- JTJeff ThelenNov 13, 20255.0Was at a private event and the service was stunning, food was just ok but it was a limited menu for the event and was all served at once so I understand the complexities of feeding 20 people at the same time. Salmon was over cooked but still tasted good.
- HVHope VeurinkNov 10, 20255.0A rep hosted an event here for a group of us, and the food was very good! Had a three course meal, and I had the filet mignon- very good. Would recommend!
- JSJessica SchautOct 28, 20255.0Delicious seafood cooked just right. Seafood tower was good, but overpriced for what's served. As the tower came out, I wish the server explained the sauces provided. Service friendly, though delayed and felt rushed to make a decision at times. Dim ambient lighting makes an all-around atmosphere whether a romantic dinner or dinner with friends/family.
- JDjessica defenbaughOct 25, 20255.0I go to oceanaire for very anniversary or birthday. They make it a day to remember. They go out of their way to make sure the customer is satisfied. The food and drinks are amazing. I absolutely love it here
- LVLauren VanValkenburgOct 24, 20253.0Went for dinner on a Friday evening. The service was friendly but noticeably uncoordinated and slow. Our table ordered two steaks cooked the same way, yet one arrived overcooked. Unfortunately, our server never checked in while the food was on the table, so there wasn’t an opportunity to mention it. Toward the end of the meal, I found a piece of debris floating in my water. When I brought it to management’s attention, the response felt indifferent and no real solution was offered. Overall, the restaurant seems to cater to an older crowd that may be less particular about food quality or attentive service.
