| - Hmmmmm, what a yummy night! To celebrate my fathers birthday myself and my wife, along with my sister and her family took dad and mom to Ocean Grill. I will truly say that I had a great time and some great food.
I have never been to Ocean Grill and when I walked in I was a bit taken back on how small it was but I liked it. My whole party was already seated as I parked the car in the lot where Ocean Grill customers were validated. Being downtown madison...parking sucks and the lot is close and nice to have.
My seafood chowder was delicious and a great way to start my meal. Along with my chowder the table got a calamari appetizer that was good but served with a peanut sauce that just was....well, I do not like peanuts of peanut butter so....i did not like it.
For my meal, instead of ordering an entree, did the three "small" plates to make a meal. I loved this feature as I could sample a variety of things and choose what I wanted. Now, being a scallop fan I got the prosciutto wrapped scallops, the wasabi scallops, and the seafood enchiladas. All three were amazing, cooked well, and the plate was cleaned quickly!
The rest of my party shared the same sentiments that I did about their meals and overall we had a great night.
Was it the best seafood I have had...nope, not even close but then again we are in Madison. For Madison, the Ocean Grill was great! I also loved that they were good with the infant in our group and had flipper on the TV...LOL.
