The menu features modern British cuisine, with a focus on fresh, local ingredients. When we dined we opted for the A la carte menu and chose a variety of dishes to sample. It’s hard to pick a highlight dish as they were all so good, but my Venison main course was fantastic. The desserts were spectacular too, with my partner commenting that the cheese board he had was incredible. They also offer a seasonal tasting menu too which we heard many diners compliment.
I was blown away by the experience. The food was exceptional, and the service was top-notch. The front-of-house service team were clearly experts in their roles, and nothing was too much trouble. We also ordered some Espresso Martinis to finish, which the barman kindly made decaffeinated for us.
As we were staying in the hotel we had breakfast the following morning too. Usually, hotel breakfasts are a bit of a mediocre experience, but this was certainly not the case at The Ocean Restaurant. The continental selection was amazing, and the main dishes are served A la carte, so you don’t have to worry about a cold buffet breakfast. The coffee was very tasty too.
I would highly recommend the Ocean Restaurant to anyone looking for a special dining experience. The food is excellent, the service is impeccable, and the setting is stunning. I plan to return in December and will certainly be looking forward to experiencing The Ocean Restaurant once again.
Our latest visits were no exception.
The combination of menus provides an interesting choice of dishes, some of which are not often seen today.
The preparation and presentation of the food is excellent with the emphasis being on taste rather than volume.
We had to return for a second visit to try more of the great menu items!!
The wine list is very good, although we encountered a problem with our first red wine selection, it was dealt with swiftley and with style.
All the staff are great and they clearly enjoy engaging with their guests.
A lovely, almost colonial environment, crisp flat white linen and silver cutlery set the backdrop for the excellent food.
A really great dining experience.
