What People Are Saying About Oceanaire Seafood Room

In Short – Experience the glamour of a 1940's supperclub in a dining room that replicates a vintage cruise liner. The grand dining room gleams decadence with polished hardwoods and red leather booths, where fancied-up couples and groups indulge in oversized martinis and rich caviar. As big-band classics play in the background, crowds cluster around the half moon oyster bar for an outstanding selection of fresh shellfish and house specialty crab cakes. – – –
Great place for big groups!

Go family-style and order a few appetizers, salads and sides...The portions are huge, the food is fantastic and the service is great. Go for the hash browns...take home the left overs, they are great in the morning for breakfast!
- Pros: Huge portions of incredibly well-prepared food.
- Cons: Can be loud & a little cold

This is my all time favorite restaurant in San Diego! Grab a seat at the bar, order a French 75, crab cakes and chili rock shrimp and I promise you won't be disappointed. The atmosphere doesn't get any better!
- Pros: amazing service, cocktails, food and entertainment
- Cons: usually packed so get there early or make a reservation
