We had the most amazing time celebrating New Year in their beautiful waterfall patio. The food was fresh, perfectly balanced and delicious and our waiter George made our experience even better!! Everything from appetizers to a complimentary dessert was fantastic and the cocktails and wine list is impressive too. Cannot wait to go back to OCEANOS!
