Ocean 12 1212 Waugh Drive, Houston, TX 77019

"The music and the scenery was excellent. The live music was nice! The server was good I can tell he was overwhelmed from having so many tables, but he still did his job well. Thank you Eduardo. Parking $40 VS. Valet $20 I think the parking should just be $20 overall. Once I arrived 3 girl staff members were arguing and didn't seat me. They just pointed where I should sit. I would've sat in the wrong area. The food is highly over priced let alone the parking. We didn't get refills on drinks. The cutlery and plates were sitting on table when arrived I had to ask for new cutlery. The Ocean 12 salad and oysters were the highlight meal. Alone I spent $154 for a night out. I ordered Aha Tuna (which comes with no sides just the tuna steak on a plate), Ocean 12 Salad (was good and refreshing I will order that to go often), and a side of Spinach. Nice to have experienced the fine dining, but not so much fine dining. I've been to fine dining and they're not fine dining."

"I had an amazing time at Ocean 12 with my family and friends. Our waitress was very friendly and the food was cooked to our liking. We even got a chance to meet Keith, he was one of the owner’s. He was so pleasant and accommodating. When I told him it was my birthday, he went above and beyond to ensure that I had an enjoyable experience. I’ll definitely be back."

"I loved the ambiance of the restaurant, & the service was great my server Rachelle was very insightful about the menu. The food was SO FLAVORFUL I got the Caesar salad, stuffed chicken, mashed potatoes, & cream spinach. Their drinks are also good as well I got the informal affair which I loved. 10/10 experience I will most definitely be coming back again!"

"We visited this restaurant for my hubbys birthday and it didn’t disappoint at all. The restaurant itself was beautiful, they had a live band with a lady with a beautiful voice singing jams. After her session ended they kept that r&b music flowing! Now on the drinks, food , appetizers & hookah. The food presentation, the flavor of everything was delicious. We had no complaints at all about and we had leftovers to take home. I had lemon drops, my hubby had old fashions, we ate, the steak , spinach, stuffed chicken, mashed potatoes, corn & devil eggs for appetizer. I’m a hookah girl so the fact that they cater to that as well made me so happy. I had the blueberry mint flavor, and it was the bomb and lasted a while with no refill .Thanks to Keith for taking care of the booking for our large party. We will definitely dine in again in the near future."

"I was taken here as a surprise for my birthday. When we arrived, it was $20 to park. The parking lot is small, and it wasn't like our car was being parked in a secured location. Parking was cluttered also. We sat on the patio, which had a nice ambiance. We were asked if we had reservations and was left dumbfounded. My wife and sister tried to make reservations online but weren't able to. They also tried calling, but they never cared to update the business phone number. No matter if it's a party of one or 6 (as in our case), there's a 20% gratuity charge. For that, you would think the waitress knew the menu. Wrong! She only knew of certain items since she didn't eat seafood. We ordered drinks and an appetizer while we waited for our food to come. Old Fashioned are overpriced. $16 for Forester, $20 for Makers Mark & $24 for Angel's Envy if i recall correctly. Talk about egregious. 2 other drinks were ordered as well that tasted like Kool-Aid. Food came out, and it was mid at best. Some were better than others. $700 total bill with a $122 gratuity charge. Service wasn't even worth it. We asked repeatedly to leave the pitcher of water at the table, and it was refused. Menus are copied paper and the to go box was cardboard. If this was supposed to be fine dining, then Ocean 12 missed the mark. A gentleman who worked there came and asked how our experience was, only to see him trying to rush us to leave so they could put tables together for the next party. The patio wasn't even packed. I always recommend people to try places for themselves. This place I won't come back to. Thanks for the birthday pie, though!"
