    Oceans was a pleasant surprise. As residents of the Phoenix area, we had never dined there before. Although the restaurant is pretty small and the seating is a bit crowded, the food and service was outstanding. We would definitely go back the next time we're in the Palm Springs area.

    Food & service was excellent although it took awhile to get our dinners after ordering. Reason given was the swordfish steaks were very thick took longer to cook. They were excellent. Will certainly return again to try the rack of lamb

    We were five and quickly seated in at a nice corner table near the front w special attention to our wheelchair diner. Great help with the menu w good suggestions. All served promptly and with care. My family diners loved it and the food and my husband and I have gone here for the last six years after we read a nice review. Has a community atmosphere w other diners and the staff.

    Excellent in all respects. Fresh seafood dishes that are creative and tasty. You also can enjoy several pasta dishes and meat (beef, lamb) dishes if you do not prefer seafood. But it is the delicious seafood dishes that make this restaurant shine!

    Whenever we visit the Coachella Valley each year, we make sure we visit several times our favorite restaurant there, Oceans. The staff has been there for many years and it’s a well run operation. The service is excellent and the food always outstanding. We can’t recommend it highly enough.

    The Oceans staff stood out for my husband’s birthday dinner with their hospitality. We asked to be moved early in our visit when a baby at a nearby table began to cry, and the staff handled the move quietly and gracefully. They also accommodated my husband’s need to sit in his walker rather than in a chair. The outside of the venue lacks easy access to a mobility ramp, but we understand that the building was constructed a long time ago, and there is a ramp—just not all that close. The interior of the venue is nicely appointed, not cramped. The food was perfectly prepared. No wonder this is one of the highest-rated restaurants in the valley!

    Restaurant small, cozy atmosphere. Lots of food choices, specialties are fish. Wine selection good and economical. We're food snobs, I ordered the lobster ravioli, wife ordered scallops. Both dishes we have made at home and better tasting. But not bad. Onion soup quite delightful, a bit of a take on french onion soup, but more onions, carrots, and no gruyere cheese. Very tasty. Would recommend, but a bit noisy with tables crowded together, food all okay but not outstanding.

    Never have heard of this restaurant so browsing through Open Table and it popped up….glad it did as this will remain on our go-to list!! Great food, great selection of dishes and a reasonable price for everything!! I had the Paella and it was one of the best I’ve had in a restaurant! Plenty of seafood, topped with a very large prawn and buried in the rice was a very plump and tasty chicken thigh!! We’ll be back!!
