Ocean Hai

The Sippin' Santa pop-up at the Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach perfectly captures Florida's holiday spirit! Combining tropical vibes with festive cheer, this restaurant is an adorable, coastal escape right across from the ocean. The beachy holiday mugs were the star of the night--and they're even available for purchase! The food was also delicious! Definitely recommend the miso soup, the presentation was next level.

The breakfast buffet was enjoyable. The only concern I had was witnessing the staff clearing dishes from an adjacent table, one of them put a jar of coffee creamer on the tray with the cleared dishes. Another member of staff removed the creamer and said something to the other two. They looked at him funny as he walked it to the beverage bar and put it on ice to, I assume, reuse for the next guest. My problem with this is that it was already put on the dirty dishes tray and before that, you don't know if the guest drank from it or touched the rim of it to their coffee cup on which their lips had been. I suppose it could be said of any table condiment, but an uncovered container is certainly more at risk of contamination than a closed catsup bottle.

The view here is gorgeous, and perhaps this place is worth visiting for that alone, but if you order anything stick to the sushi. The bao buns were cold and lacked the soft, fluffy texture that they're supposed to have; the flavors in the octopus were good but the meat itself was tough and had a weird texture. The worst dish was the fried chicken: the supposed gochujang sauce tasted like Frank's red hot, and what was advertised as a "pecan cornbread souffle" was really just a tough, crumbly corn muffin. The only item that was not a disappointment was their sushi roll. Overall, a good place for the view and maybe a drink or sushi roll, but not a spot I'll be returning to for the food.

This restaurant is located in the beautiful Wyndham Grand Hotel, since I was attending a conference here it afforded me the opportunity to visit this restaurant a number times. With each visit I was reminded how consistent the service and food was the entire week, the staff here is very accommodating and professional.There was nothing served here that I didn't enjoy starting with my first meal, a very high quality tender New Strip cooked perfectly medium rare with a salad and vegetable fried rice this was all served after a number of wonderful shared appetizers which included shrimp dumplings, steak tips, egg rolls. I also enjoyed a catered meal from Ocean Hai for an event I was attending at the hotel this included a wonderful rendition of a surf and turf theme including a beautiful Beef Filet and a large portion of Chilean Sea Bass which started with a incredible cocktail flight and finished with a delicious crème brûlée.Even though the meals here were planned out well ahead of time for our group attending the conference this is definitely a restaurant I'd visit when in the area whether or not I stayed at the hotel...

As much as I was hoping to like this restaurant, it did not live up to expectations. They are located inside the Wyndham Grand Clearwater Resort and due to this, the pricing is very reflective. We were staying nearby at the Hyatt Regency so it was just a short walk away.The dishes all looked beautiful but the service was incredibly slow and the quality of food was just sub-par. The soup we ordered (not pictured) was full of pepper and the two people that tried it hated it. The waiter saw this and didn't even bother offering a different option. Now the sushi was good, and I did enjoy that. However everything else was alright and felt overpriced for what we were offered. The restaurant was empty (only one other table was occupied) yet it took nearly 2 hours for us to eat. The waiter had disappeared for most of our meal and would only come when it was time to bring out dishes. I definitely think there is room for improvement with a revamp of hospitality training and a redo of their menu. The restaurant looked beautiful but I think the emptiness spoke for itself.

We have eaten here a few times and never had anything but the best service, fabulous food and always love the ambiance.

My dad and I went here for Christmas dinner. It wasn't crowded at all. I really wanted the jollof rice since i also visited Ghana and wanted to try the chefs spin on it but they only had the kimchi fried rice. The inside of the restaurant was nicely designed! I definitely want to go back and the lobster fried rice with the oysters.Also, the crème brûlée was absolutely delicious! The best I've had in a long time.

Jason and his team at Ocean Hai were absolutely fantastic in making our son's wedding an absolutely beautiful and successfull event. The food was awesome and the attention to the fine details were outstanding from the time we arrived until the last person left. They were on point with their service and making sure everyone was satisfied with every detail, from the initial setup to their food and drinks to accommodating the wedding traditions of a champagne toast, cutting the cake and tossing the bouquet. With the aftermath of two recent hurricanes, Jason and his crew went over and above to make sure our event was the most beautiful we could have ever expected. They were extremely professional and accommadating to our every desire. I would highly recommend Ocean Hai, for their food/drinks, location, ambiance, and professional staff.

Tried the ramen with shrimp, showed up luke warm so I had to send it back. Ate the four shrimp before they took it though. Bill came and they Charged 19% service fee! Missed it In the fine print on the menu. Will give it another try maybe.

The best restaurant on Clearwater Beach hands down. While we found several restaurants that were awesome back in 2019, this year Ocean Hai was one of the few that maintained its excellence for service, food and ambiance. First a thank you to GM Seth who arranged our reservation weeks ago even though he was out on travel. We ere very surprised at the wonderful surprise he had for us celebrating a special occasion. And Sergio, Restaurant Manager and of curse Rauf who was our server and excellent throughout. Our son and wife had recently visited so we had an idea of what to order. Appetizers crab Rangoon and shrimp pot stickers which were tasty and excellent. For entrees gulf grouper and seabass also tasty, full of flavor. And the shrimp fried rice (hint ask for them to lessen sauce as we did). Dessert was tough to select as were so full but we ordered the chokoreto and subbed vanilla for chocolate ice cream. Seated in a private area away from the sun, it felt like we were the only ones there. A wonderful experience and our thanks to everyone for making it a memorable evening.
