Colin, our server, was awesome! All of the staff were delightful. The oysters were fabulous… good array of choices. We had two dozen between the two of us. Brussel sprouts were absolutely delicious. Main courses were good but WAY overpriced as were the cocktails and wine. The red blend Vermilion was delicious. Sablefish was not impressive other than the price.

It was incredibly overpriced for mediocre food. Decent service and staff but so expensive and food not at all special. Risotto side was watery and crunchy. Ahi tuna dish better at any local sushi place.

For the price, the service was poor/slow, it took 25 minutes to get our first drink ! Appetizers came out before our drinks ! The food was delicious, but all else was not, If I was asked, I would not go back, or recommend Oceanaire.

All stuff who’s been in the restaurant was amazing they all very nice and professional. Food was okay wasn’t something special They charge you like Michelin star restaurant but they don’t give you any quality food very regular value we paid for was way higher than we expected at the end. The atmosphere on a Saturday at 7 p.m. is a normal time for dinner we were expecting a busy evening but the restaurant was very very quiet and unfortunately very dark, I believe they wanted to invite calming vibes to their restaurant but they chose the wrong lighting for it. The end we enjoyed our dinner as the staff was very nice to us and made sure we are comfortable.

Service was very good. Food was ok especially for price. The Calamari was over salted. The bisque was too rich and heavy but tasted good. Lobster Mac and cheese was basically Mac and cheese topped with lobster. Nothing special for a 35$ side. The fois gras was good but tiny size. Brussel sprouts were good. Friends ate their salmon imperial which should be tasty at 70$. Husband got seared tuna which was just that. Very basic. Everything was over priced except for drinks and kids menu. Maybe we’ll try happy hour but probably not since it’s way out of the way for us now that we moved to county.

Our second visit was just as good as our first. My wife greatly enjoyed the New England clam chowder. I had the Hudson Valley Fois Gras, a rare menu item these day that was beautifully prepared. Entrees of crab cakes and salmon imperial were superb. Attentive waitstaff, perfect cocktails. Looking forward to our next visit.

Food was good not great I remembered it. Wine was great per recommendation of server. Double espresso was a watered down - not sure what it was really but it was espresso or double espresso. What we received and a double espresso had nothing in common. Unfortunately. Server was great.

Oceanaire is a beautiful restaurant, right across from The Four Seasons. Tonight (Christmas Day), the restaurant was busy and everyone had to wait a few minutes to be seated. The food was delicious and our server was very knowledgeable and helpful. If money or portion size don’t matter to you, this is an excellent choice. Those were my only gripes. If you’re going to charge $60 for grouper, at least it should be a decent-sized portion.

Quantity of food did not match price.. even for an upscale restaurant. Also we were charged double gratuity because we put drinks on separate bill. So gratuity was added to the food bill plus drink bill.

Oysters were delicious and the chef gave us a dressed oyster so that I could try it without ordering 6 or the drink! Filet was cooked absolutely perfect as rare, truffle potatoes were delish and the grouper was great as well. Well worth the money although the oysters were more costly than most places we've been to. Would definitely go back!

Nice place, beautiful ambiance, friendly staff. Overall I enjoyed the evening. They have delicious oysters and salads, I tried arugula one. But the sauce on scallops was not my favorite and shrimp fried rice was way too spicy. The waitress kept forgetting what we ordered and for some reason food came out very slowly. Other than that everything was fine. I will be back

I frequent Oceanaire... because most of my acquaintances love seafood but more importantly they have an inclusive menu for those that aren't so drawn to it. Shelby, our server, was awesome and this was my second time having her assist me... well versed on the options and checks in at just the right moment. This occasion was my sister's 50th and she thoroughly enjoyed her evening.

We came for a birthday celebration… it was a Monday so the restaurant wasn’t full. They added the name of the birthday girl to the menu and we got to keep them! Our waitress, Stephanie, was amazing! She had very good suggestions and was very attentive. The food and drinks were very tasty and fulfilling! They also gave the birthday guest a special dessert! All of the staff were friendly and welcoming. Great experience!

Delicious food and gracious service, BUT... $13 for a bowl of clam chowder? $50 for five scallops? $4 for bread & veggies (without telling us there would be a charge)? Thanks for the... memories.

So, our server was apparently driven by her bank account as she proceeded to mislead which meal options were separate meals and which were not. Do to the confusion and her haste with demanding our order, I ordered a meal I thought was one meal and it was actually the two of the most expensive meals on the menu. I took the flim flam in stride and even tipped 15% because I’m not a cruel human being. But, if this ever happens again, I’ll never eat at a Landry’s Restaurant ever again.
