We had a wonderful dinner here. We weren’t guests at the hotel but wanted a nice location. Service was very friendly. We shared the brussel sprouts-which were a very large portion. I had the crab cake and it was delicious! Afterward we walked down to the dunes to catch a great sunset.

Came here to celebrate my birthday while checked in the hotel. First, the food is ok to good. For appetizers, we had the crispy potatoes, yellowtail aquachile and beet salad. We liked all of them. For mains, we got the pork chops and the prime rib. Both good portions and delicious. The service however is lacking. We didn't see our sever for quite a while. We wanted to ask about another menu because we were seeing other people served food that was not in the menu given to us but the server was nowhere to be found. She comes back and said "I know I haven't checked on you in a while". So she knew. This happened twice. Then after our meal another server came and brought a bowl of vanilla ice cream with berries. My friend said "theres no candle?" Then the same lady server came right behind and said "they didn't listen to my instructions". So we thought she was gonna come back with a candle but we soon realized she wasn't. We just expected a little bit better service especially when celebrating an occasion at a nice restaurant.

Had a party of 7 people for lunch at 1 pm on 6/29/25. Everything was great except for the table. I called a week ahead of the reservation and requested a round table that could seat 7 persons. The person at the front desk of the restaurant led us to a round table that would fit 4 persons. They had to add a square table against the round table that was awkward to say the least and seriously dimineshed the conversation among all the diners. If they did not have a round table that would seat 7 persons they should have told me that and I could have made other plans.
Ox and OceanResponded 2 days ago
Dear Richard, Thank you for being our guest at Ox and Ocean, and for leaving a positive rating. We're very sorry we did not seat your party of 7 comfortably. Your request should have been noted and honored, and we'll ensure an oversight like this does not recur. We appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We're glad your experience was otherwise enjoyable, and we hope you will consider returning.

Came to Ox and Ocean with my family for the first time to celebrate a belated Father’s Day. The food was delicious, a few of us ordered the chilaquiles and were blown away by the taste absolutely delicious. Not to mention the amazing drinks. We loved the ambiance and location. Definitely a spot for a quick getaway. Will be back with the hubby, can’t wait to explore the dinner menu.

Overall, the food was DELICIOUS. I decided to get a mocktail. I was told they can make the blueberry basil margarita without alcohol. I ordered that. I was shocked to learn it was $18…the same price as the alcoholic beverage. Usually cocktails are priced based on the alcohol. They aren’t opening a bottle and pouring in the alcohol, so I was a bit taken back. I learned to always ask how much a mocktail is before ordering when not on the menu. But again, service, ambience, and food was fantastic.

Cute place. We had a lovely spot by the pool with a view of the ocean. The food was great. I had the avocado toast with a side of the bacon (the marinated(?) one - yum! Server Adriana was good, but there was one lady (Caucasian) who assisted her in bringing out the food. We were missing steak knives for our steak. I asked for her to bring us knives, and she was like "ok," - like "sure, I heard you, but I don't care." I'm not surprised; she never came back with the knives. I mentioned Caucasian because there was another lady who was helping Adriana, and she is African American. I had no issues with her.
