  Ocean House Review

  I think the Ocean House is one of the best Cape Cod dining experiences. Yes, it gets crowded so make reservations in advance. The atmosphere is upscale so dress accordingly (many men in jacets and ties though plenty in nice shirts and pants). Everything about the food is great from the salad to appetizers and main courses. I almost always get the filet mignon. The prices are steep and if you go at night you can't really see the water. This is the perfect place for a fancy, special night out if you have $$$$ to spend.

  Don't be fooled

  The big "come on" is an off-season $25 price fixed, 3 course meal. Our only "extra" was a single drink. A meager, less than 1/2 full, glass of mediocre wine was $10...a bottle of non-alcholic beer was $8.50. Throw in manditory valet parking, coffee, tax and tip and the ultimate cost of each meal exceeded $50/per person. If you walk there and stick to ice water you can do okay.
  
  The service was so slow that we built up an appetite between courses. The noise level was outrageous. In all fairness, the daylight view from the dining room was outstanding.

  Great view, but food down the street was better

  We made a reservation and had a lovely dinner with a view of the ocean: very romantic. The food was wonderful, but we had been spoiled with fantastic raw oysters at the Oyster Company Raw Bar (closer to Rte 28 but also on Depot St.) so our food experience, while more expensive at the Ocean House, didn't quite compare. Service was very attentive and unobtrusive but our server was not very knowledgable about the wine list. While the view is fabulous and I have no regrets, we spent 1/2 as much for a better meal at the Oyster Company.
