The Rooftop At Ocean Lodge - St. Simons

The food was delicious. It was a bit salty, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend avoiding the American Old Fashioned, but the other drinks were good. The 18oz Ribeye was excellent.

I arrived at 9pm with the intention of having a drink. The waitress was very rude and only informed us that they close at 9:30, implying that they were not willing to serve us. Everything I had seen online stated that they closed at 10. The restaurant has a lot of potential with a great atmosphere, but the terrible service ruins the experience.

To be clear, my experience is with the roof top restaurant and the service I received on my last two visits. Outstanding. The team is new (believed to be under new ownership or management) but my experience on both visits were great. The views are about the best for St Simons Island ... and the happy hour prices cannot be beat. Regardless of any past experiences, lighten up and give them another try. Bartender is very willing to accommodate anything he has access to for making you the perfect cocktail. The appetizers are perfect and the burger is great. YOU cannot beat the prices, the view, and the service. What more can you expect. The world needs to just relax and stop being so critical and mean. Enjoy it, be glad you're on the island .... good grief enjoy it. I will be back ... THANK YOU Ocean Lodge Restaurant staff!

My wife and I have been vacationing at the resort for several years. This trip was by far the very best. It starts with Chef/Manager Matt. He sets a wonderful example for his employees… friendly, helpful, enthusiastic and a plethora of positive attributes. The much needed improvements in the hotel were everywhere: the front desk, the rooftop bar/restaurant , overall cleanliness plus a wonderful staff. Loved the front desk ladies, the maintenance workers, servers, maids and our bartender. Great location. Thank you, Matt and too many friends to list.

This is an amazing resort. The beach is a short walk across a 2 lane street that's not too busy. The balcony is perfect for viewing the beach. There are properties all around, but it absolutely doesn't seem like it.The island seafood is absolutely worth going out every day. And, you get a lot for the price.The staff is also great. Deonte(bartender) made us amazing drinks when we asked for him to just put together something different. Star(hotel staff) made sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Toney(hotel staff) personally took the time to help me to the car. You could walk to the many local shops but driving is best because you will have bags. There is a pier where you can bring the setup and just fish. it even has benches to sit on. They are within walking distance of each other for the family that has shoppers and fishermen to still be in a safe distance from each other. I did feel safe being alone and walking to those shops.
