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

    I get everything is more expensive, but $10 a scallop and $25 a crab cake is not a fair value

    Beautiful restaurant poor kitchen execution. Branzino overcooked. It’s a high end fish house. Ouch! Asparagus came to the table as we were 75% done with the entrees. Ouch! The waiter did apologize and offer free dessert. Valet parking $24 dollars. The Prime Rib down the street valet parking is$12. They want loyal repeat customers. Oceanaire is a good restaurant it could be a great restaurant. If management reads this tell the waiters not to reach across the table in front of the person who is paying the check to give a fork to the adjacent diner. Walk around to them . Ouch!!

    It was a special birthday date with my wife, the host acknowledged in the reservation, and there was nothing special. The sourdough tasted off, the fresh washed plain veggies is a weird choice to offer, the crab cakes were excellent, we got a water refill once and our bottle was taken away, never re-offered, and my wife did not care for her main course, chicken fried lobster and her mashed potatoes were dry and off-putting flavor. They were more worried about cleaning up plates with food still on them. Oh and we were placed in a tightly fitting booth with not enough light to read the menu, a difficult blue with white print. A chef had come out to another table with a pen light stating its a known problem.
