"Ocean House Restaurant had just opened for the season so it seemed like a great place for a birthday dinner. We knew nothing about the restaurant so all was a surprise and a great surprise! Driving up it appears to be a stogy restaurant a bit old fashioned but once inside it had a much different feel. And very different from your typical Cape Cod restaurants. The food was delicious, and again, very different from your typical Cape Cod restaurant. We were really hungry and needed something quick so started with the onion dip wow! It was great! Home made potato chips, creamy onion dip that reminded us of a grown up version of the make at home Lipton dip. But so much better. Next we had Point Judith calamari which should have been called frito misto as it contained fried Rock Shrimp Calamari Scallops Pork Belly Ponzu Pickled Chiles Ginger Soy Drizzle Togarishi Aioli. it was a really unusual dish. The pickled Chiles were my favorite part of the dish though every element was good and nothing overcooked. For our main dish we split the Seafood Paelya. Sea Scallops Rock Shrimp Chatham Littlenecks P.E.I. Mussels Chicken Chorizo Saffron Coconut Rice English Peas Hot Sour Tomato Broth Shrimp Lumpia. It was explained as being a Brazilian version of traditional Spanish paella. Our only issue with the dish was coconut milk base a little too gluey and heavy. The seafood had a tomato broth base which complemented but didn't take over the other elements. I have to admit that I was a bit jealous of the steaks we kept seeing served to other diners. I'll have that next time. Our favorite part was the service. Our waiter was dealing with a large party along with a few tables and clearly it was too much. Whenever he wasn't available the manager stepped in. The menu is a bit hard to understand so both the manager and the wait staff carefully went through it, making recommendations. They were both very friendly and once the large table was taken care of we had more than enough time and attention. We felt like we had much better than average service but because the manager stepped in to help out they ended up giving us a 20% discount on the meal. If you are celebrating a birthday let them know on your reservation. We had a delicious (and complementary) surprise of a molten lava cake. Take your time when you are going. We spent a few hours over dinner."

"I first came to this place when it opened and now I bring my daughter for the first time it was actually a big disappointment the food was overly salted the service was really under par. When we arrived the hostess sat us instantly. Jesus was our waiter and I only got his name because he had to look at the name on my check he did not come for the first 10 minutes which the day was not busy we received our bread instantly and when he did show he basically wanted to take our order. Being Vegas he didn't even answer this was our first time or did he introduce himself so I ordered an appetizer and a meal for my daughter and we ordered a strawberry daiquiri and a Shirley Temple now what was quite disappointing is we are already eating bread he didn't offer us no water nor did he pick up the other remaining playsets as we were seated in a table for four people I literally had to look for him to ask for water as bread was getting stuck in my chest. We we're seated across from where the waiters pick up their drinks from the bartender and I was so disappointed that the bartender had to ask his device strawberry daiquiri since he did not know how to make one and surely he did not know how to make one it was overly syrup very little alcohol and chunks of ice not even Blended well to make matters worse my waiter didn't get that drink it just sat there and I basically was trying to find the waiter that's waiting for his other drink that was already getting made if you could hand mine to me we watched our waiter run back and forth for another table. Our food didn't come to us till 752 pm. The worst part is we barely got to take a couple bites of our food we were really dissatisfied he never asked us how the food was we basically said we were ready to go and what was really disappointed that he didn't even notice that we barely touched our food he packaged it up and we left disappointed and hungry. What made this experience even worse was listening to the bartender and another waiter complain about other employees obviously you guys really need to improve your team building because the gossiping of one another is truly unprofessional. As a local we will not return."
