Unfortunately I was not impressed at all with our dinner at the Ocean House. The service was very good and the ocean views are lovely, but the food left a lot to be desired. Paying these prices (over 20 dollars for small plates and over 50 for large ones) I expect for my socks to be knocked off, but my socks stayed firmly on my feet. Nothing was bad, but there wasn't one dish that deserved the price point. I would pay maybe 10 dollars per small plate and 20 per large based on the execution and flavors. My husband and I opted to try multiple small plates and one large for dinner. The tuna tartar was fine was tuna tartars go, but nothing spectacular. The portion size was decent. We tried the naan bread service. The naan was not really naan, more similar to pita bread. It was nice and salty, but the sauces that accompanied it were weak. I did like the raita, but the tomato based sauce tasted like standard jar marinara (which was funny as the waitress warned us it would be "spicy"). The "sizzling" scallops were tiny, gummy, and weren't even "sizzling" despite coming to the table in one of those little gimmicky cast iron pans. The lobster ravioli were just fine. We also had a mixed seafood dish with legless calamari (always suspicious that you're not actually being served calamari), which was just a fancy version of fried fish and tartar sauce you can get anywhere on the Cape. I only ate a few bites and it didn't feel worth it to stuff myself on something I wasn't enjoying. I had much better meals and much less impressive spots on our trip. The kitchen needs to get its act together and rework the menu into something spectacular if they really want to compete with some of the other moderately priced and luxury priced restaurants on the Cape.

Disappointed! We have dining here since the restaurant opened every year. The menu has changed dramatically. We loved the filet but now very different prep and taste . No pasta on the menu instead ramen? Appetizers and menu have a heavy Asian influence in spices and sauces instead . Not a hint of any Italian food on the menu .. used to be a little bit for all … sorry to say we will not return unless the menu changes . Sad that our yearly tradition will end! Did you change chefs?

Our favorite restaurant on the Cape. Charming host and staff are very proper - attention to detail for a non-elegant dining experience. Truly a gem!

One of the best restaurants we’ve ever been . The food was so yummy. The wait staff was very friendly and the view of the ocean was incredible. After we ate we were allowed to go outside where there was a live band and a bar. We were celebrating our anniversary and they brought a piece of cake with chocolate that said Hapoy Anniversary on top and a candle. We will definitely go back when we come to the cape again
