I am a huge foodie, and I pride myself and being pretty picky when it comes to restaurants carry heart has done an amazing job with this restaurant she has seasoned staff. She has a lot of options for those with food restrictions. The ambience is delightful and you are made to feel very special at this place. I probably shouldn’t be saying all this because then I won’t be able to get a reservation if everybody goes there! This place is a Cape Cod icon.

Ocean House never disappoints ! I started with tuna tartare and omg it was so light refreshing and perfectly paired with their homemade seasoned wonton chips. What a party in my mouth ! Onto the main which was the halibut in a burre blanc sauce , perfectly cooked with a toasted colored rice. We sat at a table right by the window over looking the ocean, what a beautiful and peaceful atmosphere . The service was excellent and perfectly timed . Can’t wait to go back.

We had a wonderful meal and our server, Celine, was so great with my 3 year old granddaughter. She also explained the new menu to us and was very conscientious with regard to my daughter’s celiac disease so she was able to order everything she wanted.
