I came here to celebrate with my boyfriend, and this place is definitely a great choice for a date night. The ambiance is perfect, really setting the mood. We started with a bottle of wine and ordered the Caesar salad as an appetizer. Now, I'm super picky when it comes to my Caesar salads, but honestly, this one hit the mark. it was crisp, flavorful, and just the right amount of dressing.For my main, I went with the Chilean sea bass, and wow. It was so flaky and perfectly cooked, the sauce was incredible, and the whole dish just tasted fresh and light. My boyfriend had the grass-fed filet mignon with bone marrow butter, along with some white truffle mac & cheese, and everything was absolutely delicious. I could've eaten the mac & cheese all night!To top it all off, the service was on point--attentive but not overwhelming. All in all, we had an amazing experience, and I'll definitely be dreaming about this place again soon.

The service was impeccable--attentive, friendly, and never rushed.The espresso martinis were smooth and delicious, and every dish we ordered was outstanding. The Steak Oscar-style is a must--perfectly cooked and topped with a rich, creamy lobster topping. The Oysters Rockefeller were equally incredible.Located on the second floor right on the beach, it's the perfect spot for dinner while watching the sunset. We stayed for hours, enjoying the view, and never felt rushed.From the food to the service to the scenery, everything was exceptional. 21 Oceanfront is a must-visit!

Stumbled upon this while in the area looking for dinner. The indoor decor for the holidays was very well done, and reminded me of a place you'd find in New York. Everything including the sides were pretty pricy, so expect that before going in. The French onion soup bowl was very good, but seemed a little small for being a bowl. The crab cake appetizer had great flavor. For cocktails, we ordered the Lavender Lemon Drop and the Cucumber martini, both we loved.

This was our first visit (mid Dec 2024) and we were so impressed by the ambiance, service, historic vibe and of course the FOOD! I had the softball cut swordfish and holy smokes, so incredible!! My husband devoured the Cioppino and loved it. We started with one of the best shrimp cocktail appetizers we have ever had, and certainly the most generous. There was live music in the bar area and festive holiday music in the dining room. Valet parking service was smooth and easy. A great evening in NPB!

21 Oceanfront exceeded all my expectations. The ambiance is stunning, the views of the ocean are gorgeous. But most of all... the fine dining experience is amazing. They made my 40th birthday so special and my heart is full. The FOOD! WOW!We had a party of 10 and almost everyone had someone different so were able experience the whole menu. If you are a foodie and appreciate fine dining, 21 Ocean front is for you!I highly recommend. (And I'm a picky girl lol)Thank you 21 Oceanfront, you are the GEM OF ORANGE COUNTY!!! May god continue to bless your establishment:)

Absolutely lovely place. Came here for my wife's birthday and it was nothing short of amazing. Every one of the staff was nothing short of courteous and glowing. View at sunset was stunning. Food is a 10 out of ten. The suggested jumbo lobster tail was amazing as was lobster mac and cheese. My filet center cut was delicious and au gratin potatoes hit the spot. You all will have my continued business from now on and restaurants should learn from you. Thank you so much for the pleasant dining experience. People this is a wonderful establishment. I'll be passing on the word to friends and family!
