Went for a happy hour to enjoy music. When I opened the door, at least 7 steps to get in. They have no way to accommodate a wheelchair which is just about unheard of now days. They really need to make a reasonable accommodations for wheelchair users. Plus, nothing on their website about not accommodating a wheelchair user.

21 Oceanfront offers an elegant dining experience with stunning ocean views and a touch of old-school charm. The restaurant features leather booths and servers dressed in tuxedos, creating a sophisticated ambiance. Guests can enjoy a variety of fresh and delicious dishes, including the highly recommended blackened swordfish and lobster mac and cheese. The Cesar salad, chocolate brownie, and cheesecake remain popular choices. The well-made cocktails and attentive service enhance the overall dining experience. Customers praise the restaurant for its gourmet meals, excellent Espresso martinis, and elegant atmosphere, which includes a live piano player. While it can be noisy at times, particularly with the piano player, the bar area is a great spot for pre-dinner drinks. It is a pricier option, but worth it for a special occasion. The restaurant is known for its steaks, seafood, and sides, with many noting the delicious food. Valet parking is available, and the views of the ocean at sunset are awesome. Although some have found that the steaks were not cooked to their requests and returned to the grill instead of being replaced, guests generally find the experience delightful. Many commend the chef for fantastic food, such as the thick and juicy baseball cut swordfish and the blackened seafood linguine. The atmosphere is described as intimate, with quick and kind service making it a memorable dining experience.
