    The food is great and ambience is nice. But the service was lacking. We were put in a terrible table near the kitchen. They moved us upon request. But it took a long time for the waiter to take our order, and a long time for someone to refill our wine glasses. There was a sense that we didn’t really matter.

    Hello Celeste, Thank you for taking the time to review Oceans. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our food and found our ambiance to be nice. However, we're truly sorry to hear about your experience with the service and the original seating. We pride ourselves on our attentive and prompt service, and it seems we fell short during your visit. We appreciate your feedback and will definitely use it to improve. We hope you'll give us another chance to provide the exceptional service you deserve. Best regards, The Management Team

    We had a lovely dinner at Oceans. The fish was cooked perfectly and the service was spot on and our server very knowledgeable about the menu and fish preparation. I wish I dint live on the other side of the country as this would become a regular dining place for me.

    I’ve dined there several times, this visit was somewhat all around disappointing. The service was a bit to slow and the food was ok but less than on previous visits
