    Very expensive but large portions easy to share. Excellent service from Sean who was attentive, knowledgeable, pleasant and paced the meal exactly as we wanted. Lobster cakes delicious. NY strips needed to be returned to get them med rare but this was done quickly and a couple of staff checked back to make sure they we were happy. No holiday decor in sight but elegant restaurant and our booth was quiet and easy to converse. Still our favorite downtown steakhouse!

    Had dinner on Christmas Eve with my family of four. Excellent service and ambiance. Great menu and good food. I had the lamb chops. My husband the filet which he said was the best he’d had in while. My daughter the scallops and my son the waygu burger. Thanks for a wonderful dinner out!

    Our server, Angel, and his peers are indeed Angels on earth. The attention to detail was incredible and impeccable. While service was slow, we also understood that it is Christmas Eve and they’re doing their best to make everyone feel as special as we did. The ENTIRE front of the house staff and the kitchen team deserve immediate 10% raises. That’s how fantastic they are.

    All I did was add the “birthday” option to our reservation on Open Table and Oceanaire did not disappoint. From the moment we checked in at the host station, throughout the meal (the menus had “Happy Birthday” printed on them) to the Baked Alaska dessert, we were wished the happiest of birthdays and thoughtfully cared for by the staff.

    Our favorite anniversary spot has been with this melting pot for the part couple years. This particular night they ran out of bread for the cheese course. But they went above and beyond to make that up and make our anniversary special. The manager and our server were both amazing people. 10/10 recommend
