Pros: Beautifully decorated. Friendly service. Cons: Freezing cold. Everyone was wearing coats and asking to please have the window closed. Food was mediocre. Have some service kinks to work out.

I can assure you that all of these critiques(cons) have been addressed and we are fully prepared and hopefully looking forward to you next visit to spend some time with us at Ox and Ocean.

Valentines Day 2023 - we were well within the 15 minute grace period but told we were too late and they gave away the table but another would become available. We were seated in the bar area next to a very busy and drafty hallway, we had staff pass our table every minute or so. We waited 20 minutes to be served. The bar tender was nice but she was spread too thin I guess and we waited for her throughout the evening. They had a special menu but nothing special on it, it was there normal menu but $240 and you had to order like 5 items and split it. We ordered 4 items and it was about $120. The halibut was pretty good, the crispy potatoes were good and plentiful. The dessert we ordered was the shake; it had graham crackers, banana, and toasted meringue with vanilla ice cream. The shake was delicious and was enough to split.

The mussels and Tartare were both of equal quality and taste and although nothing special to report they were tasty. The halibut was replaced with what was said to be steel head trout but as I educated myself on the fish it’s just another salmon like fish. “A trout that thinks it’s a salmon”. Nothing like halibut but again tasty now the less. Though we weren’t blown away it was a decent meal, a bit pricey but your on a resort property so your paying for it

Although the menu was limited, everything we ordered for lunch was delicious! Service was attentive and knew the restaurant well - unlike some of the previous comments. We ate here for lunch on a Thursday (12/29). We made a reservation, but it wasn’t necessary. The restaurant was nearly empty except for 3 other tables. Highly recommend!

Came here for Christmas dinner menu. Arrived about 45min early - few people were seated, likely hotel guests for bar menu, and we couldn’t be seated, which is fair. Went for a walk around the grounds as suggested. Couldn’t actually go to the beach as the fences were locked w hotel key access only. Came back, seated a bit earlier than reservation, great. Our main waitress was very nice and with it. Apparently, though, Christmas menu was something out of the ordinary and she didn’t know how one of the dishes was made (eggplant osso bucco). Christmas menu advertised as 4 courses but that is apparently including an amuse bouche, which is interesting. Drinks came promptly. A long, long wait for food. No bread or anything in the meanwhile. My wife went out to take sunset pictures. We sat down when it was light out and when food came it was dark. “Second” course came before amuse bouche. Amuse bouche finally came - variation of deviled egg. Usually the “devil”ing of the eggyolk adds spice/flavor. This one added a bit of color, a bit of flavor, but still strongly tastes like a boiled egg. I got my wife got soup and I got salad. Both were fairly good - slightly below par with what we were expecting from a menu of almost one hundred dollars per person, but not out of expectation. A long long wait again. Entree - I got the eggplant osso bucco and while the large mushroom stalk that was the mock shank bone tasted great, the eggplant was spongy. I felt like it was just old, but my wife says she thought it was undercooked. No flavor, not a good texture. The mushroom ragout it sat on was flavored with a lot of salt but not much else. I usually finish everything on my plate even if it’s average, but I didn’t hate myself that much on Christmas Day, and left about half. Had to eat elsewhere afterwards. My wife’s dish was forgettable - I literally don’t remember it. She also left some. Dessert was actually pretty good. Apple tart was meh but the chocolate trifecta was great - on par+

Food was good (after 2.5 hour wait!) Staff was pleasant but TOTALLY overwhelmed. Our reservation was cancelled without informing us (after driving almost an hour to the restaurant). All in all took us 3 hours to get all our food - after consistent inquiries. Manager Jason was very courteous but that didn’t really change delay. Wish them luck in the future.

I arrive to the restaurant 15 minutes early and they were unprepared, and the tables had not yet been arranged. They were unaware of the location and set up for our group. Once we sat down, we realized that the menu that I’ve been printed online was not the same as the menu we received. Also, we had two different versions of a printed menu. I would not recommend the restaurant, yet they seemed unorganized and unprepared.

12/1 Friday night out to dinner just my husband and myself. Food is very interesting but menu poorly laid out and quite limited. Way to noisy. Could not carry on a conversation unless you lean over the table. The interior looks like a coffee shop with no interesting spots accept for a couple of couch tables for 4. Will go back for the food and hopefully much less background music

Thanksgiving Buffet Dinner Overpriced - worth $75-100 a person, if they kept the food stocked up appropriately! (Three tables surrounding us agreed) Charcuterie Platter and seafood station basically stayed destroyed the majority of the evening. There really weren’t very many people at the restaurant to substantiate the lack of substance available! At one point, another woman (who was there longer) request a refill on the dessert options. Why would you have to ask for that?!? The food was very well prepared and the service was great. No where near $155 a person worth of food - regardless of inflation
