Culinary Delight

The dining experience at the Ocean House is truly amazing. I enjoyed the Chef's Tasting Menu at Coast, which featured a good six-course meal that included freshly prepared seafood and expertly balanced flavors. Each dish was a work of art and served with perfect timing, making it a nice culinary adventure.

I had high hopes for my stay at Ocean House due to its beautiful beachfront property and luxury offerings. However, my experience was marred by numerous service issues and the room was not what I expected.

The high price point didn't match the quality of service we received, making it a bittersweet celebration.
