   Came here for restaurant week and ordered the three-course meal provided. I started with the ceviche which was fresh large shrimp bites but too much lime. It was hard to eat. Then the next item was the Dck it wasn't as melt in your mouth as it should be but was delicious except the seasoning for the potatoes wasn't there at all. I had to season it up myself. The salad with apples was tasty although I ate the duck with the apples. Lastly, the Horchata creme brulee, though tasty it lacked the sturdiness of the custard. Service was great except when the trio of staff was having a personal conversation in Spanish right behind me. Overall meal and visit were nice but wouldn't go out of my way to dine here again.

   Restaurant week 3 course special was outstanding. Wife had the duck and I had the swordfish. Both were outstanding as were the desserts. Barrel aged Mai Tai was also a stand out.

Our culinary team will be delighted to hear how much you and your wife enjoyed the duck and swordfish entrees. Our Mai Tais can't be beat, thank you for mentioning it.

   Can’t beat the view! The experience was less than stellar due to the noise ! A musician was playing and the volume was loud everyone was talking even louder to be heard over him. The food was good but not great. Service was very slow. Prices were high but likely average for this area. We made a reservation several weeks ago and only outside dining was available. All inside tables were empty. It would have been quieter inside but I suppose staffing shortages have resulted in the dining room being closed. Would not return.

   Oceana Coastal KitchenResponded on September 21, 2022Dear Regina, we very much appreciate your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the view, but are sorry to hear about the noise level, slow service, and only outdoor dining option. Your comments have been shared with the team in order to make improvements. We apologize that you had a less-than stellar dining experience and hope you give us another chance in the future.

   The Caesar salad was overdressed and not that flavorful. The shrimp in the chipotle cocktail were lukewarm and the sauce was very ketchupy. The asparagus was very nice. The crème brûlée was too sweet. The wine was nice, the service was very good and you cannot beat the setting. Maybe it was just too hot for what we ordered.

    I felt like I was in Hawaii, only the service was better than I've experienced there. Wally, our waiter was excellent: attentative, polite, but not intrusive. The architecture of the building was inspiring: waterfall, tropical fish, and the resturant is open and faces the bay, beach. There was a luau going on at the hotel, so we walked over and watched the hula show after dinner. Overall, I highly recommend it. Well worth the price if you value service and atmosphere.

    Christina our waitress helped make it a special birthday celebration. Food delicious and plenty.Only disappointment: online crab claws on starter plate were replaced with large shrimp , still very delicious. Birthday treat tiramisu was the absolute best and I normally don’t eat desserts!! Look forward to going back for more.

    Oceana Coastal KitchenResponded on August 25, 2022Dear Heidi, thank you for letting us celebrate your special day with you.

    David, our seever was great! Wine selection was solid. Almost all food was amazing except the pork which was thin and dried out. We got a replacement dish instead of trying it again. We were seated by a wedding cocktail hour which was beautiful. When they left we had a clear view of the bay which was incredible as well. We will be back when we visit the area again.

    No bread for dinner? No dressing on salad. The flatbread seems to have been made by following numeric instructions. The squid ink linguine was the only decent aspect of the entire experience. I am so glad my wife and I were laughing about every aspect of the experience. Live and learn.
