    From the time we arrived for lunch we were made to feel unwelcomed. First questioning whether we had a reservation or not then told we had to wait ten minutes to be seated on the Veranda when many people were already sitting on the Veranda. It felt that if you weren’t staying at the hotel you were second hand customers. The food was underwhelming and over priced. We had a cold crab cake and a lukewarm warm grilled cheese with ice tea and a coke for $94 including tip. Plus, when I went to the car valet it took them 30 minutes to retrieve my car after reminding them I had been waiting for 20 minutes. I don’t think we’ll return to stay at the hotel or dine there again. Never felt like they wanted us there. Server had zero personality.

    Beautiful spot with great views. Stuffed are a decent size and very good. Also had lobster rolls and it was a very decent size. It came with a green salad that was a perfect size and dressed just right with mustard vinaigrette.

    Service and setting couldn’t be better. Food has gone down hill. Overcooked Wagu beef and liquid Creme brûlée was unacceptable at this price.

    Lived in New England all my life, driven by the Ocean House so many times, didn’t know what I was missing. Eat at The Veranda restaurant …you won’t regret it food, service and views all spectacular

    While the views are magnificent and service excellent, the food is mediocre. If you are looking for delicious food and cocktails, you will not find it in this 5 star hotel. Very overrated and underwhelming. There is no reason why this hotel should serve such bland food. Very disappointing. Not to mention the flies and wasps, one of which landed in our appetizer.

    Can’t beat the location! A bit over priced but probably because of the view. Stuffed clams were very very good!!

    You are paying for the view and atmosphere. Food was good but a bit expensive for what you get.
