   Lived in New England all my life, driven by the Ocean House so many times, didn’t know what I was missing. Eat at The Veranda restaurant …you won’t regret it food, service and views all spectacular

   While the views are magnificent and service excellent, the food is mediocre. If you are looking for delicious food and cocktails, you will not find it in this 5 star hotel. Very overrated and underwhelming. There is no reason why this hotel should serve such bland food. Very disappointing. Not to mention the flies and wasps, one of which landed in our appetizer.

   Can’t beat the location! A bit over priced but probably because of the view. Stuffed clams were very very good!!

   You are paying for the view and atmosphere. Food was good but a bit expensive for what you get.

   Although I still love the atmosphere of the place, I think both food quality, menu choices & service have all declined. Two last times I went I found servers less friendly than in previous years, menu not as varied & food not as good. An example would be the sides that they give you with a sandwich is no longer french fries or homemade chips, but instead a potato salad or greens which was ok. The server did split things when asked but not exactly friendly about anything. I’ve been coming here from the very beginning when they first opened and I’ve seen a slow decline. The hostess who greats you & parking attendants continue to be friendly & welcoming. I think the dining servers need to step it up a bit & the food needs a little tweaking with both variety & quality.

   Our lunch was delicious and view superb. However, there were ants on our table, which was very unappetizing.

   The food was mediocre. The customer experience was atrocious, the staff were not helpful and made it clear our experience was not valued. We had reservations for lunch and it was really terrible. I asked to walk around and options to go to the beach, first the staff agreed then chased us down to tell us we couldn’t then back tracked and said we could walk the grounds. I’ve stayed at great resorts that would be classified with the Ocean House including the sanctuary on Kiawah, the Coronado in San Diego, the Belmond’s Charleston and Santa Barbara properties and the ocean house was one of the greatest disappointments in travel.

   Beautiful atmosphere! We needed to ask other waitstaff for black pepper and to order another drink so the waitstaff could be more attentive. The Arugula Salad was great with added lobster salad and the crab cakes were yummy! However, our stuffies were cold in the middle, which made us wonder if they were frozen and then heated in the oven. Considering the $$$ for lunch, we were surprised the chef would support serving cold stuffies.
