MediterraneanOcean Village
A Mediterranean restaurant in Ocean Village with too few reviews to rank — 2 so far, averaging 2.5 on Tripadvisor.
Gibraltar Index
Not scored yetNot scored yet
Only 2 reviews so far — below our 15-review threshold, so we hold off on an Index Score rather than trust a number that thin. Our fortnightly read will score it once it crosses 15. How this works

Our review
The Ocean Grill is a Mediterranean restaurant on the Ocean Village Promenade. It has 2.5 on Tripadvisor from 2 reviews, only one of them with any text, and nothing on Google, so with fewer than 15 reviews it is listed but not ranked. The reviews were re-read on 6 September 2026; the one readable review is from October 2018.
That review is mixed and pointed. The food was very good, but the staff were unfriendly and no help with the menu, spoke no English and made the diner uncomfortable, and a swordfish arrived with nothing at all alongside it. The reviewer did not plan to return.
One eight-year-old account is not a verdict, and the place may well have changed hands or closed since. Nothing more recent says either way.
Come, if at all, having checked it is still open and what the welcome is like, because there is almost nothing to go on. Nobody from Gibraltar Index has eaten here; this write-up is from the reviews.
Written from the Tripadvisor reviews and its Tripadvisor score on 6 September 2026, not from a meal we ate — nobody from Gibraltar Index has eaten here. The recurring themes it draws on are below.

How it compares
It holds 2.5 out of 5 on Tripadvisor from 2 reviews — well below the Gibraltar median of 4.1 across 106 restaurants with enough reviews to rank, and on only a handful of reviews, so treat it as indicative.
How the Gibraltar Index Score is built
It is not an average of the two. Each source is weighted by how many reviews it carries, then pulled toward the Gibraltar average so a high score from a handful of reviews cannot outrank a strong score from thousands. The Ocean Grill scores 2.5 from 2 on Tripadvisor — below the 15-review threshold, so it is not scored yet. The fortnightly refresh will score it once it clears 15 reviews.
We read the 1 most recent Tripadvisor reviews and summarised what recurs, in our own words; the reviews we drew on are quoted below, attributed to their authors. The Tripadvisor and Google scores are each shown 1:1 as those platforms publish them; the Index Score is ours and the formula is above. Nobody from Gibraltar Index has eaten here, so nothing is a first-hand verdict.
