The Ocean Grill is located at 1060 Sexton Plaza, on the beach. We arrived a few minutes before the dining room opened and sat in the lounge while waiting on a table. This was good timing because they get busy quickly after opening. For more information about their menu and hours of operation you can visit them on the web at: http://www.ocean-grill.com/.
Built in the early to mid 1900's, the history of this restaurant, the storms, "Chicago gangsters" and German U-boats, make for an interesting read (? fact or fiction ?) and add to this restaurant's ambiance.
On our visit to the Ocean Grill, they offered a Escargot appetizer special which was absolutely wonderful and was consumed quicker than the camera could get a shot.
For my dinner I took the recommendation of our server and selected Coquilles St. Jacques - a seafood casserole of shrimp, scallops, crab and mushrooms. It's then baked in a cream sauce and sprinkled with Parmesan (below).
The appetizer, salad, fresh baked bread and main course more than filled us... so... for dessert we took a slice of cheesecake to go (also very good). The meal was overall quite good, but also quite pricey, about $ 80.00 with tip for two.
The Ocean Grill makes for a pleasant and un-rushed dining experience. Watch the waves roll in off the Atlantic as you indulge yourself to a candlelight dinner.... and if you're not flying, be sure to sample a "Painkiller" (rum, pineapple, oj & coconut with a dash of nutmeg).
