    Our service person (I’m pretty sure her name was Shannon) was the best eVer. I felt like I knew her forever. She was fun and efficient and you are lucky to have her..

    Had a really nice time at Ocean Grill. The food was good, but needs to be served nice & hot, we had the beet salad & the lettuce was a little wilty I’m sure it was fresh a few days ago. We always try and make a reservation when in town, sorry to see that they are not serving pizza anymore it was one of the best in town.

    Have note had a bad meal here. Three dishes we recommend are the salmon piccata, seafood pappardelle and the seafood stew. Also the wait staff, in our case Shannon, we’re warm, welcoming and attentive.

    My first Time booking and when we arrived at the place looked very outdated and not very clean, we were like oh well let’s give it try. We ordered fish Taco, Cesar Salad Wine and beer, also I asked for Bread. Bred was stale with green mold all over it, nasty I informed our server that this really bad,, after that I was little not sure if the food is fresh. Still we stayed and I received my salad , again the lettuce were old was the most horrible salad I ever had in my life, my husband fish taco was bad, the tortillas was not even cooked Cold and nasty, We paid $90 and left and will never ever go back . Nasty 🤮

    The service rating does not reflect on our server that evening, she was very nice and very apologetic that our food was delayed. The review is mainly for the general manager/ owner of the establishment to reevaluate staffing, especially your kitchen staff. More than 1hr wait time for food and kids food came last. It’s unfortunate because my MIL really enjoyed your restaurant on her last visit.
