Eighty Ocean Kitchen and Bar

As a resident of 20 years I finally came across the absolute worst meal I have ever had on this island. Yesterday, I met some off Island of friends and together we decided to try this new restaurant. I have never been one to be shocked over price- that is until yesterday. And by the same token I've never had a meal. That was so horrible that I couldn't eat. So I ordered my $24 piece of fish and five free french fries and when it arrived there was a glimmer of hope because the fish didn't look very large and very edible. That is until I tried to work my way through the battery. That was difficult to say the least because it was extremely thick . Once I got in to where the fish was I found nothing special but passable. I wish you could have seen what I had to leave on the plate. As I looked at the remaining crust of the fish, I conjured up a vision of maybe taking it home I'm using it as a planter for flowers. Anyway, I am not a picky person when it comes to food. As a person with a military pass I have eaten earthworms, grasshoppers, even dried a snake one time. I would be hard-pressed to ever again choose that fish dish over any of the above. Oh yes, and my two friends settled for a $20 grilled cheese sandwich with a half of a handful of salad.. should you choose to eat there, I hope your meal is more satisfied than mine was. Happy New Year.

I was dining by myself and as opposed to seating me at a table the hostess was rather dismissive and had me go to the bar.
I was fine with the bar but it seemed the bar staff was not completely receptive to serving dinner at the bar.
I ordered the warm olives and never received the olives. I asked to go slowly but was rushed through and the service was disjointed.

I think the bar staff as well as the hostess and likely the manager should be retrained in how to offer quality service that matches the product and ambience being offered.

As a contrast I also dined at The Wharf and although more casual the quality of service was much better.

We dined here for the first time in early December. The food was superb but what was exceptional was our server, Edgar: We mentioned a food allergy and he was proactive about everything we were served reiterating what was safe for the person impacted. Kennedy, the manager was especially attentive and friendly as well. It's so refreshing to experience great food and exceptional service. We'll definitely be back.

Last evening we experienced a terrific evening at Eighty Ocean Kitchen and Bar. The reservation process was easy, the greeting staff was welcoming and very nice even though we arrived 10 minutes late. Our table staff (Riley) was kind, knowledgeable, attentive, and lovely responding to questions and requests during the evening. She even reached out to the Chef on questions we had ... prompting him (Chef Hector Rosano) to actually take the time to come to our table to chat and going the extra mile to email us his quick process for preparing a particular element of his entree.

They all fit the pieces of an extremely wonderful evening with 4 friends perfectly. All four entrees were absolutely deliciously different and tasty --- I will definitely mark this as a regular place to visit. Thank you for an outstanding evening.

Tried something new called "gnudi" which was not impressive. Tiny portions and additional spinach after already served a salad. Also some surprise slivers of jalapeño that weren't mentioned on the menu was not a bonus. Another surprise $4.80 "banquet & service charge" on a $24.00 bar tab assures that I won't be returning to this establishment. Nonsense fees like this are an immediate turn-off that demonstrates sheer greediness and takes advantage of unsuspecting customers. Had I noticed the service fee, I wouldn't have included an additional 20% gratuity.

We went here as a group of 8 adults and 5 kids with one being special needs, and everything was great! It was my MIL’s birthday celebration, and we brought a cake earlier on which they had no problem taking. The service was above and beyond. My 6 year old has special needs, and went into the restaurant crying and wasn’t settling down. Our server was so helpful, and even brought out some toast and butter for her while we waited for her kids pizza. The cocktails are delicious, but the espresso martini was a little stronger than I am used to, but I still drank the entire thing. 😆 I had the scallop entree which was so good! It came out smaller than I expected dish wise, but it filled me up! I just wish I remembered who our server was, because she really was great to our entire party.

Trevor was our awesome server, and did a fantastic job! My wife very much enjoyed the green juice, so much so that we're going to have to learn to make it at home. Unfortunately, one of my poached eggs was solid as a rock, but that's easily overlooked, it happens. Other than the overcooked egg, our meal was great.
