The restaurant is NOT open for dinner or take-out even though they are taking reservations & people's $$ for take-out orders. We made a reservation & showed up to a closed up restaurant & a guy outside trying to figure out how to get his money back from a take-out order he placed. Do NOT place an order or reservation! This shouldn't even be an option on here!

We love South Ocean Grill, however they are currently closed for renovations. We found out the hard way after being able to book through Opentable, showing up for our reservations only to find out that they are closed! Disappointing for sure!! I’ve checked Google and their website and neither mention their temporary closure. Looks like someone dropped the ball in updating info!

Restaurant wasn’t open even though we had a confirmed reservation, which I now see is a frequent complaint. If you are going to close for renovations or whatever else, give your reservation platform a heads up. I’ll never try this place again or recommend.

We made a reservation for Valentine’s Day & when we got there the place was closed with no sign on the door & the phone was out of service. Extremely disappointing & unprofessional. They should’ve stopped taking reservations.

We made reservations forValentine,s Day. When we arrived at the restaurant it was closed. No sign on the door explaining why it was closed. Other diners drove up and said they had reservations too. I tried calling the telephone number no answer. Later we found out it was under new ownership and it was closed for renovations.
