    We visited The Oceanaire in DC last night. As always, it was a great dining experience. Our bartender, Luis is a really nice person and we enjoy talking with him. He mixes great cocktails and always remembers our drinks. We had the filet mignon, slightly charred and perfectly medium rare, and an order of the best hash browns in the DC area. We will be returning soon.

    The only thing that turned me off was that every table around me were greeted by a server or performers. We had to ask for someone to come and explain to us how to order and what would make our first visit more enjoyable. Now that I’ve “experienced” the restaurant, I will know what to do and not waste 45 minutes trying to figure out how to order and not miss more performances. Since time was limited to two hours, I was worried that we would not have enough time to eat or drink. After placing an order we waited an additional 30+ minutes for our first drink to arrive then our food. Wasn’t sure if we had enough time to order a second drink, which we did but had to drink it fast as our two hour dining experience was over.
