Reviews for Ocean in Bayville, NY
It was a Saturday evening so it was very busy, service was a bit disappointing but it didn't ruin the experience... completely... The food and cocktails were superb and the atmosphere and views were impresive to say the least. The spicy reddragon sushi was incredibly delicious and I would come back on a quieter day just to get that efficient service and enjoy thissushi again. Still, I rate this 5 starts because I understand that the location and times we live in makes it hard to staff arestaurant properly. Read more
Ummmm...I was expecting better food here but the food doesn't come any where close to the amazing view here. For the price of 60... dollar for an 8oz ny steak, I expect it to be cook how I wanted. I wanted medium rare but I was serve medium well. The seafoodpasta was blend, pretty disappointed but at least the view was nice. I will only recommend the caesar salad here LOL. One morething, instead of being on top of the ice my oysters and clams were soaked in water. Thats 3 oyster, 3 clam and half a lobsterfor 65 dollar in which I have to brutally crack open the lobster claw. ???? Read more
Yesterday was me and my husband 4th years anniversary. I just see so much good reviews about this restaurant and I was so... excited about to have great time at this beautiful place. But the food was not fresh. The mussels was stinky and the service wasterrible, it was so disappointed. The place was very beautiful and the view was amazing, it just the food and service not sogreat. I give the two star for the view. Read more
Everyone needs to go here at least one night during the Summer. It’s on the beach and the sunset view is amazing. When you... post pictures everyone will think you are on a Caribbean Island. The entire staff is friendly and hard working, but the maitred James is outstanding. We were seated close to the hostess stand so we could see how hard he was working to make sureeverything ran smoothly. Being so close we could also hear how he was speaking to staff, as well as guests and that was wherehis true professionalism really came out. He never once spoke unkindly to the staff. I have been witness to this in many otherrestaurants and it has caused me not to go back to them. He was on top of the game and made sure everyone was happy and havinga great time. He was friendly and made the experience even better. Absolutely do not let the Summer of 2022 pass you by withoutgoing here. I promise you will love it. Read more
Amazing!!! We had an incredible dining experience at Ocean. Made a reservation but got there around 7 on a Friday. Got a nice... seat outside and watched the most incredible sunset. The staff was so nice! We got edamame, the lobster roll, the chef’s sushiroll, the yellow lantern roll, two glasses od red wine and an espresso martini. Everything was so good!! Can’t say enough goodthings about this place. There was also a bar up top with more seating outside. Will definitely be back! Read more
Came here for a big lunch... The location is very good. The views are great. The food is good, but could be better. The... problem was the service. Negative 1 star: Very inattentive, and lackluster. I had to ask for silverware a few times, spoon forthe oyster vinegar, horseradish, just not very attentive. Negative 1/2 star: We started with dozen oysters, some of them werevery small, and stuck to the shell, which makes me question freshness... Shrimp cocktail good Caesar salad good Calamarigood Steamed lobster - was a little bit on the tough side Negative 1/2 star: Ordered their Seafood pasta, and for $36, theportion was extremely small. I can't see it being a main course, the portion was more like a lunch portion but should have beenhalf the price. Gave up on dessert as server was MIA most of the meal. Read more
First time here and probably won’t return but not because I had terrible service but for the price, and the size of quantity... of food don’t match. Taste was yummy but nothing spectacular, loved the ambiance and views from the outdoor patio. It was meand the wifey and kids and nanny. Enjoy a NY Strip Steak, Grilled Chicken, Sea Food Endeavor that carries Clams,Shrimp,Oysters,and Lobster. Valet and Waiter service was super great, nice and attentive. We were able to leave the car with valet and walkover about 3 driveways and end up at a beach with a swing set for the kids to enjoy; I thought that was really neat. No extracharge, you just don’t take your car and walk 5min to get the the playground. We had ice cream and a type of cheese cake thatwas very delicious at the restaurant almost forgot to mention that. $400-460 spent in one afternoon. Read more
View is fantastic. Food is average. Lobster roll and seafood pasta were okay. Clam chowder was meh. The strawberry shortbread... was too sweet for us. Service is somehow lacking. We did not get spoons for the soup and the dessert, until we asked for it.Also, we found out on the site that even if you make a reservation for outdoor seats, it’s not guaranteed. Nevertheless,it’s still worth going for the views. Read more
