The food was great, but the waiter was focused on the upsell, and didn’t mention that his recommendations were double the price of most things on the menu. Even when I pointed to what I wanted on the menu, because it was so loud he couldn’t hear me, somehow I wound up with a different (but similar) dish- that I guess was a special and not on the menu- in any case, it was nearly twice the price of the item I pointed at I found out when I got the bill.
I don’t want my dining experience to feel like I’m being sold a used car. The food was great, don’t get me wrong, but this one is off the list permanently.
Steak and seafood were high quality and delicious but suffered in execution (e.g. meat cooked to incorrect doneness). Baked Alaska is a must-have.

The food at Oceanaire was delicious, as usual, but what really helped make last night’s experience memorable was our server, Erubiel E.
We had a large group, and he was incredibly patient with us, took the time to explain the menu and make thoughtful recommendations. Even with all of our questions and requests, he remained warm, attentive, and gracious throughout the evening. His recommendations were on point!
Great food is one thing, but a server who makes you feel well taken care of can really elevate the experience. I made sure to let the manager know before we left just how wonderful he was.
Looking forward to coming back.
