From the moment we stepped in to the time we left everything was perfect. Was there for our mother's bday and Oceanaire did not disappoint. We were well taken care of and they made her day amazing. Special shoutout to Tony for his willingness to take our picture as its rare we all get together like that.

This was an amazing visit! The service was so well done. The manager stopped by more than once to check in on us. And though we had to send a couple of drinks back, they were very accommodating and professional about the situation. Big thanks to Ronnie(? Bobby) and the absentee Robert for taking such good care of us.

The meal was excellent and our server was very good. I found it odd that it was restaurant week and they would olny give you that menu on request. I'm not a big fan of restaurant week so it was no big deal to me although a little bit sneaky on there part.

Restaurant Week - lobster bisque was a little floury; the halibut was a little too firm; but all the core flavors were yummy and the service was warm. I’ll come back and try the regular menu items, which looked great. Our favorite was the lemon-parm asparagus and the key lime pie was light and tangy!

Service was good - the busser was outstanding and super polite! The oysters were excellent but overall the platter wasn’t worthwhile. The mixed seafood, soft shell, and lobster Mac and cheese were so salty - way too salty. The baked Alaska and cheesecake were disappointing Overall it wasn’t worth $120/head

Oceanaire provided a wonderful experience to help me celebrate my 30th birthday. From the prompt greeting at the door to the knowledgeable servers to the strong drinks to the exceptional tasting food, it was truly an amazing time. All of my friends kept talking about how good the food was the next day.

The service and ambience were superior as always. The food left a bit to be desired, especially considering the fact that it’s pricey. The shrimp and grits was salty; the prawn appetizer was overcooked. The best part of the meal was the Caesar salad, which was perfect.

Started out great. Had at least 3 or 4 people taking great care of us. Ordered appetizers which were quite good. Ordered dinner. Things went downhill from there. Everything was brought at different times and I had to ask 3 Tim’s for the simple bowl of chowder my son ordered. He got it just AFTER everyone had completely finished their dinners. They redeemed themselves a bit by bring us a baked Alaska on the house but never apologized for the mix up. Too many cooks in the kitchen. Should stick to one server.

Magnificent 20th anniversary dinner and fantastic attention from our master-server Nelson. He guided us through Oceanaire's incredible wine list and menu options, and helped us craft the perfect dining experience for our very special occasion. The shrimp appetizer is spicy and plentiful, and the crab cake and salmon entres are fresh and delicious. But! Save room for a fantastic dessert! It is worth waiting for! We'll be back soon! Hope to see you there!
