Oceanâs ambiance is superb, service fantastic, location ideal, wine list impressive. my adult daughter, who was raised in oyster producing community, said: â..Oceanâs oyster bienvile was the best oyster she has ever eatenâ. halibut is usually prepared with consistency like steak; Oceanâs was soft & flaky, like a knife cutting through butter.

Stopped here on our way from Destin, Fl to Chattanooga, TN. Recommended by a friend & wasnât disappointed! We were seated right away, on a Tuesday afternoon around 1PM. Thereâs a parking lot (free) we put our order in: full rack of ribs (12 bones) mac n cheese side, kids chicken tenders with baked beans & kids grilled cheese with Mac n cheese. We were brought white bread with their famous sauce. Very delicious. Tangy, vinegary bbq sauce with a little kick. The rest of the food came soon after. The previous reviewers are correct when they say itâs not a fall off the bone meat. Itâs still great tho! The Mac n cheese wasnât my favorite. The kids loved thereâs. We decided to top off with a banana pudding. Yum! Our waitress was super nice & helped us pack our leftovers. Drinks come in a reusable plastic cup thatâs like a little souvenir. Would def return if I swing back through!

Yes, it is original no doubt with some very original pancakes like the Swedish pancake which resembles rawa dosa, light and lacy and meant to be eaten with your hands. Service is humdrum.

Some of the food was delicious: the corn soup, snapper and vegetable platter. The Hickory Grilled Wagyu Sirloin on Summer Salad was disappointing. While it was cooked a perfect medium rare, it lacked sufficient seasoning, was not juicy and parts were tough. Not what a wagyu steak should be. The steak was served atop mixed greens which became wilted. The accompanying crispy potato sticks were mixed into the salan and as a result became soggy. It would have been much better if the items in the dish were served side by side rather than on top of each other. The desserts were good but a bit small.The biggest issue we had was the size of the table and the noise level. We were 6 people seated at a table that could only comfortably accommodate 4 people. My chair protruded into an aisle and as a result people were constantly bumping into me. The room was noisy because they crammed too many tables into a small space and the open kitchen added to the clamor.

What had been recommended by our Hotel fell a bit flat. We had a brand new server (Ramsay)and on reflection it wasn't his fault. My notes read "Slow Barman, New Server, Bill Wrong" The meal was fine, actually good , but small servings ! The wife had Catfish coleslaw & mashed potato while I had Carolina Pork, baked beans & collard greens and we really enjoyed it. The problem was the Barman who had either a girlfriend or wife at the counter and spent most of his time talking/flirting , who knows what ?? Therefore our drinks were extremely slow which is no reflection on Ramsay but the kicker was someone (Distracted Barman?) added extra drinks to our bill !!So my overall opinion is over hyped & over priced beers !! $8.25 a Pop !

Anniversary celebration...made reservation a month prior. Everything we had hoped for! Based on reviews that we read, the Parmesan souffle was amazing!!! Cocktails were nothing special...actually just okay, but wine selection was exceptional. Scallopine was amazing and pasta celections were great. No room for dessert...portion sizes were more than adequate. Service, as most reviews state, was exceptional. Would also reccomend valet service as parking can be difficult for the area.

We sat at the bar because this restaurant was booked for weeks. We got Great service! Fast, efficient service, and the food was fantastic! Shrimp cocktail appetizer, Triple tail with ratatouille, Red Snapper with Zucchini pancake. It was awesome and the guy even offered to take a picture of us, he didn't have to do that, but it showed real hospitality, we were very impressed!
