    The service was amazing with the perfect ambiance for my anniversary! A perfect medium rare on my steak and my wife’s sword fish was super juicy and flavorful.

    I had a great experience at 21 ocean front, my only concern is too noisy, but it's nothing to be done by the restaurant. I just thought that with this kind of ambiance, everyone voice would be lower

    21 Oceanfront has been on my list of "must-see:" for years, and it did not disappoint. I am only disappointed in myself for not coming in here sooner. The location, the service, the staff, the food, the view, just all absolutely top notch. I can't wait until Oyster season. We'll be back!!

    I loved the restuarant. I sat in the bar area and the guitar player played my entire dinner.?I had the grilled salmon and pear salad which was perfect. Rachael the waitress did a great job and the timing of my meal was great. I finished the night with Tony S the bartender which made a perfect Espresso martini.I was so pleased either this Restuarant

    The view is spectacular, unfortunately service was horrible for the prices and the amount we spent one of the least attentive service. Because it’s all carpet, there is a lingering smell… but not a deal breaker. The food is pretty good unfortunately we wouldn’t come back due to the service.
