    It was a nice evening with my family who visited out of town. One had the lobster linguine. We all wished we ordered the same dish. Two of us ordered the Beef Cheek - it taste like pot roast. Drinks and mocktails were delish.

    Here’s my opinion for what it’s worth as a casual diner. Meat on ocean always delivers the best service and the food is phenomenal. Compliments to the chef and cooks who contribute to this dining experience. Your dedication shows in the flavors and presentation of the meals. The servers are just wonderful, sincere and attentive. Not to mention the drinks-if you imbibe- are exciting, delicious and well crafted. Wonderfully impressed. The location is perfect for ocean views. The art and decor is edgy but inspiring for the imagination and accurately appropriate for a steak house. The menu is concise with dining options so no room for second guessing what you ordered. We rave about this to everyone who asks. Thank you for providing the perfect experience for my mother’s 70th birthday & exceeding our expectations!
