Amazing night out at Ocean with friends. We tried the Bayville express, jalapeño margarita, and Lychee rose to start, so so good. Food was tasty. Thanks Mel and staff for a great evening.

Food was fine. We were seated outdoors while it was raining and not under an umbrella. We were told “it’s raining what can ya do”. We were also seated next to a group of 16 yr old girls who were extremely loud and vulgar. Wait staff came around everyone 25 min maybe. I suppose it would have been better with no rain or vulgar high school students. But both situations were handled extremely poorly.

the ambiance was terrific. We lost our waitress for a bit and waited a little too long to order. The clam chowder was warm at best and should have been hotter. The food was ok at best however nothing worse than biting into a clamshell fragment in the seafood pasta. Wine and desert were excellent.

Beautiful waterfront restaurant food and drinks was good kinda pricey but that’s ok, I was very disappointed with my server when he bring the check there was 2 items that we didn’t order, when I told him about it he quickly took the bill and returned with the correct amount without apologizing that was a mistake I feel if u don’t check ur bill properly they get away with it.

It was first time for us as a family to go to ocean we like the view,it was a bit sunny since we choose to sit outside “open air” in the beginning it was a bit hard waiting on the entrance question and then we had to meet 3 people from the stuff to be seated,the stuff was nice,food and ambiance was cool Thanks

My wife and I LOVEEEEE this place!! Especially now with the warm weather!! The food, drink and ambience is PERFECT!! You have a view of the beach and the scenery is just beautiful! We ordered the calamari and mussels for app~ DELISH!! Our meals were (we went with another couple) Ocean Pasta, the fish of the day~ snapper and New York Strip Steak~ AMAZEEEE! We were super full but could not deny dessert it looked too good~ so we got Bread Pudding Bites (A MUST!) and the Warm Brownie~~ DELISH!! Of course this was all in addition to my wife’s lychee martinis and some Johnny Walker Blue! If you are looking for delish food and great ambience~ you def must go! The staff and GM Mel are always super friendly and super attentive!

The wait staff tried their best and hopefully they are able to hire additional staff for the summer season, especially for the kitchen, who took over an hour to even start to cook our food (this occurred with at least one other table too). Customer service skills are non-existent when it comes to the management who asked “was it worth the wait?” after we finally received our food (It was not.) One redeeming point is the view at sunset is amazing!

My husband and I came to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary, we got married at this exact location 5 years ago. When we arrived, the service was great, we did receive complimentary champagne which was very sweet. The prices are very high for the portion sizes, but I do understand that you are paying for the environment and view in certain places like this. ($28 for TWO TINY lobster sliders definitely wasn’t worth it.). Our waitress Anrita was amazing, very attentive and sweet and actually made our experience so great. The big downside of our experience was we received a dessert that we didn’t choose nor ask for, for our anniversary and were then charged $15 for it. We go to restaurants for special occasions all the time, and considering this is where we spent close to 70k for our wedding, we thought it would be complimentary. If it wasn’t, which is totally okay, we at least would want to choose what we want since we are paying for it. Neither of us would have chosen what we were given, and thought it was ridiculous to be charged for it. So just be aware if you do say it’s for special occasion, you will be charged for dessert. Overall, the place is gorgeous and the service is good but for the price and food we probably won’t be back for a long time. FYI, food for our wedding was absolutely delish so we did expect a little bit more of a wow factor for this restaurant.

Service overall was good but slow. I am thinking it might be because of new staff coming on for the summer. It took almost 20 minutes to get the lunch menu because they were still making changes to it when we arrived at Noon for our reservation. Other than that, everything was fine. Can't beat the beautiful view!

Had the most beautiful Mother's Day Dinner at Ocean! We had a party of 7 and were greeted by the hostess and seated right away. Immediately a Manager came over to wish us a Happy Mother's Day and welcome us! Server promptly followed with water for the table and drink menus! There was a special menu for the ocassion which had a perfect combination of dishes for everyone, although half of our party ordered the Eggplant Meatballs (which were insane!) I hope they keep those on the menu for the season. Management checked on us, and the surroudning tables several times throughtout the seating which is nice, in some restaurants you never even see a Manager. Our food came out timely, the view was amazing as always...and considering how busy it was due to it being Mother's Day, the service was phenomenal. Highly reccommend!

Food was excellent and atmosphere was wonderful and views were great BUT service was lousy. Waited 1 hr for appetizers and 25 minutes for entrees. Service was so awful the table next to us got up and departed prior to receiving their entrees. Bread oven on premises but no bread was offered. It’s a shame service was lacking because this is a lovely restaurant.

First-time diners in this establishment. We drove from across the pond in Connecticut to experience your beautiful restaurant; We did not leave disappointed. Their restaurant manager Mel was relatively amicable and professional. The staff was superb. The cocktail list is delicious and their menu is yummy. I highly recommend it. Cheers!!!

We celebrated our wedding anniversary at the Lakehouse. W enjoyed a beautiful location and ambience of the restaurant. For the entrees we ordered halibut and scallops. Both dishes very tasty, however the halibut was outstanding. All the seafood is very fresh here. We recommend the place for a special occasion.

We were very impressed with the restaurant. We sat outside with a beautiful view of the Long Island sound. There are so many levels outside that you don’t hear anyone else. The waitress was very attentive and friendly. We had oysters in wine and garlic, chicken pot pie soup with pastry croutons, and a huge salad with apples, onions, tomatoes, With a delicious vinaigrette. Overall, this venue is huge, with a ballroom, lovely indoor and outside areas, a sushi bar, and beach access for catering. We can’t wait for Ocean to reopen next year.

We finally got to experience Ocean after hearing so much about it; it just happened to be a cold and windy Saturday night in October, but the spectacular views and amazing service by Manager and staff made up for it. Kudos to a job well done and making it a memorable experience for my in-laws. We shall return during the summer months next time.

More "lunchy" fare on dinner menu. Usually get steak but was unsure. Butter and salad dressing came on plate in plastic covered disposables. Beautiful view of Long Island Sound. This night it was extremely loud but people were enjoying and having fun. Will I go back. Yes. Manager was very nice and encouraged us to return!

Great view crappy food. This place is run down and unorganized. We could not even locate a matre d upon arrival. The bathroom was gross and smelled like mildew. I won’t be back. This piece of property is deserving of a high quality posh restaurant. The Crescent club is a beat up Chevy parked in a Rolls Royce spot.
