dinner on the second floor too. It has always been a nice touch. I can't remember if it existed years back too, but there was now a disclaimer on the bottom of the menu that says something along the lines of that groups of 4 or less can only have a table for 90 minutes. I don't know how long we were at our table, but it wasn't an issue for us during our visit.

Although located on the beach, had no access to it. Pretty view from upstairs but the sun beaming right on us made it way too hot and uncomfortable. Food was just ok. Lobster roll just ok. Ocean pasta same. Oysters had to send back. Extremely small and weren’t shucked. Calamari good but portions too small.

The atmosphere is very pleasant, but if you don't keep consuming, don't think you'll be able to stay longer, enjoying the atmosphere and considering ordering more, as they'll compulsively ask you if you're going to order anything else and bring you the bill without asking. The prices are quite high considering the amount of food. They easily charge $45 for a roll with six small pieces of lobster.

Came on a sunday afternoon for lunch. The atmosphere is great, and the outdoor seats allow for good views of the ocean, although guests are prohibited from going to the beach area. The food was alright. The crab cakes and duck tacos were good appetizers. The $10 bread was alright, but nothing special. The squid calamari was very dry, and all the squid meat was shriveled and chewy. For entrees, the noodles of the ocean pasta were a little overcooked and mushy, although the sauce was pretty good. The halibut fish was fine, but the asparagus on the bottom was overcooked and mushy. The veal chop lacked salt and was overall underwhelming for its 65 dollar price tag. The lobster in the lobster roll didn't taste fresh, and some of the salt and vinegar chips weren't even fully cooked, they were still soft. They also didn't have any vinegar flavor.

Agreed that what you pay for is the view. Unfortunately the food and service will disappoint. Ordered drinks to start but one was missing ( cuz they had to “ look for more cucumber) Some dinner items came while others were severely delayed . When we inquired where are food was we were told there was a “ new chef” Meat ordered medium came out over cooked. Sushi is probably your best bet. You will pay a lot of money for a nice view but unfortunately the rest of your experience will be disappointing. Bella our waitress was very sweet but will definitely not go back !

I wont ever go back to this restaurant. Here is why…. I dont typically write reviews, but after my frustration last night I have to share. I was starving and ordered the lobster roll which I saw online, looked delicious and plenty of lobster. When I was served my lobster roll, I was in complete shock and so were the other two friends who ordered it as well. To pay $45 for a this amount of lobster is absurd. I hope this place understand what a disgrace this is. There service was very slow as well and didnt feel like they appreciate their customers. Absolute disgrace. a hard time giving this a 1 star and the only reason I did is because of

Yesterday evening was my fourth time visiting Ocean and it will most definitely be my last! The three prior times all went perfectly fine. Two bar occasions and now two dinner occasions, but last nights was for my dear friend’s birthday; of which, was her actual, birthday. Naturally, we go for the water views and overall ambience each time and yesterday’s was picture perfect as always, but everything else about the entire experience was an atrocity. From the unbelievably poor service, to the subpar food at best and weakest cocktails I have ever had in my life in a fine-dining establishment; it was an absolute disaster from start to finish. The hostess was welcoming and friendly and our waiter was truly a nice person, but all of the other moving parts just wreaked havoc on our entire experience. I try to go above and beyond to prevent myself from getting a manager involved, but my friend whose birthday it was; was truly upset by all of the above and it tarnished that part of her celebratory mood. And so she wound up addressing it with a manager while I tried to sort it out with our waiter, etc. From the long piece of black hair on our rainbow sushi roll when it was initially brought out, stale/overcooked edamame, overcooked/under seasoned lobster roll (Montauk style), cocktails that didn’t come out until after we had already finished our appetizers, stale/tasteless homemade potato chips (side of lobster roll) and not even having gotten proper cutlery to use to deconstruct our lobster dinner until it took both addressing and complaining about; we decided to actually leave without even having dessert. I brought an entire cake of my own for my friend’s birthday and requested it be brought out with candles and then cut for us, but even that was a nightmare in it and of itself because they misplaced the cake! Despite having requested it back; someone, (NOT OUR WAITER); still decided to put the candles in the cake and attempt to bring it to the table. Thankfully, our waiter stopped it before that took the already negative experience over the edge. Finally, the worst part of the experience was dealing with the manager because he did little to nothing to correct the situation. For example, because we hadn’t had our club sodas refilled once by anyone the entire time we were at the restaurant; he brought us complimentary club soda’s and literally stated that “Those are on us.” CLUB SODAS!? I was in disbelief and needed to leave the restaurant before anything else left me entirely shocked. Upon getting our bill from our waiter; he did profusely apologize and we let him know that it wasn’t 100% his fault and we actually complimented how nice, etc. he was when speaking to the manager about our overall issues. Additionally, they removed $50.00 from our bill as a courtesy without us even having to ask because they obviously knew how poor of an overall experience they had provided us. Mind you, our final bill was still over $400.00+ for two people, but I digress. I don’t know if they’re under new ownership, management, food staff, etc. but the experience has gone down hill since my last dinner outing there. And so, I will, NEVER, be returning.

You definitely pay for the view and not so much for the food. It's a really nice location, especially during the summer. Food was mid, and service was good. Wait staff were nice but the host and the manager were rude and obnoxious. I would've given it a 3-star review simply for the location but the manager made our experience much worse. The whole restaurant was empty for our 5.30 reservation. We were seated in the back corner. When asked if we could sit at a table near the water, he responded by saying those tables are for regular customers -- there is definitely a better way to say it if that was even true to begin with. By the time we left, 80% of those tables were still empty. Dude looked half drunk and I'm really shocked they have a person like that running a restaurant that is supposed to be somewhat upscale. Never going back

I recently visited Ocean with my wife last Saturday, and I’m afraid the experience was far from enjoyable. Although the location boasts a stunning view of the sea, the rest of our visit was a major letdown. To start, the drinks were fantastic well-made and refreshing, which set some initial expectations. Unfortunately, the food was a complete disappointment. It lacked any flavor and was incredibly bland. To make matters worse, the prices were outrageously high for such subpar dishes. We faced an unnecessarily long wait for our food. After waiting 15 minutes just for the menu, we were told to wait even longer for our meals to arrive. When the food finally did arrive, it wasn’t worth the wait, and definitely not worth the price. What followed was even more upsetting. As soon as we finished, the waitstaff was very rude. They quickly came to clear the table and presented us with the bill without any regard for our comfort or satisfaction. When I politely asked the waitress why she was being so abrupt, her response was blunt: she "needed the table now." The restaurant was nearly empty, and no other customers were waiting for seats, so this response felt completely out of place. I then approached the manager to express my concerns, hoping for a resolution. Instead, I was met with an astonishingly rude response from a man wearing a cheap Invicta flashy watch. He claimed that the menu stated we were only entitled to the table for 90 minutes, something we had not been informed of at any point during our visit. This explanation was utterly unprofessional and unnecessary. In all my years dining out, I’ve never been treated this way. It felt as if the managers simply wanted to rush us out of the door, with no care for providing a pleasant dining experience. My wife and I were both taken aback, but I refrained from escalating the situation out of respect for her and to avoid making a scene. Sadly, I will not be returning to this restaurant, and I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a genuinely enjoyable dining experience.
