   We had an absolutely wonderful experience celebrating our anniversary at 21 Oceanfront! The service was outstanding—the staff was warm and attentive and made us feel truly special from start to finish. The food was delicious, and the elegant oceanfront ambience made the evening unforgettable. I highly recommend it for a memorable night out!

   It’s been years since we been here and we now remember all the very adult things we enjoyed here. With all the newer trendy restaurants it’s good to know a real classic place still exists with good food, service, and leather booths awaits a dress up night. 21 Oceanfront is back on the list.

   It was my wife's and I anniversary and decided on this restaurant. When we arrive, there was a nice old style elegance to it, we were seated almost immediately, but that's as far and as fast as the service took. We waited seated for about 15 mins before receiving menu's. People that arrived after we did, received their menus within 5 mins. We finally got our menu's and oldered a few drinks. The drinks were fine, then we ordered our food, which took about 25 mins to arrive - for a steak and Chillean Seabass. My wife's fish felt a bit cold, like they prepared her meal before my steak. I then asked for water and it took the waiter roughly 8-10 mins to find pitcher to refill our glasses. At the end, we were just tired of the lack of service and my wife decided to get a chocolate souffle, they told us it would take 25 mins, so we stayed for dessert. Apparantly, there was now an issue with the oven and had to re-do our dessert, but we did not know this until I stopped the waiter and asked about it. Lack of communication is something rhat really upsets me and this place had a ton of that. I would not recommend this place nor would I travel the 40 miles to eat here again. Extremely bad experience on our anniversary date.

   Dinner was delicious I had the filet and my husband had the 16 oz rib eye. We also shared the Caesar salad and the au gratin potatoes. Everything was delicious and piping hot which was amazing. The icing on the cake was the live music, the gentleman that was playing the piano and singing did such a great job and had an awesome voice. Overall the experience was a 10/10 and to make it even better they gave us a complimentary anniversary dessert.

   It was our first time to dine at 21 Oceanfront and I would say the ambience very nice and food was excellent but our only complain was the server that waited on us was sub par. We ordered the scallop and was served a crab cake. And when we asked about certain dishes he couldn't really give any details. But over all the place is great, hopefully we will have a better experience next time.

   We made a reservation and we were seated on time. We had a nice table that faced the ocean. We ordered two lemon drop martinis and they were fantastic. We ordered Escargot, Lobster Bisque, Chichilen Sea Bass and a Filet Mignon and a piece of Basque Cheese Cake. Everything was wonderful. The service was great our waiter took very good care of us. A great dinning experience.

   For that truly elegant and delicious old-school experience, this institution delivers. The service is intuitive and gracious and the food is both comforting and spectacular. Perfect for a special occasion — or if you just want to channel your inner Frank Sinatra.
