We were a party of 16 for 11am brunch on a Sunday. They open at 10. We made and confirmed our reservation 3 days prior. When we arrived there was one entire employee working, who explained to us that she had been working there for a whole two days. The manager had to run out for bacon and milk. A nice girl, but completely unfamiliar with the menu and should not have been left alone when they were aware that a large party was coming in. Many of the menu items we wanted weren't...read full review
We had our daughters Sweet 16 party here. While the party end was great due to the Dj and the set up done myself and people We hired. The service on their end was horrible. The food was not correct. No stations were provided. The food was cold. Very cold. We have called several times with no response from anyone.
The sign says $5 regular slice, $7 specialty. I have gotten two Grandma slices each time. Prices were $12, $10, $15, and $14.92.
The young girl at the counter explained sometimes people ring in any price they want, or we round prices up or down. This place is no way to run a business. They either rip you off or rob you if they “round up.” Avoid this place.

The Ocean View - Restaurant is a lively and spacious venue that offers a mix of great food, attentive service, and a pleasant outdoor setting. Guests can enjoy the outdoor deck overlooking the ocean, especially during perfect weather, with the lower area near the beach adding a nice touch of palm trees and natural beauty. The restaurant is popular for its flavorful seafood dishes, such as the lobster Mac and cheese, lump crab pasta, and shrimp and scallop bruschetta, which are praised for their fresh and tender ingredients. The lobster roll also receives high marks for its generous lobster meat and unique sauce, making it a favorite among visitors.
Service is generally attentive and friendly, with some reviews highlighting staff members who go above and beyond, like a server named Patrick and another noted for phenomenal attentiveness. The ambiance is energetic, especially during live music nights featuring classic songs, though some find the indoor area a bit loud and less cozy due to its large, open layout. The bar area appears efficient but somewhat cold and clinical, better suited for large groups or parties.
While most dishes impress, some appetizers like crab cake tots and brisket Mac and cheese have mixed reviews, with some dishes being underwhelming or not to taste. Overall, guests find the restaurant to be a good spot for seafood, drinks, and enjoying a summer evening by the ocean, with suggestions to ask for specific staff recommendations to enhance the experience.
