    Christmas brunch was a bit of a miss here. It was a mix of buffet and order from the menu with limited items. It took an hour extremely long time to get the food. When it came out it was very bland and rather tasteless. Not like other experiences at ocean house. The service seemed confused, we got served wrong items multiple times. They just seemed like they weren’t prepared in anyway for the Christmas brunch. We had gone to a Santa brunch earlier in the month that was fantastic. They should have just kept with that concept. This one just didn’t work for many reasons. They did take a percentage off my bill for the delays and wrong items etc. overall it was ok but could have been a much better experience for the price point

    Had high expectations for this expensive Christmas Brunch ‘experience’. The food and ambience were exceptional and as expected. The service,however, was subpar. Our waiter explained it was his first time. Our mimosa order was consistently messed up (juice without champagne?), French toast without syrup, coffee without cream. We had to consistently wave him over to make these corrections. Dessert was part of the holiday menu & the bill was presented before any dessert was offered. When mentioning it, we were given a to-go box & told to grab some treats off the hotel buffet on our way out. I’ve never had something like this happen before, certainly not at this price point. This was a one time experience for us. For the cost, drive, & poor service, there are many 4 & 5 star restaurants with views that we would return to first.

    Beautiful restaurant, food was nothing special. Dishes were bland and not very creative. Lobster cobb salad was very good, everything else was average. Expected more for the price.

    A bit noisier than usual because of a large party. Service and food are the best.
