"The food was good, and the view was nice, but the service was very slow while the restaurant was not busy at all. The note on Open Table regarding valet parking was apparently wrong. The restaurant validates your valet ticket, but there is no $3 tariff, and if the service is slow enough and you're there for over 2 hours, say 2 hours and 10 minutes a special valet fee of $12 applies? Add a tip on that for the guy who delivers your car and it becomes a bit expensive for parking."

"The setting is beautiful. We have been there before and enjoyed the food, view and service. But next time, we will skip going for any kind of brunch service. We attended Easter Brunch with our family and had a beautiful view of the ocean sitting in the tent. The problem was, first, the valet line was 30 minutes long. That needs to be worked on. Secondly, the buffet is spread all over the place. In the lobby, in the main dining room and outdoors. It was very uncomfortable maneuvering with a plate in hand trying to get some food. I felt like I was in a college cafeteria. The food felt overexposed, if that makes any sense. The employees were very nice despite the chaos that was going on. Too many people at one time!"

"I was in this restaurant a couple of times before it recently rebranded. Clearly, the food has improved and now it's possible to call it "special." Lots of flavor, unique preparations and generous proportions. And, with the porch almost right on the ocean, the view can't be beat. BUT the service still lacks professionalism. Our waiter took forever to get us drinks, appetizers were still on the table when the entrees came out and the server could not figure out who had what entree. Fix this problem and I'd give Ocean2000 four stars."

"Waitress left much to be desired. After spilling
water on the table and my lap she thought
it funny enough to say 'I thought you might
enjoy the cooling off, it's hot outhere!' Then
I needed to ask for another napkin after drying
off the table and myself. She often was rarely
to be found. However, I enjoy the view and
food but would hope for better service.

"food was tasty. best to go when the weather is warm enough to sit outside. beautiful porch for dining and ocean view. inside dining room is OK - sort of "supper clubbish". Not what we were looking for on a beach vacation. would go back and sit outside, though."

"First time there for breakfast, promptly seated. Waiter was nice. Hollandaise sauce bland, potato's tasted like they had been sitting under a heating lamp way too long, husband's poached eggs cold, missing yolk! Waiter/Manager offered a re-make, we declined so our drinks were taken off the bill - nice of them. View was awesome. We think Ocean2000 deserves a 2nd chance & will give them that at a later date."
