Ocean Blue just reopened and we brought some friends who were in town to try the new menu. The Grouper over red rice was our favorite dish, it was superb. Chef Dimitrius outdid himself. It was perfectly cooked and very tasty. The Mussels and Shrimp in a caper sauce was amazing too. Our friends enjoyed the burger, pizza and a few salads too. Love the decor and atmosphere. Melissa our server was friendly and helpful. Will return again to try more items on the menu. Highly recommend.

Went there today and were told they were not serving food. Only food was at the pier at Southern Tide.

For hotel food, this was pretty tasty. We were here for one of The Doctor's IEEE meetings. The restaurant is located on the second floor of the hotel with a lovely view of the ocean. There is inside dining as well as the ability to dine on their deck.We actually ate here for most of the time simply because we didn't want to rent a car and go anyplace. My favorites were the clam chowder and the BLT, both of those hit the spot. I am not even a fan of clam chowder and thought I was getting a potato soup for whatever reason. I was so surprised that I actually enjoyed it and had it several times. The PBLT was loaded with thick cut pork belly and was to die for!! The fries that came with were hot and lightly salted. Fish tacos were ok but the steak ones were totally on point. They were loaded with a lot of meat that was seasoned just right. The tacos were also of a nice size, Three would definitely fill you up.For dinner the penne pasta with chicken and the roast beer tenderloin tips were good. The Doctor got the shrimp and grits one night and enjoyed it, but I couldn't see myself doing it because of the BBQ sauce used in the dish. That didn't sit right with me.For breakfast, the spouses had a private dining area where we were able to take part in the buffet. There was a decent selection of items, with freshly made omelettes. There was the standard fair of pastries, waffles, french toast, potatoes, grits, eggs, bacon, sausage, etc. Food was hot and fresh. Staff was great and service was good.Definitely enjoyed eating at this joint, which was good since it would have been a hassle to go anyplace else. I would say that the food exceeded my expectations for a hotel restaurant.

Our dinner was decent; however, they ran out of a few dishes. Our server was friendly and made good recommendations. The chicken wings were crispy - they know how to make them well! The fish tacos were alright. The burger was pretty typical.

Amazing dinner. It was such a relaxing, enjoyable dinner. The views are great from every table. Our server was friendly & efficient. The Cesear salad was the best ever. Tomato soup was great. And their iced tea was wonderful. It’s the perfect spot to sit and relax after a long busy day.

Can't say enough about how good this place was to eat. The hush puppies were excellent, though the butter could have been a little softer when served. The hamburger was excellent, and so had it 2 times during our stay. Waitstaff was excellent. But the Sweet Potato waffle fries when served with caramel sauce - well that is to die for.

Great view of the ocean and nice outdoor seating. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Excellent service! Coming to the food, it was pretty good. I went there for dinner twice in two nights and had clam chowder, salmon, crispy brussel sprouts and ahi tuna poke. Everything was delicious. I especially loved the salmon, it was crispy outside and well cooked inside. It came with a bed of rice with juicy sour tomatoes, okra and beans. Delighted to find sour tomatoes since I do not come across them very often. Crispy brussel sprouts were a delight. They had the right amount of sweetness and delicious pork belly bits. The quantity would easily serve 4-5 people as an appetizer. Ahi tuna poke was fresh and absolutely wonderful! Tuna was served on a bed of rice and fresh seaweed. Enjoyed it thoroughly! I also tried their breakfast buffet on day. They had decent variety of hot breakfast items available along with fresh fruit and yogurt. Everything was well made. I especially loved their grits. I started craving it several days after.

After a 6 hour drive, we were tired and ready to relax with a meal and drink. Hotel, specifically The Ocean Blue met all the requirements. Food is was quick, hot, fresh and tasty. Shannon added to making it great. The perfect end to a long day.
Excellent service and fell in love with their Shrimp Cargot! Gra table eleven.... Great window views!

Sad to write this review because food here is great and the view is nice. Came for breakfast and dinner almost every day during my stay, because our first servers Bonita & Cole were outstanding. Servers after those 2 were completely neglectful, never check to refill drinks or see if anything else is needed. Attitudes of indifference & smacking gum while taking orders. Trashy, embarrassing service compared to the quality/price of food.

I had lunch and dinner here and everything we had was amazing. For lunch, I had the ahi tuna poke without rice, spicy Mayo or wontons. It was really good. Alittle too much sauce for me but still good. My daughter had the grilled chicken Caesar with fries and it was delicious. I also had a Bloody Mary and the hush puppies were really good. For dinner, I had the peel and eat shrimp and they were perfect. Tasted very fresh and full of old bay! I also had a house salad and it was also really good. My daughter had the pizza and the crust was great. My friend had the flatbread with artichokes and she loved it. The Nashville hot chicken was really good, too. Our sever was really great and the atmosphere is beautiful. I was very impressed with the whole dining experience. Best hotel food I have had in awhile.
