“Magnificent place, a sublime breakfast ,with sea views ! I'm Italian and I've been living in the UK for almost 10 years now and this is one of the best places I've had a good coffee. The staff is super efficient and very kind. I hope I still have the chance to come back. Local and toilet very clean! Never change, you're perfect! P. S. By the way, one of the few places where there is a toilet! ”

“Great surroundings with superb views. Unfortunately the food didn't match. I had a Steak & Guinness pie with sauteed veg & mash. The pie was tasty enough but so dry,no gravy at all. As for the veg, they were simply and overly boiled without taste. There were plenty of waiting staff,but hardly bothered checking tables, we had to go to them for a jug of gravy or a dessert menu,which incidentally was given to us and not followed up,again we had to go and ask for the bill instead of anyone even noticing. This was an overpriced, underwhelming meal with little service for the price. Left disappointed!!”

“We went at a lunchtime on a weekday out of school holidays, Ocean Beach was busy enough to have a great atmosphere without a rushed service. The staff were attentive, and helpful whilst not being overly familiar. The food and drinks came quickly and we weren’t put in a rush to leave. You get a great view no matter where in the restaurant you are seated. We were inside which was warmer although the veranda was well sheltered from the elements. Overall great”

“Seaside restaurant with ocean views and amazing food. What a vibe. Came here by chance as the original restaurant we wanted to go to down the road was shut for a private event, and what an amazing turn of events! People were eyeing our choice of food (and who wouldn't?) because it all tasted as amazing as it looked! Great portions for price. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. 1000% recommend and would return.”

“If you can secure a table in the decking/conservatory area then its nice but pricey Visited on Sunday, 09th February 2025, for brunch. Third visit (2020 & 2022) and nothing had changed really but though its still a nice place to eat (if you manage to secure a place in the enclosed decking/conservatory area at least) its a little pricey for the portion sizes as you appear to be paying for the location rather than what is on offer. No dogs allowed, which is a shame, and you can't book the decking/conservatory area, so you have to take your chances if it's busy as to whether there is space available. If there isn't, I wouldn't bother staying, as the contrast with the interior seating is quite stark as to your view.”
