The sushi was amazing and the drinks were great too I think the Tiki Bar is amazing and that it is worth the price that it is.

The Isles is the only restaurant on the Beach in OIB. My husband and I have always enjoyed going there and sitting outside at the Tikki Bar. The Bartenders are always friendly and attentive. The food is ALWAYS delicious and delivered hot. Our only complaint is this past year, (2021), they served a very shortened menu. We don't necessarily think they need to go back to the old menu of too many options, but a daily special of some type might be welcomed. I know we didn't go to the restaurant as frequently as we usually do, because we got bored with the same ole menu items, (we live at our house March-October). Overall though if your just here for a vacation, you will not go wrong going to the Isles. Beautiful views and Great food. For sure check theIr hours, the hours in 2021 were shortened because like so many, they were short staffed. Also, we suggest you make a reservation if you don't intend to sit at the bar.

They changed their offering of seating since last year. Now outdoor seating only. Service was o.k. A little slow but they were busy. Food was also o.k. Had the shrimp tacos. Not the best ever or the worst ever. They were o.k.

We sat outside at the Tiki bar. We ordered the queso dip appetizer. Dip was great but there were stale chips in the basket. Not all were stale so not sure if they had old ones in the bin? Ordered cheeseburger. Cheeseburger was good but the fries were stale. I am guessing they don't fry new ones for each order. These were soggy, like they had been sitting on a steam table. Won't be back.

Options are limited for a more upscale dining experience at Ocean Isle, especially ocean front. I was prepared to pay the $103 tab but I expected better service, quality of food, and overall experience. Upon entry the hostess was not informed on seating options although it was early (6 pm dining hour) and the restaurant was relatively empty. We had to stand almost 10 minutes as she left to "look around." The hostesses were wearing beach attire which seemed odd. We ordered Naked Oyster Rockfeller as a starter. They were uneventful and tasted more like bacon. Of course, this is "Covid" but my glass of wine was served in a plastic bathroom style cup. Our table of 3 ordered Flounder Po"Boy, Shrimp & Grits, and I had the crab stuffed flounder with garlic mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables. Theirs was "just okay." My entree was luke warm, the flounder was dry and it definitely needed more sauce. We ordered the Live by Chocolate to share for dessert. That was really good, especially with the raspberry sauce drizzled over the plate and the chocolate ganache atop. The view was nothing spectacular either. It's more of a pool view rather than an ocean view. I would personally search for better options if you are going to pay these prices for a meal.

We chose to eat inside. Very pretty atmosphere. Outside seating has pool/ocean view. Lots of choices...good food.

Visiting for family beach wedding. Had group of 12 for dinner. Slow service. One person in our group did not get meal until everyone else was almost done eating. Waitress said because another server took her plate by accident. When her salmon dish finally arrived, it was raw in the middle so she politely sent it back to be cooked more. Waitress returned a few minutes later and asked rudely, "We need to know just exactly how you would like this cooked". What!? How about just not raw! We didnt order sushi! All other dishes were bland with no flavor. Definitely way too expensive for the quality. We will not be back.

Had a nice dinner. Food was good, could of been a little warmer. Service was very good. Prices a little high. Steak the wife had needed seasoning, and no salt or pepper on the table due to the virus. Seafood was good. Recommend.

Took our family for dinner. It was our first time here. It was great. Sat outside overlooking the ocean. Food and service were great. Plus, they take reservations. That is a big plus at the beach where sometimes one may have to wait upwards of an hour

Poor rating is for wait staff. Our waitress was more interested in chatting with her friends and another literally had a black shower cap on her head while bringing food to the table. After 3 tries my husbands steak came back cooked correctly. Tuna was great and blackened pasta was great. Hire new wait staff and maybe the restaurant will draw a crowd like it used too.

Everything was so amazing! I definitely recommend the calamari, bacon wrapped scallops & the ocean alfredo! You can’t go wrong with this amazing food, service, and view.

In the last 2 days we have had dinner there twice and lunch once. Returning for dinner tonight. Thanks to new management both dinner and lunch menus are full of wonderful choices at reasonable prices. Wife had shrimp tacos for lunch today; I had mahi tacos. Both were delicious. Dinner menu includes a "healthy choices" selection in addition to a large number of "regular " options. Sit on the open air veranda and take in the sights and sounds of the ocean. Best dining in Ocean Isle!! Don't miss it.

My wife and I decided to try a new place for my birthday dinner. We were seated in a perfect spot, a corner table on the outside deck. The view of the ocean and beach was stunning. There was a slight breeze blowing which cooled the sun. Our dishes were good and the service was adequate. I had a wedged salad which was gargantuan (3 wedges of lettuce) and very tasty. My wife had a salad with a crabcake on top. Her salad was tasty but the crabcake was lacking (full disclosure - we lived in Maryland for 38 yeara so we have been spoiled on world-class crabcakes). I had a lime tequila chicken breast which consisted of two decent sized breasts with roasted corn sauce, very tasty. We had to wait almost 30 minutes for our main courses to arrive.
