The Ocean Club

** REVIEW FOR BEACH BAR & GRILL **
We had lunch with family at the Beach Bar & Grill which is located in the pool area of the Ocean Club. We were seated in one of the many tables located outside and I had high expectations considering this is a very expensive place to live. We were given menus and I was about to choose the Lobster Risotto when the waiter informed us of their all you can eat Argentinian cookout special that included NY Strip, chicken and sausage. The special was $ 18.99 and I figured I couldn’t go wrong with all you can eat steak.
I was wrong! I was given a NY Strip by the grill chef and a piece of grilled chicken breast and the chicken was completely raw. That is the cardinal sin of any restaurant, serving raw chicken that can ultimately get you extremely sick. Mind you, these were thinly sliced breasts so there’s no excuse as to why they couldn’t be fully cooked. The steak was low quality, chewy and tasteless despite it being medium rare. I think I’ve had better steak at Ponderosa! The sausage was probably the highlight but not by much because it tasted very generic.
This restaurant is not open to the public, just the residents and their guests but don’t worry you’re not missing anything special. They get an extra star for scenery, the pool area is nice and relaxing. The service was just ok, nothing horrible but nothing memorable either.

The Ocean Club… on key biscayne…

I love visiting the Ocean Club in Key Biscayne. From the moment you get to the gate the staff is friendly, well mannered, and very responsible.
They have so many amenities: tennis courts, basketball hoops, beach volleyball court, an abundance of pools, jacuzzis, and cabanas! They even give guests towels at the pool and offer a restaurant and poolside/​beachside bar service. Their are plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas available as well.
The property is beautifully maintained. It makes walking the grounds a pleasurable experience. All in all it doesn’t get better than this. Paradise!

if you have to ask how much, you can’t afford it.
