Some of the worst I've ever had. My waitress Julia tried to say everyone has particular crab cakes tastes, but I told her these crab cakes were burnt and objectively bad. I will note that the mussels and soup were good. The Grouper and Wahoo were just okay. Overall this is a spot that you come to enjoy happy hour at as the drinks were good, but don't come expecting delicious food.

There is no view of the marina or ocean, but the seating is all open air and they play great classic rock. The drink menu is limited but they have a full bar so you just need to ask for what you want. I started with the Reef Island IPA which is a very tasty and smooth IPA. The wife had a rum punch which she said was weak. For food, the kid had a burger but did not like it because it needed seasoning. I tried a bite and agreed. The fries were crispy. For entrees, the wife and I each had fish tacos: mine, blackened; hers, grilled, Mine were much better. Both were tasty and hit the spot. For $19, it was reasonable. I would order them again. Service was very attentive and friendly. They automatically add 20% tip to the bill, plus 4% for credit cards. So you don't have add any tip unless you want to. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the restaurant and the relaxed atmosphere.

I ordered the shrimp tacos, and the food tasted like it may have been frozen and reheated in the microwave. The jerk chicken also did not taste authentic -- it seemed like regular barbecue sauce was poured straight from the bottle over chicken.

They literally asked for the napkins in our laps and tried to take our water glasses. By 8:45, they closed the awnings/cloth shutters. We weren't even offered dessert. They practically kicked us out of the restaurant. The experience was so negative that it would make me not return. Food was fine/average but not great. Burger was good. Fried seafood platter was huge (though the calamari wasn't very good). Buffalo cauliflower was not very good--flavor of the breading was off and it was grainy. The setting is lovely, but it can't overcome the terrible customer service.

You get half of a whole lobster, split straight down the middle, served with seasoned rice, fried plantains, and summer squash. I loved the curry sauce served on top, and wished I got a little more to put on my rice. I was heartbroken to hear that I had missed the last shipment of Red Horse beer, which if available, I highly recommend ordering it with your meal. It's brewed in the Philippines, and is absolutely delightful. As usual, staff was attentive and polite. Our waitress even cracked a few jokes that made my table laugh. Indoor seating is scarce, but I honestly would prefer to sit outside and eat here cause the AC is blasting.

This could be a good romantic dinner or good for a group. It has the ability to meet all your vacation needs and good food! For the people siting issues with the service, this place is on island time. It's not a bad thing but just don't try to be in a rush. You are taken care of it just may take a little longer than you would have thought. Everyone says get the curry lobster. Let me be the next to say...get the curry lobster! I don't love curry at all, but get the curry lobster! It's such a good balance of sweet coconut with a cream sauce that just works so well with the explosion of flavors going on. The whole mixture is stuffed back in the lobster shell for an awesome presentation. Overall, take the taxi ride to enjoy this local fare, you definitely won't be disappointed!

The ambiance is hard to beat--dining right by the water with the ocean breeze and a beautiful sunset feels like a postcard moment. The menu was decent but definitely on the pricey side. I had my heart set on the crab legs, but unfortunately, they were out. I ended up going with the lobster instead. I chose the small size, but was surprised to be charged the highest price point, which felt more in line with a medium. The lobster itself was decent--not bad, but nothing to rave about either. We did enjoy the garlic bread though! When the bill came, we couldn't help but feel like the overall value didn't quite match the price point. Food and service were both average--nothing that stood out in a big way. That said, if you're here for the scenic evening experience and not necessarily wowed by the food, this might be the spot for you.

On the…read moreother, our last visit was quite bad that it's making me think about whether this place should be a 5-star or not. Based on food alone, this place merits nothing less than a 5-star. The services on the other hand were borderline. Ocean 180 is an upscale restaurant located in Point Pleasant resort. Husband was super excited to book the condo knowing that he would not have to drive around in search of a nice restaurant to bring me to for a couple of dinners during vacation. They have a brunch on Sundays which led us to our very first visit there. Nestled between tropical vegetation, the place screams peaceful dining experience and it was. We came right around the time they opened for brunch at 9am and we were immediately seated. Our view was perfect, a bit of the cool breeze and a mimosa were like icing on a cake. The waitress came by, took drink orders and told us there is another wait staff in training who will be assisting. He took over mostly after that. I ordered the pork belly which came with 2 fried eggs, crisp smashed potatoes and a simple salad. My husband had the tropical chopped salad served with creamy mango dressing. My pork belly was delicious, the potatoes were seasoned well and even the simple salad, was worth its own recognition. Yes, this place knows how to make great food! Minor mishap, the waiter in training was addressing my husband the whole time while I was trying to pay our bill and even brought my card back to my husband when it clearly has my name on it. Made me feel a bit weird as we're in 2025, not the 1950s. Okay. So, second visit was for dinner. I made reservations then got a call around 4pm to tell me that due to technical difficulties, they are only able to accept cash. Do I still want to keep my reservation? Yes. Fortunately, we carried some cash this vacation with the foresight of possibly needing them for local vendors and such. Again, we got in and seated quickly. Our waitress was fabulous and checked on us. My husband had the smoked old fashioned. It came in a contraption that was smoky. Very cool. I had a cocktail - the exotic tides which was gin, ginger, muddled cucumber and basil. I ordered the whole fish grilled and her butter basted with some ginger escabeche. Okay, this dish blew my mind. Also, I was really wanting to order a whole fish for one of my meals as I do not get to do this often anymore living in Midwest and I think I picked the best place who did this dish justice. My husband had the Morrocan braised lamb shank and he loved it! We ended our wonderful dinner with a chocolate creme brulee topped with toasted almond slivers. Absolutely delicious. We should have ended with this evening because it would not have tainted my perception. But, we came back in on our last evening. Sadly, our experience on the last night was like day and night. We made reservations as usual, got seated quickly but took a little while for our waiter to come and take our drink orders. We sat and sat and waited then he finally emerged and spoke about the special. We eventually ordered drinks. I got a glass of wine, my husband was quite tired so he asked if they had iced tea, waiter said no. It took about 20 minutes for a glass of wine and maybe another 15 for him to come back and take our orders. We were hungry, there was a heavy storm blowing in, we got wet because it was so windy and the little cover kept flapping to the point where it was letting water in, not to mention a leak on top of our table causing water to start dripping on my head. We ordered everything all at once from appetizer to our meal once the waiter remembered to come back. We got our appetizer another 30 minutes later while we miserably sat getting wet and getting cold. When we finally got our food, I wasn't in the greatest mood. I ordered another glass of wine which surprisingly came faster than the last time. It took a very long time for my husband to get a refill on his water. Only until another guy who was running around trying to bring food to the tables, when he noticed my husband's water glass was empty, he promptly came to refill. He wasn't our waiter. We didn't see much of our waiter. I am not needy and don't generally ask for too many things but making sure people have drinks while they eat is basic like breathing. Our food came out good but I already had a sour taste in my mouth due to the horrible service. For this visit, we started with the crudo, their fish on special that evening. It was delicious and we tried to enjoy and savor the flavor, as much as two starving people can. I had the local grouper with roasted PEI mussels. Again, delicious. We skipped dessert for fear that it would take another 30 minutes to get one and the experience had exhausted me at this point.

Best service on the island. Definitely a genuine upscale restaurant on the East End of ST. Service…read morewas great and they were attentive to water and wine refills. Servers knew the wine list well. While there were some mosquitos (it had just rained) they had bug spray available. There was a cat walking in the outdoor space and my kiddo was obsessed!

The pasta was perfectly cooked, as well as the fish. Portions are generous. Appetizers were all very tasty and unique in their flavor profiles. This is a must try if you're on the island.
