Ocean 302

The food is delicious, creative, and fresh. They just cannot seem to cook a burger correctly. I order it rare every time, when I like it medium rare, just go be safe. Invariably it comes out well done. I woulda eaten medium. That’s the only time I’ll send back my food.

The food and service was great even though they were busy.

Where to begin. Restaurant was a bid over crowded for today's standards. Ordered glasses of Merlot only to find out they had none. Three of the four of us ordered the Salmon only to find out 30 minutes later they were out (apparently food got dropped on floor). Ordered french onion soup which was okay; however, my husbands came out "extra done". Claimed that was how it was ordered but that was for my salmon that never arrived.

There was a table of 10, two adults and the rest children. Would say 5 of the children were under age of 8. Apparently they did not have to wear shoes into restaurant and walking on all the chairs was acceptable to parents and staff. Chairs were not cleaned then they left

Needless to say this is not a place I will put on my list of places to return to.

OpenTabke made this experience great
My bruschetta gluten free pizza was disappointing they gave change chef or ingredients it was not tasty at all. It’s hard having to be gluten free and 302 used to have great bruschetta gluten free pizza disappointed my guest meals were great including the vegan meal so that is why I gave food 4 stars
Too bad 302 not sure about coming back

Small outdoor patio. Pricey for the casual restaurant atmosphere. Food good.

Been a while. Had a somewhat bad experience a couple of years ago and decided to give it another chance
Extremely pleased we did
Great liquor flights
Food was incredible
Awesome service
GM Mike came out to check on us
We will make this a regular hangout!!

The appetizers and drinks were delicious. The problem came when we received our entrees. Both mine and my husbands were sooooo salty to the point we couldn’t eat our steaks, and we love salt, and the lobster was very undercooked. It wasn’t a big issue until the manager came over and told me that I don’t understand how lobster is cooked. I asked him if he looked at it, he said yes, but he didn’t check if it was underdone.
Overall I was very disappointed in our experience there, except for our waiter who was absolutely wonderful.

Limited menu. Mostly teen and young people food. High carbs, low protein. Poor quality. Would not recommend.

We had a delicious dinner. The drinks were great and food was delicious. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly.

A very good restaurant good for all occasions. Diverse menu from simple burgers to fine entrees. Service is always good.

The dining experience at Ocean 302 is always outstanding! The food is fresh and delicious, and the servers are outstanding. Mike, the manager, is always on hand to make sure everything is perfect during your visit.

Always outstanding food and service at 302!

Exceptional food and service! Glad we found this place. Have already been back!

It was an overall good experience, but the desert is what stood out this time for us.

First time dining at Ocean 302. We came in for lunch/brunch and had a wonderful meal. Our server was very attentive and friendly. Worth the drive for us to get there, looking forward to returning.

We enjoyed our night out. The service and care were amazing and the food was delicious.

Disappointed...Not the same restaurant since close down

We were looking for a new place for dinner, read the reviews for Ocean 302 so we decided to try it. We loved our appetizers! We loved our dinners! The beers were cold! The service was great. We (4) will return. Great restaurant !

We had Dinner and then came back the next day for lunch. Outstanding hamburgers and the kale broccoli appetizer was delicious. Bacon Bloody Mary was on point. Can’t wait to
Visit again when we are in town .

Food was Amazing! Our Server was the Bartender and she was very attentive. Enjoyed our meal and conversation with the Owner. Beautiful Evening

This restaurant is fantastic and just down the street from the beach which makes it a great stop on the way in or the way out. I highly recommend the Mac Ma Cheese!

The food was excellent the service I highly recommend will return to this location Our server a Jamie was excellent she knew the menu and she knew what to recommend according to our tastes

Very good food with a special flair.

Great food and great service.

Menu had great verity of choices. We will be back soon.

Three strikes and they are out. During the past year, we have had three poor dining experiences here. The menu concept is great. However, they fail to deliver good service. Food comes out late, some food is hot while other food is cold. Servers can be seen chatting amongst themselves while your water is empty and your party needs additional beverages. Final analysis: too frustrating for the price and service performance.

Service was very good. All the food was overcooked.

Service and food is always outstanding! Thank you to the manager Mike, and his tremendous staff.

We are regulars; the kitchen was off this past time, but the food is always good, and the people are really nice; especially Mike.

Food was excellent. Service was excellent as well, even though they were quite busy on a Saturday evening. Parking is a problem and the "strip mall" location leaves a lot to be desired. The two hostesses the greeted us as we entered were very nice, pleasant and friendly. It is obvious that the Chef and his team really care about preparing and presenting a quality meal and experience. I would like to see them carry Hell 'n Blazes' local, craft beer on tap.

The dinner was excellent although the waiter was short on details about the food. The noise level was very high and made conversation difficult. It came from both music and diners talking over it.

Good is always excellent

We have been to 302 many times. The food was very good. The bar service was very disappointing. It took exceptionally long to get our drinks. The food service was good.

Birthday was perfect. Thank you

We had a 6:30 reservation on a Sunday and it was packed. We were seated right away and our waitress came shortly. Drinks came slow. 20 min later we ordered an appetizer, a charcuterie and it took over 30 min to come out. Service here is usually very quick and this had nothing to do with our waitress. She can only bring out what the kitchen puts out. We ordered and after an hour of waiting for entrees we decided to pay and leave. They were kind enough to charge us only for drinks and apps and were very apologetic. As we were ready to drive off they ran out the door with our packed up entrees ( well most of it anyway!) we love this restaurant and of course will give it another try but when you are tired and hungry, 2 hours is too long!

Celebrating a birthday .... wonderful food but the only downfall was the service. But would definitely go back!

Waiter was inattentive and not observant at all. Made poor decisions, that prolonged our dinner.

Very disappointed with Ocean 302. The food was good, not great but overall not a good experience. Tonight was the Saturday after Valentines Day, they were slammed and although we had a reservation our choice of seating, for my husband and I, was a very small table in the dining room area sandwiched between two other tables or a large high top table in the bar area. My husband was not happy, and said so to the hostess, but there were no other options so we took the high top in the bar. Our server was very attentive in the beginning, got us drinks and took our appetizer order. We got our cocktails and were relaxed and chatting when the other hostess came up to our table and asked if we would move to a two person high top that just became available. She told us it is more private, which it was not. We were both really not happy, and she knew it, it was not the right thing to do. I told her no we did not want to move. In the meantime time we finished our appetizer and our server was no where to be found to take our dinner order, it took another 10-15 minutes to order our meal, then waited a half hour for our food. Our server asked if we wanted to look at the dessert menu, we said yes and then she disappeared again for 15-20 minutes at which point we just asked for the check. Very disappointing overall service experience. Not a good place for a date night, the pricing is fine dining but the ambiance and noise level says sports bar.

This restaurant is probably the best in Melbourne. We’ve eaten there dozens of times. This time, there was a glitch and the manager went above and beyond to make right. We will continue to dine and recommend Ocean 302. I highly recommend the Salmon entree, Truffle Love pizza, and fungi burger. Though all is outstanding.

First time at Ocean302. Great food selection, service and ambiance. Will definitely return again
