    The staff made certain that my birthday was memorable. Ethan helped ensure that we had space and were accommodated due to last minute changes - excellent customer service! Our waiter, Elmer, was top notch and made me feel as if I was the only person in the room, because of his attention to detail. The food was impeccable and the staff were absolutely AMAZING! My guests and I had a wonderful time. We will definitely be back!

    It took us 2 1/2 hours, on a slower night, to order, get our food and bill. By the time we got our food, it was cold and overcooked. Portions were small. Our waiter was more interested in helping a larger group than us.

    I have been to Oceanaire several times, and the time before tonight was in June for my birthday. The menu has since changed. I found the portions to be sparse and not flavorful at all.

    I had a horrible experience. I was immediately asked to remove my pagri (turban) which is culturally insensitive. We then waited for a waiter who was too overwhelmed. My food was cold upon arrival. I would not recommend.
