Service was quite slow. Food was fine. Sadly there was a very noisy child in the restaurant which made for a less than satisfactory experience.

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 .

My Family and I have visited you on a number of occasions. But unfortunately we think you have become far to expensive for the food and service you offer.

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 .

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.

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.

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.

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.
