Ocean View Deli & Restaurant

I ordered the gluten free pancakes. It was $8 for two pancakes, an additional $2 per pancake for gluten free and extra for blueberries. It ended up being $14 for my blueberry gluten free short stack. I took a bite and they were the worst gluten free pancakes I’ve ever had. The server asked how everything was and I told her/showed her the inside of my pancakes were doughy. I told her they weren’t good. She ensured me they were fully cooked and walked away. She saw I was not taking them home with me or eating them. When she saw me taking a picture of them she asked if there was something wrong with them in a rude tone. I told her they weren’t good. She responded “well you could have told me there was something wrong with them”. I told her I did tell her they weren’t good and were doughy like inside. She became abrasive and I walked out since I had already paid. I used to waitress and we never made anyone pay for food they didn’t eat or like no matter what the reason was. I also would not speak to customers the way she did.

As promised.

We made a reservation using the open table app for two people at 6:15 PM. We arrived 10 minutes before our reservation time and we’re told that they did not have our table nor would they have our table due to an overbooking and blamed everything on the open table system. My question for the staff was why they never bothered to call us and tell us they were overbooked, or why they didn’t simply cancel the reservation. They didn’t have answer. Our options were to wait over an hour for a table, or we could sit at a there is those two I was just a little chilly so I came over and sat in the sun bar, staring at a coffee machine. We chose to stay. 20 minutes later, another party of two in the same situation as ours arrived and they seated them in an actual table after a 15 minute wait.

We ordered jumbo buffalo wings for an appetizer. JUMBO is an outright lie. These were the smallest wings I’ve ever had in my life. They were very crispy and the sauce was great but THE WORD JUMBO was misleading when you’re expecting big wings.

My salad arrived at the same time as my main meal. I didn’t end up eating it because the main dish would have gotten cold. I had specifically asked that it come ahead of time.

My meal was the seafood risotto which was supposed to include scallops, lump crab, shrimp, and bacon. While the risotto overall was very delicious, I could not find any lump crab at all. The scallops were the size of the smallest segment of my pinky finger. To be fair, the shrimp were absolutely amazing and were very large; hands down the star of the dish.

For our troubles, we were offered a 10% discount which equates to taking the side salad off the bill. This place is charging premium prices for food and service that is anything but.

We have gone here for breakfast multiple times and it has always been amazing. The other night my husband and I and my parents along with our adult son and his friend went for dinner for the first time and it was amazing! We all enjoyed what we got, my dad was so glad to have amazing schnitzel so close to home, my mom and I got the half chicken dinner which was so delicious and a huge amount of food! And not only was the food amazing the waitress was so great, my sons friend had lost her wallet during the day so we were asking her about what police departments we should check in and she super helpful and made her feel much better about it. This place is an absolute treasure to have in the area!
