Ocean Bar & Grill - My steak... - Bars Near Me - Bray, WW

We happened on Bray at the end of the day to see the cliffs and then to see the beach. We came across this restaurant and decided it was time for dinner. What a happy surprise. The food was great and the service wonderful. I had the scallops, fabulous, and the duck breast, very nice. It was Sunday night, so the place was a rather full. We got a rather undesirable table at first but when some other guests left we requested and then was moved to a better table. If you are in this town you should really try to have dinner here. read more

We checked out several places for seafood for lunch and they were all lame except this place. Service was very quick. Food tasted great. I had the Cajan salmon and it was very tasty. read more

This is a lovely place to eat and one which is favoured by my Dad. He loves their seafood chowder and a pint of Guinness. Very tasty! I have never had a bad meal here, the food has always been lovely. The staff are amazing, always very attentive and courteous. However, my gripe is with the woman who manages the restaurant. She is far from courteous either to the customers and certainly not to her team of waiting staff. I have witnessed her rudeness to other people on most occasions that I've eaten there. However, the last time I was there, her treatment of an elderly gentleman, who complained about a draughty window, was enough for me (& my Dad) to never return again. Which is an awful shame, as I've indicated the food is really good. read more

We stopped in here by chance after picking up some runners in Bray. Driving along the seafront we saw a cute restaurant and realized how hungry we were. I hopped out to read the menu and saw 2 courses for €22 (not bad) and a restaurant as well as a bar menu. I like fish and my boyfriend prefers wings, so I thought it would be a perfect place. We parked and walked into the restaurant, which would be very cosy on a rainy day with a wood-burning stove and red brick. In fairness, we were not dressed quite nicely enough for a somewhat up-scale restaurant, however when I asked if we would be able to order from the bar menu as well as the restaurant menu (since they were connected and located in the same building, with the same kitchen) they said no. They then suggested that I could order just an entrée off of the fixed menu, assuming it was a price issue instead of an issue of taste, or that the bar might suit us better. I stubbornly stayed put in the restaurant and we both ordered 2 courses. Here are the pro's and cons: Pros: 1. Cute atmosphere. 2. Cheap if you want 2 courses. 3. Comfy chairs. 4. Large portions. I got the risotto and then seabass, which could have fed me for three meals easily. 5. Sea View Cons: 1. Unfriendly. An empty restaurant shouldn't shake their heads when you say you have no reservation. They shouldn't be inconvenienced by you asking about items on the menu. Once we didn't order wine they wrote us off for the night. 2. Inflexible. 3. Cheapness disguised as fanciness. There was a woman giving out rolls, which was nice, however it was one roll per person unless you deliberately asked for another and they did not come around a second time. 4. Heaviness. Somehow all of the food was very heavy, most likely based on butter instead of other flavourings. Overall I wasn't upset I ate there, but I would not go back. Maybe I had bad luck with servers/hostess. There was a cute pizza place next door that I will go to next time instead. read more

The absolute best food I have had in Ireland. The Brie fritters are amazing. If you fail to order them you are doing yourself a disservice. Excellent food, beautiful ocean views and a full bar. Enjoy! read more

This was an amazing place ...Starts with the view, if can sit by the window. The staff is by far the best we have had this whole vacation. I had the salmon... incredible. This is a can't miss place! read more

I've eaten in the restaurant a few times and always enjoyed the meal and always found the staff friendly and helpful. I ate in the bar for the first time on Christmas Eve. As a regular Katie Gallaghers goer back in the day I couldn't believe the transformation. The atmosphere was warm and cosy and all staff were chatty and good fun. The menue was great and I wasn't disappointed with the food. I'll definitely be back! read more

Just had a very nice evening meal--I had the duck breast she had the sea trout. Both perfectly cooked. Sides fresh and local. We passed on dessert but the choices looked outstanding especially the warm rhubarb crumble. We had a nice inexpensive Rioja. Atmosphere with the channel view was great. Taking a seaside walk next. read more

Me and my husband drove to Bray to eat at the Ocean restaurant ;... we had a specific time, to clear the table...,then we order fish and chips .At first I notice that the chips are raw, ,yes I got a new plate of chips;but the time I was waiting for the new chips I was notice that the fish was well undercooked. I only said something about the chips because I was to upset to say anything else. They manage to ruin my evening. Never again. read more

This is a gem. Don't know how they can do such a large menu for 22euro. The other great thing about the Ocean is that they change a number of items on the menu every few weeks. I visited twice recently and was very impressed by the quality of the food, the presentation and the service. I am looking forward to my next visit which will be on Dec 17th for a pre theatre dinner plus theatre ticket all for 32 euro. beat that for value. read more

My work Christmas meal was in this restaurant last year and it was brilliant. The food is delicious, I had the pâté to start and the short rib with veggies for my main. Both were generous portions and very tasty. I couldn't have a drink as I was driving but they looked nice. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

Visiring home from the USA. My two brothers and their wifes took us to eat here. We had some deinks, wine and ordered the 3 course for 25 euro. I had a scallops to start, my wife soup, steak and my wife had a fish dish. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was great and the decor was wonderfull. The deep dried cauliflower that came with the scallops was so good. All in a wonderfull dining experience and great prices, only down side was the creme brulee for desert was not set. But all forgiven as it was a dining experience. Will return there for sure when home again. read more

OK, I had good things about here some classing it one of the best places in Bray. I am far from convinced. I had the seafood bruschetta it was bland and tepid. I would avoid. My partner had the black pudding and pearl salad. Sounded promising. A wasted opportunity by the chef. Could have been so better presented. A couple of salad leaves have a poached pear and a slice of pudding on the top. Looked like little or no thought was put in. I opted for the chicken curry. Oh that was a mistake. This I think showed the chef in a poor light. I believe that a meat in any curry should be marinated and cooked in the sauce, so the meat is infused with the spices. No here the curry is in a side dish, ( I think they use it as the vegetarian option.) the chicken is then a normal breast and leg sitting on the rice. This looked suspiciously like my partners lemon and thyme chicken. Honestly the place stinks of penny pinching. Which then transfers to poor food. On the plus side coffee was OK and the server was lovely read more
