    Ocean Lounge is island dining at its absolute best. Delicious food with attentive staff without being fussy and pretentious. The dishes were flavorful and complex, yet still light. The cocktails were also varied and delicious.

    We were staying at Holland House so had dinner here the first night. I got the grilled chicken which was tender and adequate and my husband had the lobster risotto which was not that great. Little tiny chunks of lobster and more risotto. I tried it and tasted fishy to me which should not be the case. If you stay at this hotel I highly recommend the little beach bar next door called Nu Love. Food is excellent and drinks both very reasonably priced as well and better quality all around.

    Dear Kim, Thank you for dining with us. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear that the lobster risotto did not meet your expectations. We strive to provide the best flavors and quality in every dish, and we will take your comments into consideration. We are glad you enjoyed the grilled chicken and hope to welcome you back for another meal that truly delights. Wishing you a wonderful stay at Holland House!

    Nourriture et ambiance excellente. Notre serveur très courtois mais il a du nous aviser d’un erreur en cuisine ce qui a occasionné un très long delais entre les entrées et les plats principaux. Nous devrions être avisé avant que l’hôtel charge 10% de frais sur la facture.
    Ocean Lounge @ Holland HouseResponded on February 18, 2025
    Thank you for your kind words about our food and ambiance. We apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience. Regarding the 10% service charge, this is standard and is clearly stated on all our online menus. We value your feedback and look forward to welcoming you again for a seamless experience.
