Firstly the positives :Scenic, Beachfront location, plenty of space (until a noisy group of tourists parked right next to our table of two, so we moved). Bright and comfortable decor, lots of cushions etc. Staff were very helpful and probably 'too' enthusiastic (more about that later). Given I was in hospitality and lived here for 20+ years, I have a wide and varied experience living in Bali. So when I post a review (either positive or not so positive, I try to be fair and factual, so as to help management with feedback). I very rarely go to these 'tourist' establishments as I feel nowadays they are not catering for expats in terms of value, but catering for tourists who don't mind paying Australian prices when on holidays overseas. Now for my experience. The not so positive. Very expensive food. No entree under 150k ++. So we ordered a pizza to share. (very average quality, had so much better at my regular establishments (Warung Italia , Moon face etc etc). When I asked for pepper mill , they could only supply dried oregano! I asked for Iced Lemon tea and was billed for Blackberry Ice/Chilled Apple at 55-65,000 ++! Asked for the bill (very disorganised), staff finally came with bill and card machine, then promptly disappeared! Had to ask for another staff member after 5 mins,. I joked to my companion if we got up and walked out without paying, all of a sudden staff would be all over us! So sadly I will not be back, and have already mentioned this disappointing experience to friends. It confirms why I almost never patronise these overpriced...

From the moment we arrived at Ocean Grand Beach Restaurant, we were swept away by the magic of it all. Nestled right by the water’s edge, this place offers more than just a meal — it’s a full sensory experience. The ambience was absolutely breathtaking, with the rhythmic sounds of the ocean in the background and the dazzling fire dancers lighting up the night sky in a performance that left us speechless.
But let’s talk about the food. We ordered the chilli crab, and without exaggeration, it was the best we have ever had. Perfectly cooked, richly flavoured, and served with care — each bite was pure heaven. It’s a dish we’ll be dreaming about for a long time.
What truly elevated the evening, though, was the exceptional service. Senja, Ketrin, and Pleno went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Their warmth, attentiveness, and eye for detail made us feel not just like guests, but like family. Whether it was recommending the perfect wine pairing or simply sharing a smile, their presence turned an already amazing evening into something truly special.
We left with full hearts, full stomachs, and a firm decision: we will be back. If you’re looking for a dining experience that combines world-class food, mesmerising entertainment, and outstanding hospitality, look no further than Ocean Grand. It’s...
Read moreI had the pleasure of dining at a remarkable seafood restaurant recently, where the highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the crab and lobster. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted by the warm and inviting Henny, setting the stage for a memorable culinary journey. The crab was cooked to perfection, its meat succulent and bursting with flavor, easily pulling apart with the gentlest tug. It was accompanied by a butter sauce that complemented it beautifully without overpowering its natural taste. The lobster, on the other hand, was equally impressive. Its tender flesh was delicately seasoned, allowing the freshness of the seafood to shine through. Both dishes were presented with such care and attention to detail that it was evident the chef takes great pride in their work. The service was impeccable, with staff going out of their way to ensure our dining experience was nothing short of perfect. It's rare to find a place that excels in both food quality and service, making this restaurant a must-visit for any...
