Very enjoyable. Lovely tasty food. Friendly staff. Very efficient service
Great location with views of the estuary. Friendly service and good varied menu.
Excellent food. The honey chicken and pancetta salad was lovely
Always delicious food and great service. Highly recommend to find this place if you visit Southend !
The food was good but the service was very slow as they seemed to be understaffed
Great food and service with a lovely view , I’d visit again
Great service, lovely staff, excellent food, awesome view and nice atmosphere.
Lovely lunch music a bit loud tried to ring them as running late but all voicemail would like to have spoken to someone. Even when I booked the meal could not speak to anyone. I think you should be able to speak to someone. Apart from that a great meal.
Staff were efficient and friendly. Food was great and overlooking sea was a plus. Highly recommemd
Food was amazing but unfortunately, it took 40 mins just to get our starters. Long wait on mains also. Staff good but not as attentive as experienced previously. It was a busy evening though, but still frustrating as a customer. Can’t fault the food one it did arrive.
Always lovely food & ambience .Great outlook too,& very convenient location
At 21.15 our party of 4 had finished the main course and opted for cocktails and/or coffee for 'dessert'. Our waitress said 'no coffees, the machine has been turned off'! At least 35 people were still finishing their meals - so we were unlikely to be the only people wanting coffee. Why cease service so early? So, 'May we have a couple of Espresso martinis?' - no, we don't do them. So, that was the end of our evening. Great venue, fab food - but cessation of post dinner coffee service at 21.15 when a good number of customers are still dining is not really what we expected. BUT we all had a fab time so it's just a small gripe.
Went for lunch. Lasagne was dry and overcooked. Starters ok. Nothing special. Would not rush to go again.
Staff nice and friendly and breakfast was really good would return.
Booked as convenient location for one of our party however although food was good thought it was average for the price
Short staffed Not very friendly Rushed Wasnt offered any more drinks or food after our sandwiches. Everything seemed a huge inconvenience when we spoke to staff. A bit disappointing. Food was lovely and a brilliant view!
The food was excellent and the service was very good. There is always a good atmosphere at Ocean Beach and a great view of the beach.
Love this restaurant, love the tapas, love the views. Yes we will be back.
Very nice food & excellent service with beautiful views of the beach
The food and service was excellent with pleasant ocean view seating
As always the food was amazing, the staff were polite and friendly and the view across the Thames was stunning. It was my husband's birthday and he felt very spoilt.
Great food, lovely views of the sea and staff very friendly with good service
Great service, with very attentive staff. The food was delicious. I was grateful that they were able to make an amendment to my choice of main meal.
Fabulous & we will definitely be back soon. Great place
The staff were very abrupt, understand it was busy, not a nice welcoming. The prawns I ordered was meant to be olive oil was in sunflower or vegetable oil, dip the bread in was greasy like fried bread, bread was hard. Chips were hard and overcooked, no pototo inside the chip. Out celebrating my birthday with family. Has now put me off coming back.
Service very slow and could of been more attentive during service
Very busy, but service was excellent, and the food was great. I will visit again.
Thoroughly enjoyable visit, warm welcome, good service, superb food and great venue; what a view.
Lovely atmosphere, fabulous setting, friendly staff and a great menu!
Harvey (the waiter) was lovely and professional. We Will definitely come back. Amazing ambience and fresh/tasty food. Recommend the Meze and the ocean burger. Yummy
Absolutely lovely meal & easy to book . Staff were brilliant. Very clean & superb vuews
What a fabulous location! Plus very personable staff and very good food. We had a selection of tapas dishes, each of which was excellent in its own different way. We’ll be going back!
Ocean Beach is my go to for a relaxing afternoon or evening meet up with friends. I always feel so relaxed after a visit. Would recommend to anyone.
food was just okay wouldn't rush back there sorry to say
Food was lovely staff were great too. Will definitely visit again soon
Came with family and we all had a great experience would definitely recommend
Arrived 20mns early but they found us a table in the conservatory overlooking the beach which was great. But the service was extremely slow. Took ages to get our starters, and as for our mains , I had to ask after 1 hr why we still had not been served...all in all it took 2hrs for 2 courses! But the food compensated for the wait. It made our return home much later than we wanted (we had come for the day and had over 1hrs30 journey back! ).
Lovely as always! Great location great food, the menu is the best in Southend in my opinion
The chicken mains were delicious and so was my warm chocolate brownie, but my husband was VERY disappointed with his brandy liqueur coffee, as it didn't smell or taste like it was made from a good quality brandy, but rather like it was made with a brandy essence. ☹️ Great view and good service though
Great food, service very quick and courteous. Good atmosphere, only let down by weather which turned very stormy and blustery for a summers day in June!
Great friends lunch everything went vdy well and we all enjoyed our food choices
Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and we couldn’t fault anything. The staff, atmosphere, food and service were all amazing. Thank you for a fabulous evening
Service and food all very good nice friendly staff. Busy lunchtime sat on terrace
Food was excellent and freshly cooked. Service could not be faulted.
We were given a window table as requested, and the food and service was excellent, as usual.
Everything spot on sitting in conservatory service and food excellent Further bidets planned soon
