Oceanaire's food is excellent. The Rhode Island calamari was fried, but not too greasy. The grilled Norwegian salmon was recommended by the wait staff and was very moist, and not overcooked. The fish portion was very generous. It was served over risotto, making for a very filling meal. The key lime pie was okay, nothing special. The restaurant is beautiful. The tables are well spaced, so that health issues were not of concern. The wait staff was very busy handling a number of tables, but good natured.

Several dishes were not hot (asparagus, mushrooms and one main course of stuffed haddock). The filet mignon was overcooked (ordered medium rare and it came out medium-medium well).

We were there to celebrate a teammate birthday. The sea bass I had was far from excellent, the chicken fried lobster was great. Service was inconsistent.

The food was fantastic but the service we got was anything but. We got sat for our reservation but did not get greeted for about 5-10min. After which we ordered drinks and an appetizer but didn’t get our drinks until about 15min after we ordered them and appetizer about 45min later. It was very loud and not as romantic as reviews made it seem to be. Overall, we were a little dissatisfied with the venue, but the food was very good. Most likely will not go again.

Three of us ordered Filet Steaks including one Wagyu. All three were over cooked. Two were edible but my Wagyu was ordered Medium Rare and served Medium Well as well as being over salted. It took to long to get our server (which was a problem all night) to have it re done so I left it and had the sides. Also ordered a cocktail to start as Margarita on the rocks and salt and it was served by a different server, up as a martini. My Wagyu was taken off the bill but I was left without dinnerand its always uncomfortable for guests in that situation. I cook at home and still trying to figure out how a chef can mess this stuff up. They salt a 7oz Wagyu like its a 22 oz ribeye

My #1 favorite restaurant! Love this place!! Food is always top notch and the service is welcoming. This only down side is we made a reservation requesting a booth and we had to settle for a table since the booth seating weren’t available. I thought making a reservation would have reserved us a booth but not the case.

This was my third time here. The food was great as always, very fresh. I had the lobster bisque and chopped seafood salad which was a bigger serving than I had anticipated. Excellent service with friendly and efficient staff. Will return.

It took 30 minutes to receive a dozen oysters with no explanation. Then we were charged for a half loaf of sourdough bread and a few limp olives and celery sticks. I thought this was one of Boston’s nicer restaurants but COVID has clearly impacted it as it has fallen far.

Our evening at Oceanaire lacked any semblance of New Years Eve. Our table was next to the kitchen and near the bar. I requested away from the bar and at other end of the restaurant. We were a party of 7; 1 patron was left with no dinner in front of her as we were half finished ours by the time hers arrived. Oceanaire did not live up to our prior dinner experiences there!on NYE or any other evening in the past.

New Years Eve We arrived at 7 for our table of 5 for dinner. The apps were delicious but when asked if we’d like bread and celery dish ( 3 stalks of celery and a radish and 5 olives), we were not told it was for a price, didn’t see the cost of plate and bread until the bill came in which we waited forever for. My friend and I ordered shrimp scampi and it was seasoned so hot with hot pepper flakes that I was unable to eat the spaghetti I scraped the flakes off the shrimp so I was able to eat a couple but shrimp scampi should be made with just butter and garlic I didn’t want to send it back because my friends would all be finished by the time I got my meal We did not have dessert (mainly because we asked for a dessert menu and waited a very long time without ever receiving it) so we asked for the check, several times before finally getting it after waiting for over an hour The waitress only had 5 tables and didn’t seem overwhelmed We didn’t leave there until after 10 pm! I was so disappointed and for the cost, the meal should have been more edible So sad

Service was excellent, food was good but not on a par with its peers. I had the surf and turf...came with a cold-water lobster tail and 28-day aged ribeye. Tail was excellent but the steak was underwhelming, not even close to Capital Grill, Grill 23, Abe and Louis or Moo. If you are in the mood for seafood, this is a good choice since they have a huge selection of fresh fish.

Amazing, fresh seafood and excellent service! The ambiance was perfect with a history behind it being an old bank. This is certainly a place you would want for any occasion - Certainly impressive for all to experience.
