My boyfriend and I went on the afternoon of Christmas eve. We had reservations for 3:30pm. (Highly recommend! By 4:30pm the place started getting packed.) Everyone was extremely attentive. Every person working there had a task and they didn't miss a beat. Our waters were refilled immediately, our food boxed up within seconds of asking and the food! Let's talk about the food and drinks. We both got their special drink of the night, they had just come up with it so they didn't even have a name for it but it was on point! Not too sour not too sweet, just right. For appetizers we got the lobster bisque and calamari. The lobster bisque was creamy and velvety. I wanted another bowl! For dinner I got the caramelized scallops with mushroom risotto. It comes with bacon risotto but they allowed me to substitute without hesitation. I appreciated that! I try not to substitutefor the most part but bacon is somethingI try to stay away from. The scallops were hearty and cooked to perfection. The sauce on the risotto was outstanding. My boyfriend got the swordfish and he thought it was one of the best he's had. The flavors were on point. Now let's talk dessert... we were so full and packed half of our meal but we couldn't leave without trying one to go. We got the trs leches. I'm Latina and have has my fair amount of trs leches but THIS ONE blew my mind! I didn't even have time to take a pic because when I got home and saw that beauty I couldn't stop myself. Overall an incredible experience!

I am never one to leave reviews (whether good or bad) but I had a terrible experience at Ocean and I want to give others a heads up. About 2 weeks ago on a Friday night my fiance and I had dinner at ocean as we have many times before. Typically this is one of my favorite restaurants in the Lehigh Valley but this is the second time in a row the service has been awful. The two of us were there for over 2 hours because of how long it took the food to come out. After waiting probably 40+ mins for our dinner our server came and told us that they had accidentally sent our order to the wrong table and that it would be a little longer. I am very flexible and not hard to please so I said ok no problem Our food came out a few minutes later and my filet was probably one of the worst steaks Ive ever had in my life. If I was not so anti confrontational I would have sent it back and should have but I want to give others a warning on Ocean. Because of the wait the manager gave us a free round of drinks and dessert which was a nice gesture and appreciated but we still ended up spending $150+ on a dinner we didnt really enjoy and took forever. Ocean Management - if you are reading this I am hopeful you will turn things around because my experience turned me off from booking any reservations with you for the foreseeable future
