    Excellent service. Glasses were spotted and they brought clean glasses without having to be told. Hot towels with lemons to clean you hands after eating. Multiple servers check on us. Only one drink was horrible the French 75 after asking for a new bottle of Prosecco still tasted flat.

    Had a great Saturday night here , got the prime ribeye chef choice on cook , came out great! Side of asparagus so fresh and juicy also got a side of mac and cheese which had the best cheesy profile. I also got the choice of 3 sauces which weren’t needed because the steak was perfectly cooked but for added experience it was well worth it. 10/10 would recommend!

    Service was slow, im not sure if they added extra tables for valentines day but the servers were overwhelmed. The server never even offered us all the options on the menu when other servers were doing it for other tables. Had to send my steak back 3 times as it came completely rare instead of medium rare. Food was good but would not recommend going on a busy night. Terrible customer service.

    For $150 a person I expected a little more. Crab cake tasted amazing but presentation was not appealing. Steak was just ok- nothing to write home about. Server was honest and loved it

    This is the third consecutive birthday we've spent here. Food is always outstanding and the service is impeccable. Can't wait to celebrate here again next year.

    We've been celebrating our anniversary at Meat on Ocean for years, and each visit never fails to impress us. This year was no exception. The food is nothing short of spectacular. From the perfectly cooked steaks to the fresh seafood options, every dish is a culinary delight. The flavors are consistently on point, making it a true gastronomic experience every time. The service at Meat on Ocean deserves a special mention. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and always make us feel incredibly welcome. They add a personal touch that makes the evening even more special. The ambiance is simply perfect. The cozy and elegant setting.
