Ocean Grill Southampton in Southampton

I’m really disappointed. I was all set for a lovely meal. Fully understood that this was a reasonably fine dining experience. The look on the waiters face when we entered the restaurant was not a good start. Just so we are clear we were all smartly dressed and we had our children with us who are actually all comfortable in a nice restaurant but the waiter looked at us like we’d brought in 2 bags of cat poo with us. Outrageous We ordered our food. Among the orders were 1x fillet steak (medium) and 1x minute steak (medium rare) These were both wrong when they arrived. Personally I think if I’m paying £35 for a fillet steak then I expect it to be cooked how I ordered it. They were both sent back They returned: 1x fillet steak now very over (the same steak too!!) 1x minute steak medium rare but unrested so it was bleeding all over the plate. Again, if I’m paying proper money for a steak then I want it done properly. A steak should be properly rested so it has a chance to relax and lose some of the juices that were currently all over the plate. Lazy Anyway. Look, maybe on another night it would have gone better. However the compound attitude of the staff with the less than tip top food means we will NEVER return.

Fantastic Prawns in chilli and butter starter and a outstanding lamb roast dinner.

What an incredible experience this evening, the food and service was out of this world. The lamb saddle was extremely delicious. Thank you to all the wonderful staff

Tuvimos una cena excepcionalmente buena aquí. Los arancini fueron los mejores que he probado en años, y nuestro plato principal cordero estaba perfectamente cocinado. Los lados estaban bien elegidos y complementaban la comida perfectamente. El menú estaba bien pensado y completo. Carta de vinos muy razonable. Ambiente muy acogedor, personal excepcional, servicio rápido y eficiente. Probablemente el mejor restaurante de la ciudad.

Best Italian restaurant I've been too

Soooooo nice, to come to a place that is an authentic Italian in southampton all I can say is wow. The atmosphere, the food and the colleagues were extremely impressive. We had A Salmon dish, a carbarnara and a ragu. These were all 10 of 10. Definitely worth a visit. We will be back!

Had linch twice. Very nice place, great food and good service

La comida es terrible. Pedí una bruschetta, vino como una pizza. El bistec estaba seco. No vale ni un centavo del dinero que cobran.

We went for a friends birthday and we pleasantly surprised by both the ease in which the staff dealt with such a large group and the quality of the food. Will definitely return for a more intimate date night.

Called in for a take away, had rosemary and sea salt pizza bread, very nice

Could've been a 5 had there been less butter. I had to dab everything on a paper napkin. I'm italian and I had the best tiramisù I've ever had at a restaurant. We'll be back, but probably ask for no dairy to try avoid all the butter, which we don't really use in Italy as we prefer olive oil.

Came on a Sunday at 2:45, got the roast wagyu. Waitress didn't use a notepad so came back twice more to confirm what other people were having for their lunch (not the waitresses fault, it's probably some awful managerial decision to some across as fancy but infanct isn't very fancy if the staff can't remember) also don't chew gum as a waitress, it's very offputting. The Wagyu was brought out and drowned in gravy (who puts gravy on Wagyu) the roast potatoes were dry and hard, the broccoli was also somehow hard but wet, the waitress wouldn't leave the jug of water on the table so we kept having to ask for refills. Another person's fish was burned (not charred, burned) and also awfully dry. Maybe I came in on a slow day but I can't for the life of me work out where all these good reviews are coming from. Only acceptable thing was the Bloody Mary, but even then it definitely could have done with more horseradish.

Hemos estado en este restaurante muchas veces, generalmente para ocasiones especiales, pero el almuerzo de fin de semana extraño. Esto fue con amigos por un aniversario de boda. Tenía un plato de merluza muy bonito, mi esposa tenía media langosta. La comida es genial, el servicio es excepcional y el restaurante es elegante y acogedor. Si criticara algo, algunos de los vinos son muy caros, pero la comida, en particular los filetes y los especiales valen la pena. Espero con ansias la próxima vez que visitemos esta joya de la escena de Southampton Food.

Couldn't fault the food on any level taste wise a little overpriced... Service was slow and no engagement with us, more like order takers than meal makers... no check backs during service. Food was also slow to come and although Friday, night they were not busy. I probably wouldn't go again as good as the food was.. Water, 2 wine, 2 beer, 2 starters, mains, coffee and deserts £128 which included 10% service charge... One guy did apologise about the service after we ate and paid and did offer limoncello, however he did make excuses for the staff, that's an "industry no-no" Great food, great company, let down by service and a little inflated prices..

What’s a fantastic please to eat ❤️ staff and service second to none I would highly recommend. Thanks so much for a great experience.

Fantastic food. Fantastic service and a tasteful setting. Great place to spend an evening with date, close friend or family

De visita un viernes por la noche nos pareció que este restaurante era una buena opción, tenía un ambiente agradable gran servicio y una buena selección en el menú. Después de haber probado los entrantes Mozzarella Peach y Pizza Bread Thyme nos quedamos boquiabiertos con ambos platos siendo excelentes. Dicho esto, la red fue lo único que detuvo esto siendo una comida de 5 estrellas en lugar de las 4 que le he dado. Teníamos el fetichismo de langostinos y un Ragout de ternera, ambos eran buenos, no está mal, no es excelente, simplemente bueno. Los dos encontramos que los platos carecían de algo y podría haber sido útil con ser un poco más condimentado, aunque las porciones eran generosas. Recomendaría encarecidamente una visita y volveré, tal vez probaré el bistec la próxima vez, ya que parece ser una especialidad aquí.

If you are looking for high end decor, poor slow service, with cheap quality meats do go here. Otherwise avoid this outlet for the reasons: the management is arrogant, the prices are extremely inflated and you have a chef that is unable to cook steak. One tomahawk medium totally inedible.

Really good atmosphere and service. Highly recommend

We went on a Wednesday evening. There were 3 other tables in use so not busy and 2 waiters serving. We waited a long time for our starters and about 45 minutes for main courses. When our mains were served we mentioned the long wait. A waiter then came back and said he had ordered one dish incorrectly. We had no offer of discount or free dessert so when the bill came I asked for the 12.5% service charge to be taken off which they did. On the plus side, the food was delicious.

the manager is a scammer he plays on the lack of knowledge of the country and the language to charge minors for extras and hé Didnt say goodbye

Really nice Italian food in a place with great ambience.

As parents of young children, we don’t get a chance to go out much, so we are careful where we go on the rare occasion. This restaurant did not disappoint. The ambience was calm, romantic and visually beautiful. We interacted with a number of staff and everyone was polite, had a wonderful smile and made us feel valued. Food was exquisite and Cooked to perfection. The Beef Wellington was a surprisingly large portion for 2 and the Malbec complimented it perfectly. Not one negative thing to say about this establishment and I can’t wait to return again.

Great tasting pasta, good cocktail selection and amazing looking steaks, beef wellington etc. Friendly service and nice ambience. Would thoroughly recommend.

Una de las selecciones más amplias de carnes y pescados en Southampton. La comida estaba fresca y cocinada a la perfección. Personal amable también.

Amazing food, beautiful venue, great service

This restaurant would have got 5 out of 5 if we had been served our drinks a little quicker. A lovely building with a vaulted ceiling which meant that even on a busy Saturday night with almost full capacity it wasn’t too loud. Music is played at just the right level which so many restaurants get wrong. Our starters of Burrata and Parma Ham were fabulous. Plentiful and well presented - the Parma ham was lovely and thick too, a generous portion. We had both chosen Wagu Beef Lasagna for our main course with a side of truffle chips and tomato and onion salad. Again, these were very well presented and generous portions. A lovely touch was the Manager/Proprietor coming over with a main course and having a little chat with us. Deserts of Chocolate Orange cheesecake and Banoffee Pie were again, devine. Upon leaving the restaurant, again, the proprietor (a really lovely Italian man) thanked us for our custom and we exchanged conversation before saying our goodnight. What a shame we were just passing through Southampton as this would be somewhere we would most definitely come again.

As a starter, my wife and I shared a Bruschetta, then she had Lasagne and I had Chicken Milanese. All three were excellent.. Service was also quite good, and the ambience of the space itself is very nice.

Amazing roast, perfectly cooked with generous sides and portions if I didn’t live 3 hours away id come again

Food was really nice.. Staff were very friendly and professional. Good choice of different foods too. A little expensive on some of the steak meals, but they are speciality meats..

Wonderful food and the ambience was good

Nothing particularly italian about the the menu. Overpriced food,

I cant remember the last time i enjoyed italian food this much, thank you ❤️

Went for my 50th on the 10th may 2024 , we have been before and food was really good . Unfortunately this time food was average . The steaks were bland . I had the lamb rack which was well over cooked and tasteless .octopus starter was nice . Didn’t complain at the time as it was my birthday and want to ruin it . Wasn’t worth the money we paid . A bit gutted TBH .

The food is exquisite. We were recommended lots of different dishes and none of them disappointed. Steak is fantastic, starters lovely .

Food was 10/10 service was really good . We was the only 4 in the restaurant at the time . When we asked for the bill it had. 28 pound service charge .sorry but not paying that when we was the only 4 in there . So we Asked to remove it then the staff was very rude . Never said thanks see you again or anything the whole atmosphere changed . Shame really really as food was really nice

Lovely meal. Had the Tomahawk Steak. Meat was great. Portions of veg a little small for price but cooked nicely and flavours were good. Delicious Amarone wine was a joy. Katka especially and the rest of the staff were exemplary. Will return. X

Came here when it opened and it was amazing. Been back once since. Seems alot worse and the manager/owner was abit rude. Not worth the money. One really nice waiter but cannot remember his name. But he has always been helpful and kind when i have been.

First visit here and it didn't disappoint. Up there with one of the nicest restaurants I've been too. Food was delicious, with the service being second to none. Would love to go back

Great service and selection of meats, pizzas and pasta. Great cocktails. Only disappointed was that I ordered the steaks medium, should have gone with rare, my mistake

So we knew it was Mothers Day but it doesn't excuse poor service, having to ask 3 times for our drinks order and asking before we had drinks if we are ready to order food...that my friends is a no no. I have recently eaten at the Ivy at Winchester had better food for less money. Come on Ocean Grill sort your service out and your food accompliments. I cannot fault ypur meat...amazing but the rest..sorry Very Disappointing.

After deceiving us with our booking which was for next door, the lamb mains were ridiculously chewy and waxy. The cheeseboard for afterwards had Jacob's crackers leftover from Christmas and completely frozen fruit to accompany- terrible for £107.95 - plus had to get a pizza afterwards

I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the staff was nice and friendly. The first half of the meal was outstanding. It was above my expectations. Garlic bread without cheese, 3 oysters, and fritto misto. 5 star restaurant. I cannot understand why, everything went downhill the other half of it. I ordered a risotto ai frutti di mare and I was served spaghetti. I'm gluten intolerant. I have had it anyway as I dislike wasting food and also as a courtesy toward the staff that have prepared the plate. I was also given a side plate to put the discarded shells. I had half mussle shell to put in it. 24£ for this is not acceptable. Someone ordered a margherita. This resembled a greasy pizza with very low quality cheese on it. It looked like from a kebab shop and had nothing to do with the crispy and lovely garlic bread made from pizza dough we ordered as a starter. The paccheri were OK. Unfortunately, there's no children's menu and the fixed menu ended at 2pm, so the child had to spend a lot not eating much (as the pizza was left due to the poor quality). Also, the mandatory service charge is something that we are seeing more and more. Please leave it to the american culture. 3 stars for the mixed experience and I won't have a full meal here again due to the service charge (10%) as i should have been offered for a discount instead due to the order error.

Great ambiance and amazing service too

I was here for the first time and it is an incredible place that I gladly recommend to visit. You will receive excellent service, delicious food and drinks.

Incredible menu with quality options, everything cooked to perfection, very good service! You definitely pay for quality here. In my opinion, this is the best good I had in Southampton, I totally recommend this restaurant.

Very impressed. Good food and excellent service. 👌

Food was very good and fresh. Service was very polite and friendly. Restaurant looks warm and cozy inside, but with elegant twist.I really enjoyed it. The only thing is when You order main food decide on portion size, otherwise You'll get large.

Misssed jojo and chef Erik they were so nice and I will definitely come back. Great food

Food is absolutely insane, service is great. One of the best restaurants in Southampton!

Very nice restaurant, food nice and tasty, staff very friendly.

Wow! This place is my new fave! We booked a table for a later dinner at 6.45 but arrived at 7 and we were still served with top class service from DEMIS. Our food was brilliant and the tiramisu is a MUST! Will defo come back here again the decor was also just well done!

We went here for a 21st birthday meal. It’s quite an unassuming restaurant as it is in the middle of a car park! The staff were so professional and the service was excellent. The food was honestly so tasty! I had the cod and gnocchi and really enjoyed it. The drinks were also really nice. It’s a little expensive but worth it and I would 100% return again.

very nice Italian food and atmosphere when celebrating a 21st birthday. All six of us enjoyed our meals and were well looked after. Also a special slice of cake for the birthday girl was a nice surprise!

A good option, especially for meat. First, the setting is nice and classy but not too stuffy. They start by showing you some of the fresh meat and seafood options available (it is actually optional whether to look), which may be a little cliche but I actually do enjoy. I ended up ordering two things from the display. My son and I both had large (and they were large) Madagascar Prawns flambéed tableside. The prawns were large and the flavors from the preparation were excellent and complex. I then had the rack of lamb for a main and it was cooked perfectly, again a nice side portion, and they were nice enough to swap a vegetable (green beans) for the potato (I don’t eat potato) without having to ask (I simply said no potato). The only slight disappointment was the tomato and onion salad, while not bad the tomatoes were a little mushy and light on flavor, which is to be expected in January but they should have taken them off the menu. Overall, a nice, relaxing meal and I plan on returning.

I came here Sunday evening and had a wonderful time. The staff were lovely, the food was amazing and I could not have asked for anything more. We stayed until it closed and yet the staff were still super nice. If I could rate this place a 6 I would.

Excellent meal here. All dishes were very nice, great cocktails and excellent service.

Italian cuisine only for uncooked dishes

Ordered Arancini as a starter and Rigatoni chorizo both was really tasty. I highly recommended this Restaurant for Italian food Lover. HeadChef Eric is the Best Thank you Very Much

Rather disappointed with the visit. After seeing amazing reviews expected more than received. Got to admit service was very good 👍 however restaurant was empty :) Food was edible but far from amazing ( to be fair very poor Italian we had ever). We didn’t want to insult the staff so didn’t say the truth. Just because of quality of food we won’t be coming back. However compliments to the waiters and nice surroundings.

The whole experience was lovely. The restaurant itself is really nice and cosy and the service was great and felt really high end. The waiter took us over to show us the meat and the specials before sitting down. The food was great. my wife is gluten free but there were plenty of options and the waiter was really knowledgeable of the whole menu.

Came here as a treat with my mother. I’m a fan of Wagyu beef so was excited to try their A5 Wagyu. I have to say the steak was lovely no doubt but not the best A5 Wagyu I’ve had and the price was probably the most expensive. The ambiance of the restaurant was an eloquent, premium feel. The waiting staff were okay, had no issues as they did a standard job. The thing that drives this to a 3 star for me was the value for money, it’s very over priced. If you want a classy night out and don’t mind a very high premium price tag for low premium quality this the place for you.

A very warm space for a couples date night out. We had Joe attending to us for the evening. He was very kind and took us through the selection of meat and fish available. The steak was well done as requested and also loved the troufle hand cut chips. My boyfriend ordered the sea bass which was well cooked. The mock tails were great and are definitely worth going back for!

Always a great experience. Amazing food and friendly staff.

If I was able to rate this restaurant a 0, I would. We arrived at the restaurant in a large group of 12 for my friends 29th. The look and feel of the restaurant was great and we were excited before eating, this is where it started to go downhill… After being seated it took around 20/30 minutes to take our order. We booked for the lunch menu, but after being seated we had apparently missed the cut-off for this. Thankfully they reluctantly agreed to honouring this. I called ahead on the day and they said they did corkage at £15 a bottle - fine - however after having 2 bottles, the waitress rudely came over and said we weren’t able to have any more bottles for corkage - embarrassing start, clearly they have poor internal communication - it was only worse from here. The waitress recommended the pollo Milanese which I can only describe as an oversized chicken nugget and chips, for a premium restaurant this glorified happy meal was pants, and didn’t have the slightest bit of green or sauce on the plate. It also took around 45/60 minutes to come out, and we weren’t even allowed to drink our own wine whilst we waited. She took another 20/30 minutes after we ate to take our dessert order which actually was the best part of the meal - tiramisu - 9/10. When the bill came, they had accidentally charged us for some drinks that had already been paid for at the bar, and the coffees that were supposed to come with the lunch menu, whilst they admitted to the coffee - they would not refund us for the drinks they had clearly overcharged us for. We were a large group but the restaurant was pretty empty, so no excuse for the poor service we had. We spent around 3 hours in there and all we had to show for it was a hefty bill for average food, and poor service. Would not reccomend and will not be going back.

Easily the best food I have ever eaten. I had the rack of lamb and my partner had the T-bone steak, neither of us could fault a thing. The service was amazing too so will definitely be going back. Was more pricey than your average restaurant but it’s worth it for the quality of the food and the atmosphere.

I cannot recommend this place enough. The owner Joe guided us through the menu and the specials explaining how everything was completely fresh and all the steaks/wagus were all luxe. The quality was just out of this world. You’d expect this place in London. Just the best and we will be back. Best restaurant in the south west. Beautiful interior and just screams LUXURY.

Me and my husband just came back from an AMAZING meal here. Amazing very attentive staff, absolutely incredible food, and the atmosphere is absolutely wonderful. We both had huge T-bone steaks and they were amazing. 1000/10 will definitely be back. A big shout out to Joe for incredible hospitality.

WOW. What an experience. We've eaten from the a la carte menu before, but this was our first Sunday Roast experience, and it did not disappoint. The service is first class, and the Roast was SUBLIME. Succulent pork belly, goose fat potatoes and an ABUNDANCE of vegetables. . The meat carved at the table was a wonderful touch. Joe and his team are brilliant at what they do. Thank you. Liza

Excellent food and knowledgeable staff (they really know everything about what they're serving!). All the food was fresh and perfectly cooked. Friendly and upscale atmosphere, would be perfect for a special celebration or night before a cruise departs.

We happened to find this restaurant on Google as we were over this way for an event and I am super glad we picked here! The Wagyu beef roast was incredible, everything was so tasty. Then to finish it off we had the homemade banoffee pie and omg, it was also the best banoffee pie we’ve had! The staff were also very friendly! Gutted this restaurant isn’t closer to where we live but we will 100% be coming back here again!

Couldn’t have been more accommodating. Fantastic service, great atmosphere and the best lasagne ever.

Fantastic. Had some amazing scallops (quite hot), the best seafood risotto and a lovely chocolate orange cheesecake. Staff were all very attentive and we even had a free showing of the flambé on the table next to us. Highly recommended.

We wanted somewhere special for my husbands birthday meal as a family. It was a great night out - stunning premises with a great attention to detail on quality throughout. From the V & B crystal glasses on the table, coupled with the fresh food specials and a wide selection of Italian food and Bin end wines, it did not disappoint. My flambé crepes Suzette by Joe was a real show stopper and they even created a birthday special dessert for my husband and sang Happy Birthday! If you want a quality experience and a good night guaranteed, this is the place to go for great food, service and smiles!

I've run out of superlatives. Astonishing food. My new favourite place.

The head waiter looked after us like a treat knows his fish and meat well recommended venue

Excellent meal. Had the one of the best ribeye steaks I've ever had here! For some reason it was better than the t-bone, filet and even the Wagyu steaks that my friends had. Highly recommend the chorizo rigatoni as well. Generally, I would say the wagyu wasn't quite worth the price but delicious nonetheless.

We went here for my husband’s birthday and we are both very happy with our experience. It is definitely high end prices and we were prepared for that as we’ve looked at the menu and read the reviews prior to booking. The room is cozy and elegant but not pretentious. The service was already great initially and it continued to just get better. The host/server showed us the available items off menu and went over the expectations for the meals, how some are cooked, etc. We decided to order the mixed steak selection with the additional Japanese Wagyu, a few sides, and a bottle of Malbec. It was me, my husband, and 4 year old son and the meal was definitely big enough for all for us to share, granted that my son ate pretty well that night. When our order came out, I was disappointed that it was overcooked although we have ordered medium. I let our host and server know and they were very kind and apologetic about it. I appreciate that they advocated for us and made sure that we had a great dining experience. They took away the platter and replaced it with a better one that certainly met our expectations. Not only did they served us freshly grilled steak, but they also served us fresh sides too, which was beyond what we expected. The food quality was great, although my husband feels he should have ordered the wagyu to be medium rare rather than medium, but the rest of the steak however— everything was impeccable. The flavors were excellent and I didn’t find it too overpowering. Normally I find my jaws getting tired from chewing this amount of steak but their steak was not chewy at all. It was cooked perfectly this time around. The rocket salad with parmesan was my favorite side, I didn’t expect much as I’ve been served really bland ones across UK but this one certainly did not disappoint. We are delighted with the meal and the service that we will definitely be coming back. At the end of our meal, they brought out a lovely panacotta and sang happy birthday to my husband. Please note the photo I posted is the first platter that they took away. Ocean Grill is definitely not somewhere you could just go to on a regular, given the price range, but if you decide to go on a special occasion, I would say it’s quite worth the price. There is something about their service that just adds a little more extra to what they already offer. Big thanks to our servers and chef that made my husband’s birthday very memorable for all 3 of us.

We visited 'Ocean Grill Italiano' tonight and everything was spot on. The atmosphere, the service, the quality of the wine glasses and cutlery couldn't have been bettered. We drank Cotes de Provence rose snd 'Picpoul de Pinet' and they were delicious. We couldn't resit the Wagyu Beef with parmesan and roasted peppers as starters and it lived up to its expectations. For mains, my wife opted for another starter of prawns which she loved and I went for the Swordfish which deserves all the positive expletives possible - it was wonderful. Without doubt, this is one of the best meals I have eaten for a long time and even though pricier than some restaurants, in my view it is worth every penny. Superb!

Great place, great food and great service

We were in Southampton for our son's graduation and booked the Ocean Grill. The reviews seemed good but as we had not been there before, we did not know what to expect. It was great. Very hospitable welcome. Great menu ... we had difficulty choosing what to eat ... and a great drinks menu. I was driving so I did not partake but my family all had the Penecillan cocktail. They said it was great. We all had different meals and we all loved them. The service was also excellent. So thoroughly recommend you going to the Ocean Grill if you are in Southampton

We went for Sunday Lunch and it was the best Sunday Lunch we have ever had. Really good value, fabulous meat, organic veg, the most amazing goose fat roast potatoes and super cheesy cauliflower cheese. I definitely recommend you try it.

Very good italian food (tried the lasagne and different pasta). Very kind staff, family-friendly.

Polite but lax service. Cramped tables in an otherwise nicely fitted out dining area. Long wait times with no explanation in a half empty restaurant. Prices are fine dining, execution is more chain restaurant.

Great service. Staff are very welcoming and engaging

Joe and Katarina went above and beyond!!! Hospitality and 5 start service… thank you for a going above and beyond!! You took the time to develop a relationship and provide an outstanding experience. Highly recommended

Travel there for Business. Nice Vibe, Nice Steaks, even the sides are delicious. Wanna try the Scallops too but I only have one belly to fill. Could be a bit Pricey, but you will definitely feel every penny well spent

We had a great evening, highly recommended

Great service , food was amazing worth every penny , definitely will be back and highly recommend .

Delicious food! We did wait a little while for the food but it was worth it!! Lovely evening out and we look forward to returning soon

Went here today, well what can I say 🙈 was so disappointing although the food wasn’t bad it was very over priced. For starters we had a sharing platter followed by the steak sharing platter as our main and 2 drinks each. We had only...

Lovely ambiance, scallops & steak cooked really well. Ordered surf & turf with a whole lobster because its a special dinner. Menu with half a lobster is £55 so add £25 to get a whole lobster. Something happened with half of the lobster so they replaced it with a prawn instead without asking me 1st if I would like that so this for me is not a good customer service. Don't just assume that customers are ok with replacing something if its not available. I could have just returned the prawn but its already been cooked and on my plate so I thought it's a waste if I return the prawn. Pls next time check with your customers coz you can't uncook something!

Excellent restaurant in the heart of Ocean Village. Fresh offerings by chef who understands the "grill" aspects. Front of house is welcoming in a beautiful atmosphere. With only 10 days in town this was best restaurant we visited.

Really nice place, well looked after in detail and particularly refined. Excellent choice on the menu, very good Italian cuisine (and I'm Italian). I didn't like the meat, I asked for it rare (blue) and it arrived medium rare. Prices a little high

If you're a meat eater and a general lover of food and drink all catered to by excellent service then please come to ocean grill. You will NOT be disappointed. If you live in Southampton and haven't been here you are missing out. Food 5star, ambience 5star, staff 5star!

Food was absolutely excellent. We had scallops beef Wellington and oysters. I can honestly say outstanding service was unbelievable joe and he’s team are so polite food is unbelievable thank you

I had the ribeye steak, was the best steak I have ever had! So tender and the sides complemented well. My wife head fillet and Madagascan prawns, she said they were amazing. Overall the meal was pricey but so good it didn’t matter! Would return...

Another great evening of high quality food and stunning service in the beautifully decorated Ocean Grill. The table flambé dishes showcase skill and add flair and to the experience. Thank you Joe and team for a lovely evening.
