Ocean Bistro

Great atmosphere, food and our server maribel was amazing. 100% recommended

Fabulous place for lunch, service was outstanding and nothing too difficult.

Went here because we were starving, ended up having such a great meal and service. Maribel was so nice and helpful. I had the fish and it was great. Not that pricey for the area. You spend about 50 - 60 usd per person. The views are so good and the inside of the hotel, gorgeous.

Ocean Bistro was amazing! First time here and it is now one of my South Beach favorites. The food was so good—fresh, flavorful, and just really well done. And the service from Abel? Outstanding. Super friendly and attentive. I love a great restaurant with good energy, and this was so great. Can’t wait to come back next time I’m in the area!

Super love this place!!!!!! I love how vintage and elegant of this place! The best part is the decoration inside the restaurant! They have downstairs area too! If you come to this restaurant don’t only stay outside! Inside is actually so beautiful!!!!

Had a blast time enjoying lunch at Ocean Bistro! Everything was good and service as well! It was a pretty hot day and the AC inside was on and very cold so we ate lunch outside which wasn't bad at all, the view is cute and beachy

Came here for lunch before my flight and it was amazing. The staff were friendly and the food was delicious. I got the oysters and surf and turf.

Excellent restaurant with cozy exterior seating section. Great people watching but also romantic. Service was attentive and the prices are very reasonable for the area.

The atmosphere was magnificent with the big chandelier hanging down. The food was incredible. It was the best margarita pizza I’ve ever had in the United States.

My girlfriend and I came here on vacation, and after visiting more than 3–4 different places, we did not expect to find such a true gem of the coast. I can say with confidence that both the food and the service are of the highest level. If you are looking for outstanding service and incredibly delicious food, this is the place to visit.

Lovely food. Great staff. A great night out. Our waitress Marivel was wonderful. They could not do enough do make it an enjoyable evening

The food is very good and there’s a very good variety of things to try. They even have soups. My wife had the seafood soup and I had the Gnocchi with shrimp. Both were very good. Combined with the excellent service we will definitely come back.

Ocean Bistro is located at the Cavalier Hotel South Beach on Ocean Drive. I wasn't staying at the hotel but stopped for a drink and a bite to eat. The outdoor patio is lovely to relax and enjoy the setting. A little quieter than a lot of other places along Ocean Drive. I had a glass of white wine and half a dozen oysters. Very nice. My small negative was the accompaniment of saltine crackers that tasted stale. Other than that, I would recommend. Staff were pleasant and friendly. Good service.

Food was good, especially the meatball pasta and the guacamole. The chips and rings were a little stale but not bad. Regarding the service, they were pretty nice.

Sat and waited forever for our waiter. He was busy looking at the girls outside with friends. Eggs were dried out potatoes were ok. Worst toast I’ve ever had. Bacon was delicious. They charge a 20% gratuity automatically.

The octopus was very tough. The seafood in the paella was a bit less. Tiramisu should have freshly prepared, but we could not order it, because "it was finished". My husband dropped the knife on the ground and a new one was not brought, the attention was poor, yet 20% service fee was charged. The starter was a complete disgrace, the main course was average. The price is too much for these conditions. We were not satisfied.

I do not recommend going here!! I just went this past Sunday and from the first moment we had a problem with them. There was a fly in my cocktail and they had to make a new one, also the drink was way too strong and they put more alcohol than anything else. The appetizers were way too small (especially the grilled octopus) and too overpriced. The paella we got for main course was lacking flavor and was just alright. The service was not good either and was very slow for not having that many people that night. We asked the waitress that we needed new silverware for our main course and then she weirdly had us pick it out from a container from the kitchen instead of her just giving it to us herself. Very strange move. They also forced a 20% gratuity on our bill while we wanted to tip our own way (given the service and food was terrible). Please do not listen to any of these reviews, I would just go elsewhere.
