    Clam chowder
    Sarah L.

    We had dinner at the Ocean Crest Restaurant on a Friday evening. Reservations are required and limited on the day of (only 5:30pm and 8pm were available, so I recommend booking ahead!) The food prices are high, but we traded that for convenience and the view. The clam chowder, rosemary bread, and cioppino were all great. The salad, for $14, was not fresh and small. I ended up picking out the soggy pieces from the assortment. I recommend skipping that. Otherwise, service was great and the ocean cliff side view was beautiful!

    My wife went there on our anniversary. We had the skirt steak and oysters. The drinks were amazing. She had a lemon drop lemon cello and I had the caramel apple Manhattan. The food was to die for the sauces were amazing. The carrot purée. I can't say enough about that. That was delicious. If I was at home, I would've licked the plate. If you're in the area, this is the restaurant to go to by far.

    This is my second time coming here. My drink was great. The Cajun chicken fettuccini was good, just wish it had a little more spice to it. Overall, I had a great time here!

    We made reservations by phone for same day. We were greeted warmly and seated immediately. Restaurant is beautiful with tables nicely spaced. The views of the ocean are stunning. I had the champagne cocktail which was perfect! We ordered the seafood fettuccine with freshly made pasta and teriyaki chicken special. Both were delicious and generous portions. We split a creme brulee where they torched at the table- Yumm! Exceptional service from our server Kyle who was upbeat and friendly. We look forward to returning.

    Whenever we are in town, we always come to the Ocean Crest Resort Restaurant for dinner. We had the pork belly salad and some crab artichoke dip toast for an appetizer. For dinner I got the special Oscar chicken and my husband got the steak and shrimp with Cajun sauce. The food was delicious super fresh and our service was fantastic. We had Kyle as a server and he was fantastic and made sure our date at the Ocean crest resort was perfect. For dessert but husband got the chocolate salt cake and he loved it. I had a bite. It was delicious. I have no complaints at all. I thought that the ambience was beautiful as we were right by the window and you could see the ocean through the trees and we were there right around sunset time so it was even more beautiful. You will need reservations to go here. We will be back! Thank you!! Kudos to Kyle!!

    Marionberry Cobler is amazing!

    My husband and I celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary here. We are extremely pleased with our experience here. To start I asked our server, Ryan, what they had for non alcoholic options. He recommended the no mojito. It was fantastic, tasted so good. My husband ordered the double rye Manhattan. We also started with the rosemary olive oil bread to hold us over while we figured out what we wanted to eat. Appetizers - we went with the locally grown mushroom special and the pork belly flatbread. Both are fantastic. Entrees - I had the Steelhead au Poivre with Maple and Balsamic Glazed Strawberries. My husband had the Five Spice Lamb Chops. He let me try a bite & we both agreed it was amazing. Our server recommended the gorgonzola scalloped potatoes over the rice, which we did. They were definitely a good choice. For desert we shared the marionberry cobbler. It was warm and topped with vanilla bean ice cream. We were so stuffed but it was so good we ate most of it. Service 5/5 Drinks 5/5 Food 5/5 Bonus - an amazing view! We highly recommend dining at the Ocean Crest!

    Steak and rice with Asian inspired sauce - topped with saffron and green onions

    The food is worth the price only if you decide to dine in. The view of the water is what you're paying for because the food itself is not worth it. We were staying at the resort and decided to enjoy it in our hotel room using the complimentary 15% off coupon we received. Since we did have our dog with us, we decided to order to go from the hotel restaurant as our room was right next to it. The food was a disappointment. For a place that supposedly have 5 stars, I was truly expecting something more. The pork belly mac and cheese was soupy and cheese sauce had little to no flavor. Went back to the restaurant just to get a refund for the mac and cheese because it was not worth the money. Even the waiters agreed that it looked gross and they wouldn't eat it either. The flat iron steak had an unusual huge amount of saffron on top as garnish and a ton of green onion. As for the taste of the steak, the sauce tasted like Yoshida's Original Marinade and that really was just the main flavor of the steak. Even with the 15% off coupon, it really just felt like a waste of our money and time. We ended up driving somewhere else to enjoy a nice decent fulfilling dinner.

    My wife took me here for my birthday while we were visiting Seabrook. The view is spectacular and I can only imagine what it is like on a beautiful summer day/night (it was a very rainy day but could still enjoy watching the ocean waves). Our food overall was very good and the service was good too. We started with the crab toast which had a nice flavor but was definitely overpriced and we wouldn't get it again. My wife ordered the shrimp fettuccine which was tasty, shrimp cooked nicely. I went with the smoked beef stroganoff and let me tell you, this is NOT your mother in laws stroganoff! This was a flavor-bomb and I couldn't stop raving about it! Even google searched trying to find a similar recipe that evening with no luck. My stepson went with the pork tenderloin which was cooked perfectly and had a nice flavor, the veggies were a bit mushy though. Overall I had a nice dinner for my birthday.

    The food was delicious. The view was wonderful. Small quiet place. We really enjoyed our meal, and the service was great. Would definitely recommend. Although save up, because it's not cheap!

    Duck breast with cherry glaze.
    Candace M.

    We loved the atmosphere, views, drinks, and service! The reason I'm doing 4 stars for two main reasons. 1. The crab-stuffed portobello mushroom was undercooked, and the stuffing had raw onions that ruined the stuffing in my opinion. The waitress did let the chef know so hopefully, that will help future guests. 2. Loved the bone in rib eye however, as seen in the image it was not just a cherry glaze but smothered in cherries, I feel the cherries overpowered this dish and could be dialed back quite a bit. One more suggestion is for the duck, the cherry glaze is good but it's missing a creamy sauce. Maybe a Bourbon cream Sauce would take it to that next level. Yumm bourbon cream sauce with a cherry glaze. Overall we had a great experience!

    Rising Tide Tavern - Ah, man...so good. There were actually 3 fish tacos, but we ate the first one before taking a picture. :P

    Not cheap but very good. I had a cab, the Brussels Spouts appetizer & the child's fish and chip…read more Still waaay too much food for a senior citizen. I had come for fish tacos but they weren't serving them because they'd run out of red cabbage. That's why I still ordered a fish dish. Even the kid's size was too big. 2.5-3 filets. Lots of crunchy batter on both fish & potatoes. It's probably my french grandmother's fault but I use tartar on my fries. Never my fish (IMO-fish that need sauce isn't worth eating). However, the fish tasted differently from my usual preference. After removing the batter, which was fine on the potatoes, I decided it was the white fish used. I'm used to True Alaskan Cod. I have absolutely no idea what kind of fish is was. The Brussel spouts were very good, but way too much for 1, let alone 2. Loved their home made tartar sauce on my fries. Took home the remaining 2/3rds the spouts, 1 piece of fish and half my fries. Still curious about the tacos but I'm probably be otherwise occupied during the remaining time in the area. Thx.

    Definitely a mix of pros and cons…read more A pro was that the burger was really good. I really enjoyed the burger with the abundance of veggies. The fries were crisp and hot. They had a pomegranate grenadine which was super tasty. A con was that when you first enter the restaurant there is a strong odor of fish. Not the most pleasant. Another was that the service was not that attentive and a bit slow.

    We had a great time staying here except for the bed. I was in an accident and my legs were crushed…read moreso it is had to get in and out of bed if the mattress isn't firm and theirs certainly isn't. We stayed in the cabin room and it had a fireplace and a partial view of the ocean. But the best part was the restaurant. The food, wine and service was amazing! We tried the flight of red wine and found one we really liked so we got a bottle. The menu changes with the season and what we had was so good. I highly recommend a stay here. Next time I'll stay on the top floor of the resort.

    Normally, I wouldn't spend the money on an "view" room but I got a great off season weekday…read morediscount. I love the view; I love the view & surf sounds from the balcony. The only thing I don't care for is there are no hooks of any sort to hang your clothes on in the whole room. Especially, in the bathroom where personally an under the sink cubbie for the hotel robe doesn't cut it. The only 2 rods to hang things on are the towel rack in with the tub & toilet area, and the closet out in the main room. Very inconvenient. The outer portion of bathroom where the sink is, only has the cubbie. Initially that is filled with towels & bathrobes. The lack of a towel rack near the sink seems to be a growing trend at motels. What's with that? Otherwise, so far I've enjoy the in room Keurig coffee service and I'm impressed by the room's addition of wine glasses to the clear coffee cups & water glasses. The downside is the cups are a small 8 oz and I had to cycle twice for a decent amount of coffee. View great! Not sure the rest is worth it.
