The Oceanaire Seafood Room

The Oceanaire Is one of the best restaurants on The Charm'tastic Mile with a great selection of seafood, fish & steak. The happy-hour is one of the 5 best in the city. Their cocktails are also superb. I have always enjoyed my special nights out at The Oceanaire.

My son took me here for my birthday and I had the best time. The waitress was wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed and she surprised me with a fiery piece of cake which was so good. I will love to go back soon and highly recommend this place.

Ate here for the first time ever on 7/29/23. We've been to a lot of the fine dining places in the area (Capital Grille, The Bygone, The Charleston, etc.) and I must say out of all of the places we've been the Oceanaire was the best experience out of all of them so far. Atmosphere was a very chill vibe, with elegance. Loved it. Service: Our server (shoutout to Colin) was the best server we've ever had. Extremely attentive, professional, kind, and helpful. Here are just two things (out of many) that stood out about the service: 1) I loved how he went over the menu with us in multiple broken up sessions (example: go over the starters first, then leaves the table and comes back to go over entrees, rinse and repeat,). The pacing was extremely nice, it felt perfect. He also had extremely helpful food suggestions. 2) Being asked to cut into my steak as soon as it was set down in front of me to make sure it was cooked properly is awesome. I've been to fancy steakhouses that don't even do that. Food: We had a few oysters and the octopus to start. My goodness....so good! My wife had the Chilean seabass with crab meat and I had the new york strip with the Massachusetts Sea Scallops (both of our meals were Colin's suggestions). Our food was so freaking good .....and bonus we got a nice portions, so that means food to take home! We love turning our entrees into multiple meals (more bang for our buck!). The sides were shareable so we picked a crawfish and andouille risotto which was also freaking delicious.... The dessert (baked alaska, which is torched marshmallow on top of icecream and delicious sponge cake) that Colin torched in front of us himself was one of my all-time favorite desserts i've ever eaten! The cocktails were splendid and very well made too. Overall the food and drink were just spectacular. The amazing service and atmosphere pushed everything over the top (thanks Colin), which is why I ranked Oceanaire higher than the other fine dining restaurants. We will be happy to come back here! At the time of this writing we were told they offer a really great deal on Oysters at the bar on Sundays.

This place was nice. Great place to have a nice dinner. Formal/ semi formal atmosphere. Great service, attention to detail for fine dining. Good was good.. Didn't hit the full mark. Interesting when the manager came and asked about dinner. We began a conversation.. abruptly left the conversation to answer the phone and never returned. Overall a good dinner.

Being out of town, I decided to send my parents here for Xmas dinner. Though the food and service were good. I am very disappointed at the restaurant advertising a valet service but not providing the service. My father is disabled, one functioning knee. And my mother, at 81, doesn't walk as well. They were directed to public garage. Luckily, my cousin was there last minute to provide the valet.

Oceanaire is a fine dining establishment, but doesn't appear to have a dress code, which I found awesome. The place is a little too dimly lit for my taste, but the dining room is beautiful. We sat in a big luxurious booth, and we were greeted promptly by a very well dressed server. We ordered the cheese board, which was delicious, and they brought complimentary bread to the table. I got the crabcakes, loaded with jumbo lump meat, and my buddy got a tuna steak. The food was top notch. Note that everything is al a carte, so nothing comes with sides. My only real gripe was the prices, it's not inexpensive. I would definitely return, probably for a special occasion.
