Absolutely fantastic time. Views are as promised - stunning (ask for a table by the windows ). Service is right mix of expert and welcoming. We had the 3 course pairing - wine pours are generous and the food is subtle with a wonderful mix of fresh ingredients and delicate sauces. Perfect for a couples dinner / loved the decor, lightening and music - could easily hear each other. Finish your drink on the porch watching the surf to end the night. Would absolutely go again and recommend if staying in KPT.

The ocean view is spectacular. Unfortunately the food was not. Although the clam chowder had good flavor, the chucks of lard or fatty bacon was not a pleasant to bite into, It was difficult to distinguish the potatoes from the lard and clams so I had a hard time eating it. The poached lobster was cooked perfectly, but the green cilantro Thai sauce was too over powering and overwhelmed the perfectly cooked lobster. The chocolate cake was good and service was fine.

Perfect night. Only drawback was one loud party at the end of the night. Not the restaurants fault. Best food I have had in a while (and we live in Portland ME where standards are high) Special occasion place - high end

We drove out of our way going from Boston to Bartlett, NH to go to Ocean! It was well worth the extra drive.

Quiet place, not crowded at all. Our sever Alexis was very nice but staff was dead. Complete mystery where to park. Food was good but portions were childlike. 2 tiny scallops and 3 tiny oysters. Dessert took 20 minutes and did not taste fresh. Sky high prices. Overrated and only prix fixe. Not a family restaurant. No reason to return

Absolutely beautiful coastal setting. We sat at a table with windows on two sides overlooking the ocean. Our server could not have been friendlier or more accommodating to my food allergies. Portion sizes are European not American. While it was a definitely culinary experience, the mocktails were not to our liking. Water was replenished in a timely fashion. While the food was very good, it was not outstanding. If you like Ocean House in Watch Hill or Hotel del Coronado in San Diego, you will enjoy it here.
