The Alfredo sauce was dark and more gravy like. Lobster bisque had very little lobster and lots of sherry. All seafood dishes had tons of seafood. Good value there.

The crab cake was delicious, the salad with passion fruit dressing was nice. We ordered 2 entrees, the flank steak was very good but the grouper was overcooked and flavorless and the risotto had turned to mush.

We loved Ocean Grill. We ate on the patio but the dining room looked stylish and cool. I started with the avocado salad. It was excellent and just enough to whet my appetite. My husband had the Caesar salad, his go-to starter, and enjoyed it thoroughly. We both had the grouper entree. Mine with the lemon risotto as prepared and my husband substituted mashed potatoes. We both loved the delicious sauce served with the fish and the fish itself was prepared perfectly. Unfortunately we didn’t have room for dessert because the menu was very tempting. Our server, Z, was one of the best and most professional servers we’ve encountered on the island. We will definitely be back. Side note: I had brunch here a few years ago and loved it. Very happy that their dinner is equally amazing!

Very nice ambience in a “courtyard” off Duval. Good outdoor seating…. We both enjoyed our Lobster, Seafood Pasta. I only wigged that there were larger pieces of lobster. The keep Lime Pie dessert was good, it was more of a whipped consistency. Our bottle of Sauvignon Blanc was reasonably priced. Our server was very attentive and friendly.

Food was wonderful. For the average person the price was a little high, but that is my opinion based n one’s economic level. If $$ is not a consideration, I would recommend this place. I had no problem with the $$ but one should know the truth before going. Best meal have had in Florida in a long time and I have been living here full-time for the past 14 years.

It is located in a great little area just off of Duval and away from the crowds. Our server was excellent and attentive to our needs. One of us split a meal and he made the effort to split it beforehand. All our meals were excellent, even the salads, but if I had to choose a favorite, the Parmesan crusted Mahi was it. Overall, we were pleasantly surprised and delighted that we came across this restaurant and would recommend it.

Food was amazing but our server and the host seemed like they were under the influence of something. There was a large prescription bottle of pills on the shelf next to the host booth. Then a waiter ran out of the restaurant and the host chased after him leaving the host stand unattended. Our waiter barely spoke and seemed like we were bothering him. However the food was very good.
