We celebrated our anniversary with a brunch at Ocean House. Overall the food was good. The fruit portion of the brunch was not super fresh (wilted grapes). The spinach salad was wonderful but, unfortunately, the pine nuts on the salad were going rancid. It would be great if they paid a bit more attention to the quality of the items they are serving before they bring them out. It was our first time there so maybe it was a one off? The service, ambience, and views of the ocean were wonderful. I would definitely go again and hope they improve the few areas of weakness.

The staff at The Bistro are exceptional—well-trained, professional, and always a step ahead, attending to every need before you even realize it. I loved the experience of being so attentively catered to. Since we arrived early, we started with a perfectly mixed dirty martini at the bar and enjoyed every moment. Once seated, we ordered wine and the Brie appetizer, which was delightful and something I’d happily order again. My partner chose the filet, which, while good, didn’t quite live up to fine dining expectations. I ordered the scallops, asking for them to be cooked more on the well-done side rather than the typical sushi style. Unfortunately, they arrived undercooked and had to be sent back. While waiting, I shared my partner’s steak, along with the Brussels sprouts (which were fantastic) and potatoes. After nearly a 15-minute wait, my scallops returned but were still somewhat underdone, with risotto that was unfortunately overcooked. I ended up taking them home instead. To finish, we ordered the crème brûlée and cappuccinos, but the dessert arrived cold, and the cappuccinos were barely warm—another letdown. Our server graciously topped off our wine, which was appreciated given the delays. Overall, our stay at Ocean House was just as lovely as friends had recommended, and I truly don’t think you could find a more attentive staff anywhere. However, The Bistro needs to elevate its dining experience to maintain its 4-star reputation.
