We love the Oceanair but last night service was not up to standard. The waiting training our waiter should not have been training. Service was poor.

Nina was an excellent server. She knew it was our anniversary celebration, recommended wine, the fast service was quite fast and the quality is fabulous. Your seafood is always top quality and portions were good sized. The baked Alaska was delicious. Definitely recommended for celebration meals.

Everything about the meal was wonderful from the food to the service to the drinks and finally desert. Definitely save room for desert. The baked Alaska was plenty enough for 4 of us. The only complaint I would have is the parking. I valeted and ended up walking to get to my car because it was such a mess and you pay $15.00 after getting your ticket validated.

Our server was stellar, the martini was great; unfortunately the halibut was so overcooked and dry it was awful! We ordered hash browns, Oceanaire way, and they, too, were way overdone ~ so very dry and hard ~ even the middle interior was crispy. Such a shame ~ we love Oceanaire but this is the second time we have been seriously disappointed.

The food quality was quite disappointing. The fish quality was mediocre at best. Small portions of lacking flavor and somewhat greasy. The chopped salad was over flavored with too much vinaigrette dressing.

One of the best places for Seafood, they have the usual and the unusual. The servers (we had) were excellent, attentive and helpful as well as anticipatoryFood was served correctly, Bread and subsequent soup, and Entrees were not served until we were done with the soup. I dislike places that you order the soup or salad and then one or two bites and they are shoving them out of the way for the entrees. By the time I get to the entrees they are 15 minutes cold. Clam Chowder was divine. Swordfish and Stripe Bass was very nice. The dry aged Ribeye was considered good but it could have been better. My son said the Blue Cheese butter seemed to be the only seasoning on the steak and once that was gone it was a bit bland. I tried it and agreed. One other comment was the lack of a surf and turf type combo on the menu. If they could mix and match a small steak with a fis/shellfish accompaniment, that may be a good choice. All in All, this is a very nice place, and we do go here once a year for seafood primarily.

Everything was wonderful. Only 1 thing was wrong. We had the shrimp cocktail & the shrimp were over cooked. Everything was wonderful. I had the chicken fried lobster. Suggested by the waitress. It was fabulous. I will have it every time I go from now on! Husband had steak. It was cooked to perfection! Go try it yourselves & see!

We had dinner for the family on Christmas Eve. Everyone enjoyed the place, ambiance and food quality. My only complaint is that they ran out of certain dishes ordered by multiple family members. This was communicated to each person, and in the end, I think everyone was happy. 6 adults, 2 bottles of wine, 3 appetizers and full meals for $1,000. This includes a $200 tip.

Sad to say, this is not the Oceanaire of years ago. It was an expensive disappointment. Not very busy, but yet out of several things and not told about it until after we ordered it. My wife didn't even touch her meal, it arrived last and cold. We usually dine out on Christmas Eve and are accustomed to things not running on all cylinders, but when the kids even notice and are making fun of how off things are, that's bad. Sadly, it will be a long time before I return. I thought for sure that would be a place that could get it right.

As always a great experience. Bright the wife and grandmother for their first visit and they loved it. Appetizer round was shrimp cocktail and crab cake and they fell silent as they ate (I was amazed lol) Grandma had the red grouper, wife had the surf and turf (gotta get that filet), and I had the halibut with risotto and mushrooms. To round off the night we had the baked Alaskan with coffees. They've already asked if this will happen more often. (Note to self, I need to get them out more). May you enjoy!

We went for our anniversary and ordered blackened mahi-mahi but seemed they substituted another fish without telling. I left disappointed with my favorite crab cake, as it seemed it was not cooked. Also my filet was over cooked. Disappointed from the other visits.

Probably the most delicious dinner I've ever had. Be prepared to spend a pretty penny, but every bite will remind you how worth it the food there is. Service and scene are both great too.

We gave a new place a try and on first glance we really liked it. The atmosphere is very nice and the service was exceptional, except for something dumb, although there were bread crumbs all over the table, the servers never used their tool to clean the table. We had high expectations based on the reviews and online photos. The cocktails were tasty. The bread and relish tray were very disappointing. The sourdough bread was dense and hard, without the wonderful sourdough flavor and the relish tray was on ice so long the texture was like it had been frozen. We started off with New England claim chowder and although it was very good, it tasted more like baked potato soup than traditional clam chowder. The seared tuna was good, but not all up to par with what I was expecting. The mahi mahi was good, as well as the cheese grits. We really liked the restaurant and the atmosphere, but the food was not on par with my expectations. It was good, but not on the level of Truluck’s or Ocean Prime or even Morton’s.

Had a fabulous dinner at Oceanaire for a date night last night with my husband. The swordfish black and blue was soooo good and paired perfectly with a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Mack took great care of us! Oceanaire is one of our favorites!
