   I was really disappointed with my recent visit to this restaurant. We started with a few appetizers, including an octopus dish that was actually quite good. Because we enjoyed it, we ordered a second one but the second serving was a completely different story. It looked like it was thrown together from scraps and was severely overcooked. For the main course, I ordered two New York steaks cooked medium. Instead, we were served two well-done ribeyes. I let the food runner know the order was wrong, and he brought over our waitress. She offered to let us keep the ribeyes while they remade the correct steaks. I told her to just make one New York steak instead of two. About 20 minutes later, it finally arrived and it was rare, nowhere near medium. When the manager came to check on the steak, she didn’t apologize or take responsibility. Instead, she said, “It looks medium to me,” even though it clearly wasn’t. That dismissive attitude only made things worse. To make it even more frustrating, the restaurant was nearly empty — only three tables were occupied on Memorial Day. If this is the level of service when it’s slow, I can’t imagine how bad it would be when they’re actually busy. After that, no one came back to check on us. I had to get up and ask for the check myself. The same waitress who made the original mistake dropped it off without a word. No one cleared our plates, offered dessert, or made any effort to make up for the experience. They only comped the ribeye and the second octopus dish — the ones we didn’t enjoy — which felt like the absolute bare minimum given how poorly the night went. The service was careless, the food inconsistent, and the management lacked any sense of accountability. A sincere apology, a complimentary dessert, or any gesture to show they valued our business would’ve gone a long way. Instead, it felt like they simply didn’t care.

   Went for a meeting. The meat was excellent, I recommend aged meat. For the sides we order Mac and Cheese and the fries. Also the service was excellent.

   We wanted a proper steakhouse dinner and we had it! And despite it being a Sunday night on a holiday weekend, we basically had wonderful Sean taking care of us as if we were at his home. I didn’t order a truly special steak because my dinner companion ordered the SPECTACULAR grilled chicken. Sean talked me through selecting a smaller cut that was delicious — he knew how to get me to what I would love. Delicious sauces. Delicious dessert. Nice wine list priced too high as are all American restaurant wine lists. The place should be full every night. Go!

    Great service, great views ,great food. We’ve been coming to this restaurant for seven or eight years now, the staff is wonderful. They always have a big smile on their faces and are very polite and nice. Food wise I don’t think you get a better value. We usually start off with a shrimp cocktail, which is enough for two people. Even a half order is a lot of food. On this visit, we had the surf and turf where the lobster was excellent, and the fillet was tender and tasty. We also had the New York steak, which was very flavorful and very tasty. Many steak places tend to over salt the meat, not here. I highly recommend the mushrooms which are always good and for dessert we finished off with the bread pudding, which is one of my favorite desserts in the entire city. The wine list is extensive and not overpriced like a lot of upscale restaurants are. Meet on Ocean is so much better than a lot of these overpriced steak restaurants where you’re paying 80 or $100 for a steak which is drenched in salt not at meat. We will continue to go back.
