Food: Pleasant palate but size matters

Meat On Ocean dishes out a Cheese and Meat Charcuterie Board that is a sight to behold with its exceptional presentation, variety, and taste.

Vibe: Enthralling aesthetics with auditory assault

The ambiance is nothing short of elegant, enhancing the sophisticated charm of the place. With a location that affords beautiful ocean views, a date is bound to end on a romantic note here.

  • Bad To Entertain

    Ambiance is loud, music might be overpowering, disrupting dining experience

Perks: Facilitates groups minus the sonic serenity

The restaurant caters to large groups without a hitch, and making a reservation is a piece of cake. The parking could use some improvement though, with structures not validating and valet services reported to have disappeared at times. The noise does nothing to compliment the otherwise sophisticated ambiance. Vegetarian options are sadly lacking, requiring the place to revisit its dietary options.

  • Great For Kids

    Numerous options and great kids menu lead to a fantastic family dining.

  • Hard To Park

    Parking hard to find, structures don’t validate, and valet service may disappear.
