Best KPortal Reviews
I had the pleasure of dining at Oceanaire recently, and I must say, the experience was outstanding! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the staff, and our server, Anthony, went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic meal. His attention to detail and friendly demeanor truly elevated our dining experience.
Now, let's talk about the food - it was divine! The crab cakes were perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection, and the sea bass practically melted in my mouth. And don't even get me started on the crab legs - they were a true seafood lover's dream come true!
To top it all off, the drinks were expertly crafted and complemented our meal beautifully.
Overall, I can't recommend Oceanaire enough for its excellent service, delicious food, and inviting atmosphere. A big thank you to Anthony and the entire team for making our evening unforgettable!
One of the perks of joining different restaurant food clubs is accruing points towards future purchases, exclusive member deals, & most of them give you something free for your birthday.. in some cases that might just be a free dessert, but Landry's Select Club gives $25 towards your birthday meal. With that being said, me & the Mrs. went to one of her favorites.. Oceanaire. When we switched our diet to pescatarian we began trying more seafood restaurants & Oceanaire is top notch. We still like exploring new places, buy when it comes to special occasions.. we always end up here. They're a little pricey, but since it was Devour week, she got her free dessert + $25.. we continued to let the good times roll. Happy Birthday Mrs. Edwards! ????
Oceanaire never disappoints. Succulent colossal crab cocktail, specialty oysters & tasty Chefs special combination of Maryland soft shell crab pickled vegetables, rice cake topped with nuts and surrounded by a delicious buttery coconut broth. Always enjoy sitting at the raw bar; however it was loud due to the firefighter convention. Although our busy (kind!) server got us off to a slow start he was supplemented by other staff which made our return to one of our favorite venues well worth the treat for tasty food at a hefty price.
This is my 2nd time back to Oceanaire Seafood Room and I was even more impressed. The service is truly remarkable, Jacob was extremely attentive and made us feel special the entire way through dinner. The atmosphere is intimate and cozy. Our food was prepared to perfection and had outstanding flavor. The escargot is a must! The Baked Alaska was fun and sweet way to end the evening!
The food was awesome along with that atmosphere, but we were there for close to three hours due to the service. We would try them again.
This is our second visit as our time went so well. Once again The Oceanaire did not let us down.
The atmosphere is perfect for a high end restaurant and in my opinion the setting and lighting as one would expect.
Service was impeccable and the waitress in training,Ana, was already ahead of many seasoned servers I have encountered in other restaurants. The rest of the wait staff right there as backup as well.
We mixed it up this visit and went with the fried calamari mix and happy we did. Great flavor and tenderness, often overcooked or just bland which this was not.
The crab cakes perfectly presented and being from the east coast, I can say very impressed. The lobster tail I added just made it that much more fun. Halibut t-bone also a wonderful decision made. All served in a perfectly paced environment, to which I do believe many diners do not understand or enjoy. To some perhaps having appetizer and salad and main course all arrive within seconds a positive, this is not one would generally expect at a fine restaurant.
I think my only not great review was our Brussel Sprout selection as side. The preparation sounded interesting so we went with it. We also went with it knowing our other selections in the past superb, so no harm nor foul lol.
I highly recommend The Oceanaire. A fine upscale seafood restaurant operating in the Midwest, with the ability to serve fresh and often not found combinations at this level.
To those who have mentioned prices, please see above comment as without close proximity to the sea, there will certainly be extra costs to bring fresh seafood here.
I reserved a table for Valentine's Day about 2-3 weeks ahead of time for my partner and me. It was our first time going there; we were excited and had high expectations. Unfortunately, only some of those expectations were met.
On the day of our reservation, we showed up 2-3 minutes early and were told we needed to wait 15 minutes for our table. I understand it was a busy night, but even so, a reservation was made, so the table should've been available and ready to seat with a minimum of 5-minute wait time. Not to mention, several other couples had also made reservations and were not accommodated. The entire time we were there, the front door and hostess desk entrance were jam-packed. This does not look well for their atmosphere as each party member probably waited 20-30+ minutes to get a table that they reserved. They either seated several walk-ins without looking more carefully at the reservations or overbooked altogether.
About 15 minutes passed, and I had yet to receive a text or get called up for a table. I gave them another 10 minutes and attempted to speak with a hostess or manager who was upfront. They spoke with one of the customers, and dispersed in different directions. The hostess desk was unattended, and at least two hostesses were on their phones in the coat check room. I had to "interrupt" them to let them know I had finally gotten a text and would like to be seated. It felt highly unprofessional for the hostess desk to be unattended for longer than 5 minutes when there was a line out the door and customers who needed to be attended to.
Eventually, one of the younger hostesses sat us at probably one of the worst tables in the restaurant. It was situated in the direct path of a walkway, where both waiters and customers were bumping into my partner's chair. I let her know, and initially, she told me I'd have to wait a while for another table. I almost left at that point, but luckily, another employee came up and moved us to the balcony. I hope we caught the Oceanaire Seafood Room on a bad day because it would be a shame if this were the highly-rated restaurant I've heard about all these years.
With that being said, our waiter was the best! He was very attentive and answered a plethora of our questions. The food arrived promptly, and we even made friends at our table.
The woman who seated us was cold and unfriendly. It took our server several minutes to bring water and bread. Drink orders took 10 minutes to receive. Any requests were forgotten and multiple other staff picked up the slack of our server, Tiffany who would disappear for long periods of time. Note that this was not a very busy time of the day. The food was yummy though. Despite our lack of service we still gave Tiffany an undeserved great tip. The service leaves me not wanting to return.
