Food is very bland - tasteless almost. Portions are comically small and very expensive. It’s about the view absolutely nothing else. Might be the most tasteless meal I have ever eaten.

Beautiful view and wonderful staff. Things did take a little long to come out, even drinks but overall it was a nice experience.

What happened! When they opened a couple years ago, the food was excellent. Now it’s best described as cafeteria quality food. It feels as if someone came in looking for cost cutting measures and the result is an extremely disappointing restaurant that is far below the standards of the hotel it occupies.
The children’s meals were horrible. Poorly presented on tiny bread plates. Yes, bread plates! Just a couple small soft tortillas with rubbery chicken or beef dumped on top.
The jicama salad was soggy and overdressed. The cucumbers were almost translucent.
The guacamole, for over $20, was a paltry serving. It was served with too many chips on top — put it in a separate dish.
The chicken tacos were a couple heaps of shredded chicken mixed with some filler and topped with picked onion. It’s looked like dog food on a tortilla. They were finished with what appeared to be premade avocado paste.
This is all unfortunate given that the setting — facing the Atlantic — is gorgeous and the servers are warm and helpful.
For an Ocean House restaurant (part of the Relais and Chauteau family), Dalia needs a complete overhaul of its menu and the quality of its food.

Dalia was excellent all around. Fresh and delicious Mexican food with unique and modern menu options, including choices for vegetarians. The staff was highly professional and attentive, and went above and beyond to welcome our 2 young children. The view from the deck of Ocean House is amazing and a live musician made the ambience truly lovely.

So over priced and average food to poor. Clam chowder barely had clams. Hamachi was fishy. The O.H.B.H salad sounded amazing but it was a plate full of arugula with a 1/4 cup of the vegetables. the salad description does not include arugula. Steak and burger over cooked. Salmon fishy. After apps, it was an hour and we still did not get main dishes. The waiter was never seen again after apps dropped off. We flagged down a bus boy and asked for our waiter. He said our meal should be coming soon. After 5 minutes, dinner came. The plates were very hot because they had been sitting under the heat lamp. When we left after dinner, I counted 11 plates with food under the heat lamp. A meal for 4 plus a bottle of wine and 3 drinks cost us about $800. What a terrible waste of money. We never ate here again.

Although the evening was chilly, 58°, and the restaurant is seasonal and located outside of the ocean house, we were very well accommodated with heaters and blankets and enjoyed a truly phenomenal meal with a beautiful view. Our servers were professional and attentive. My wife has sensitivity to hot peppers and chilis and the chef made up a fresh guacamole for her from scratch which was delicious. I loved the mushroom quesadilla and carne asada tacos. We both thought the fish tacos were fantastic.

Mediocre at best. From warm water, stale chips and bland meat, this is definitely not worth your time or money. You're paying for the view.

Opened this summer---a few kinks to sort out. Water and utensils took a long time and 15 mins before our waiter showed up...but service after was attentive. This place has great ambience and wonderful views of the ocean. I think the reasonable pricing is reflected in the food which is ok but could be improved. Overall a great place for casual outdoor dining in a majestic setting. If you are using concierge parking the Ocean House charges $5 for the first 2 hours and $25 hourly thereafter, possibly an attempt to discourage lingering.

If you want good, authentic Mexican food this is not the place. The food is pretty, but bland. Where are the rice and beans? The tuna “croquettes” are like deep fried cat food. The corn cake dessert is hard as a hockey puck. Everything is overpriced. We ordered fish tacos and were served shrimp tacos Instead. Just know that you’re paying for being at the Ocean House, nothing more. You want great, flavorful and authentic Mexican food, go downtown to Amigos or even Surf Cantina.
