OK... so we have been wondering what this new place - Ocean 3 - actually is. Sure, the awnings say lounge, restaurant and bar. But what actually was happening there.
So we visited tonight. We met the 3 new owners - George (the cook), Amir and Paul. They have renovated the place substantially. The main dining room is now the lounge which usually doesn't begin until 9:30 or 10 pm. ( We left before that time so I can't tell you what the lounge experience is like.) There is a large open space in the middle and low couches all along the perimeter. They expect to be open until 2-ish during the week and later on the weekends.
The dining room is in the upper section of the upper floor restaurant. The place has been painted and has all new furniture. The food offered is half Italian and half Mediterranean.
The downstairs - also redecorated - will primarily serve their pizza selections and other Italian foods. By the way, the chef from Portofino is still cooking for Ocean 3 and I would imagine he is focusing on the Italian food.
The three owners were very anxious to show us around and explain what they are trying to do there. They are aware that they exist in a residential neighborhood. So we will have to see how this plays out.
The food tasted very good, had nice presentation and was spicey. The service was good... so lets see what develops. Give them a try and let us know what you think.

My husband and I first visited
ReplyDeleteOcean 3 2 weeks ago on a Saturday
night for dinner, which we thought was very good but the service could use alittle polishing! I ate
a salmon dish which was alittle over cooked but very good,my husband had a chicken dish, one of many , that he said was excellent and we shared coconut shrimp which was to die for! EXCELLENT!!We stayed for the belly dancing show and had drinks at the bar and have to tell you, dinner started at 7;30pm and we stayed until 2:00am in the bar area, which drew in a very
nice crowd.I am now going back this weekend with my girlfriends
for drinks and appetisers.
This is a must try place!!!

I went to Ocean 3 for the 4th time last Saturday night, with a bunch of my friends. Which the 4 times we went we didn't want to leave. Really. The atomsphere is very comfortable, so this is our new hang out as we say.The food is very good. I can't wait until I go back.
ReplyDeleteThis place is a scurge to the neighboring residents as loud car radios blast, fights at 4am, beer bottles and other garbage is left all over the place. My neighbor had to dispose of a used comdom once. As for the food, why don't you look up how many inspection violations they have.
