The staff are very polite and friendly. The food was lovely but I was quite surprised it wasn’t hot which isn’t very good because I didn’t eat all my food because it went cold to quick.

We we’re welcomed by a lovely young lady with a smile on her face. The couple of waiters who served us were very friendly, welcoming and very approachable they attended to our needs, one of the waiter answered all our questions and couldn’t do enough for us. Will definitely highly recommend ocean beach. Thank you all we had a great afternoon and made my friends 70th birthday very special.

We had to wait a long time for our table; even though we were booked in for 7pm, it was nearer 8pm by the time we sat. I do think we had been forgotten about in the bar area. We ordered fairly quickly, but again, waited a long time for our starters to arrive and in turn, our mains. The restaurant was not what I would call busy, so it was disappointing that the wait for everything was so long. When the food came, it was good, but it has put me off arranging to visit on a Friday night again.

Booked an outside seat at 545pm. On arrival was advised no outside seats even though that is what we booked and confirmed. Was a special occasion. Did not get served our food for over an hour. Not great service at all.

Very good. Great position overlooking the sea. The staff were very friendly, helpful and attentive. The menu was extensive and varied. The food was really tasty and enjoyable. The cost was reasonable offering quite good value. My only criticism was the rather limited choice of dessert. Will certainly revisit but will go to Rossi's for dessert.

Staff were very friendly and helpful, but even though it didn't appear overly busy on the food front, our main course took over an hour to arrive and we had to remind them we were still waiting.

Sadly if you google dog friendly restaurants near Southend then Ocean Beach appears. We booked through the app and drove a considerable way only to be turned away without an apology or any empathy to our situation. Parking was challenging and with so many outside tables I was dismayed by the abrupt response to our arrival . Please amend your google listing .

Booked lunch with our small kids to celebrate Mum's Birthday. The location and service were excellent, as was the food. The portions were good, everything was well cooked and very tasty. Our children are both autistic and can be fussy eaters, but they ate and enjoyed everything and the colouring supplies were a nice touch. Overall a wonderful lunch.

Went for breakfast, all good but I am gluten free & they still don't have bread/toast. I ask every time. Lots of places have it now & keep it in the freezer. Also other restaurants have gluten free sausages, ocean beach doesn't. Most supermarkets better range sausages are gluten free anyway so it's not difficult! They could do with a rethink, I'm not the only one .
