What People Are Saying About The Oceanaire Seafood Room

The Editor

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. – – –

Excellent Food & Service

by missexec at Citysearch

I took my assistant to lunch today to the for her birthday. I had called ahead to make special plans to have flowers I had ordered and gifts placed on the table prior to our arrival. Everything was done very professionally and exactly as I had requested. The seafood was excellent and the presentation was very nice. Thank you for the excellent service. I will be back.

  • Pros: ambiance was very nice

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
