    Outstanding dining experience. We ate at another highly rated upscale restaurant in the area the day before. This place was much better.

    We could not have been happier with our dining experience at Ocean. We hadn't been there for two years and since, the menu has changed for the better. We had the four course menu and all four courses were plated expertely and tasted wonderful. Our server knew about all the offerings and made exceptional suggestions. When in the area again we plan to return.

    One of the most interesting and expertly prepared meals we’ve had recently. Everything was super fresh and the preparations were unique and well balanced. Never hurts either to have such a magnificent view as you dine.

    It was our anniversary dinner and we were sat with a great view and the service was second to none. The food was excellent and creative, exactly what we were hoping for.

    Absolutely fantastic time. Views are as promised - stunning (ask for a table by the windows ). Service is right mix of expert and welcoming. We had the 3 course pairing - wine pours are generous and the food is subtle with a wonderful mix of fresh ingredients and delicate sauces. Perfect for a couples dinner / loved the decor, lightening and music - could easily hear each other. Finish your drink on the porch watching the surf to end the night. Would absolutely go again and recommend if staying in KPT.

    The ocean view is spectacular. Unfortunately the food was not. Although the clam chowder had good flavor, the chucks of lard or fatty bacon was not a pleasant to bite into, It was difficult to distinguish the potatoes from the lard and clams so I had a hard time eating it. The poached lobster was cooked perfectly, but the green cilantro Thai sauce was too over powering and overwhelmed the perfectly cooked lobster. The chocolate cake was good and service was fine.

    Perfect night. Only drawback was one loud party at the end of the night. Not the restaurants fault. Best food I have had in a while (and we live in Portland ME where standards are high) Special occasion place - high end
