Leona was amazing!! Had a great time and loved the shrimp nachos. Super duper yummy!!!

Hard to judge based on one meal as assuming good as on list of places recommended by person who stays at sea pines resort. Place to start off is nice with large patio facing the ocean. If not staying at resort supposed to pay 10 dollars which comes off bill. We were hoping they had just hot crab clusters but only had as part of boil with potatoes, corn etc which we did not want. Decided to try out seafood sampler as had many things we liked. It is all cook then chilled other than oysters which are raw. Clams and mussels were not good as either tasteless or bit chewy. We got side of carrots for some veg and best description is wedding food. They also brought it well before tower so by time got tower had cooled down. Only thing redeemed meal was they brought out butter for the crabs. Service was okay as our server claimed but mussels and clams were still raw which they were not. read more

We made reservations to set outside and were seated at the last table on the balcony. Great table that felt more secluded. The service is always great at the Ocean Lounge. The hush puppies stole the show and we would have liked more of them. The salad was fresh a we shared it before our entrees. I enjoyed the shrimp and probably should have order the chili lime shrimp entree as they were better than the filet. There was nothing wrong with the filet it was just nothing special. My wife enjoyed the tender short rib. Dessert was the chocolate tort which was very rich and tasty. The setting and service make the Ocean Lounge a place to go. read more

Great service by Marlowe. Enjoyed the crafted cocktails and company! Will be back soon!

Perfect spot for a special celebratory dinner. We planned on staying for a drink and ended up enjoying a full dinner! We stopped in on a rainy evening and enjoyed the restaurant to ourselves. Scott, our bartender, was especially friendly and made a delicious Manhattan and spicy tequila soda. His recommendations for food were also spot on. Crab cake app was loaded with fresh crab with a nicely seared crust. Hush puppies and ahi are also must tries! Mahi plancha was a good size but definitely needs a side to complete it. For our first anniversary, Scott brought out a piece of chocolate torte and glass of bubbles to celebrate. The torte was an upscale s'more that I didn't want to end! read more

Very nice upscale restaurant on the water. Food was delicious. Service was a little slow but server was very friendly.

Amazing view, service, and food. Got the harbor highball and the seafood michelada dip. Drink was fresh squeezed, and the dip had fresh crab claws with spicy chips and salsa. Would highly recommend!!!! read more

We always love the Ocean Lounge for its ambiance, and sitting inside OR outside is just right! With the Cast Iron Plancha dishes you can't go wrong and my crab cakes were probably the best I've had! My husband's salmon was delicious, he said. We split a delicious Caesar salad. And they always have our favorite Martin Codax Albariño on the wine list, so the dinner couldn't have been better. We always put The Ocean Lounge at Coast on our HH itinerary. read more

We come back to Ocean Lounge every year and it's one of our absolute favorite places for special occasions. Gorgeous view and the food is always amazing! Leona gave great recommendations - we loved the cashew salmon in particular. read more

Hello, First I'd like to say that this restaurant has great atmosphere and okay service.. Perhaps service could have been more genuine (bartender), and with the waiter lady/man that took care of us. Don't get me wrong, she/he (Server) was awesome, smiling, happy, engaging.. but after I complained about the food. No manager was sent to the table. None of the food was recooked, or comped.. So she/he gets 3.5 stars out of 5. But I would still come back if it was all about atmosphere and service. I get that we don't go to restaurants just because we are hungry and thirsty.. we go to restaurants because of atmosphere and service. However, if the food is subpar. Why would we consider this restaurant? I was there with my 14yr son. So I had three beers (one at the bar, two with dinner). We started with Caesar Salad and Hushpuppies. Second course we both had the cheeseburgers with fries. Standard American style dinner. Caesar Salad was incredibly plain. Chopped to small pieces, drenched in simple dressing, and croutons from a bag.. You can get the same salad at your local gas station. Hushpuppies wore crispy, but cooked in deep fried gmo seed oil, and just too, way too sweet. They were more like dessert than savory appetizers. And now for the worst egregious offense, the burgers and fries. When you order a 1/2 pound beef cheeseburger in an upscale restaurant (which this place only appears to be - and charges as such).. you order medium well because you'd like to still see some hot pink center. Which is how this size burger should be ordered. Both of our burgers came cremated - beyond well done! No juice or flavor coming out of them. Plus there was no salt or pepper on them! Bland, Bland, why would you disrespect the cheeseburger that way is beyond me?! This was a CRIME! Properly cooked burger is like kissing God! The Fries wore strait from the bag and horrible! Why would the Chef choose these fries in the first place? Why would he order them from Sysco?! Is it hard to make fresh cut fries from organic potatoes and fry them in NonGMO frying oil first time at 250f (par cook), and then let them sit in the walking fridge for next day service?.. So when a customer orders fries, you fry them to complete the cooking process at 375f.. and toss them in Kosher or Celtic salt is beyond me! Did my server ask about the meals we got? Yes, she/he did. But when I honestly gave my opinion, was anything done to fix our meals? NO! We have no reason to come back here. As I wouldn't dare try the fish or other menu items.. but maybe you will. For you this place might be perfect, and you are not a snobby cooked from scratch, kind of dude who grew up in Santa Monica, Beverly Hills and EUROPE. In conclusion, I believe it is better that the management/owners know the truth about their restaurant, so that they can fix it, and provide a truly elevated experience for their customers. Or they can stick their heads in the sand and be happy with mediocre service their staff/kitchen provides on daily basis. Have a great time in HHI, and for the love of God, raise your standards people! Bojan read more

Great nice restaurant with ocean views in HHI There is one other bar restaurant that is on the ocean but this is far more classy. So it has approximately 10-12 outdoor tables and a comparable amount indoors. There are plenty of options on the drink menu including a good wine list and lots of bourbon choices. The food menu offers starters and main course options. Obviously depending on how hungry you are.. off in the cast iron fish specials are delicious. Tonight we decided to keep it simple We need to go with an appetizer / small plate because we had a late lunch. The crab cake appetizer is delicious with a corn relish and red pepper sauce. I had the tuna sashimi with a kimchi accompanying side.. This was absolutely fantastic fresh and plenty filling believe it or not. Then we decided to have a piece of that homemade coconut cake It came with a caramel sauce and some strawberries on the side This was delicious. And we both got a decaf coffee which was smooth freshly brewed. Staff was terrific and we would definitely go back!! read more

The food was excellent, the halibut was cooked to perfection. Our server (Leona) was attentive and handled a dietary need for my wife without hesitation. The room is on the smaller side so it feels a little more exclusive. The cocktails were exquisite, highly recommend the Tide & Timber (shootout to our mixoligist Matt onthis creation). read more

Visited my girlfriend in HHI who had her regular spots, I have now expanded her horizons!!! I found this restaurant on Yelp and it did not disappoint. We chose the Ocean Lounge, I can't compare it to the first floor dining but feels like we made the better choice. Fantastic ambiance with the old school lounge vibe. Comfy chairs and a generous table. Catch of the day plancha was on point. Solid wine list. And Leona, could not have provided better service, just a great experience with my besties. read more

Food was amazing, our server Leona was so sweet and attentive! Andreas made sure we were taken care of as well, would 100% recommendation to anyone visiting the area! read more

This is a special place! Anniversary or birthday Go. Best ocean view on the Island. It is located in the Sea Pines Beach Club second floor with nice comfortable indoor seating with even better outdoor seating with an ocean breeze. No kids allowed. The menu is great with many selections you will like. Our anniversary party of four had: red fish, steak & shrimp combo, lobster roll & oysters ALL GREAT! Finished with a free celebratory special cake. Prices were fair but you will pay a little more for this special place. Property owners get 10% off with Sea Pines sport package owners get 15% off. And yes service is super--Leona was great:)! read more

Thanks to our server "Monica" for a terrific evening. Great service and food. She's very observant and anticipates before we ask. Sorry I forgot to sign the receipt and left my credit card, but she called my cell phone before I departed the building. Thanks Monica and the chef too. read more

Our server, Leona, was amazing! Very sweet and personable and the food was great. Get the shrimp!

Fantastic, fresh, delicious seafood is available here on a daily basis. Because this is on the second floor at the views of the ocean are breathtakingly beautiful. The service from the minute you walk in the door is excellent. From William to Andrea's to Leona- the hospitality is welcoming, efficient, and professional. I love these guys! read more

This was my first time to visit this establishment and unfortunately it was during hurricane Ian, but props to Ocean Lounge for remaining open as there were no threats to the customers. The food at this establishment is way better than what you'd expect for a beachside lounge and the drinks were awesome! Look forward to visiting again in better weather conditions. read more

Outstanding service and food! Joe, William and the staff at Coast and the Lounge are amazing. I highly recommend the cashew crusted salmon.

The ocean lounge is 21 and over and has stunning panoramic views of the beach. You have to pay to get into sea pines but if you order food you can have your gate pass refunded! I enjoyed the steak with mashed potatoes & green beans with a side of the brussels to share the steak was O.K. and the mashed potatoes & brussel sprouts were great. Service was excellent. I would maybe recommend sticking to their seafood options as that is what they are known for! read more

Food was great but the outdoor seating/reservation situation was very frustrating. Management was not as polite as they should be for an establishment like this. He was defensive and not using proper etiquette. The hostess too. It left a bad taste in our mouth for the whole evening and we left disappointed. read more

Our food was very good and the view of the ocean from the restaurant can't be beat. We will definitely be back.

I am a fairly regular visitor to this restaurant. The reasons I am are its ambience, service, and healthy portions of very good food at reasonable prices. In addition they have some interesting cocktails. You can sit inside or outside, both with potential ocean views. I have had a couple of fish dishes and the servings are ample. I have in particular enjoyed the redfish. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a date night or a quite enjoyable, tasty dinner. read more

Received excellent service from our waiter Chuck! short rib is absolutely fantastic read more

Our server Landen was amazing! He was very personable, welcoming and engaging. He provided great recommendations and quality service. The food was to perfection. We loved the crab cakes, scallops, oysters, and the blackened red fish. It was our first time away from our kiddo in over a year and Landen made sure to make it a special evening for us. Make sure to try the flourless chocolate cake! read more

What an experience. We can at the recommendation of the concierge at The Inn and Club at Harbortown. We are celebrating our anniversary and what a fantastic place to celebrate. We got here just before sunset allowing us to enjoy the changing sky colors from our window seat. Our server, Kate, was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu which helped us decide. I had the Seafood pasta with lobster and shrimp served with rigatoni and a superb garlic cream sauce. Just the right amount to where I didn't feel stuffed. My husband chose the chef's special: Blackened Ahi Tuna served over jasmine rice, kale and mango salsa. It was delicious too. Dessert was our choice, on the house, for our anniversary--a standard we were told. We chose the flourless chocolate cake. Other options were pecan pie, carrot cake without raisins but with nuts, key lime pie, chocolate, strawberry or vanilla ice cream or mango sorbet. Overall, this was a great experience. We highly recommend it for a romantic evening on the island. Oh, 21 and older only allowed which ensures a quiet, relaxing meal. read more
