    The Thanksgiving dining experience at the Bistro at Ocean House was disappointing on so many levels. The service was unusual, as we had to call the waiter back to request a drink menu and order cocktails. Service was mechanical - not terrible, but not warm or engaging. The food was very poor. The bread looked like small, store-bought Parker or snow-flake rolls - all stuck together in a grid - not the ones shows in pictures of food at Ocean House. The tablespoon-sized portion of mashed potatoes was cold and dry - in all 4 plates for us - as was the stuffing. The squash soup was served at room temperature and was unimaginative. The Brussel Sprouts were very good. The turkey -we were expecting something akin to freshly carved turkey. What we received tasted like pressed turkey, and the “hockey puck” of dark meat - tasted pressed and gelled with a ham-like taste. There was no real gravy - there was some type of sauce on the turkey - not anything like a home-made turkey gravy. The desserts were atrocious. They were tiny, supermarket or cafeteria-quality little flavorless pieces. Desserts can be small and good, but these were tasteless. No one came around to see how the experience was. A woman at a table next to ours sent her entree back five times. All in all, this was an embarrassing experience for me, my guests, and should be for the restaurant as well. The valet was friendly, and we normally tip $10, and we were told upon handling the ticket in that it was $5 for parking - which is nothing, really, but just added to the tacky feeling of the experience overall. Terrible.

    Excellent service. Dinner was perfect. Dessert was disapointing. We thought that we would be choosing between 3 options. Instead there were miniature offerings of the 3 desserts. Not as convenient if you do not like all the options, plus they did not taste like a full serving would have, especially the pumpkin pie (which had little flavor). We had the perfect table with a great ocean view. The only drawback was the cold draft from the windows. I ended up with my husbands' coat on. It was expensive for Thanksgiving but I do not regret the experience!

    Ocean House is beautiful in any weather; today was cold and rainy. Ryan, our server was very attentive and Knowledgeable. The butternut squash was delicious. Our entrees were good. Salmon, OH salad with chicken and grilled halibut sandwich Were good but nothing special.

    We celebrated our anniversary with a brunch at Ocean House. Overall the food was good. The fruit portion of the brunch was not super fresh (wilted grapes). The spinach salad was wonderful but, unfortunately, the pine nuts on the salad were going rancid. It would be great if they paid a bit more attention to the quality of the items they are serving before they bring them out. It was our first time there so maybe it was a one off? The service, ambience, and views of the ocean were wonderful. I would definitely go again and hope they improve the few areas of weakness.

    The Sunday Brunch is always fabulous! With a seafood/fruit/charcuterie tower to apps, mains, (I had bourbon apple French toast) and dessert buffet it is a favorite. Go check it out!
