    We had the 4 course Mothers Day menu. We tried 8 different offerings between the two of us. The vichysosoise, burrata, oysters, lobster dish and desserts were oustsnding. The one large negative was the rack of lamb. It was over cooked and had the strong taste of mutton. Still a great overall holiday experience and i will go back

    Ocean always does a great job with experiences, such as Easter lunch, Thanksgiving dinner….. and Mother’s Day lunch was no exception. Great menu with lots of choices and well executed (the lamb maybe a bit on the rare side….) and flawless service as always.

    Make sure you have a big lunch first. The portions were small and I expected that, but the food was mediocre at best. My husband had the lobster bisque and he couldn’t eat it all, it was watery and tasted burned. I had the New York strip, and I was looking for a salt shaker on the table to give it some flavor. It was very bland . And I do have to say that the scallops or a scallop cut in half  was not enough for a cat to eat. The view is beautiful. The tables are lovely covered in linen. We used to eat here years ago in the late 90s and the food was excellent then and very enjoyable.

    We attended the black truffle dinner evening. I want to recognize Amanda as a wonderful server. She is polite, friendly and a great wine sommelier. Although we loved the food, we were very disappointed in the lack of truffle flavor. All the dishes were described on the menu as containing black truffle. When Amanda served them to us, she described the dishes with truffles and we even saw truffle in the courses. However, to our pallet, there was no truffle flavor at all. I recognize black truffles are less pungent than the white, however, we cook with black truffles all the time at home and are very used to truffle flavor. We have eaten here before and enjoyed it, but we came specifically for the black truffle dinner because we adore truffles. For an almost $400 bill we did not feel the value was there. For that reason, I did not give five stars.
