Ocean Grill & Bar is in many ways a testimony to the bounty of the sea, the adaptability of creating wonderous dishes from the vast variety of life beneath the waves and the endless multitude of flavors created by cultures all across the world using all manner of natures riches to bring out the natural beauty of seafood. Chef Lea has lived and breathed Key West's very own bounty of delicious seafood for over 20 years. Winning many awards along the way for items like 'Butter Poached Florida lobster' and our signature dish 'Shrimp & Grits', he decided to give back much of what he has learned and create a largely seafood menu with flavors ranging from Cajun/Creole to the far East of Asia. An eclectic gathering of the finest ways to enjoy what we are blessed to have on our very own doorstep. You can find on our menu or Special's board local items like Florida Lobster, many varieties of local Seafood. Join us for a feast of seafood paired with a wonderful and relaxed atmosphere.

Disappointing. Food was lukewarm and not worth the price. The wrong wine was served to two guests, which the restaurant did rectify once it was pointed out. Will not come back.

Food was good but took too long and out waiter was not good. Top is included so I think that’s why he didn’t care.

They were out of olives and onions for martinis and also out of grouper which is one of entrees. We didn't learn about the grouper until we were about to order. Think they had had a busy day. Our server was very nice.

My wife and her friends ate there as their last meal of vacation. They said the food was excellent as was the service and ambience. They all ate off the shareable menu and ended their meal with scrumptious desserts.

Asked to be seated outside but half of the ceiling fans were broken so we had to sit at a high top. The food was decent. Not exceptional. It was fine. Risotto was a bit salty and crab cakes a little mushy. We liked our cocktails. The staff didn’t seem like they liked us very much and they were all speaking Russian to one another. I didn’t feel very welcome.
