We went to Oceanaire since our other two options didn't have any room. We got a little worried since it wasn't busy at all. (It did get a little busy later on). The service - outstanding. The food - WOW SO GOOD! The drinks - great! I 100% recommend this place and will definitely be returning!

Love this place been here multiple times, but tonight was worst service ever!! Had reservations came in ignored for 20 minutes, went and talked to manager sent someone over that took a drink order didn’t get water bread or anything!! Took another 20 minutes for drinks, waiter didn’t come over to check on us till he saw another member of staff come over to try and help us and all progressively got worst from there!! Talked to manager at end of evening and he already knew we were not happy!!! What a way to spend your 5 year anniversary in a place where you normally get superb service and helpful staff!!!

Anniversary dinner was lovely. The bone in ribeye was perfectly cooked and the lobster, shrimp, scallops and crab cake were tender and succulent.

It is a nice place. We were disappointed with the food. We had oysters which were fresh and very good. The bread was hard, probably stale and reheated. We had a seafood salad, the lettuce was wilted and not crispy and fresh. We opted to stop there and went elsewhere for our entree.

Paige was an excellent server. She was very patient and even offered suggestions when we couldn’t decide. She was very attentive and great for us on Father’s Day.

I go here often as it has become one of my favorite restaurants. I made a reservation for my birthday and requested a personalized menu . I was not informed that they stopped personalizing menus until I was seated and asked . I felt like someone should have told me this as this just makes it special. Also my server was very abrasive. He did not offer the specials or explain the menu. I’m used to my servers being very attentive and welcoming this unfortunately was not my experience this time. The food was still good even though my order was wrong .
