This was a fantastic date spot due to the gorgeous ocean view and fancy decor/vibe! This restaurant is located within a venue space used for weddings and graduations etc, so the price is up there. It was a hot summer day when we went, and we were lucky to get a spot on the outdoor deck upstairs that had shade. The drinks were good, and the food was cooked well. Portion sizes were lacking given the price point, though the presentation was nice. Again, this is a wedding venue. There isn't much to do in this area other than a few waterside restaurants and private beaches, so I'm not sure I would come back unless I'm looking to spend some time gazing at the view and having some drinks with friends or a significant other. read more

You definitely pay for the view and not so much for the food. It's a really nice location, especially during the summer. Food was mid, and service was good. Wait staff were nice but the host and the manager were rude and obnoxious. I would've given it a 3-star review simply for the location but the manager made our experience much worse. The whole restaurant was empty for our 5.30 reservation. We were seated in the back corner. When asked if we could sit at a table near the water, he responded by saying those tables are for regular customers -- there is definitely a better way to say it if that was even true to begin with. By the time we left, 80% of those tables were still empty. Dude looked half drunk and I'm really shocked they have a person like that running a restaurant that is supposed to be somewhat upscale. Never going back read more

I was looking for a nice place for lunch with my girlfriends. It such a beautiful restaurant inside and out. Food was good but could be better. But still decent. Drinks were great. They have a great selection of drinks. A little disappointed that you could not go to the beach from the restaurant. I thought we would be able to take pictures but instead we just took pictures on the deck. I would definitely go back read more

Summertime means Mr. Lee is back! Hands down the best sushi on Long Island! You don't need a reservation to sit at the sushi bar. You can sit at the sushi bar or at a table around it. The view is spectacular! It's fun sitting at the sushi bar. You become friends with everyone who sits there! We love sitting there chatting with Mr. Lee and making new friends. Lisa the waitress is so fun and personable! It's the only sushi restaurant we go to in the summer. Too bad Mr. Lee isn't here year round! read more

The good: good food, great drinks. The mussels with spicy lobster cream were lovely. Our drinks were good as well. We ordered the pink Paloma, which was slight bitter in a good way, and the lychee rose martini. The views of the Long Island Sound were also great. This is a wonderful place to take pictures and have drinks. The bad: Our server, treated us differently than the tables around us. When we said we would take a moment to look over our food options after ordering drinks, Kat loudly informed us that we had to order food as we were sitting at a table, not a bar. Here's the kicker: the table next to us ordered drinks. She said they had to order food; they said they were only here for happy hour (as were we) she said she would see what they could do. They were allowed to order only drinks. This pattern continued; she loudly spoke to us in a rude way that ultimately made us cancel our dinner reservation and go somewhere else for lobster rolls. Ultimately: the preferential treatment for some tables vs others was problematic. I don't believe I would return. I wanted to love this place, as I often go for hikes around here, but I will go somewhere else for good views and food. read more

David, Ariana, and Gia all made our dining experience fantastic, 5 stars! Lobster rolls were fantastic

We ate at the restaurant Friday night and our experience was amazing As soon as we pulled up, the valet was super friendly and so was the manager, Mel. When we went to check in he had a smile on his face and had us seated immediately. Kelly was our server and couldn't have done a better job. Her menu recommendations were spot on and we even needed extra care because our son-in-law has celiac disease (severe gluten allergy) and she double checked to make sure that everything that we ordered would be safe for him to eat. Everything came out quickly and was all delicious. The atmosphere, service, drinks and food made us feel like we were on vacation! read more

Had the most amazing time at Ocean for my birthday as a party of 10 this past Saturday. The food, views, and service were immaculate. Also had their tuna tartare special which was to die for, I hope it can stay permanently on the menu. I am so grateful for the experience. Definitely going back next month!!! read more

Okay, so I see this restaurant has an average of three stars but we definitely had a great experience that I would like to share. We had came from my brothers birthday and had asked to sit outside. Originally we were told it would be an hour wait but for whatever reason we were seated within the next 15 minutes. We had ordered oysters, calamari, steamed mussels and four entrées lobster, and a tuna roll, and everything tasted so fresh! Drinks - because you can't forget that.., every single drink that we had ordered was delicious! That includes the lychee martini, the watermelon martini, jalapeño margarita, Old fashion, and the strawberry mule!!! Overall we had a great experience with an amazing view!! I'd definitely return! read more

Come here if you want to eat with a view!!! My husband and I had dinner last night and came before the sunset and also saw it during dinner which was great! We had the rack of lamb and burrata for apps (both delicious) and he had the house special which was a really great swordfish (delicious) with wild rice and couscous and I had the lobster roll (which was good, could have been better) and then had the strawberry shortcake (which was just whipped cream strawberries and a biscuit, did not really love). There was a wedding so we weren't able to go downstairs by the beach area but had a lovely time nonetheless. View and place is great. The food is OK but not bad. Hate having to share the bathroom with wedding guests since there is only one bathroom for the restaurant and venues. Other than that, we love it here. read more

It's a beautiful setting and good food, however it is over-priced and the wait staff are untrained kids. They got almost everything wrong about our order, had immature attitudes, and didn't know how to handle problems. They need to be much better trained. It's unpleasant. read more

Outdoor dining was beautiful, however nothing else was. Our reservation was for 7:45, we came in at 7:40. The hostess tells us that she will seat us at time of our reservation and we can go upstairs and have a drink while we wait. While we wait for 5 minutes? No thanks. They went outside to check if there was an empty table. Next time instead of making as if us coming 5 minutes earlier than our reservation the problem just be straight up and say that the table isn't ready. People would appreciate the honesty more. Sat down asked for napkins came after the food was finished. Food came late, salmon was salty, lobster linguine was just sour and had no flavor, on top of that the lobster was rock hard. A party was there I guess, and the whole dining area reeked of weed.. Told the waitress and said she can't control it. Nice. Maybe would be a good place just to have drinks and enjoy the view, make sure to come with your stomach full though. read more

First of all, we live very close to Ocean and haven't been there for years, but "Big Mistake...BIG". We had the best time tonight, with incredibly fresh sushi/seafood and impeccable service! Emily, our server, was absolutely AMAZING! She and her partner( a young lady studying law at Stoneybrook U.-missed her name) made sure our dining experience was flawless! We had stopped going to Ocean a few years back when the service and attitude was " so-so" and the customer was more like an annoyance than a guest, but that has definitely changed. Plus, the sushi was ridiculously fresh! THANK YOU, Mr. Lee! Wow! Tonight, we felt like we were on vacation. Everyone was friendly, the food was delicious, and the views seemed straight out of the best, island vacation resort. Who knew that we could skip the airfare and hotel and feel like we were on a beautiful, island. Oh wait, we are.... Long Island! Probably making this our new place to be. read more

Relaxing place with a great ocean view for friends and family. Good drink, OK food. My friend made a reservation in advance since it was already booked (except one spot) for the weekend. This place is located near the beach and has an amazing view. They have a big window inside of the restaurant, but I think the best way to enjoy it is to sit outside. We ordered mussels as an appetizer and lobster roll, lamb chop, and seafood & zucchini pasta as main dishes. Drinks were good, but food was OK. Maybe after seeing the view, my expectations were little too high. Their signature drink seems to be "Piña colada", "Watermelon Martini" and "Strawberry Lemon Moscow Mule" as a lot of people were ordering those 3 drinks - and my favorite was Piña colada. Service was good and all the staff members were friendly and attentive. I recommend this place for those who want to spend afternoon with a good view & good drinks. Other tips! *Valet parking *They have both indoor and outdoor dining *For outdoor dining, ask for a table with parasol *Wedding reception available read more

Today was a super special day, my best friend invited me to lunch today for my 50th birthday at the Ocean restaurant in Bayville. It is an honor for me to recommend this beautiful place. The restaurant is beautiful, an incredible view of the sea, impeccable service, the waiters and assistants are phenomenal, the manager James's customer service is impressive. The food is delicious, gourmet is great, the liquors are phenomenal and the most beautiful thing is that the people there make you feel that you are special As u are. I recommend this beautiful place, I really don't have more words to say how happy it was to be there for the first time, a thousand congratulations. It is an honor to be able to return and feel the kindness provided, with love Diego and Audrey. read more

A friend of mine showed me a social media post for Ocean. The view looked so great we had to try it. Thankfully, it was equidistant from each of us and therefore the perfect spot to meet up. The drive leading to the place is a pleasant one and the parking lot on the premises is a big plus. The menu was really wide ranging and the food was good. We had the Cajun chicken sandwich, shrimp tacos, calamari etc. No complaints here it was all pretty solid. We had a pair of drinks as well. Some of the reviews mention how expensive they were but being from NYC I didn't feel the prices were out of the norm. The truth is you're probably paying a little bit of a premium for the view/experience. The restaurant requires reservations and limits time at each table to 90 minutes as part of their COVID19 precautions. In addition, our server did wear a mask. The tables themselves were spread out the requisite 6 Ft. on the outdoor deck but with the configuration we sat in, diners do end up sitting back to back within a 6 Ft. bubble (i.e. closer than 6Ft). I'm not sure how they can adjust the table configuration to fix this flaw. It helps that you're in the open air but I was thinking about it the whole time. We stayed for several hours past lunch time but since it wasn't crazy busy our server was gracious enough to let us hang out a little bit. I wish I remembered her name. She deserves special mention (she had curly blonde hair). We asked whether or not we could check out the seating on the beach but were told that the area was reserved for special events for groups (huge bummer)! If I had to boil this review down to a few lines I would say the place deserves a visit but mostly for the view and the service. Incidentally, one of my coworkers visited soon after I did and they concurred but... you be the judge. read more
