    My sister and I had a lovely time and our waiter (Nicole) was very helpful and attentive. The staff were so positive and welcoming on a very busy summer day. It was so lovely having lunch overlooking the ocean and we enjoyed our experience. My appetizer of Brie and pecans was delicious, but my small (tasty) lobster roll didn’t even fill the small hot dog roll and my fries were cold. For $48, I don’t consider that what one should expect for that price point. My sister had the crab cakes, which had so little aioli, they were bland, but cooked well. The potato salad was undercooked (could hardly get the fork in each piece) and the mustard sauce was overpowering. We will return to the Ocean House again, but hopefully the dining experience will be more tasty next time.

    I had certain requests and they were all met like flowers at the table with a card. The place is amazing and should be experienced by all!

    Beautiful venue, excellent food, Poor Service! Due to busy schedules, we typically dine out on special occasions only (mostly birthdays), and expect to spend an above average cost for dinner (approx. $100 per person) at the Bistro. Hoever, we would never have expected to be greeted by a waitress who informed us that due to being overbooked, she recommended placing our full order all at once in order to enjoy the "full experience" (whatever that means)! We live locally...5th time there, last time there!

    Great restaurant. Nice atmosphere. 2 things would help this place (and I left it a 5 star review): 1. Bread basket 2. Coke refills. Not sure why a $6 small coke doesn’t warrant a refill but not a huge deal.
