This is in my top five best dinner experiences I ever had. We started with the seafood tower. This included the best lobster and oysters I ever ate. Then I had a ribeye which was very flavorful. The desert was walnut brownie with ice cream which was amazing. The service was also excellent! I will definitely be back!

The The Ocean Room is 5 stars! The food was delicious, I had one of the best filets I’ve ever had. Food presentation is like artwork. The restaurant interior is beautiful and you can enjoy ocean views while you eat. The staff was the best of the best, everyone we encountered was amazing. Truly a wonderful experience! Don’t forget to make reservations and be mindful of the dress attire. We will definitely be back.

We dine here every August when we vacation. This year the service was well below expectations. My wife is gluten free. Our waitperson acknowledged it and even said “we have gluten free bread.” But, we never got bread until the entrees arrived, and no gluten free. The regular bread could have been from a bag from Harris Teeter. We did not even finish it. Blah.

The Ocean Room was a terrific dining experience. The variety of appetizers and all the steak entrees were excellent. Our server, Danielle, was attentive and provided several recommendations. The dining room was beautiful and we were seated by the window and balcony with a direct view of the ocean. Two points of direct feedback: (1) it is pricey (Manhattan or LA level prices) so it lends it self to more of a special occasion dining experience and (2) the markup on the wines is extraordinary (if you can take advantage of the $50 corkage fee). Will return on our next visit to Kiawah Island.

Terrific ambience with highly attentive and well trained, pleasant staff. The food was beyond delicious. I got the iceberg wedge and split the tomahawk ribeye with my son. He got the creamed onion soup to start and said it was delicious. I highly recommend and will return to this restaurant…it’s a special place!

Always incredible! The service was perfect and the food delicious. Brian made excellent recommendations and everyone treated us so special. We ordered the roasted oysters and the oysters on the half shell, bison carpaccio, scallops and striped bass. We loved it all!

This place is exquisite! More than just great food but The Ocean Room provides a wonderful dinner experience. We visited for my husband’s birthday and I’m so glad we did. The view of the ocean was amazing. We started with a cocktail named the swallow-tailed kite that I absolutely loved. Our steaks were cooked perfectly and the creamed spinach was some of the best I have had honestly. This is definitely worth the money and trip to Kiawah. The service was also unmatched. Ten stars!

I dined at the ocean room for my mother’s birthday. The entire experience was amazing. Our food was excellent in both taste and presentation. The service was exceptional. The entire staff earned my dad’s highest compliment. “I would hire them.” The Ocean Room was beautiful. I would place the Ocean Room on my personal Mount Rushmore of dining experiences.

This place has the best steak i have EVER tasted and steak is my favorite dish! The most tender! Also the service was immaculate. They catered to our every need and the ambiance was so romantic. We even got a corner table with a perfect view of the moon and went on a walk on the beach afterwards! Exquisite!
