Phenomenal Food, Service & Experience

Annette is wonderful...so helpful and responsive. The food is absolutely delicious and a great value. We had our wedding at Jennette's Pier with a plated dinner and the waitstaff was so friendly and professional. Our guests complimented the food, service and beer/wine selections left and right. I would absolutely recommend Annette and her team!

We did a breakfast brunch following our 10 am wedding for 80 people at Ocean Boulevard Bistro. Our food was wonderful and we got so many compliments from guests. Annette was super helpful throughout the whole process leading up to the event and day of the wedding. When we ended up with 20 more guests than expected she was flexible and made it work wonderfully. She worked with us on everything to stay within my budget. If you have the chance to hold an event at Ocean Boulevard Bistro I highly recommend it!

The chef and Annette did an outstanding job under difficult conditions. The food was delicious. They had a small kitchen to work in and unusual service. Also, people were constantly roaming around them and they were friendly and helpful and produced a wedding dinner that people will talk about for a very long time!

We loved working with Annette & her team at Ocean Boulevard to cater our wedding in April at Jennette's Pier. They are true professionals in every way AND the quality of their food is AMAZING. From our initial tasting (think adult macaroni & cheese) to our wedding day (hello DIVINE crab cake appetizer), we enjoyed every moment and every bite of our experience with Ocean Boulevard. You will not be disappointed - call them immediately!!! They have loyal fans for life in us!!

We knew we were in for a treat the second we set foot in Ocean Boulevard for our tasting. The level of professionalism and vision from Annette and the team is second to none and the food just puts it over the top. Annette worked with us on tailoring our menu to what we were envisioning and creating a level of refinement that you typically don't see at a large wedding reception. The service at the event was top notch and we are still hearing from our guests on how good the food was! If you want a five-star experience that is worry-free, do yourself a favor and pick Annette and the team from Ocean Boulevard. Still thinking about that risotto!

Ocean Boulevard catered our daughter's wedding in the 4X4 area of the Outer Banks, NC. The food was delicious and we are still hearing from guests how it was some of the best food they've ever had at a wedding. Annette was very easy to work with and put up with my many emails and questions about every little detail. They brought plenty of help to make sure that the bars and kitchen staff could keep up with demand. When they left, the catering kitchen was spotless and all trash was removed from the venue. From the first meeting and tasting, my daughter and her fiance were sold on this caterer. They dined at the restaurant with friends and family, several times leading up to the event, and enjoyed every meal prepared and served by this top notch crew! We highly recommend Ocean Boulevard!!

The food for our reception was one of the most important factors for my husband and me. We like to think of ourselves as foodies and having a reception with anything less than amazing food wasn't an option for us. Ocean Boulevard rose to the occasion and surpassed our expectations and totally wowed our guests. My husband & I really enjoy sampling lots of different foods and dining small plates and tapas-style so we wanted something similar for our reception. We had never attended a wedding reception like this but put complete faith in the hands of Annette and her staff and they were fantastic! We had several passed apps and a few stationary ones for the cocktail hour which rolled into a new food station or small plate being passed about every 30 minutes. Every dish was almost better than the one before it! My husband & I were so glad we were able to take a few minutes to sample everything that night and knew we made the right decision with Ocean Boulevard! And they left us with a fridge full of leftovers and everything was still just as amazing the next day (or later that night!)! We also had a few guests with some dietary restrictions which they accommodated beautifully - including making one guest her own custom dinner due to an allergy. Not only was the food amazing but every interaction we had with them in planning was so enjoyable! The waitstaff and bartenders the night of were just awesome - so many guests have commented on how much fun they were and every one I've spoken with since has said it is "hands-down the best food I've ever had at a wedding". We can't wait to get back to Ocean Boulevard for dinner next time we're on the island and we're just looking for a reason to have another event for them to cater!
