"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."

"Went here on a Sunday morning with my girlfriend. It was a rough experience. When we first stepped into the restaurant it smelled like rotten eggs. It was bad enough to where we did not have any desire to sit inside (thank God there is outdoor seating). We get to our table which doesn't feel clean. Table was sticky and there were remnants of food on it. I went to use the restroom and I discovered where the rotten egg smell was coming from. Seemed to be the sewage because when I went in there I almost vomited from how horrid the smell was. I refused to inhale through my nostrils in that restroom and needed to put my shirt over my nose to escape the smell. After that my appetite was close to gone. Unfortunately the smell was able to somehow make it's way to our table outside. It was faint enough to where I decided to toughen up and try to eat something despite but loss of appetite. I got the Matador burger. All the ingredients sounded good to me and are things I typically like on a burger. I'll preface this by saying I'm not a picky eater, but man that was one of the worst tasting burgers I've ever had. Burger was cooked fine but something about the burger reminded me of the rotten eggs I was smelling indoors. I don't like food going to waste so I finished as much as I could before I called it quits. The only redeeming thing was that our waiter was good and the fries were delicious. Probably not coming back here anytime soon. Hope to God y'all fix that smell for the sake of your employees."

"Even though I had to return to work and could not partake of any sort of alcoholic beverages, the Build Your Own Pizza was great, hot and delicious!!! My build: Thick Crust, Mozzarella, Ricotta and Gouda Cheese; Italian Salami, Italian Sausage and Shrimp with Red Onions. Hmm, hmm Good!!! Dessert: Cinnamon bites with Marshmallows topped with Chocolate Sauce. Sweet N Tasty! The restaurant staff person Mr. Marcus B who took my order and served me, was very professional, a good listener, extremely knowledgeable. Great Customer Service and hospitality experience! If I were into the Sports Bar N Grill hopping scene and being around large crowds of people, this would be a place where I would know that the food is very good, and the staff personnel are good human beings! For my very first dining visit to Oggi 's s Sports Brewhouse, even though I was alone, I enjoyed it! And would visit again if ever the opportunity arises. My BYO pizza was a 16 for $44.75 with a bottle of Coca Cola Mex Coke style $5.00 and the S 'mores Cinnabites $8.00. Subtotal: $57.75 Tax: $4.48 $62.23 $8.00 Tip to Mr. Marcus B all rounded out for: $70 out of a Benjamin $100 C note) $30.00 change. Man! LUNCH just got like the price of a gasoline ? fill up!!! ??????????? It 's all good though! I 'm travel working, so I will definitely expense it all back to my current client, and write it off on my taxes at the end of the year! ?????Tech Support Project Contractor, only way to work these days. Don 't settle for that single employer employee lock step???? marching man lock down ? ?. ?It pays very well to be different and create your own unique lane!!!"
