"The service was impeccable, our food was hot and came out quickly. it was the fastest dinner we ever had, less than an hour. We got apps, entrees, and dessert. We went because the menu was unique. The food was good but I didn't feel like it was special. I would maybe go back for a special occasion but I wouldn't crave anything. Getting a reservation was hard and I can see why. it's beautiful. It's very seafood heavy which makes sense but I would like to see more variety in entrees than building a meal a la carte to get something without seafood in it."

"The best meal we’ve had this visit to the cape. Our server Samantha paid close attention to detail, was very kind and knowledgeable of the menu. We had a memorable time eating amazing food while looking out to the ocean, you really can’t get much better than this. When we go back home to our busy lives we will always think back to night we had here and will be dreaming of the miso butterscotch ice cream until the next time. Superb!"

"Awesome time. I had gone a month ago, and was disappointed. But that was a complete fluke. This place has always been great and one of my favorites. Last night did not disappoint. The staff is awesome, Brittany and Cal were terrific! Service was great, food was delicious. Glad I went back and was super happy!"

"Everything about this place is great! I would recommend trying here. The food is delicious. I love the tuna tartare, baked or fried oysters one of those was so good, and the drinks are very photoworthy especially with the beautiful ocean view. I will definitely be back annual for the food."

"We ate out on the patio. Beautiful ocean views. We’ve come here a couple of years ago as well. The strawberry mojito was delicious. The chef accommodated my request and made grilled fish taco for me instead of using fried fish as described on the menu. My son had the lobster Caesar which had a very generous amount of lobster meat."

"The Ocean House is the best! The food is outstanding, the service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is beautiful. For appetizers, we got the Cobb Salad and the 5-layer ahi tuna. For our meals, we got sea bass, lobster noodles, and Korean fried chicken. Everything was delicious!"

"Amazing service!!! We celebrated our elopement and anniversary here. Immediately the hostess congratulated us and gave us a table by the window. Our waiter Danny was personable, but not intrusive. Very well versed on the menu. We had the seabass and calamari - both delicious! They even gave us a complimentary tiramisu which is the best I’ve had. Lastly, they have complimentary valet."

"A++ overall dining experience! Complimentary valet parking makes showing up very easy and getting there early might guarantee you a window seat. We were seated by the window with a great view of the water. Drinks were exquisite, flavorful, and smooth - and garnished well. Ordered a caesar salad to split and it was plenty large enough for the two of us. I ordered the sea bass and my SO ordered the swordfish, both cooked to perfection. It was the best we'd had of either (and we've had our fair share). Our waitress was attentive but not too crowding and when we expressed that it was our anniversary, we received a complimentary dessert. The hostess and valet guys were very pleasant, too. By far, this was the best restaurant we dined at during our trip to the Cape!"
