    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ampersea, and it was truly an exceptional experience from start to finish. The moment we walked in, Joey, the manager/greeter, greeted us with such warmth and enthusiasm that we felt right at home. His kindness set the tone for the entire evening. The service throughout the meal was impeccable—our waiters were attentive without being overbearing, ensuring our drinks were always topped off and checking in just the right amount. A special shout-out goes to Oscar, the bartender, who was absolutely phenomenal. He crafted some of the best cocktails I’ve had in a while, with perfect balance and creativity. Overall, Ampersea delivered on both food and service, and the personal touches from Joey and the rest of the team made it a memorable night. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food, fantastic drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere!

    The Atmosphere is wonderful by the water. The bottomless brunch drinks are excellent. The food is Pretty Good. I usually get the Ampersea omelette, is Great! This time I tried something different and went with the Mediterranean Omelette. It wasn’t that great. However, my best friend had steak and eggs and she enjoyed it. I love this place but, next time I’ll stick with seafood.

    First time here- and we will be coming back! Beautiful views, food was amazing, staff was kind, friendly and didn’t rush us.Joey- even took us down to the boats and took pictures of our family for our daughters birthday. Bavarian pretzel with crab dip was to die for. Great experience!
