    The food was a little flavorless. This is the second time eating here and I would expect more from a high end hotel/resort.

    The menu was bland, there were no specials, the sausage penne dish didn't have any sausage in it. And the air conditioning was too low, therefore cold in the dining room. I won't mention the cost. We will not be back for a long time, if at all.

    The service was excellent, and you can thank Dean for that. He was excellent and very, very attentive and he was training the other two people servicing our table. One of the dishes was absolutely fabulous and one was good. It was a little loud and a little crowded for the 530 crowd for dinner but we really enjoyed ourselves. We had to leave for theater event and so we only had an hour and you were able to accommodate our dinner within that timeframe. I would absolutely come again and I would take my time and I would prefer a seat where you could see the ocean or the outdoors.

    This location is beautiful. We were celebrating an event and it was perfect. They surprised us with small cupcakes and a lit candle for this celebration. This was a magical touch. Thank you, Ocean House !

    Veey nice night at The Bistro at Ocean House. Sat at bar first, great cocktails and bar apps. Dinner was excellent; service was what you would expect with smiles all around, food was delicious…swordfish with horseradish cream the best! One of our better dining experiences in years.

    This was an amazing place to have chosen to eat. I had originally planned to take my friends out for a nice dinner (for a bachelorette!) At another location, which cancelled on us. We found this place, and we were able to easily make a reservation, park, and enjoy our meal! The only thing I would suggest for change, is to make it more clear that the valet only takes cash. Luckily we had cash, but others may not.
