Ocean Bistro is located at the Cavalier Hotel South Beach on Ocean Drive. I wasn't staying at the hotel but stopped for a drink and a bite to eat. The outdoor patio is lovely to relax and enjoy the setting. A little quieter than a lot of other places along Ocean Drive. I had a glass of white wine and half a dozen oysters. Very nice. My small negative was the accompaniment of saltine crackers that tasted stale. Other than that, I would recommend. Staff were pleasant and friendly. Good service.
