- PGPaul Glott3 days ago5.0The Oceanaire has never disappointed us, but our recent visit was particularly excellent. Our server, Susie knew the menu perfectly and made some elegant suggestions for those of us with special diets. The food was delicious, fresh, and abundant. Dessert was wonderful, and we will certainly come back for such a fine fine-dining experience.
- KLKevin LanhamJan 6, 20265.0Absolutely Amazing! I do not understand why this restaurant wasn’t packed. The service was outstanding, and it was honestly the best seafood we’ve ever had. - We’ve travelled the world and eaten at $400/plate restaurants in Paris and London…. None had food that compared to this place. The chicken fried lobster was absolutely amazing. Can’t recommend it enough.
- CTCatalina TrevinoJan 2, 20265.0My husband and I went here tonight for our anniversary dinner, and Amber truly made the experience exceptional. We already love this place and always have a great time, but Amber took it to another level. She was incredibly sweet, knowledgeable, and personable. She genuinely made us feel like we were being taken care of by a friend, while still remaining completely professional. The food and drinks are always amazing but I really wanted to give a special shoutout to our server tonight. ❤️🥂
- AGAnthony GalvinDec 25, 20253.0This was my third time at Oceanaire. First two times were good. Went there for Christmas. They were a half hour late seating us with reservations. They didn't have my favorite blue point oysters, so I tried a couple others and they were just mid. I asked for medium rare on my dry aged prime rib and got rare almost blue. I sent it back and it wasn't much better than before. I ordered the asparagus, truffle mashed potatoes, mushrooms, and though they didn't have it on the menu, cream style spinach (my waitress suggested they could accommodate). My wife ordered the Chilean Sea bass seared. Nothing had seasoning. Everything was very bland. The Chilean Sea bass was somewhat overcooked. I could go on but no need. I wasn't happy for $300. Not sure if I'll come back again. However, I had a very nice server. I'll try Eddie V's next time
- KGKelly GeeslinDec 24, 20254.0Our attentive server was friendly, yet professional. Her service, plus the attention the support and managerial staff seemed to give every table, bumped my overall rating up to a 4-star. Had I based the score solely on my food, it would be a 3 for me, but my husband & mom loved their appetizer and entree selections and would likely rate the their food 4 or 5. Just know that Nantucket Bay scallops, though a plentiful serving, are small. I just wasn't expecting scallops the size of a nickle. Lesson learned. BUT...had they been hot, and not just barely warm, and had the butternut squash puree they rested on been more than just a sparse schmeer, I would have given the food a 4. This was our 3rd visit and we'll go back. I'll just order better.
