The staff was very attentive to all 16 of us from the time we arrived. The food was excellent from cocktails to appetizers to the main course to dessert. Be sure to try the Olive Oil Cake! This will be one of our highlights of our Christmas in Florida.

I recently heard of the Ocean Club and have been twice. It is a wonderful experience and a step back in time that reminds me of old Florida. We took some friends on our last visit, and they loved it. Excellent food only surpassed by the outstanding service.
