    Gimlets
    Mike M.

    One of our favorite restaurants in this area. Staff is always super friendly and efficient and their food is consistently on point. Oh...and they make a really tasty vodka gimlet...which not a lot of places can do. Great location right on the water w seating inside and out. If you're looking for a nice place for an amazing meal...this is it!!

    It's been quite some time since I've been back here, so time for an update. Came here for my friend Lisa's birthday lunch and I was excited to try it out again and hang out by their pool. It's definitely a unique experience to have lunch and a swimming pool at the same place. Coming on a Thursday was great. The pool was relaxing, the water was warm, & the server by the pool was very helpful and made sure everyone was taken care of. That was def the best part. We had a frozona blue drink which was very refreshing and an ice cream sundae. Lunch time, we came right when they first opened at 11. We were the first one there and it quickly filled up. We ordered a ribeye with fries and a crab soup. They were quite enjoyable. Our inside service wasn't great compared to outside. As soon as we would have a question, our server was walking away and it was difficult to track her down for anything. We were deciding upon getting the pineapple creme brûlée for dessert, but we knew that would take forever, so changed our mind. I think 3.5 star average for this restaurant is pretty accurate. I can't do half stars and I would if I could bc the server at the pool was much friendlier and helpful. It was my friend's birthday and I'm glad that we had a good time nevertheless.

    Grouper sandwich w/veggies

    Family came here for our last meal before heading back home and we love it here. Large food menu with seafood, chicken, salads, etc. we love the outdoor space and sitting on the patio by the boats. Service is also always great! Fast and friendly.

    Grilled grouper sandwich with really delicious potato salad - taste as good as homemade!

    I was so surprised with Yelp only had this restaurant at 3.6 star. Kara was a wonderful waitress, both patient and knowledgeable. I had the 1 pound peel and eat shrimp hot with butter, my sister's had the fried grouper sandwich and the grilled grouper sandwich and both were fabulous, and we shared a large wedge salad with shrimp which was delicious - all so amazing. I love the fact they have valet parking, and the views of the they were beautiful. It's a very likely place with both inside air-conditioning seating, outside fan seating, and cabana seating. Such and enjoyable lunch!

    Shrimp scampi linguine

    This was my first time at Ozona after I had heard it recommended many times. They had a good wine list and a great menu. I had the shrimp scampi linguine and it was enough for dinner that night +2 to 3 leftover meals. It was just a really solid pasta dish with excellent sauce and the shrimp was done perfectly.

    This is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. Fresh food, friendly staff with a clean area. They have a pool and hot tub for you to jump in and have a drink by a pool or just dine and enjoy the marina view. Valet parking is available or you can park yourself. Tons of seating and everything I've ever had has been amazing. Good pours and great flavor

    Appetizer - Fire Cracker Shrimp ( 14.90 @ 10-23-2025 )
    Braden W.

    As some other recent reviewers have reported your experience may vary. Front desk staff was friendly, bar staff where we sat to eat and drink seemed to only care about certain guests. My brothers have been here alot and couldn't stop singing their praises but the night we went was a completely different experience. We practically had to do a dance on the bar to get attention to get another drink. (they are not cheap) I was drinking the best vodka they had on site on the rox so a pretty easy drink and i was only able to get one since i couldn't get anyone's attention. One of my brothers was drinking wine and getting about a 2/3rd pour compared to some other people at the bar. Then someone wanted to watch something on the TV and paired their phone to it with some dang bright hockey game they were not paying attention too blinding you at the bar. The food was absolutely stellar so if you feel like getting agrivated but having some tasty food i guess you could risk it here. Good Luck Player One!

    Would give 2,5 stars if possible. We ordered calamari, but had more fried onion than calamari. Beers and wines are served in plastic cups Server didn't know the drafts they had, ordered Stella and yengling, both weren't cold enough. Food was good tough, but service bad, needed to beg to our server to come to our table.

    Mahi Mahi with no rue (not GF) and Gluten Free fries.
    dl c.

    Im torn on this one. We've gone to Ozona Blue a few times, and most of the time it's great. Last night was definitely different, and unfortunately, we've watched it trending toward a downward spiral IN SERVICE the last few times we've gone. We generally go of lunch and I usually get the Mediterranean Salad with grilled chicken. Ive always been impressed that they can cook the chicken properly and it's never dry. My husband orders different items and also enjoys them. Last night we went for dinner. As usual, the atmosphere is always enjoyable and they have live music outside. It wasnt too hot out and the inside is SO SO LOUD, that we choose to sit outside. When we were seated we asked the hostess if their was live music and she said no, then sat us at the far deck.....NEXT TO THE MUSICIAN, lololol. Our waitress seemed to have too many tables. She was very unhappy and robotic, and I dont think she wanted to be at work. She wasnt snappy or rude, just didnt seem to like her job or have enough time to "serve" us. She greeted us with menus and asked what we wanted to drink. We asked for water while we look at the drink menu. It was a beautiful night, the weather was nice and the music was lovely so we were going to have a nice cocktail and enjoy our time. she returned awhile later with waters, put them down then quickly turned and left, HAHA!!! She did not even give us a chance to order it was so abrupt and unexpected. But we sat and waited....again, nice night. We watched as she did this same thing to other tables, set things down and ran before anyone could ask for anything else, I guess. (I think she had too many tables, so grace) Finally got some drinks after about 15 mins, yeah, it was a nice night and the music was good. My dirty Martini was perfection, though. Nice and cold and the perfect measure of dirty. Hubby had Spicy margarita, small but good. When she came back for our food order, we asked what kind of oysters they had...they didnt have any. Bummer, it was the main reason we chose Ozona Blue...it was a nice night and the music and Martini was good. I told her I was Gluten Intolerant and it looked like I could order the Mahi Mahi with sun dried tomatoes and artichokes. She agreed and said the only Gluten Free side that I could have were the French Fries, to which I was fine with. Hubby ordered the "short rib dinosaur bone" haha, yes thats what it's called so he couldnt resist. The food runner came with our food and put mine down saying that they had to put the rue on the side because it was NOT gluten free. You know...the artichoke, sun dried tomato part....the reason I ordered the Mahi Mahi....which my waitress failed to mention! So I had a PLAIN grilled fish and French Fries. I asked the runner for some lemon at least and he was kind enough to offer tartar sauce. Nice night....good music...good martini....dont let the lack of care of service get me upset and ruin it...it's just fish. To my delight, the Mahi Mahi was cooked perfectly! A fish which is usually dry and boring was actually very moist and seasoned well, and the tartar sauce and lemon helped add flavor layer. so. My husbands Dinosaur bone was well flavored and tender, but its a very fatty meat so he didnt like the amount of inedible fat there was. Still enjoyed it. I never saw our waitress again after she took our food order. We ate and then decided we'd go inside and have another cocktail at the bar, so I left while hubby waited for the check. Had she returned at any point, I might have mentioned to her that she did failed to tell me the MahiMahi rue was NOT gluten free, and I was thankful the chef, at least, was paying attention. Thats not an oversight one should be careless about. My hubby finally made it inside to the bar and we enjoyed a second cocktail. It was a nice night, the music was good, the martini was perfection, and the fish was moist.

    Stuffed grouper with a side of mushroom risotto
    Mia K.

    Went to dinner on a Saturday evening. Dined outside with the heaters keeping the chill away. A band was playing closer to the water area. It was a nice addition to a good evening meal. The food was great. One meal was surf and turf with mushroom risotto and asparagus on the side. The other meal was the stuffed grouper. Both meals were very good. However, the grouper was a bit over cooked but still good. The service was slow & we were not very attended to as we had to find another server just to refill the drinks after a long wait. Otherwise, a great place to enjoy a well cooked meal.

On the website they list out parking lots, so I would recommend checking that out. We ended up parking at a parking garage that was a couple minutes walk from the restaurant. Also, pro tip thanks Yelp, they do accept reservations. You have to look on OpenTable, though, I don't feel like I saw it on their website. We were there at 7 PM on Saturday and even without a reservation we would've gotten a table. However, it is on the smaller side if you want to sit inside, they do have a back patio. I saw a reserve sign on our table, so they definitely honor Reservations. I got hogarita which is their version of a margarita. It was good. My husband got an old-fashioned and liked it. The food is where this place really shines. I got hogfish grilled with their veggie of the day and key lime slaw. My husband got their salmon grilled with veggie of the day and hush puppies. The hush puppies are exceptional. I usually avoid carbs and I'm sure this one is really bad for you, but it was absolutely delicious. My husband, who normally isn't a huge fish eater liked his salmon. We both agreed, though that my hog fish was better. The hog fish was flaky and tender, a very mild tasting fish, but absolutely amazing. 10 out of 10 on this dish. This place is pretty casual, it feels very down to earth with really good food. Service was attentive and quick, we will be back.

So that made ordering a little tricky but isn't their fault really. I swapped it for regular mayo. I liked the lime vinaigrette and got a little extra of that. They serve the sandwiches with chips that were pretty crispy and tasty. My fish was cooked wonderfully. Service was quick and the waitresses were very friendly. It's also a Diet Coke place, which is a big pro on my list.
