    Had a wonderful waiter, Francisco ! Food was great. Wish the calamari wasn’t so oily with aioli on top which may it a little off putting but still had nice flavor.

    I had the Octopus Carpaccio and baby Arugula salad appetizer …excellent The entree was Yellowfin by tuna seaweed salad and accompaniments, done precisely as I had requested. Our server was there when we needed him but never hovering or negligent. Parking nearby was a challenge…valet parking would be helpful. Finally, it’s surely one of the most elegant dining rooms in Boston.

    Expensive as expected when going to a restaurant like this, but I travel the country for a living i just gotta say that they have, hands down, the best crab cakes I have ever tried. Try the crab cakes. The Oysters were amazing as well. Honestly, everything I ordered there exceeded my expectations.

    This is supposed to be a high-end restaurant the prices are ridiculously high which is ok if the food would match but it didn't food Bland portions ridiculously small. Service was great my waitress try her best to make us comfortable. I think this guy was the manager he was very invited checking on us for choosing Oceanaire, I got to keep it real they got to do something about the taste of the food and Portion sizes or low the price.
