    From the moment you walk into the inn lobby you are warmly welcomed by the concierge. The service and ambiance were extraordinary from start to finish and were only exceeded by the chef's remarkable recipes. We chose the three course dinner and every dish was meticulously prepared, subtly flavored and absolutely delicious! As advertised, the price is on the high side which reflects their uniqueness, their quality and their commitment to providing an exceptional experience. Topping everything off is their small but windowed dining room providing a wonder view of the ocean.

    We've eaten at Ocean three times, and each visit has been a treat. The food and service have been great, and the location -- up on a hill overlooking the Atlantic, with a full moon in the sky -- is wonderful. My wife and I require gluten-free meals, and nearly every item on the menu is or can be made gluten free.
