Hubby and I were just passing through town and the B&B we stayed at suggested Ocean Blue. We sat outside and it was a beautiful evening and area to do so. Service was on point and waiter/bar tender were very friendly. Hubs loves raw oysters, they were a bit small but he said very tasty. The happy hour specials are a great selection of drinks and apps with reasonable prices. Main course was delicious. Crab cakes were actually crab meat and not a bunch of filler. The homemade pasta....WOW! I gave up my carb allowance for the next week to have it and not disappointed that I did. The meat sauce on it was delicious and reminded me of a relatives homemade pasta and sauce.

We came to here to celebrate our anniversary, and from the moment we walked in, the experience was exceptional. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the entire teamβfrom the host to the serversβwas impeccably dressed, bringing back a level of old-world class and elegance that is so rare to find today. We were seated promptly and received attentive service right away. Every member of the staff made us feel genuinely welcome throughout the evening. The food was absolutely delicious. We couldn't resist starting with the oysters, which were incredibly fresh, and our son thoroughly enjoyed the filet mignon, cooked perfectly. We also enjoyed a couple of beautiful cocktails that completed the experience perfectly. We spent around $250, and every dollar felt well worth it. Between the outstanding service, elegant atmosphere, and incredible food, you made our anniversary truly special. We will definitely be back again soon and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.

Love coming here!!! Iβve had Sunday brunch and Saturday evening dinner on the patio. It never disappoints. The service is excellent and the food is always amazing. I especially love the outdoor seating. We usually go more often in summer.

This restaurant is a beautiful and very clean with a great atmosphere. The drinks were really good and well made, which we definitely appreciated. Unfortunately, the experience at the bar made the evening uncomfortable. When my friend and I asked if we could move to a different spot at the bar ( half empty), one of the bartenders immediately dismissed me and said, βGo ask the hostess.β The hostess confirmed it was completely fine since it was bar seating, but afterward the bartender kept looking our way in a way that felt unwelcoming, as if he didnβt want us sitting there at all. Overall, ALL the bartenders gave off a cold and unhappy vibe, and it made what could have been a great night feel awkward and uncomfortable. Itβs disappointing because the space itself is really nice and the drinks were great. I hope management addresses the service atmosphere, because it truly impacts the overall experience.
