    My husband and I had a great time at Oceanaire. The Wagyu beef was excellent! Our server was great. She made sure that all of our food was perfect.

    The memorial weekend special was amazing with options for everyone. The filet was cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth. Waiters were very attentive.

    My wife celebrated her 70th birthday with some good friends. Our server was phenomenal and made her birthday a wonderful celebration. The food was delicious but it is expensive buy worth it. I cannot complement our server Kate enough and I would return to the restaurant just because of her.

    One of my favorite places to dine. The wait staff is usually superb but today I had Minor who took things to another level. From deboning my Dover Sole to recommending a white wine that was extremely close to my favorite Pouilly Fuisse, which they don't serve by the glass it's harder for me to get out these days, but glad I was able to dine out today.

    What a fabulous experience! All the staff members were incredible—customer service is clearly number one. Our server, Paige, was not only wonderful but also warm and funny. The food...well, what can I say? All four of us were over the moon. The seafood was delicious, fresh and very tasty and all the sides were equally good. I will definitely make this one of my "regulars."

    Was put in a booth that must have been spaced for kids to sit at. Not much room for adults to be seated.
