The views and ambiance of Ocean is by far the most beautiful on Long Island. I often go for the view alone. This dining experience was rated poorly due to the food. Last time I dined at Ocean I loved the watermelon harvest salad so I reordered it this time and it was horrible. Overall, of course I will go back but the food is inconsistent.

You can't beat the view, but the rest of the meal was lackluster. The food was okay, but it should have been much better at those prices. Although we mentioned that one of our appetizers was subpar, a replacement was offered rather than taking it off the bill or comping us a round of drinks. It took a long time to get our drinks, and bread that we had to request. When the bread came, it was stale and unappetizing.

Let’s face it, most people come here for the view. And it doesn’t disappoint. We came here recently for a birthday dinner and couldn’t have picked a better night, considering it was July (warm and dry). Watching the sunset was a real treat. That being said, the cocktails were just OK. I had an Old Fashioned that promised an ‘ice globe’ but honestly, it was a glass full of typical tiny cubes and tasted like water 5 mins after I got it. Didn’t finish it. Had the lobster rolls, which we both liked. The hubs had a crab cake that he liked but my appetizer was just OK. It was the avocado/lobster salad. Thought it would be chunks of avocado but it was more like a mush and quite honestly, the avocado was turning brownish, like it sat out too long. Dessert was good. We agreed that we would go back again to give it another try. You really can’t beat the view.

We had a wonderful time. Something I found odd was we arrived about 30 minutes early for our 3pm reservation. There wasn’t a rush, they weren’t full and they had a lot of staff however, we were asked to wait. We waited 20 minutes and then we’re seated. Just found it strange.

It was my second time at this restaurant. I had made reservations to celebrate my daughters birthday, at least two months in advance, and requested a beautiful outside table. When we got there we had a crappy table outside pushed in the corner. They told us that it was first come first serve, even though I had previously had a reservation, and in the description explained that it was my daughter’s 18th birthday to celebrate - found it very disappointing. Food was mediocre for the price waitress never told us the specials won’t be going back.

Food was good but service from kitchen and serve staff was horrible. Our waiter was excellent but the issues were out of his control. Serve staff brought soup with no spoon & by the time they brought a spoon, the soup was cold. My son's dinner NEVER came out! We waited to eat & asked several times but it never came even after the rest were done eating! The waiter felt bad and he offered us complimentary dessert which we accepted. But once again service staff brought dessert without any utensils(there were obviously none at the table) & we had to request it several times before they brought them. Coffee was served well after desserts were finished. It was not our waiter's fault! He was running around trying to fix issues at several tables. Kitchen and service staff need better training & skills!!!

Beautiful views, loved the location and the ambience; magical. The food was good, prices were high end could of had better food for the prices. The service was very slow, waitress seemed overwhelmed at times. We never got things we asked for, and when we finally did it took a very long time. Wait staff was very good, a little too good constantly coming over to clear stuff off the table, which you want but multiple people came over way too many times and was clearly stuff off when we were still using it. Overall we would come back again, we loved the scenery and the vibe of the restaurant was great. We would of stayed longer, but the bar upstairs was packed and the outside was closed. It would of been nice to stay to have a drink but there was no room. We will be back!

We had a great date night here! The view was unbelievable! We sat on the outside deck and it was beautiful. Our server was very attentive and made great recommendations. We had the salmon and catch of the day, Chilean sea bass. Our favorite part was dessert, we had the icecream sandwich which was delicious. Thanks for a beautiful dinner!

We had an outstanding meal! We sat outside and the ocean view was beautiful. I had the tuna tataki appetizer. It was perfect:pristine, beautiful cut, lightly seared, tuna. We took the time to complement the sushi chef. My partner had the lollipop lamb chops appetizer. They were beautifully prepared: rare, nice char, over farro. We had a great 6 piece shrimp cocktail: big, beautiful, fresh shrimp. He had the Ocean Pasta-the linguine was perfect but the main attraction was the abundant medley of shellfish. He loved it. I had the grilled salmon in a saffron broth…with mussels-which were like a little side bonus for me. The skin was crisp, the salmon was tender, the mussels were sumptuous. A nice cup of espresso that would rival any in Europe, and (I have to take this on faith from the brownie expert, because I couldn’t do it) an “outrageous” brownie with vanilla ice cream and caramel drizzle (I snitched a spoonful or two of ice cream-premium) finished off a fantastic meal. The service was amazing (Brendan-our server-was highly attentive). Outstanding night.

Had a reservation for an outside table but for some reason the hostess said “oh good, there’s one outdoor table left”. As if we were lucky? Umm, we had a reservation. I called the day before to request a special table for my boyfriends birthday. Restaurant was far from full but the hostess walks us outside to a table in the corner with no view. Meanwhile, there are empty tables along the railing with a view. I went to talk to hostess to ask her if we could move. “I’m sorry, those are for parties of 3 or 4”. Wouldn’t budge and told me “so sorry.” Ten minutes later they walk TWO people to one of those tables and seat them. Seriously? Told what I thought was a manager what had happened and that I just thought he should know. He was more defensive than apologetic, making excuses. Waiter messed up our order from appetizer to entree. Very nice guy though. Expensive place. Their attention to service should match that. Not a good experience. Thank god the company was great.

Outstanding experience!! Not only is this restaurant beautiful but the staff and food is incredible. The entire staff is friendly and professional. Our waitress Cat/Kat was fabulous. She truly seemed to love her job and was excellent at it. She knew the menu well and helped us make all good decisions. If you are an espresso martini fan I highly recommend you go here and have Cooper shake one up for you. He is an excellent bartender and truly wants to make sure his customers are enjoying their drink. Everything we ordered was delicious! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a casual bite or a special evening! Cannot wait to go back!

Dined outside on the patio with a nice view of LI Sound. Food was very good, margarita was as well but Pina Colada was missing some alcohol. Would have liked to have some kind of bread and butter/olive oil. Employees were very cordial and overall was a nice evening.

Love the atmosphere however dinner was a huge disappointment. Ordered the Salmon in a mussel and saffron sauce. Mussels were not fresh and the sauce was just off. A strange combo with carrots and celery. Ordered the watermelon and feta, only came with mixed greens, could not substitute fresh spinach with is generally how it is served. Friends thought their food was just ok. I think they need to step up as the place is a wonderful spot to visit.

I’m not blaming our server, I blame management. We waited an hour to get our appetizers. The place was packed and there was a catering event. The kitchen obviously couldn’t handle the volume. Food is good but overpriced. They get you with the view which is spectacular. Simply not worth the wait or the price.

The manger needs to work on his manners. We came to dine there for the overall experience of being by the water to have a relaxing lunch, but the manager did not make that so pleasant. We dove an hour and a half to get there. I’m sorry to say he was very rude to us.

It was a lovely day but very hot so we needed to sit inside. We still had a lovely time but the staff put two small high top tables together so it was difficult to juggle our food and drink. The staff did the best they could. Will go back on a cooler day to sit outside.

I love going to the Ocean at the Crescent Beach Club for the view. Sitting outside is spectacular!! The food could be improved a lot. We had steamers that were wonderfully seasoned and overcooked. The steak was dry and tough. Staff is attentive. Would I go back… a thousand times ‘yes’. Burgers and salad next time!!
