At Ocean Blue we take our food seriously, but not ourselves. We are inspired to create a dining experience where our guests feel welcome and at home in our inviting setting to enjoy quality food, and warm hospitality. Borrowing influence from our most favorite era and styles, Ocean Blue’s interior boasts a mix of elegant black and white décor, a large copper bar, and floor to ceiling windows that offer a panoramic view of our city. Perhaps the most striking feature is our vast, open kitchen that allows guests to watch the culinary team in action, preparing our signature dishes. We cook the food, and craft the drinks that make us happy, and we want to extend to you the same feeling. Great service, great food and great drink is not enough. We create an experience. We are a feeling. We are all of the above.

Service was less than expected for such a high priced restaurant. Wine was very expensive considering they only give a 4 oz pour. Quality of food was sporadic. Some very good, some sub par, overcooked and burnt.

It was our first time at Ocean Blue and it did not disappoint. Very gourmet menu selection, the staff are very nice and welcoming. The place is upscale, but also kid-friendly with a great children’s menu. My son however, ordered from the adult menu and said the Faroe island salmon is the best thing he’s ever had! I have to agree with him!

Very pricey for the regular food not necessarily for the higher end seafood items. The cod was really good but with "Fish and Chips" in my experience the chips (fries) should be thick and chunky not shoestring fries. That was disappointing.

From the moment we stepped into Ocean Blue, we were enveloped in an atmosphere that was welcoming and warm—a perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. Ocean Blue has a casual and subtle speakeasy vibe which is accentuated by soft lighting and tasteful decor; it set the stage for what turned out to be an exceptional evening. We started our culinary journey with the Rhode Island calamari, which was a delightful introduction to the evening. Tender and perfectly fried, the calamari was complemented by cherry peppers that added just the right amount of kick, elevating this classic appetizer to new heights. Next came the Stuffed Haddock. This dish was flaky, moist, and infused with a harmonious blend of flavors that showcased the freshness of the seafood. The jalapeño creamed corn was outstanding, as the taste made every bite a true delight; you won't regret ordering this side dish! The Crab Cake Dinner was equally impressive. Each cake was packed with succulent crabmeat and seasoned to perfection, served with a side that was equally delectable. It was evident that the chefs at Ocean Blue take pride in their craft, using high-quality ingredients that shine without being overpowered by heavy sauces. To complement our meal, we indulged in craft cocktails—the Below Daiq and the Mezcal Fizz. Both drinks were expertly crafted, showcasing a balance of flavors that highlighted the creativity and skill of the mixologists. The Below Daiq, with its refreshing notes, was a particular favorite, perfectly paired with the seafood. Finally, we couldn't resist the allure of dessert and opted for the crème brûlée. It was the perfect conclusion to an already stellar meal. What truly set Ocean Blue apart was the impeccable service. All members of the establishment worked as a team; they were attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and enthusiastic. Price range:$$$$ Be prepared to pay a bit more, but enjoy treating yourselves.
