Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Ox and Ocean is a delightful dining spot nestled in the Zachari Dunes Resort. The restaurant boasts a "fantastic menu" with standout dishes like lobster pasta, sea bass, and prime rib. Patrons rave about the "exceptional service" provided by staff, especially Aga, who adds a "personal touch." The ambiance is "classy and chill," perfect for special occasions. However, some find the prices steep and portions small. Despite occasional service hiccups, the "delicious food" and "beautiful setting" make Ox and Ocean a worthwhile visit.

    It took 10 minutes for someone to greet us at the front desk. Our waiter went on break and the person that took over for him forgot about us. My family had to walk to the bar to get refills on water. Waitress walked by our table several times, even though we asked for water refills twice. Food was good, service not so much.

    The ambience and the service were outstanding. The food was not very good. We both had halibut which was extremely overpriced and a very small portion. It’s too bad as we live around the corner and we’re looking g forward to having a place we could walk to

    The prices here are almost insulting. I worked in restaurants and recognized Sysco basic Angus burgers and battered fries on a 30 dollar hamburger. My wife's burger was overcooked as was my 40+ dollar pork chop that had to be less than 4 ounces with the bone and was about the same quality you'd get from a Vons. We even specified that the burger should be medium rare (came out med well) and the pork chop medium rare as well ( came out well done). I have zero issues paying for a good meal, and even understand if there was issues that day in the kitchen, but when you start with Applebee's level food quality, you'll never be able to justify half the prices they are charging.

    The food was amazing! The dishes were absolutely delicious. The crabcake was full of flavor, and the vegan pasta was fantastic. You do need to add the salmon, which comes separately for an additional charge of $20 for a slice to go on top of the pasta. The lavender cocktail was delightful—very flavorful—and the blueberry cocktail was also excellent. Upon our arrival, we got there a couple of minutes early and had to wait until our reservation time. The table we were seated at was a bit wobbly, and they had to come over to clean the area. One thing to note is that if you visit in the evening or afternoon, be aware that many hotel guests walk around the restaurant, which can be uncomfortable, though it’s not uncommon. At the end of our dinner, we paid our bill, but the only uncomfortable situation we encountered was with our waitress, who seemed dissatisfied with the amount of tip we left. While the service was good, it felt unprofessional for the restaurant to allow their waitstaff to approach customers about their tips or to ask for more. Overall, while the food and drinks were excellent, the service experience left something to be desired.

    Server was amazing under the consequences for it took almost 2 hours to get our food. Food was good unfortunately my meal came out cold my husband's was hot the manager did give us a complimentary appetizer. I believe they just were overwhelmed due to that it was Valentine's Day. Will try again

    We had a valentines dinner reservation . The ambience , live music , little touches for Valentine’s Day were lovely …The fixed price menu was $300/per couple (price was not posted on the menu we had to ask) which included 2 drinks but ordering off the regular menu was much better value. Salad and entrees were very good although I thought $35 for a vegetable pasta dish overpriced . We were very disappointed in the strawberry pastry dessert . There was no strawberry filling and it was deep friend so you taste the oil. Our server could see that there was absolutely no strawberry filling in the one we received and she offered to replace it but we didn’t like that it was deep fried, perhaps the strawberry came out in the cooking process, she very kindly took it off our menu. Definitely a lovely atmosphere. It’s a beautiful hotel and if the prices are within your budget, you will most likely enjoy.
