Taste: 5/5 Value:…read more3/5 Ambiance: 5/5 I've gone to the Ocean Grill a few times and what really stands out is the overall atmosphere. It's such a beautiful spot, especially during the holidays when they really go all out with the decorations. The ambiance is hard to beat, and the view alone makes it worth the visit. The food is consistently delicious and well-prepared, although it is definitely on the pricier side. It feels more like a place for a special night out than an everyday dinner. On our most recent visit, the only downside (besides the prices) was that there was a very long wait time to get our food. Still, the setting and overall experience was positive so I wouldn't be against another visit.

Our server Christine was phenomenal - honestly one of the best server's I've had at any restaurant. She was super kind and friendly and great with our 4 year old. We ordered some iced teas and lemonades to start (all good) and then entrees, which come with two sides each. I got the red snapper special, which was served over angel hair pasta with crab meat on top. It was excellent! Very flavorful - the crab was almost sweet, and the fish was just so good. As sides I got a Caesar salad, which was solid, and creamed spinach, also tasty. We ended up being too full for dessert, but had such a great time. Definitely have to check it out if you're in the area!

Seriously. I cut my filet with a fork. It was that tender. The seared tuna, not on the menu, but IYKYK, is nothing short of a masterpiece. Dessert, only the oatmeal cake. I have never had anything less than a stellar experience. Fabulous wine list, impressive staff. White tablecloth, fine silver. This is a Palm Beach restaurant. Will you pay for it? Yes, through the nose. But every bite is worth a million bucks.

We made a reservation for three to celebrate my birthday. Upon parking in front of the restaurant,…read morethe first thing we noticed was the entrance--dirty, outdated, and poorly maintained--which was immediately discouraging. We arrived a few minutes early and were met by an older blonde woman who greeted us with clear displeasure. She offered no courtesy, not even a simple "good evening," and instead sternly informed us that we were early. Our reservation was for 5:00 p.m., and we had arrived approximately ten minutes in advance. The interaction left us disappointed and uncomfortable, especially on a special occasion. We had no desire to continue the evening under such unwelcoming treatment. We do not mind paying for quality, but it must be accompanied by professionalism and respect. We certainly will not accept rude or uneducated behavior from staff. We ended up going to one of our favorite restaurant Ocean Grill. In order to write this review I had to give 1 star .

Our waiter came across as both rude and inattentive, making us feel more like an inconvenience than paying customers. Basic requests felt like a burden to her, and her attitude only added to the discomfort of the evening. What made matters worse was the restaurant's refusal to close the door, despite strong, freezing winds blowing directly into the dining area. It was genuinely uncomfortable to sit there, and rather than addressing the issue, the staff seemed completely unconcerned. One member of our party actually had to wrap themselves in a blanket just to stay warm, which is something you would never expect to deal with while dining out. As for the food, it didn't justify the price point at all. Everything was noticeably overpriced for what you receive, especially considering the lack of care in both service and atmosphere. When you combine the poor service, uncomfortable environment, and inflated prices, it's hard to find any reason to return. Overall, Waldo's missed the mark in nearly every category. Dining out should be an enjoyable experience, but this was anything but.

He was attentive, made great suggestions and let us take our time. The manager, Steven, checked in on us several times. Their new sommeliar, Ackee, was very helfpul in choosing a wine that would complement both of our meals. The food was fantastic. I started with the lobster bisque, which was delicious. Hubby started with sashimi trio. He thoroughly enjoyed his prime New York Strip which was cooked to perfection. I don't eat meat, but did have a bite of his truffled mashed potatoes which were the best mashed potatoes I've ever had. I had the seafood pasta which was also phenomenal. The lobster was a little tricky to get out of the shell, but the sauce was so good that I licked my fingers clean since we were at a table in the back ;-).

We had a larger party and special care was provided to all of us in attendance. I started with the gazpacho, which was just okay. The paella though was wonderful. This Cuban influenced version is a bit different than the traditional Spanish version with which I have far more experience. My guess was the biggest difference was in the saffron which I didn't pick up here. Visually, and you'll have to trust me here, a wonderful presentation. A great time was had by all. Warning though, the portions are very large.
