    My server was excellent! It was a very slow night around 4 people in the restaurant. The appetizers were ok, but the entree was hot on the top and cold on the bottom. I had the seafood manicotti. And I was so disappointed because I wanted to try this so bad. And the lobster was chewy. But my waitress was fantastic!

    We had a fabulous brunch outside looking at the ocean. Unfortunately, our waitress was horrible.

    I recently visited Ocean View Restaurant in Seaside Heights with high hopes for a delightful Sunday brunch experience, only to be met with profound disappointment and frustration. Promising carving stations, omelet stations, and a full menu, the restaurant's online advertisement on OpenTable had set our expectations soaring. However, upon arrival, our excitement quickly turned to disbelief as we found the restaurant eerily empty, with no need for reservations. Our dismay only deepened when we discovered that the promised brunch was nowhere to be found, and instead, we were presented with an a la carte menu. This glaring discrepancy between expectation and reality felt like a betrayal of trust--a classic case of false advertisement that left us feeling cheated. Despite this initial setback, we decided to give the restaurant a chance, primarily because we had already paid for parking in advance. Regrettably, the culinary experience did little to redeem the situation. The food, to put it bluntly, was mediocre at best. The potatoes arrived cold, the eggs were disappointingly runny, and the overall quality failed to live up to even modest expectations. Adding insult to injury, our interactions with the staff only served to exacerbate our frustration. Throughout the meal, our waiter was conspicuously absent, failing to return to our table for a quality check or to offer a refill of coffee--despite our clear need for one. The lack of attentiveness and basic courtesy left us feeling neglected and undervalued as customers. To cap off an already dismal experience, we found ourselves unable to even secure our bill, as attempts to flag down our waiter went unanswered. In the end, we were forced to take matters into our own hands and seek out assistance at the bar--a final indignity in an experience rife with disappointments. Our dissatisfaction was further underscored by the knowledge that we were not alone in our disappointment. Three other couples, like us, had arrived w

    Awful experience from the start. Waitress promptly came to the table with water & took out drink order. I ordered wine and my husband a gin & tonic. After a significant wait the drinks arrived and my husband immediately knew his was club soda and not tonic. After a wait the waitress returned and my husband explained. The waitress returned quite a bit later with a replacement drink…still club soda. At this point we suggested to the waitress that perhaps the tonic syrup was out. Again we waited for a replacement….and, club soda once again. At this point the waitress said to order something different because the bar tender won’t make the drink again. So after 30 minutes and 3 incorrectly made drinks my husband finally received a different type of drink. And, all of the drinks were served in plastic cups, come on, if we wanted plastic we could have gone to any of the other places on the boardwalk. As far as the food goes, we both ordered off the specials menu. No appetizers, just a main course for each of us. It took over an hour for the food to arrive! My husband ordered crab cakes that were ok. I ordered heart shaped ravioli in bolognese sauce. Why bother with heart shape ravioli if it is served in a lump in a bowl? If I didn’t look I never would have known. And they were all stuck together. We weren’t the only ones encountering problems with food quality and amount of time to receive it. This place needs someone to manage it!
